In this study, we integrate different research streams—attachment, social identity, and organizational citizenship behavior—to have a better understanding of determinants of individual subjective wellbeing in the context of a virtual community (VC). Attachment is an emotion-laden, target-specific bond between a person and a specific object. Attachment is an important predictor of citizenship be...

Natural language processing is a fast and automatized process. A crucial part of this process is parsing, the online incremental construction of a syntactic structure. The aim of this study was to test whether a wh-filler extracted from an embedded clause is initially attached as the object of the matrix verb with subsequent reanalysis, and if so, whether the plausibility of such an attachment ...

Rorschach data were used to psychometrically "map" the internal psychological operations of three Cluster B personality disorders, listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., rev. [DSM-III-R]; American Psychiatric Association, 1987), all of which may be organized at a borderline level. Psychopathic antisocial subjects (P-APDs) and narcissistic subjects (NPDs) w...

Psychoanalysts from Freud up to the present have defined the goal of mourning as the detachment of libidinal ties from the deceased love object. The author reviewed recent clinical and empirical literature that casts doubt on this assumption by showing that a continuing internal relationship with the lost object is found in many bereaved individuals. These data suggest a need to reconceptualize...

For the approximately 1% of the human genome in the ENCODE regions, only about half of the transcriptionally active regions (TARs) identified with tiling microarrays correspond to annotated exons. Here we categorize this large amount of "unannotated transcription." We use a number of disparate features to classify the 6988 novel TARs-array expression profiles across cell lines and conditions, s...

We investigated the effects of repetition priming on the time course of recognition in several visual areas of the brain using fMRI. We slowed down recognition by gradually revealing the stimuli, in order to prolong the pre-recognition phase. Activation was lower for primed than for non-primed objects overall in both the occipitotemporal region (OTR) and the intraparietal region (IPR). A differ...

introduction: mother as the main attachment figure has an undeniable effect on affective development of the child. the aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship and predictability of girls` attachment problems through mothers` attachment style. method: sample included 388 individuals of second and fourth grade of primary school that had been chosen through multistage cluster ...

The visualization of a three-dimensional viscous flow around an embedded object is typically based on the analysis of its wall shear stress. This vector field defined over the object body exhibits structures that are key to the qualitative evaluation of the surrounding flow. Open separation and attachment lines are of essential interest in aerodynamics due to their adverse effects on the object...

TOPIC Attachment theory and reactive attachment disorder (RAD). PURPOSE To highlight current perspectives on attachment theory, RAD, and treatment implications using a case study of an 8-year-old patient with RAD. SOURCES Selected multidisciplinary literature related to attachment theory and RAD. CONCLUSIONS The literature provides a body of work that substantiates the importance of early...

Despite the prevalence of dogs as family pets and increased scientific interest in canine behavior, few studies have investigated characteristics of the child or dog that influence the child-dog relationship. In the present study, we explored how behavioral and self-report measures influence a child's reported feelings of attachment to their dog, as assessed by the Lexington Attachment to Pets ...
