In this study, it was aimed to determine how the emotional self-efficacy and problem-solving skills of high school students differ according demographic variables. The study group research consists 394 students. 'Sociodemographic Information Form', 'Problem Solving Skills Inventory' 'Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale' were used collect data. analysis data, Independent Groups t-Test, , Kruskal Walli...

The trial went very poorly from the beginning. The jury was comprised of about an even split of men/women and black/whites-five jurors did not have a high school education and three slept through goodly portions of the trial. The plaintiff's lawyer was very aggressive .... It was a fiasco from beginning to end. The judge was clearly angry at our failure to settle and talked with us three times ...

The purpose was to compare the time to task failure for a sustained isometric contraction performed at a submaximal intensity with the elbow flexor muscles by young and old men who were matched for strength. Eight young men (18-31 yr) and eight old men (67-76 yr) sustained an isometric contraction at 20% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque until the target torque could no longer be ac...

Despite considerable research on the influence of emotions on risk taking, investigators have yet to agree on an explanatory framework. Reviewing the literature, we identify problems with popular valence-based approaches. In contrast, Lerner and Keltner s (2000, 2001) appraisal-tendencies theory has been supported, and usefully generates testable predictions regarding the effects of specific em...

By moving from a suggestive example, the paper analyzes how information flows among agents involved in a deliberation. By deliberating, agents become aware of details, draw the attention of the group to some issues, perform inferences and announce what they know. The proposed framework—which builds on the paradigm of dynamic logic— captures how, during a deliberation, information results from s...

Background—Muscle sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerve activity increases with age in healthy humans but does not result in an augmented forearm vasoconstrictor tone. We tested the hypothesis that this is due to a reduction in postjunctional -adrenergic responsiveness to endogenous norepinephrine (NE) release and determined whether this was specific to 1or 2-adrenergic receptors. Methods and Resul...
