The Given

Implementing controlling into business practice is a difficult, long-term and complex process that is unique for each enterprise. It is affected by various psychological factors that evoked positive and negative emotions in owners, managers and employees. The main objective of this paper is to identify key psychological factors, emotions and barriers affecting employees during implementing controlling into business practice. The empirical research into the given problem was conducted by the questioning method in a form of questionnaire. In order to evaluate the research results, the descriptive, graphical, and mathematic-statistical methods were used. Based of the findings, a concept was proposed to put emphasis on the key psychological aspects of the enterprise employees during implementation of this tool. The proposed concept could become a support tool for company owners and managers to eliminating negative emotions and evoking positive emotions in employees during the process of implementation and enforcement of controlling into the enterprise, ensuring that this tool is fully functional and, accepted by all internal interest groups.

The Given

This paper investigates the mediating influence of culture on emotions evoked by visual stimuli. It explores differences between Russians and Azerbaijanis in assessment of emotionally charged photos. The stimuli came from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Having seen photos of objects and situations on their screens, the respondents assessed their emotional response to the stimuli by the valence scale (positive/negative), activation scale (stimulating/soothing) and dominance scale. Both samples showed no difference in the general direction of the given scores. This may speak about universality of emotions evoked in response to emotionally charged images. However, quantitative properties of the given answers also showed several significative differences between the Azerbaijani sample and the Russian one. The Azerbaijani scores of emotional experience valence are polarized, i.e., Azerbaijanis assess negative emotions as more negative and positive emotions as more positive. The Russian sample gravitated towards mean scores. The Russian sample overrated the activating effect of stimuli that invoked negative emotions. The Azerbaijani sample was significantly more restrained in assessing this effect. In addition, Azerbaijani respondents unlike Russian respondents assessed emotions invoked as a response to negative images as more controlled. The results of the study indicate a cultural contribution to the level of the emotive impact as well as to the cognitive processing character of this impact.

The Given

Forming tasks in Sheet Metal Prototyping are currently a balancing act between part flexibility and accuracy. In view of Asymmetric Incremental Sheet Forming (AISF), the part support is the decisive factor: Die-based processes such as TPIF are restricted to the given geometry of the part. On the other hand, the die-less variant (SPIF) is prone to a much more complex process-layout – once a similar accuracy needs to be obtained. Consequently, this requires a flexible die concept, supporting the part in the critical zones only. Within this article we meet this challenge by introducing the configurable tooling concept "FlexDie". This support tool comprises a construction kit for skeleton dies allowing for an adjustment of its geometry to almost any desired shape. Based on the solar cooker benchmark by Jeswiet et al., we show both the tooling-concept and the feasibility. The latter we discuss, based on the quality features geometric accuracy as well as surface quality. Both features are assessed with respect to the forming results obtained by use of a full-die. The accuracy resulting by applying the FlexDie is only slightly inferior to the parts formed by use of a full-die. However, the FlexDie allows for simple optimization of both, die and part geometry. In addition, compensation strategies by adapting the toolpath are still possible. In summary, the results show the feasibility of the FlexDie concept for industrial ISF tasks - even at very low production volumes.

The Relationship

This paper analyzes the effect of the existence or not of failures, as well as the response of retailers to an eventual failure, influences the emotions developed by research shoppers. The empirical research is based on a survey with a sample of 636 mobile phone users. The results derived from the application of a structural equations model indicate that research shoppers develop more intense positive emotions when they do not have any complain with the retailers or if they solved the failure satisfactorily. Likewise, the relationship between research shoppers and the development of negative emotions is less intense when customers do not have any complain with the retailer or the company has solved the failure satisfactorily.

The article shows the results of a theoretical and experimental research on the study of an unconscious attitude at school age. The given data shows that educational activities and systematic long-term sports activities at school age improve the process of differentiation of the subject’s attitude, transforming a static attitude into a dynamic one. An unconscious attitude, acting as a psychological determinant, affects the success of educational activities and the sportsmanship of athletes and schoolchildren. Formed psychological determinants of the unconscious sphere in the development of the personality of schoolchildren, act as psychological factors and conditions (independent variable) that affect the success of educational activities and sportsmanship.

