• Money-primed individuals see public emotional expressions as less appropriate. • Money-primed individuals show less emotional expressions themselves. • Money-primed individuals judge others' emotions to be more extreme. • Money-primed individuals avoid interacting with emotional others. • These effects disappear when emotional expressions are believed to be private. a b s t r a c t a r t i c ...

Social desirability effects make it difficult to learn voters’ racial attitudes. List experiments can tap sensitive issues without directly asking respondents to express overt opinions. The authors report on such an experiment about Barack Obama as the first black president, finding that 30 percent of white Americans were “troubled” by the prospect of Obama as the first black president. The aut...

The interest in families as part of the social environment of people suffering from psychosis dates from the war. The early ideas took the form of speculation without adequate research underpinning, and were often couched in terms that suggested that families might be to blame for the sufferers' illness. Nevertheless, the speculations were a first attempt to appreciate the impact of the social ...

Although expressed emotion (EE) has been demonstrated to be associated with the course of schizophrenia, the nature of this relationship is unclear. This study proposes that testing for curvilinear relationships can identify the specific nature of the relationships between EE indices and relapse. The utility of curvilinear models was explored through a reanalysis of data from a prior study of E...

Nineteen healthy parents of long-term schizophrenia outpatients were assessed for levels of expressed emotion (EE) and for characteristics of communication style which are putative markers of vulnerability to schizophrenia. We administered measures of communication deviance, linguistic reference performance, global disorganization, and positive formal thought disorder. Parents high in EE showed...

The mechanisms underlying the association between expressed emotion (EE) and the prognosis in early psychosis are still not well understood. Based on the attributional model, this study investigated the association of criticism and Emotional Over-Involvement (EOI) with symptoms and functioning in At-Risk Mental State (ARMS) and First-Episode Psychosis (FEP) patients, and whether these associati...

The items of the Five Minute Speech Sample, an instrument to elicit relatives' expressed emotion, were investigated in a follow-up study of 120 parents of adolescents with recent-onset schizophrenia. A composite scale was constructed using Mokken scale analysis. From the 9 available items, 6 formed a unidimensional and cumulative scale. This scale was applicable for the total parent group, as w...

The study investigated interpretive understanding, moral judgments, and emotion attributions in relation to social behaviour in a sample of 59 5-year-old, 123 7-year-old, and 130 9-year-old children. Interpretive understanding was assessed by two tasks measuring children's understanding of ambiguous situations. Moral judgments and emotion attributions were measured using two moral rule transgre...

BACKGROUND High levels of expressed emotion (EE) in parents have been found to put children at risk for emotional and behavioural problems. However, the majority of existing studies have focused on mothers of school-aged children and adolescents rather than younger children, and have only rarely included fathers. METHODS The present study examined the reliability of EE in mothers and fathers ...

We introduce a two-alternative forced-choice experimental paradigm to quantify expressed emotions in music using the two wellknown arousal and valence (AV) dimensions. In order to produce AV scores from the pairwise comparisons and to visualize the locations of excerpts in the AV space, we introduce a flexible Gaussian process (GP) framework which learns from the pairwise comparisons directly. ...
