In a seminal paper by von Stein and Sarnthein (200), it was hypothesized that “bottom-up” information processing of “content” elicits local, high frequency (beta-gamma) oscillations, whereas “top-down” processing is “contextual”, characterized by large scale integration spanning distant cortical regions, and implemented by slower frequency (theta-alpha) oscillations. This corresponds to a mecha...

Munchausen syndrome, a mental disorder, was named in 1951 by Richard Asher after Karl Friedrich Hieronymus, Baron Münchhausen (1720-1797), whose name had become proverbial as the narrator of false and ridiculously exaggerated exploits. The first edition of Münchhausen's tales appeared anonymously in 1785 (Baron Münchausen's narrative of his marvelous travels and campaigns in Russia), and was wr...

Developed by Baron-Cohen et al. (1997, 2001), the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test requires individuals to determine mental states from photos of pairs of eyes. Used in over 250 studies, it has been conceptualized as an advanced theory of mind test that is relatively free of general cognitive abilities. Given the sensitivity of the instrument, many studies with healthy adult samples have used ...

We analyze an inÞnitely repeated divide-the-dollar bargaining game with an endogenous reversion point. In each session a new dollar is divided among three legislators according to the proposal of a randomly recognized member — if a majority prefer so — or according to previous period’s allocation otherwise. We characterize a Markov Perfect Nash Equilibrium of this game and study the resultant e...

This study investigates the extent to which job satisfaction mediates the relationship between job stress work outcomes, such as intention to leave the employer and citizenship behaviour (OCB). Job satisfaction is examined as a mediator between stress and intention to leave, and OCB. The procedure advocated by Baron and Kenny (1986) was selected for the mediation test. The result pattern across...
