Agreeableness and alcohol-related aggression: The mediating effect of trait aggressivity.

This study investigated the mediating effect of trait aggressivity on the relation between agreeableness and alcohol-related aggression in a laboratory setting. Participants were 116 healthy male social drinkers between 21 and 30 years of age. Agreeableness and trait aggressivity were measured using the Big Five Inventory and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, respectively. Following the consumption of an alcohol or no-alcohol control beverage, participants completed a modified version of the Taylor Aggression Paradigm, in which electric shocks were received from and administered to a fictitious opponent during a competitive task. Aggression was operationalized as the proportion of the most extreme shocks delivered to the fictitious opponent under conditions of low and high provocation. Results indicated that lower levels of agreeableness were associated with higher levels of trait aggressivity. In turn, higher levels of trait aggressivity predicted extreme aggression in intoxicated, but not sober, participants under low, but not high, provocation. Findings highlight the importance of examining determinants of intoxicated aggression within a broader theoretical framework of personality.

On the temporal stability of personality: Evidence for differential stability and the role of life experiences.

The authors investigated the stability of personality and trait affect in young adults. In Studies 1 and 2, young adults were retested on a Big Five personality measure and a trait affect inventory over a 2.5-year and a 2-month period, respectively. Results from Study 1 point to positive mean-level changes; participants scored higher on Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness at Time 2. Affectively, participants experienced less negative affect and more positive affect at Time 2. Results from both retests provide clear evidence of differential stability. Affective traits were consistently less stable than the Big Five. Other analyses suggest that life events influence the stability of affective traits more than the Big Five.

The Self and Object Representations of Narcissistically Disturbed Children: An Empirical Investigation.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate a correlation between the clinical assessment of narcissistic personality disorder in children and underlying self and object relationships. D. Westen's Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale for the Thematic Apperception Test (1995; D. Westen, N. Lohr, K. Silk, K. Kerber, & S. Goodrich, 1985) was used to compare the object representations of two groups of referred latency-aged children, one for whom narcissistic issues were thought to be primary. Support for the clinical literature, which describes these children as lacking in empathy, struggling with self-esteem regulation, and in poor control of their impulses or aggression, was found. Additionally, a tendency to have a vulnerable sense of identity and to be preoccupied with seeking out and developing relationships with others was found to differentiate these children from peers with similar behavioral and diagnostic profiles. Results obtained have potential implications for the assessment and treatment of narcissistically disturbed children. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Strategies for Coping With Business Trips: A Qualitative Exploratory Study.

This study aimed to better understand the impact of business trips on the traveler, the family, and the organization; to learn about maximizing the positive aspects of business travel; and to suggest measures to prevent and manage travel stress. Thirty-five business travelers (American, Israeli, and Swedish) were interviewed about the costs and benefits of their traveling, with a focus on gaining insight into coping strategies. Content analysis of the interviews showed that trips consist of 4 phases--(a) pretrip, (b) journey, (c) stay, and (d) posttrip--and that each phase is characterized by different coping strategies. Business travelers reported using proactive individual and organizational coping strategies in the pretrip phase and a combination of proactive and reactive coping strategies in the other phases.

The Other Animals as "Psychopaths."

The author describes a female cat that was placed in a private home as a pet instead of being vivisected or extirpated following experimental testing. This cat was the only one that broke through the wind-barrier, showed no nervous symptoms, was generally relaxed and friendly, and was pleasantly responsive to the experimenters. The cat's social, sexual, and maternal behaviors are described. The major point to be made here is that attributes of the human psychopath have been observed in this cat, and that this personality syndrome may represent a dimension of animal behavior that could account for variations in reactions to stress, conflict, and "treatment" in animal experiments.

Ego impairment in schizophrenia as reflected in the Object Sorting Test.

Matched groups of schizophrenics and neurotics (a group which also included personality disorders), were compared on their performance on the Object Sorting Test. The schizophrenics could be significantly differentiated from the neurotics (and personality disorders) by virtue of their conceptualizations involving open-private ideas (à la McGaughran and Moran, 1956), inappropriate sorting, peculiar verbalizations, and perseverative thinking. The results are related to ego impairment in schizophrenia, and add to the capacity of this test of conceptual thinking to distinguish the thinking activity of schizophrenics from that of most other psychiatric patients.

一种基于情感和个性的Agent注意控制模型

对注意资源的合理管理,以及在适当的时机进行注意切换是Agent的一项重要机能。现有的注意控制方法侧重于强调智能的认知方面,较少考虑智能的情感方面。该文提出一种基于情感和个性的注意控制模型,对情感机制和认知系统进行有机集成,以管理Agent的注意资源和切换注意等。仿真结果验证了模型的有效性,同时在情感机制有效调节下,Agent的行为表现出了不同的个性。     

Labyrinth 3D. Cultural archetypes for exploring media archives

Since the advent of the World Wide Web, online media archives have changed their audience from a restricted number of professionals and amateurs to the general public. This shift is not without consequences: if, on the one side, it represents an important opportunity for archives to engage in a dialogue with a larger audience, on the other side, it advocates novel forms of access that go beyond the highly specialized models underlying traditional access tools. In this paper, we propose to use 3-D graphics for designing novel tools of exploratory search in cultural heritage archives. Our approach has been deployed as an online virtual environment where the user can navigate the meaning relations over the items in the archive. Targeted at cultural heritage, the application, called Labyrinth 3D, relies on the use of cultural archetypes to inform the conceptualization of the archive and the creation of the virtual environment, with the goal of engaging the user in the exploration of the archive through the creation of personal paths.
