AbstractThe sense of agency describes the experience of controlling one’s body
to cause desired effects in the world. We explored whether this is influenced by
interoceptive processes. Specifically, we investigated whether the sense of
agency changes depending on where, in the cardiac cycle (systole or diastole),
the action was executed and where the outcome of the action occurred. In two
experime... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractColexification is a linguistic phenomenon that occurs when multiple
concepts are expressed in a language with the same word. Colexification patterns
are frequently used to estimate the meaning similarity between words, but the
hypothesis that these are related is still missing direct empirical validation
at scale. Here, we show for the first time that words linked by colexification

AbstractGratitude activities have been shown to increase well-being and other
positive outcomes in numerous experiments to date. The current study tested
whether self-directed gratitude interventions that vary by type (i.e., social
vs. nonsocial) and format (i.e., long-form letters vs. shorter lists) produce
differential benefits. To that end, 958 Australian adults were assigned to one
of six acti... hiện toàn bộ

communicated directly to the benefactor one-to-one, or shared publicly? We
tested this question in a... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractContextual factors shape emotion regulation (ER). The intensity of
emotional stimuli may be such a contextual factor that influences the selection
and moderates the effectiveness of ER strategies in reducing negative affect
(NA). Prior research has shown that, on average, when emotional stimuli were
more intense, distraction was selected over reappraisal (and vice versa). This
pattern was ... hiện toàn bộ
