the study aimed to check the mediation role of cognitive emotional regulation for emotional safety and emotional problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. the sample of this study consisted of 240 high school students in fasa, fars (120 girls and 120 boys). the method of sampling was multistage cluster sampling. the mean age for the sample was 16.3 years old with sd=1.5. the scales that ...

In social psychology, emotional contagion describes the widely observed phenomenon of one person’s emotions being influenced by surrounding people’s emotions. While the overall effect is agreed upon, the underlying mechanism of the spread of emotions has seen little quantification and application to computational agents despite extensive evidence of its impacts in everyday life. In this paper, ...

Nowadays, the experimental study of emotional learning is commonly based on classical conditioning paradigms and models, which have been thoroughly investigated in the last century. Unluckily, models based on classical conditioning are unable to explain or predict important psychophysiological phenomena, such as the failure of the extinction of emotional responses in certain circumstances (for ...

In the present issue we discuss a theoretical model for processing of emotional speech during text analysis and synthesis. The model is developed for description of speech influence in affective mass media texts and also applies to several other types of emotional communication, including conflict, complaint and speech aggression. The model follows H-CogAff architecture of cognitive models and ...

In biomedical research, a health effect is frequently associated with protracted exposures of varying intensity sustained in the past. The main complexity of modeling and interpreting such phenomena lies in the additional temporal dimension needed to express the association, as the risk depends on both intensity and timing of past exposures. This type of dependency is defined here as exposure-l...

BACKGROUND To increase power to detect a treatment effect, trials may combine multiple endpoints such as survival, myocardial infarctions, and strokes. When such trials are used to define the uncertainty associated with input parameters in an economic model, the output uncertainty will depend on the way in which the dependency between individual endpoints is modeled. OBJECTIVE To develop a fl...

Estimation of learning curves is ubiquitously based on proportions of correct responses within moving trial windows. Thereby, it is tacitly assumed that learning performance is constant within the moving windows, which, however, is often not the case. In the present study we demonstrate that violations of this assumption lead to systematic errors in the analysis of learning curves, and we explo...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to investigate hemodynamic responses to adjectives pronounced in happy and angry intonations of varying emotional intensity. In separate sessions, participants judged the emotional valence of either intonation or semantics. To disentangle effects of emotional prosodic intensity from confounding acoustic parameters, mean and variability of volume an...

 Industry is related to sustainable effects. Green industry is linked to a circular economy.  There is a huge growth and wealth of population. This means countries are interested in reducing inefficiencies in economy. The circular economy is a good way to resolve this.  The object of circular economy is cleaner production. For example, to reduce toxic materials would thereby mean creating mo...
