Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love02:15

Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

45.9K
We typically love the people with whom we form relationships, but the type of love we have for our family, friends, and lovers differs. Robert Sternberg (1986) proposed that there are three components of love: intimacy, passion, and commitment. These three components form a triangle that defines multiple types of love: this is known as Sternberg’s triangular theory of love. Intimacy is the sharing of details and intimate thoughts and emotions. Passion is the physical attraction—the...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.9K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Impulse01:13

Impulse

21.7K
According to Newton’s second law of motion, the rate of change of the momentum of an object is the net external force acting on it. The total change in momentum between two timepoints thus depends on both the external force acting on it and the time over which it acts. Describing this mathematically, the total change of an object’s motion is proportional to the force vector and the time over which it is applied. This product is called impulse.
Additionally, it can be shown that the...

Impulse Response01:17

Impulse Response

774
The impulse response is the system's reaction to an input impulse. In an RC circuit, the voltage source is the input, and the capacitor's voltage is the output. The system's state and output response before and after input excitation are distinctly defined.
Kirchhoff's law forms an input signal equation, with the capacitor's current and voltage providing the output. Substituting the current and dividing by RC yields a differential equation. The output for an impulse input is the impulse...

Reinforcement01:23

Reinforcement

960
Positive and negative reinforcement are key concepts in operant conditioning, a learning process where the consequences of a behavior affect the likelihood of that behavior being repeated.
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:

Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

17.3K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.
Conductor, Semiconductor,...

Area of Science:

  • Comparative Psychology
  • Animal Behavior
  • Personality Research

Background:

  • Trait impulsivity is a key area in human and animal personality research.
  • Similarities exist in behavioral, genetic, and neurobiological aspects of impulsivity between dogs and humans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the convergence between the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) and the Dog Impulsivity Assessment Scale (DIAS).
  • To explore the utility of personality models in understanding dog behavior problems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized owner-reported data on the DIAS, a modified RST scale for dogs, and common dog behavior problems.
  • Analyzed data from a sample of 730 dogs.

Main Results:

  • Observed convergence between RST and DIAS, with negative correlation between RST 'Behaviour Inhibition System' and DIAS 'Behavioural Regulation'.
  • RST 'Behavioural Approach System' positively correlated with DIAS 'Responsiveness'.
  • RST 'Fight-Flight-Freeze System' (FFFS) and DIAS 'Aggression and response to novelty' were distinct but explained different aspects of behavior problems, with FFFS distinguishing active/passive avoidance.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest partial overlap between DIAS and RST scales.
  • Highlights the utility of personality models, like RST and DIAS, for investigating canine behavior problems.