Abstract. Not all group memberships are self-chosen. The current research examines whether assignments to non-preferred groups influence our relationship with the group and our preference for information about the ingroup. It was expected and found that, when people are assigned to non-preferred groups, they perceive the group as different to the self, experience negative emotions about the assignment and in turn disidentify with the group. On the other hand, when people are assigned to preferred groups, they perceive the group as similar to the self, experience positive emotions about the assignment and in turn identify with the group. Finally, disidentification increases a preference for negative information about the ingroup.

When the Gothic War began in Italy in 535, the country still conserved many features of classical culture and late antique administration. Much of that was lost in the political upheavals of the following decades. Building on Chris Wickham’s work, this contribution sketches an integrated perspective of these changes, attempting to relate the contingency of events to the logic of long-term change, discussing political options in relation to military and economic means, and asking in what ways the erosion of consensus may be understood in a cultural and religious context. What was the role of military entrepreneurs of more or less barbarian or Roman extraction in the distribution or destruction of resources? How did Christianity contribute to the transformation of ancient society? The old model of barbarian invasions can contribute little to understanding this complex process. It is remarkable that for two generations, all political strategies in Italy ultimately failed.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe form of personality pathology characterized by high levels of negative emotionality. Because negative emotions are so central to the clinical presentation of BPD, the issue of how people with this disorder process and experience positive emotional experiences is relatively unexplored. This chapter provides an overview of what is currently known about positive emotions and BPD. Although the literature is characterized by many inconsistencies, our review suggests that people with BPD do indeed experience positive emotions. However, their recall of positive emotional experiences appears to be reduced, perhaps because such experiences are more transient, less stable, and more likely to be quickly replaced by negative emotions. Problems with the identification and accurate differentiation of positive emotions may also play a role. Such difficulties may conspire to create a psychological world for people with BPD that is characterized by a focus on negative mood and negative emotional experiences. In addition to focusing on negative affect, we suggest that it might also be clinically beneficial to make problems with positive affect a specific clinical target.

Positive emotions include pleasant or desirable situational responses, ranging from interest and contentment to love and joy, but are distinct from pleasurable sensation and undifferentiated positive affect. These emotions are markers of people's overall well-being or happiness, but they also enhance future growth and success. This has been demonstrated in work, school, relationships, mental and physical health, and longevity. The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions suggests that all positive emotions lead to broadened repertoires of thoughts and actions and that broadening helps build resources that contribute to future success. Unlike negative emotions, which are adapted to provide a rapid response to a focal threat, positive emotions occur in safe or controllable situations and lead more diffusely to seeking new resources or consolidating gains. These resources outlast the temporary emotional state and contribute to later success and survival. This chapter discusses the nature of positive emotions both as evolutionary adaptations to build resources and as appraisals of a situation as desirable or rich in resources. We discuss the methodological challenges of evoking positive emotions for study both in the lab and in the field and issues in observing both short-term (“broaden”) and long-term (“build”) effects. We then review the evidence that positive emotions broaden perception, attention, motivation, reasoning, and social cognition and ways in which these may be linked to positive emotions' effects on important life outcomes. We also discuss and contextualize evidence that positive emotions may be detrimental at very high levels or in certain situations. We close by discussing ways in which positive emotions theory can be harnessed by both basic and applied positive psychology research.

Effects Of Aging

AbstractAge-related differences in emotion recognition have predominantly been investigated using static pictures of facial expressions, and positive emotions beyond happiness have rarely been included. The current study instead used dynamic facial and vocal stimuli, and included a wider than usual range of positive emotions. In Task 1, younger and older adults were tested for their abilities to recognize 12 emotions from brief video recordings presented in visual, auditory, and multimodal blocks. Task 2 assessed recognition of 18 emotions conveyed by non-linguistic vocalizations (e.g., laughter, sobs, and sighs). Results from both tasks showed that younger adults had significantly higher overall recognition rates than older adults. In Task 1, significant group differences (younger > older) were only observed for the auditory block (across all emotions), and for expressions of anger, irritation, and relief (across all presentation blocks). In Task 2, significant group differences were observed for 6 out of 9 positive, and 8 out of 9 negative emotions. Overall, results indicate that recognition of both positive and negative emotions show age-related differences. This suggests that the age-related positivity effect in emotion recognition may become less evident when dynamic emotional stimuli are used and happiness is not the only positive emotion under study.
