This article examines relationships among top-management-team composition, group processes, and the effects of those processes on cohesion for international joint venture (IJV) teams in Thailand. For culturally diverse teams, demographic elements (member age, length of team tenure, level of education, functional expertise) and cultural characteristics (country of education, nationality, affilia...

“Network neutrality” and “open access” are two policies designed to preserve openness on the Internet. Open access mandates openness of conduits (e.g. television cable and DSL) to intermediaries (e.g. America Online), while network neutrality mandates openness to advanced content (streaming video, interactive e-commerce, etc.). We develop a systems model with free entry and competition in all t...

The effects of increasing openness on economic growth and inflation are examined for the South Korean economy before the economic crisis of 1997/98. The framework of analysis is a seven-variable vector autoregressive model. The impulse response functions indicate that a shock to openness has negative effects on the growth rates of output and of the price level, but no longer-run effects. The va...

Potentiation of serotonergic transmission increases cognitive flexibility, but can in other circumstances increase sensitivity to stressful environmental cues. The personality trait Openness to Experience reflects and is also associated with an increased risk for mood disorders. We hypothesized that the personality trait has an association with a biomarker of serotonergic transmission, the plas...

Here, S stands for the closure of the set S. Various openness and almost openness notions are build on the inclusions (1.1) and (1.2). Every openness property implies the corresponding almost openness property, for S⊆ S. It is expected for the converse implication to be true in case that the multifunction F has a closed graph. In this regard, we recall the result in [12, Chapter 6, Lemma 36, pa...

This study examined the effects of computer-assisted communication on team decision-making performance as a function of the team's openness to experience. Seventy-nine teams performing a multiple-cue probability learning task were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 experimental conditions: (a) verbal communication or (b) computer-assisted communication (which combined verbal and computerized communica...

BACKGROUND The relationship between normal personality and hypnotic susceptibility is important for understanding mental processing and mental disorders, but it is less consistent in normal people or in patients with a psychiatric disorder. We have hypothesized that the correlation exists but varies in individuals with different levels of hypnotizability. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS We invited 7...

The current project investigated why people with high levels of Openness/Intellect tend to have higher levels of cognitive functioning than people with lower levels of Openness/Intellect. We hypothesized that the positive relationship between Openness/Intellect and cognition might be attributable to more open people being more likely to engage in cognitively stimulating activities that are bene...
