Non-Marital Romantic Relationship Commitment And Leave Behavior: The Mediating Role Of Dissolution Consideration, Laura E Vanderdrift, Christopher Agnew, Juan E. Wilson Jan 2009

Non-Marital Romantic Relationship Commitment And Leave Behavior: The Mediating Role Of Dissolution Consideration, Laura E Vanderdrift, Christopher Agnew, Juan E. Wilson

Department of Psychological Sciences Faculty Publications

Two studies investigated the process by which individuals in non-marital romantic relationships characterized by low commitment move toward enacting leave behaviors. Predictions based on the behavioral, goal, and implementation intention literatures were tested using a measure of dissolution consideration developed for this research. Dissolution consideration assesses how salient relationship termination is for an individual while one’s relationship is intact. Study 1 developed and validated a measure of dissolution consideration and Study 2 was a longitudinal test of the utility of dissolution consideration in predicting the enactment of leave behaviors. Results indicated that dissolution consideration mediates the association between commitment and …

Extensive Training Is Insufficient To Produce The Work-Ethic Effect In Pigeons, Marco Vasconcelos, Peter J. Urcuioli Jan 2009

Extensive Training Is Insufficient To Produce The Work-Ethic Effect In Pigeons, Marco Vasconcelos, Peter J. Urcuioli

Department of Psychological Sciences Faculty Publications

Zentall and Singer (2007a) hypothesized that our failure to replicate the work-ethic effect in pigeons (Vasconcelos, Urcuioli, & Lionello-DeNolf, 2007) was due to insufficient overtraining following acquisition of the high- and low-effort discriminations. We tested this hypothesis using the original work-ethic procedure (Experiment 1) and one similar to that used with starlings (Experiment 2) by providing at least 60 overtraining sessions. Despite this extensive overtraining, neither experiment revealed a significant preference for stimuli obtained after high effort. Together with other findings, these data support our contention that pigeons do not reliably show a work-ethic effect.


Satisfaction, Alternatives, Investments And The Microfoundations Of Audience Cost Models, Aaron M. Hoffman, Christopher Agnew, Justin Lehmiller, Natasha T. Duncan Jan 2009

Satisfaction, Alternatives, Investments And The Microfoundations Of Audience Cost Models, Aaron M. Hoffman, Christopher Agnew, Justin Lehmiller, Natasha T. Duncan

Department of Psychological Sciences Faculty Publications

In this paper, we suggest that the Investment Model of Commitment, developed in social psychology, offers a solution to an important microfoundational issue in audience cost theory. Audience cost models are useful for thinking about the foreign policy behaviors of democratic and non-democratic states. However, they often assume that citizens reliably penalize leaders who break their foreign policy promises even though the empirical record suggests this is not always the case. We argue that public commitment to foreign policy assets and relationships is a precondition for the application of audience costs. Using the U.N. and NATO as case studies, we …

Metamorphosing Worlds In The Cinema Of The Fantastic, Juan González Etxeberria Dec 2008

Metamorphosing Worlds In The Cinema Of The Fantastic, Juan González Etxeberria

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Metamorphosing Worlds in the Cinema of the Fantastic" Juan González Etxeberria reads fantastic films as appealing products of both unconscious psychological and institutionalized sociological anxieties. A result of the binary opposition of rhetorical strategies that shaped modern culture, the genre is an open door to other worlds where to dream of uncertainties and to indulge in our traumas. Its transgressive indeterminacy against the Cartesian system is traced from the origin of creative filmic language to postmodern disturbing fantasies about the unknown, having social control and individual free will as the only limits of its imaginary trips across …

The Posthuman Ethos In Cyberpunk Science Fiction, María Goicoechea Dec 2008

The Posthuman Ethos In Cyberpunk Science Fiction, María Goicoechea

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "The Posthuman Ethos in Cyberpunk Science Fiction" María Goicoechea explores the posthuman tendencies of Anglo-American popular culture as they are manifested in the representations of the cyborgs, clones, and artificial intelligences that populate cyberpunk science fiction. Choosing the figure of the cyborg as the central myth of cyberculture, Goicoechea exposes the underlying tensions and contradictions present in cyberpunk prescient visions of humanity's evolution. Goicoechea reviews the variety of contradictory meanings that have been sedimented over this hybrid creature, using as ideological framework the digital narratives of "Technoromanticism" and "Cybergothic," respectively the dominant and the countercultural trend inside …
