This study evaluated the widely-held assumption that social evaluations (and especially negative feedback) are infrequent in daily interactions. Whereas previous investigations have asked about evaluative interactions using a one-sitting questionnaire format, this research requested undergraduates to self-observe, in a structured way, five different hours of social interaction and to report on sources and content of social feedback. Instances of evaluation were counted and judged as being positive or negative feedback. Participants reported an average of 2.6 evaluations per rated hour of interaction. Of the reports that were clearly classifiable as positive or negative feedback, an average of 61.4% were rated as positive. Students living at home with family members reported fewer instances of positive feedback (51.3%) than those living away from home (70.1%), and family members gave positive evaluations more infrequently (39.1%) than did friends (64.6%) and all other evaluators (66.2%). Limitations and implications of these findings are discussed briefly.

AbstractBackgroundInterpersonal difficulties in borderline personality disorder (BPD) could be related to the disturbed self-views of BPD patients. This study investigates affective and neural responses to positive and negative social feedback (SF) of BPD patients compared with healthy (HC) and low self-esteem (LSE) controls and how this relates to individual self-views.MethodsBPD (N = 26), HC (N = 32), and LSE (N = 22) performed a SF task in a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Participants received 15 negative, intermediate and positive evaluative feedback words putatively given by another participant and rated their mood and applicability of the words to the self.ResultsBPD had more negative self-views than HC and felt worse after negative feedback. Applicability of feedback was a less strong determinant of mood in BPD than HC. Increased precuneus activation was observed in HC to negative compared with positive feedback, whereas in BPD, this was similarly low for both valences. HC showed increased temporoparietal junction (TPJ) activation to positive v. negative feedback, while BPD showed more TPJ activation to negative feedback. The LSE group showed a different pattern of results suggesting that LSE cannot explain these findings in BPD.ConclusionsThe negative self-views that BPD have, may obstruct critically examining negative feedback, resulting in lower mood. Moreover, where HC focus on the positive feedback (based on TPJ activation), BPD seem to focus more on negative feedback, potentially maintaining negative self-views. Better balanced self-views may make BPD better equipped to deal with potential negative feedback and more open to positive interactions.

People learn about themselves from social feedback, but desires for coherence and positivity constrain how feedback is incorporated into the self-concept. We develop a network-based model of the self-concept and embed it in a reinforcement learning framework to provide a mechanistic account of how motivations shape self-learning from feedback. Participants (n = 46) received feedback while self-evaluating on traits drawn from a causal network of trait semantics. Network-defined communities were assigned different likelihoods of positive feedback. Participants learned from positive feedback but dismissed negative feedback, as reflected by asymmetries in computational parameters that represent the incorporation of positive versus negative outcomes. Furthermore, participants were constrained in how they incorporated feedback: self-evaluations changed less for traits more important to coherence of the network. We provide a mechanistic explanation of how motives for coherence and positivity jointly constrain learning about the self from feedback that makes testable predictions for future clinical research.

Abstract Consistent inter-individual variation in behaviour within a population, widely referred to as personality variation, can be affected by environmental context. Feedbacks between an individual’s behaviour and state can strengthen (positive feedback) or weaken (negative feedback) individual differences when experiences such as predator encounters or winning contests are dependent on behavioural type. We examined the influence of foraging on individual-level consistency in refuge use (a measure of risk-taking, i.e. boldness) in three-spined sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus, and particularly whether changes in refuge use depended on boldness measured under control conditions. In the control treatment trials with no food, individuals were repeatable in refuge use across repeated trials, and this behavioural consistency did not differ between the start and end of these trials. In contrast, when food was available, individuals showed a higher degree of consistency in refuge use at the start of the trials versus controls but this consistency significantly reduced by the end of the trials. The effect of the opportunity to forage was dependent on behavioural type, with bolder fish varying more in their refuge use between the start and the end of the feeding trials than shyer fish, and boldness positively predicted the likelihood of feeding at the start but not at the end of the trials. This suggests a state-behaviour feedback, but there was no overall trend in how bolder individuals changed their behaviour. Our study shows that personality variation can be suppressed in foraging contexts and a potential but unpredictable role of feedbacks between state and behaviour. Significance statement In this experimental study, we examined how foraging influences consistency in risk-taking in individual three-spined sticklebacks. We show that bolder individuals become less consistent in their risk-taking behaviour than shyer individuals during foraging. Some bolder individuals reinforce their risk-taking behaviour, suggesting a positive feedback between state and behaviour, while others converge on the behaviour of shyer individuals, suggesting a negative feedback. In support of a role of satiation in driving negative feedback effects, we found that bolder individuals were more likely to feed at the start but not at the end of the trials. Overall, our findings suggest that foraging can influence personality variation in risk-taking behaviour; however, the role of feedbacks may be unpredictable.

