Research has found that many people view climate change as a psychologically distant, future threat, which leads them to be less motivated engage in pro-environmental behavior. Engaging episodic thinking (EFT; projecting the self into pre-experience events) may facilitate perception of events close, thereby increasing perceived risk associated with those events. Therefore, engagement EFT regarding change–related risks should induce higher perceptions and lead acting pro-environmentally. In...

Eastern countries emphasize family relationships, where parents may use emotional blackmail—leveraging fear, obligation, and guilt through filial piety—to influence children’s career adaptability. Career adaptability involves proactive strategies to meet demands. This study investigates the relationship among personality traits, parental blackmail, military in a sample of 1,164 Taiwanese cadets (884 males 280 females; ages 18–22, M = 19.72, SD 1.40). Results revealed that traits blackmail...

This study investigated the mediating effects of personality traits, sexism, and bystander attitudes toward sexual harassment (BASH) among female navy personnel in Taiwan. A cluster sampling method was used to recruit 281 participants, with data collected on age, sexism perceptions, BASH via a structured questionnaire. Descriptive analyses, analysis variance (ANOVA), structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that aged 21 30 1 4 years service reported significantly lower scores. Older...

Bullying in schools remains a critical issue, and teachers often struggle to identify students at risk of victimization. This study explores the prevalence various forms bullying among high-risk groups Taiwanese schools, using peer perspectives gain insight. A total 1,732 (734 males 998 females) participated survey that measured 10 common types bullying, assessing both students’ perceptions actual frequency occurrences over past 6 months. The multidimensional Rasch model (Kelderman, 1996)...

Abstract. This study focuses on how aerosols, serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), affect the properties of diurnal precipitation under weak synoptic weather regime over complex topography, which is a common summertime environmental in Taiwan. Semi-realistic large-eddy simulations (LESs) were carried out using TaiwanVVM and driven by idealized observational soundings. We perform object-based tracking analyses, diagnose both spatial temporal connectivity convective systems, aiming to...

Low engagement with climate change may stem from the tendency to discount distant benefits of mitigation action. Hence, a reduced future should be associated increased involvement in mitigation. Prior research has demonstrated that episodic thinking (EFT; i.e., envisioning events involve self-projection) can reduce discounting. In two laboratory studies, we showed engaging EFT about action was lower discounting toward environmental gains (Experiments 1 and 2) greater act pro-environmentally,...

The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is used to simulate the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) over 2011–2020 winter. 45 day hindcasts are made with 30 km horizontal resolution and constructed a time-lagged ensemble system. climatology, major modes of EAWM variability, blocking activities examined. evaluation results reveal that MPAS can climatologic characteristics reasonably, surface cold bias 4% positive rainfall 9% Asia. perform skillfully in forecasts temperature probability...

BACKGROUND:Work attention in employees with schizophrenia is a significant issue vocational rehabilitation. Background music very popular workplaces, and according to some investigations, can help increase at work if utilized appropriately. OBJECTIVE:This study investigates the i nfluence of background tempo on performance chronic schizophrenia. METHODS:A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was performed test 240 participants under four conditions, namely no music, fast tempo, slow white...

Human morality entails a typical self-control dilemma in which one must conform to moral rules or socially desirable norms while exerting control over amoral, selfish impulses. Extant research regarding the connection between and level of construal suggest that, compared with low-level, concrete (highlighting means resources, e.g., answering 'how' questions), high-level, abstract central goals, 'why' questions) promotes self-control. Hence, construing at higher levels rather than lower...

Various coordinate systems of cadastral map are not very easy to be unified in Taiwan area due temporal-spatial limitation these maps. Therefore, the urban planning map, topographic and other base cannot integrate into geographic information system (GIS) for additional value-added applications. Cadastral is directly related people's property, it essential develop "three map-in-one" project precisely overlap three types maps (cadastral map) through rigorous operation procedures innovative...

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the elderly population has increasingly worked in various workplaces. Hence, measurements to assess work attention of become an important need. OBJECTIVES: The aims this research project are develop iPad-based assessment tool, “Shih-Hsu Test Attention” (SHTA) for attention, that adopts touchscreen as medium interface, and explore criterion-related validity test-retest reliability new tool elders. METHODS: Thirty-one participants aged between 65–85 years were...

Abstract. This study focuses on how aerosols, serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), affect the properties of summertime diurnal precipitation under weak synoptic weather regime over complex topography in Taiwan. Semi-realistic large-eddy simulations (LESs) were carried out using vector vorticity equation model with high-resolution Taiwan (TaiwanVVM) and driven by idealized observational soundings. Since aerosol effects convection could be specific during different stages life cycle, we...

Objective: The “Shih-Hsu Test of Attention” (SHTA) is an iPad-based attention assessment tool developed by occupational therapists in recent years, and has acceptable criterion-related validity high test–retest reliability preliminary application. In this study, we intended to explore the inter-rater SHTA between experienced inexperienced therapists. Methods: We recruited 24 voluntary study participants aged 20–24 years study. completed twice therapist therapy student. Results: Analytical...
