This study assessed the effects of natural expressive tendencies on physiological response to stress. Male undergraduates were unobtrusively observed while watching a stressor videotape. On the basis of the subjects' facial responsiveness to the film, a group of 23 natural expressers and 22 natural inhibitors were selected and exposed to a threat of shock situation during which heart rate, resp...

Sometimes we have to work with  $L$-fuzzy context sequences where one or more values are missing. These sequences can represent, among other things, the evolution in time of an $L$-fuzzy context. The studies of tendencies that we have done so far used tools that are not valid when the $L$-fuzzy context has unknown values. In this work we address such situations and we propose new methods to tac...

Three studies investigated the impact of self-construal on impulsive consumption. Independents exhibited more impulsive consumption tendencies than did interdependents. A chronically accessible independent self-construal was positively associated with country-level beer consumption (study 1a) and state-level problem alcohol consumption (study 1b). Experimentally primed independents reported mor...
