Presenting stimuli that are salient to their concerns produces particular patterns of avoidance or vigilance in both clinical and nonclinical populations. To date, no research has explored if this effect extends forensic populations when presented with violently themed stimuli. Such material can be seen as potentially those people who might habitually resort aggression. test prediction, two studies (a dot-probe emotional Stroop) examined the presenting aggressively words a group offenders...

Examines the attendance objectives of Japanese visitors for both a domestic (Japanese) and offshore (US) trade show, explores relationship between successful show visit future intentions. Results suggest that attendees maintain very similar goals international regardless show’s geographical location, but conceptualize participation differently. Also demonstrates successfully achieving different types attendee significantly increases attendees’ interest levels in at each two shows examined....

A series of four questionnaires - the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11), Driving Anger (DAS) and a Violence Inventory (DVI) were administered to sample 473 British drivers consisting undergraduates (N=185), members public (N=106) offenders (N=182) serving sentences in closed prisons England (violent=82, non-violent=100). Offenders consistently rated acts driving aggression as less severe compared with other drivers. Offender attributions violence...

As part of an ongoing research project we examined information-processing biases in forensic and nonforensic participants (n = 10 sex offenders, n violent nonviolent 13 undergraduates). A computerised version the Stroop task demonstrated that offenders convicted both sexual offences were significantly slower than undergraduates to color-name words relating offending (with demonstrating greatest interference bias). Furthermore, processing bias was also evident for aggression but not...

Abstract A study was conducted to segment consumers in terms of their attitudes toward environmentally certified wood products. Factor analysis reduced seven variables environmental certification two distinct factors. Cluster analysis, performed on the forest and products certification, suggested existence six relatively homogeneous groupings or segments consumers. Multiple discriminant provided a method for profiling these consumer demographic, attitudinal, trust (respondent's potential...

Abstract Research is beginning to suggest that elevated levels of anger may influence responses in traditional cognitive tests attention. To date research has focused upon nonforensic samples, and trait state anger. If individuals who are habitually aggressive demonstrate processing bias then it likely other constructs such as aggressiveness, hostility, impulsivity will also be correlated with any performance. We attempted extend the by considering role experience using a group offenders...

Abstract This research corroborates work by Mohai (1992) and others showing a consistent gender difference in environmental concern favoring women. It also helps resolve paradox that women show more than men, but they are less environmentally active. Using data from survey of U.S. homeowners completed 1994, we again find concerned men. However, when green consumerism, rather membership organizations, is used as an indicator environmentalism (the dependent variable), tend to be active...

There is a robust relationship between the salience of stimulus materials presented in Emotional Stroop task and inhibition response clinical populations. Researchers have now found information-processing biases both forensic non-forensic samples with threatening or aggressive stimuli [Cohen et'al., 1998; Eckhardt Cohen, 1997; Smith Waterman, 2003; Van Honk 2001]. We sought to explore sex differences processing words relating acts direct indirect aggression using group undergraduates (50...

For decades, the pulp industry has struggled to create sustainable value-added opportunities for lignin, and issue is now at forefront of second-generation biorefinery research development efforts. Our work presents a sequential process examining potential lignin valorization. The chemical physical properties cause issues in isolation, characterization, standardization and, therefore, product manufacturing. First, short list high-opportunity products was developed from literature. Several...

Many companies have gained great benefit from a speed-to-market program. Others tried but failed to achieve measurable, sustained value. Still others not even tried, being concerned about adverse consequences. This article helps newcomers decide how approach time market. It first addresses some common fears development acceleration, such as increased project expense and lapses in quality. An effective program overcomes these concerns, it must do much more. stem statement, clear all...

The global phenomena of wildlife migration to urban areas unsettle notions the city being exclusively for humans. Using a dialogue between political ecology and multispecies ethnographies we explore entanglement as way forward humans non-humans work together. Over last two decades Grey-Headed Flying-Fox has become increasingly prevalent in urbanised spaces south-east Australia, establishing roosts trees parks, recreational residential yards. Human–flying-fox relations are complex, tensions...
