aim and background: infertility may cause various forms of emotional and psychosocial problems, especially among women. many studies have focused on the psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and marital adjustment, in infertile women. however, very little research has been published concerning women's perception of infertility. this study aimed to investigate the irrational perce...

Irrational drug use is associated with adverse consequences including drug resistance and avoidable adverse drug reactions. Studies of rational drug use in psychiatric facilities are scanty. This study evaluated prescription practices and perception of health care professionals regarding causes of irrational drug use. A retrospective study conducted at the outpatient clinic of Federal Neuropsyc...

I was originally asked to speak on the prospects of doing r physics at future B factories, i.e., machines to be designed and built in the upcomi ng decade(s) to achieve 1O34 luminosities at T(4S) energies. I have decided that I could give a more meaningful talk if the subject were the future of +r physics at the world’s existing B factory, namely CESR at Cornell. While I feel that much can and ...

By observing other people, we can often infer goals and motivations behind their actions. This study examines the role of the action observation network (AON) and the mentalising network (MZN) in the perception of rational and irrational actions. Past studies in this area report mixed results, so the present paper uses new stimuli which precisely control motion path, the social form of the acto...

We investigated possible pathways into mental illness via the combined effects of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI), mindfulness, and irrational beliefs. The sample comprised 121 psychiatric outpatients (64.5% males, mean age = 38.8 years) with a variety of formal clinical diagnoses. Psychopathology was operationalized by means of 3 distinct indicators from the Millon Clinical Multi-Axial...

Rational emotive behaviour therapists view stress-related disorders as originating in irrational beliefs (iB’s), phirosophies and anitudes, as opposed to the stressor. People who suffer from stress d@erfrom people who suffer from emotional or neurotic problems mainly an that the stressed people have iB’s about specific, short-term or more readdy identifiable events, as opposed w the more mundan...

We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for the Monster centralisers related to the Harada-Norton, Held, M12 and L3(3) simple groups based on certain orbifolding constraints. We find explicitly the fixing groups of the hauptmoduls arising in each case. PACS: 11.25.Hf, 02.10.De, 02.20.Bb

Bortolotti’s Delusions and Other Irrational Beliefs defends the view that delusions are beliefs on a continuum with other beliefs. A different view is that delusions are more like illusions, that is, they arise from faulty perception. This view, which is not targeted by the book, makes it easier to explain why delusions are so alien and disabling but needs to appeal to forensic aspects of funct...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychological profile of craniofacial pain sufferers and the impact of patient subtype classification on the short-time effectiveness of a self-administered relaxation training. METHODS One hundred unselected in-office patients (67% females) suffering from chronic facial pain and/or headache with the presumptive diagnose of temporo-...

Recent research has investigated the neural basis of social perception, the ability to make high-level social inferences from perceptual information. The right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) has been identified as a candidate region for this ability, but the specific processes to which the pSTS contributes remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the neural correlates of...
