AbstractHealth messages designed to address obesity are typically focused on the long-term benefits of eating healthy food. However, according to the insurance hypothesis, obese people are food insecure, and this causes them to be overly concerned about short-term consumption. As such, it is necessary to rethink public health messaging and consider how to reduce short-term insecurity by eating healthy food.

The decisive feature of creative management is the creation of conditions for self-realization, which determines the relevance of the study of the transformational vector of creative motivation for the development of creative capabilities of staff. A significant problem of psychological management approaches to creative motivation is the awareness of the need for continuously updated material incentives for staff. A reward received as a deserved prize may cause its unjustified expectation in the future, and its absence begins to be perceived as an unfair incentive system. Monetary motivation is also not an effective tool for stimulating the creative development of staff, because its positive-motivating effect only manifests itself in the first 48 hours. The introduction of a bonus system as a short-term incentive usually indicates the desire of managers to mechanically control the motivation of employees. The use of bonuses is based on the incorrect assumption that an employee does not fully utilize his own potential, and this leads to a motivated inconsistency between the actual and the possible volume of work. Thus, the system of bonus incentives, not taking into account the complex interweaving of market factors, market conditions, prices, products, competition, can destroy the employee's responsibility for achieving the resultant results. Motivated systems that directly rely on quantitative results of work often target workers to achieve short-term success, ignoring long-term development prospects. The effect of displacement of internal motivation with external motivation is manifested: interest in remuneration displaces interest in creative work. Material incentives appear to be incapable of motivating most of them to a long-term desire for self-improvement, development and achievement of creative results. Job satisfaction, diverse activities that require dedication, self-planning goals, education and training, and participation in management are often more important than attractive wages and bonuses in the form of a bonus. The psychological danger to the head is also the use of established non-material methods of stimulating creativity, which often provoke material expectations from the staff. The newest managerial approaches to creative motivation must mutually coordinate the nonlinear combination of different directions of material and immaterial stimulation, despite their certain contradictory nature. Thus, the motivation of creativity focuses on the psychological self-regulation of the individual, integrating the intellectual, motivational, volitional and emotional components of creative activity.

The new basic school curriculum provides an opportunity to promote the development of student value system and responsibility in the pedagogical process. The emphasized requirements for Grade 9 graduates are: self-regulation, positive attitude, tolerance, personal responsibility, civic engagement, patriotism, and understanding of the important values of the society, ensuring the transfer and application of knowledge to the existing reality. Summarizing the empirical research data, it can be concluded that the predominant values for Grade 9 pupils are family, friends, peers and concern about education. Some students find it difficult to name their own values and the values of Latvia. The students involved in the study can be described as responsible only in those areas that affect the respondents themselves on a short term basis. Research highlights the lack of responsibility particularly in such categories as students` ability to take responsibility for their country, their future and their education. This means that in the pedagogical process, during the implementation of the conceptual framework of the new basic education curriculum, it is necessary to promote students' understanding in order to develop a long-term perspective.

Moral character can be conceptualized as an individual’s disposition to think, feel, and behave in an ethical versus unethical manner, or as the subset of individual differences relevant to morality. This essay provides an organizing framework for understanding moral character and its relationship to ethical and unethical work behaviors. We present a tripartite model for understanding moral character, with the idea that there are motivational, ability, and identity elements. The motivational element is consideration of others—referring to a disposition toward considering the needs and interests of others, and how one’s own actions affect other people. The ability element is self-regulation—referring to a disposition toward regulating one’s behavior effectively, specifically with reference to behaviors that have positive short-term consequences but negative long-term consequences for oneself or others. The identity element is moral identity—referring to a disposition toward valuing morality and wanting to view oneself as a moral person. After unpacking what moral character is, we turn our attention to what moral character does, with a focus on how it influences unethical behavior, situation selection, and situation creation. Our research indicates that the impact of moral character on work outcomes is significant and consequential, with important implications for research and practice in organizational behavior.

This is a pre-print of an article accepted for publication in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction. The final authenticated version will be available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11469-020-00329-6. The three flaws of the ESRB and PEGI's introduction of the 'Includes Random Items' label are identified. This self-regulatory measure fails to provide sufficient information about the randomised in-game purchase mechanics; does not appropriately identify gambling as gambling and fails to guarantee minimum age ratings to protect young children; and can be circumvented with a separate line of products. Self-regulation alone is insufficient at protecting consumers from loot box-related harms. Legal restrictions on the sale of loot boxes in the short-term and the adoption of ethical game design by the industry in the long term are necessary to ensure consumer protection.

The ability to delay short-term gratification to pursue valuable long-term goals is essential for personal and even societal success. We provide a review of the conceptual status of delay of gratification from the perspectives of volitional, expectancy-value, and self-regulation theories as well as evidence regarding the associations between academic delay of gratification (ADOG), motivational beliefs, and use of self-regulated learning strategies. Cultural factors are considered, specifically influences on the assessment and understanding of research on ADOG. Suggestions are provided for ways to facilitate self-regulation of learning and delay of gratification within and across cultural contexts.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Previous short term toxicological studies of one to two weeks duration have demonstrated that MDL 19,660 (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-3Hl, 2,4-triazole-3-thione), an antidepressant drug, causes a dose-related thrombocytopenia in dogs. Platelet counts started to decline after two days of dosing with 30 mg/kg/day and continued to decrease to their lowest levels by 5-7 days. The loss in platelets was primarily of the small discoid subpopulation. In vitro studies have also indicated that MDL 19,660: does not spontaneously aggregate canine platelets and has moderate antiaggregating properties by inhibiting ADP-induced aggregation. The objectives of the present investigation of MDL 19,660 were to evaluate ultrastructurally long term effects on platelet internal architecture and changes in subpopulations of platelets and megakaryocytes.Nine male and nine female beagle dogs were divided equally into three groups and were administered orally 0, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day of MDL 19,660 for three months. Compared to a control platelet range of 353,000- 452,000/μl, a doserelated thrombocytopenia reached a maximum severity of an average of 135,000/μl for the 15 mg/kg/day dogs after two weeks and 81,000/μl for the 30 mg/kg/day dogs after one week.