AbstractThis study discusses the trading behavior of foreign investors with respect to economic uncertainty in the South Korean stock market from a time-varying perspective. We employ a news-based measure of economic uncertainty along with the model of time-varying parameter vector autoregression with stochastic volatility. The empirical analysis reveals several new findings about foreign investors’ trading behaviors. First, we find evidence that positive feedback trading often appears during periods of high economic uncertainty, whereas negative feedback trading is exclusively observable during periods of low economic uncertainty. Second, the foreign investors’ feedback trading appears mostly to be well-timed and often leads the time-varying economic uncertainty except in periods of global crises. Third, lagged negative (positive) response of net flows to economic uncertainty is found to be coupled with lagged positive (negative) feedback trading. Fourth, the study documents an asymmetric response of foreign investors with regard to negative and positive shocks of economic uncertainty. Specifically, we find that they instantly turn to positive feedback trading after a negative contemporaneous response of net flows to shocks of economic uncertainty. In contrast, they move slowly toward negative feedback trading after a positive response of net flows to uncertainty shocks.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background The client"s condition for heart failure requires environmental support to be able to be confident and able to carry out activities according to the directions given while the patient is undergoing treatment in the hospital, but sometimes in the client"s time period at home there will be situations where patients may experience complaints or changes in conditions that can affect his cardiovascular status. Purpose this study is conducted to identify psychological and social problems and needs of heart failure clients with a qualitative approach of observation, invite individuals or families to participate, motivate individuals to develop the potential to maintain optimal health. In addition, this study was conducted to assess the need and effectiveness of the practice of consulting for heart failure nursing in hospital outpatients Method qualitative observation approach in nursing consulting practice using steps of the nursing process consisting of an assessment of physical, psychological and social conditions and client needs, formulating problems, making plans and taking care of actions in accordance with the problems that exist by nurses in the outpatient clinic at home sick. Results Clients who came to the outpatient clinic had various  psychological and social problems. From the observations and interviews it was found that psychological and social problems were the most common causes. Psychosocial problems arise due to the client himself, life companion (husband or wife) and family members who live together. So that the family system to support clients with heart failure is not awakened. Health education and promotion to clients, life companions, and family members of heart failure clients who live at home are needed when the client controls health to maintain the client"s health support system while at home. All clients and families in this study stated that the practice of nursing consultations in hospital outpatients is very helpful for clients and families to improve the situation they face. Conclusion the practice of nursing consultations can identify the problems and needs of clients and families. Strengthening the client support system for heart failure at home is needed so that psychological and social problems can be reduced when the client is in the family environment. Nursing consultation practices at outpatient hospitals are needed to help motivate clients and families in maintaining and increasing care and support for clients who suffer from heart failure while at home. Psychosocial problems The client felt anxious, lack of attention, complained sleeping difficulty, often forgot taking medicine, and forgot managing fluid intakeThe client,while at home, was fastidious and wanted to many, was difficult to be told or managed, was always suspicious with their spouse"s activity easily got angry or temperamental, the client"s child felt annoyed because the client acted annoying, the client"s spouse felt annoyed because the client was impatient and temperamentalPsychological, and social problems in heart failure patients

SUMMARY The influence that the interruption of the neural afferents to the hypothalamus exerts on ovulation and on the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) was studied in the rat. Animals with retrochiasmatic sections interrupting the neural connexions between the medial hypothalamus and the preoptic area (POA) showed constant oestrus and failed to ovulate. Animals in which the dorsal neural afferents to the POA were transected had oestrous cycles and ovulated normally. The positive feedback effect of progesterone on LH release in spayed animals primed either with 20 μg. oestradiol benzoate or 2·5 mg. testosterone propionate 3 days before was studied. Transection of the dorsal afferents to the POA favoured an increase in plasma LH, but in animals with retrochiasmatic sections the response was abolished. However, the negative feedback effect of ovarian steroids operated after both types of transection because an increase in plasma LH occurred after ovariectomy. It is concluded that the negative feedback effect of ovarian steroids acts on the medial hypothalamus which can maintain a tonic release of gonadotrophins in the absence of steroids. In contrast, the POA involved in the positive feedback effect of progesterone is concerned with the phasic release of LH.

SUMMARY The effect on thyroid activity of a systemically ineffective dose of thyroxine (T4) implanted in the hypothalamus or pituitary of goldfish was tested. Thyroid activity was decreased by T4 implantation in either location, indicating that T4 has a negative feedback effect on the pituitary causing a decrease in thyrotrophin secretion, and a positive feedback effect on the hypothalamus stimulating the secretion of thyrotrophin inhibitory factor (TIF). Fish with a T4 or blank-control implant in the pituitary that had a damaged pituitary stalk, as a result of the operative procedures, were hyperthyroid, suggesting either that TIF is more effective in suppressing thyrotroph activity than T4 and that the effect of T4 was masked by the absence of TIF, or, less likely, that T4 negative feedback in the pituitary is not effective independent of TIF. The results were compared with the information about T4 feedback in mammals.

The presence of family members who smoke in the house is one of the causal factors of health problems in the respiratory system, especially pneumonia among children. This study was aimed to determine the correlation between smoking habits at home and the incidence of pneumonia among children aged 1-4 years. This was an analytic study with cross sectional approach. The population of this study were family members who had children aged 1-4 years with pneumonia as many as 110 people. The number of samples was taken through the Slovin sample size formula totally 86 respondents and the determination of the samples used Accidental Sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed statistically using the Chis Square test. Based on the results of statistical tests, it was revealed that of 86 respondents, 52 people (60.47%) had the presence of people who smoked in the house while 34 (39.53%) did not have had the presence of people who smoked in the house.  75 respondents (87.21%) had pneumonia, 7 people experienced severe pneumonia (8.14%) and 4 people experienced very severe pneumonia (4.63%). Chi Square test results obtained a P value=0.016 (<0.05), which meant that there is a relationship between smoking habit at home and the incidence of pneumonia among children aged 1-4 years. Keywords: Smoking habit; pneumonia; children
