Two studies assessed the hypothesis that immigrants are more confident in their judgment of others' emotional facial expressions if the expresser is a member of their cultural ingroup rather than a member of the host community or another cultur...

The harmonic solution (HS) on a graph is one of the most popular approaches to semi-supervised learning. This is the first paper that studies how to identify highly confident HS predictions on a graph based on the HS on its subgraph. The premise of our method is that the subgraph is much smaller than the graph and therefore the most confident predictions can be identified much faster than compu...

This three-sample study focused on changes in four key features of women’s personalities (identity, generativity, confident power, and concern about aging) over the course of middle age. Based on women’s retrospective and concurrent feelings about their lives in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, scales were developed and validated for the four themes. We found that identity certainty, generativity, conf...

Two groups of listeners, with Dutch and British English as their native language judged stimuli in Dutch and British English, respectively, on the scales CONFIDENT vs. NOT CONFIDENT and FRIENDLY vs. NOT FRIENDLY, two meanings derived from Ohala’s universal Frequency Code. The stimuli, which were lexically equivalent, were varied in pitch contour and pitch range. In both languages, the perceived...
