If people are so self-interested, why do they give their money away to charities? One possibility is that people care about the level of the public good their donations provide. But this is not a good explanation: free-riding typically dominates donating even for people who care a great deal about the good in question, and even in groups that are substantially smaller than those in which people...

Focusing on the task of identifying event temporal status, we find that events directly or indirectly governing the target event in a dependency tree are most important contexts. Therefore, we extract dependency chains containing context events and use them as input in neural network models, which consistently outperform previous models using local context words as input. Visualization verifies...

One reason for this growing interest is the spate of recent high-profile disruptions, such as September 1...

Framed in the transactional model of stress, we tested a model in which God images would influence happiness partially through its influence on disease interpretation as a mediating mechanism. We expected God images to have bot...

Recent advances in our knowledge of mental illness have not lr*ade it any easier to reconcile this suffering with a belief in Cod. As long as all mental illness could be ascribed to evil spirits the Question of God's responsibility was not so great. The dichotomy of ^?d and the devil did give, as it were, a working solution to the problem although it did not give any final answer. The very idea of
