Executing an action in response to a stimulus is thought to result in the creation of an event code that integrates stimulus and action features (Allport, 1987; Hommel in Visual Cognition 5: 183-216, 1998). When switching between tasks, competitor priming occurs if a distractor stimulus cues the retrieval of a previously established event code in which that distractor is bound to a competing ta...

Sports psychology is of recent origin. There is a great advancement of games and sports now-a-days which was not prevalent in the past. Cratty confirms that intellectual involvement and intelligent decision-making on the part of an athlete is a matter of experience. Morton Prince described, “Personality is the sum total of all the biological innate dispositions, impulses, tendencies, attitudes ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM In Social Psychology, in relation to the effects of contact, there are two theoretical strands apparently fighting against each other: to one side, the contact hypothesis of Allport according to which, the meeting between members of different groups can, if managed in favorable conditions, reduce prejudice, on the other side, the Social Identity Theory of Tajfel and Turner, a...

The extent to which the Self-schema is differentiated from the cognitive schemata representing other people has important meaning for diversification of social vs. individual identity (Snyder and Fromkin, 1980; Brewer, 1991; Jarymowicz, 1993), socialization and individuation (Ziller, 1964), and interdependence and individualism (Waterman, 1981). All these concepts must be taken into account in ...

A Medical Officer Questionnaire (MOQ), the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) and the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values (SV) were administered to 134 Prospective Submarine Medical Officers (PSMO's) and 105 Medical Officers (MO's) who had not volunteered for this branch of the service (NSMO's). All MO's in both groups held the rank of Lieutenant. The NSMO's were somewhat senior and had...

There has been numerous studies designed to assess the effects of religion on the psychological well-being of older adults. However, reviewing the literature reveals that currently the empirical work is inconsistent and often contradictory on this issue. The current study is designed to examine the effects of religiosity on psychological well-being in older adults. Psychological well-being will...

setting is a system for helping people to get in touch with themselves. A basic tenet of Actualizing Therapy is that most people are other-directed rather than innerdirected (Riesman, 1950). They look to the outside— to authorities and people they respect—for “shoulds,” “have tos” and “musts,” not realizing that they could better learn to live from within: to trust their own thoughts, feelings,...

Ninety-eight subjects, 94 women and 4 men, compl...

Using a novel referent size-selection task, MacDonald, Joordens, and Seergobin (1999; MacDonald & Joordens, 2000) found that negative priming persisted even when participants were encouraged to attend to distractors before selectively responding to targets. This finding suggested that negative priming is not caused by processes that operate on stimuli that are to be ignored in the traditional s...
