This paper reports the results of a study on the relationship between individual differences and specific uses of music, referring to why and how people use music in everyday life. Questionnaire data from 341 respondents showed that open and intellectually engaged individuals, and those with higher IQ scores, tended to use music in a rational/cognitive way, while neurotic, introverted and non-c...

We use linguistic algorithms to measure the extraversion of company executives based on their speech patterns during conference calls. We find extraverted executives earn significantly higher salaries. Extraverted CFOs are more often promoted to CEO, and extraverted CEOs are more likely to serve on outside boards. Analyzing executive transitions, we find that firms with extraverted CEOs garner ...

This study explores the effects of the Big Five personality traits and threat of evaluation on divergent and convergent thinking in a sample of 82 UK students. Results showed that Openness and Extraversion predicted divergent thinking under both threat of evaluation and no evaluation, whilst Neuroticism correlated significantly with divergent thinking (negatively) only under threat of evaluatio...

In this paper, the artist/author wishes to examine corporeality in the virtual realm, through the usage of the (non)-physical body of the avatar. Two sister art installations created in the virtual world of Second Life®, both of which are meant to be accessed with site specific avatars, will provide the creative platform whereby this investigation is undertaken. While the installation “Anatomia...

Often, we work with vector spaces which consists of an appropriate. Many concepts concerning vectors in Rn can be extended to other mathematical systems. We can think of a vector space in.of a finite-dimensional nontrivial proper subspace of such a vector space is equivalent to ACA0 over RCA0. This paper is a continuation of 3.Subspaces of Vector Spaces. A subspace W of a vector space V is a su...

What activates individuals’ support for autocratic governments? Some suggest that the answer is perceptions of increased corruption and/or poor economic performance. We do not dispute this explanation but instead contend it depends on individual differences in personality. hypothesise introverted and closed-minded citizens are generally resistant to democracy. When democracies appear unable add...

Hyperspectral image (HSI) clustering is a challenging task due to the high complexity of HSI data. Subspace has been proven be powerful for exploiting intrinsic relationship between data points. Despite impressive performance in clustering, traditional subspace methods often ignore inherent structural information among In this article, we revisit with graph convolution and present novel framewo...

This paper presents a new subspace modeling and selection approach for noisy speech recognition. In subspace modeling, we develop factor analysis (FA) for representing noisy speech. FA is a data generation model where the common factors are extracted with factor loading matrix and specific factors. We bridge the connection of FA to signal subspace (SS) approach. Interestingly, FA partitions noi...
