Experiencing social identity threat from scientific findings can lead people to cognitively devalue the respective findings. Three studies examined whether potentially threatening scientific findings motivate group members to take action against the respective findings by publicly discrediting them on the Web. Results show that strongly (vs. weakly) identified group members (i.e., people who id...

In face recognition Local appearance based methods has achieved greater performance. In this paper, we have proposed single sample per class using Center Symmetric Local Binary Pattern and Gabor Filter. Gabor Filter extracts the textual feature and generates a binary face templat and the binary face template acts like a mask to extract local texture information using Center Symmetric Local Bina...

In visual search, an angry face in a crowd "pops out" unlike a happy or a neutral face. This "anger superiority effect" conflicts with views of visual perception holding that complex stimulus contents cannot be detected without focused top-down attention. Implicit visual processing of threatening changes was studied by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) using facial stimuli using the cha...

People with high levels of trait anxiety are said to orient attention selectively to threatening stimuli (Bradley, Mogg, White, Groom, & de Bono, 1999; MacLeod, Mathews, & Tata, 1986), but this effect is sometimes difficult to replicate. We suggest a reason for this difficulty is that typical tests of the spatial attention bias in anxiety failed to consider together: (1) the differential effect...

The amygdala is purported to play an important role in face processing, yet the specificity of its activation to face stimuli and the relative contribution of identity and expression to its activation are unknown. In the current study, neural activity in the amygdala was recorded as monkeys passively viewed images of monkey faces, human faces, and objects on a computer monitor. Comparable propo...

This paper reviews how Austin’s illocutionary act theory is used in face-to-face communication and online communication. In the aspect of interaction, this places attention on use polite language interaction ESL (English as a second language) classrooms. terms explored Facebook memes, emoticons, emojis stickers. After reviewing several research, concluded that when talking face-to-face, level f...

We introduce computational creativity theory (CCT) as an analogue in computational creativity research to computational learning theory in machine learning. In its current draft, CCT comprises the FACE descriptive model of creative acts as tuples of generative acts, and the IDEA descriptive model of the impact such creative acts may have. To introduce these, we simplify various assumptions abou...

This article presents the findings of a pilot study situated in tertiary care cancer centre and examines impact an art therapy group on experiences women living through breast cancer. The design used this is qualitative cross-case comparative case. Ten were interviewed about their making art, many for first time. Interviews transcribed analysed, along with participants’ artist statements. Categ...

many physicians have received a frantic call from anxious parents stating that their child had stopped breathing, become limp, or turned blue but then had recovered quickly. an apparent life-threatening event (alte) is defined as “an episode that is frightening to the observer, and is characterized by some combination of apnea, color change, marked change in muscle tone, choking, gagging, or co...

Background: For the perception of facial attractiveness, the orbital region in the face acts as a key determinant factor. The Orbitofacial measurements vary with sex and race. Orbital region in the face is one of the most important regions in plastic, reconstructive and ophthalmic surgery and anthropometric evaluation. There are no reports available on the Orbitofacial anthropometry in Indian A...
