A self-report instrument yielded two separate factors: private body consciousness (awareness of internal sensations) and public observable aspects body). For each factor, norms, test-retest reliability data, correlations with other personality measures are presented. An experiment on reaction to ingestion caffeine revealed that only subjects high in or both selfconsciousness were stimulated by caffeine; individual differences self-consciousness alone had no impact. These findings have...
In this target article, we argue that personality processes, structure, and development have to be understood investigated in integrated ways order provide comprehensive responses the key questions of psychology. The psychological processes mechanisms explain concrete behaviour situations should explanation for patterns variation across individuals, over time as well structures observed intra–individual inter–individual differences. Personality structures, defined covariation behaviour,...
We argue that recent work in connectionist modeling, particular the parallel constraint satisfaction processes are central to many of these models, has great importance for understanding issues both historical and current concern social psychologists. first provide a brief description with emphasis on processes. Second, we examine tremendous similarities between Gestalt principles were foundation much modem psychology. propose computational implementation psychology such seminal...
Are some individuals more apt to alter their physical appearance seem attractive? The current research investigated individual differences in the use of makeup. Women who were particularly concerned about (those high public self-consciousness) wore makeup and believe that enhances social interactions. Implications for Self-Consciousness findings are discussed.

Abstract The concept of situations has a long past, but the conceptualization only short history. This article provides survey situations. Based upon Milgram’s [ Human Relations 18 (1965) , 57] vision toward ‘a compelling theory situations,’ authors examine in three specific literatures: definitions situations, taxonomies and interrelationships among persons, behaviors. To further integrate literature, propose that essence situation is its affordance human goals, are largely characterized by...
Introduction Men who have sex with men (MSM) often face socially sanctioned disapproval of sexual deviance from the heterosexual “normal.” Such stigma can be internalized producing a painful affective state (i.e., shame). Although shame (e.g., addiction) predict risk‐taking alcohol abuse), shame's link to is unclear. Socially Optimized Learning in Virtual Environments (SOLVE) was designed reduce MSM's shame, but whether it does so, and if that reduction predicts HIV risk reduction, To test...
It is argued that goals are central to the meaning and structure of many traits help define prototypicality those traits. Partly on basis Barsalou s (1985) work goal-derived categories, it was predicted judged trait-related behaviors confidence with which people make trait inferences from behaviors. Consistent this hypothesis, ratings extent achieved goal associated a strongly pred icted typicality Furthermore, rated goal-relatedness behavior also would inference behavior. suggested play...
A model is presented of how people construct coherent representations others. It integrates work on knowledge with Kintsch's construction-integration discourse comprehension and Thagard's explanatory coherence. major claim that parallel constraint satisfaction processes, fundamental to connectionist modeling, play a role in the development representations. Several topics are examined: (a) making goal inferences trait inferences, (b) combine apparently inconsistent traits arrive at...
A socially optimized learning approach, which integrates diverse theoretical perspectives, places men who have sex with (MSM) in an interactive virtual environment designed to simulate the emotional, interpersonal, and contextual narrative of actual sexual encounter while challenging changing MSM's more automatic patterns risky responses. MSM assume a character's identity are scaffolded their decision-making relearning process by supportive, often humorous, peer coaches encourage situated...
The Virtual Personalities Model is a motive-based neural network model that provides both psychological and computational implementation explicates the dynamics often large within-person variability in behavior arises over time. At same time can produce -- across many virtual personalities - between subject when factor analyzed yields familiar personality structure (e.g., Big-5). First, we describe our its as model. Second, focus on detailing neurobiological underpinnings of this Third,...
Objective: African Americans (AAs) carry the largest burden for almost every type of cancer in US and are also more likely to die from cancer. Approximately 10% cancers can be explained by a hereditary factor detected earlier. Many AAs, however, have inequitable access risk assessment (HCRA) tools information, further exacerbating disparities rates. Innovative communication strategies promote community-based HCRA information promise as means encouraging optimal primary screening among AAs....
Plastic is a major threat to seabirds and the ingestion of plastic may involve sensory trap, where odours appearance marine plastics can resemble food, or exploit animals' pre-existing biases. Our global survey literature reveals that clear-white most common colour found in ocean also ingested by seabirds. However, our case study seabird diversity hotspot (northern Aotearoa New Zealand) indicates although on beaches, local have more species-specific patterns ingestion. dissections 13 species...
A neural network model of personality is presented. The has two goal systems: an approach system (BAS) and avoidance (BIS), as well a that governs the level disinhibition/constraint (IS) in systems behavior system. Furthermore, within both systems, agentic communal goals are specified. By tweaking parameters this (e.g., chronic activation goals, sensitivity systems), randomly or systematically varying situational arrays, distinct patterns “behavior” by Virtual Personalities (VPs) across...
Integrating Zajonc's affective primacy framework with Steele and Southwick's Inhibitory Conflict Model, we hypothesized that alcohol would have its strongest impact when one's initial reaction was in direct conflict more cognitively based inhibitory cues. In an by expectancy balanced placebo design, women viewed potential partners from a fictitious video dating service who varied attractiveness sexual risk. Only under high (i. e., attractive, sexually risky partner) did enhance perceived...
