abstract background: gifted individuals have exclusive personality traits and need various experiences to achieve more information about themselves and their ability into developmental process from giftedness to talent. also, they can increase mental experiences and obtain greater self- actualization with recognition of the level of challenges, values and their personality traits. the aim of th...

In this paper, we study the subjunctive relative clause as a means to understand the relation between (non)veridicality, existence and event actualization. I argue that the subjunctive in the relative clause carries a presupposition of epistemic uncertainty as to the existence of a referent for the modified NP. This uncertainty can only be satisfied in non-veridical contexts, hence the distribu...

In a recent article, Wilkins, Hjelle, and Thompson (1977) argued that unlike the Dabrowski-deGrace hypothesis, self-actualized Ss should have lower levels of manifest anxiety than low self-actualized Ss. Wilkins et al. demonstrated that this was indeed a preferable hypothesis. The present experiment concerns the relationship of actualization to state and trait anxiety. Ss were administered the ...

background: gifted students have many personality traits that can improve them to experiences achievement. some factoers such as openness to experience and self-reference aid us to find relationship between these factors and others dimensions. methods: the relationship between personality traits, self-awareness, and self-actualization dimensions was assayed among 239 gifted students from shiraz...

Developing learning experiences that facilitate self-actualization and creativity is among the most important goals of our society in preparation for the future. To facilitate deep understanding of a new concept, to facilitate learning, learners must have the opportunity to develop multiple and flexible perspectives. The process of becoming an expert involves failure, as well as the ability to ...

"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" is a diagram etched in the minds of most business and social science majors and many practitioners. It is much like a mantra and has been widely accepted, though initially it was not empirically tested. In a Theory of Hunzan Motivation (Maslow, 1943) A. H. Maslow postulated that only needs not yet satisfied influence human behavior. The theory also predicted that w...

We propose a set of rules for the computation of prosody which are implemented in an existing generic Data-to-Speech system. The rules make crucial use of both sentence-internal and sentence-external semantic and syntactic information provided by the system. In a Text-toSpeech system, this information would have to be obtained through text analysis, but in Data-to-Speech it is readily available...

The basic interconnections of module specifications (union, composition and actualization) were studied in earlier papers. Here we introduce partial composition and partial actualization of module specifications, describe the connection with their "total" counterpart and prove that the result of successive partial compositions (or actualizations) is independent of the order. We also introduce a...
