Surface-based binding assays are often influenced by the transport of analyte to sensor surface. Using simulated data sets, we test a simple two-compartment model see if its description and is sufficient accurately analyze BIACORE data. First present computer that can generate realistic This calculates laminar flow within cell, diffusion both perpendicular parallel surface, reversible chemical reaction between immobilized reactant. We use this under variety conditions. An analysis these sets...

Research has shown limited support for the notion that perceived effectiveness of collective action is a predictor intentions to engage in action. One reason may be been terms whether will influence key decision makers.

This study investigated the impact of media coverage a health issue (skin cancer) on judgements risk to self and others role related communication processes. Consistent with predictions derived from impersonal hypothesis, effects mass were more evident in perceptions rather than personal risk. Perceptions strongly correlated interpersonal communication. However, as suggested by system dependency theory, relationship between beliefs was complex. The both found be moderated self-reported...

Using BIAcore technology, we determined the rate constants for a protein antigen-antibody interaction that was mass transport limited on optical biosensor. The antigen consisted of soluble form human T-cell receptor CD4 (two amino terminal domains, D1D2) and antibody an anti-CD4 monoclonal from monkey engineered with constant domains IgG1. High quality response data were obtained this by orienting attachment sensor surface correcting instrument artifacts control experiments. numerical...

The authors examine how beliefs about the stability of social hierarchy moderate link between sexism and essentialist gender expression might reciprocally affect structure. Studies 1 (N = 240) 2 143) presented gender-based inequality as stable, changing, or changed. In both studies, was positively associated with essentialism only among men when changing.

Societal inequality has been found to harm the mental and physical health of its members undermine overall social cohesion. Here, we tested hypothesis that economic is associated with a wish for strong leader in study involving 28 countries from five continents (Study 1, N = 6,112), an Australian community sample 2, 515), two experiments 3a, 96; Study 3b, 296). We correlational (Studies 1 2) experimental 3a 3b) evidence our prediction higher enhances leader. also this relationship mediated...

Sociologists coined the term "anomie" to describe societies that are characterized by disintegration and deregulation. Extending beyond conceptualizations of anomie conflate measurements as 'a state society' a 'state mind', we disentangle these develop an analysis measure this phenomenon focusing on perception society'. We propose encompasses two dimensions: perceived breakdown in social fabric (i.e., lack trust erosion moral standards) leadership deregulation legitimacy effectiveness...

The authors propose that the salience of a distant-future time perspective, compared to near-future should increase attitude-behaviour and attitude-intention consistency for future-oriented behaviours. To test this prediction, perspective was experimentally manipulated in three studies. Across studies, participants condition demonstrated strong positive relationship between attitudes towards behaviours (saving environmental protection) corresponding intentions, as well behaviour. In...

The present studies investigated why video racing games increase players' risk-taking inclinations. Four reveal that playing increases risk taking in a subsequent simulated road traffic situation, as well risk-promoting cognitions and emotions, blood pressure, sensation seeking, attitudes toward reckless driving. Study 1 ruled out the role of experimental demand creating such effects. Studies 2 3 showed effect on was partially mediated by changes self-perceptions driver. These effects were...

An experimental manipulated older adults' salient as Younger or Older, well that involves specific memory decline versus generalized decline. Memory general ability tests are typically used dementia screening were then administered. As predicted, Older dramatically reduced performance, but measure which this effect was revealed depended...

Self-categorization theory suggests that inter-group comparisons inform individual behaviour by affecting perceived in-group stereotypes are internalized group members. The present paper provides evidence for this chain of effects in the domain environmental behaviour. In two studies, comparative context was manipulated. Study 1 found stereotype, self-stereotype (as represented reported value centrality), and behavioural intentions shifted away from a comparison out-group (irrespective...

This research investigated how an individual’s endorsements of mitigation and adaptation relate to each other, well these can be accounted for by relevant social psychological factors. Based on survey data from two European convenience samples (N = 616 / 309) we found that public are strongly associated: Someone who is willing reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) also prepare climate change impacts (adaptation). Moreover, people endorsed the response strategies similar reasons:...

Past research has demonstrated a broad association between prejudice and essentialism. However, also shown that essentialism are not always linked in the same way - sometimes essentialist thinking is associated with prejudice, but it not. The aim of present was to explore experimentally how might relate beliefs about race differently depending on being used (inclusively or exclusively) who implied target such treatment (ethnic minorities white majority).
