The Influence of Affect on Cognition

285
Positive affect significantly influences cognitive processes, including evaluation, memory, creativity, and social judgments. Compared to negative affect, positive emotional states promote more favorable interpretations of stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and heuristic processing. These effects highlight emotions' powerful role in shaping how individuals perceive, remember, and interact with the world.Influence on Evaluation and AttributionWhen individuals experience positive affect, they are...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

215
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach01:25

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach

2.3K
The gastric glands contain parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. The cells secrete HCl because it is highly corrosive and essential for breaking down food. To achieve this, they secrete hydrogen and chloride ions into the lumen of the gastric glands, which combine to form HCl.
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Occupational Health
  • Mindfulness Studies

Background:

  • Mindfulness-based programs effectively reduce workplace stress.
  • Online delivery and physiological measures are under-explored in stress reduction research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of an 8-week online mindfulness program on psychological and physiological stress indicators.
  • To evaluate both short-term and enduring effects of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • 22 participants completed an 8-week online mindfulness program.
  • Assessed short-term mood, anxiety, and salivary alpha amylase (sAA) pre/post sessions.
  • Measured workplace stress, over-commitment, work engagement, dispositional mindfulness, and personal resources pre/post intervention.
  • Collected saliva samples for cortisol awakening response, sAA, and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) analysis.

Main Results:

  • Online mindfulness induced short-term improvements in employee fatigue and anxiety.
  • Observed significant decreases in over-commitment.
  • Reported increases in optimism and mucosal immunity (sIgA).

Conclusions:

  • Online mindfulness-based programs are effective for reducing psychological stress and improving well-being in employees.
  • The intervention shows potential for enhancing both mental health and physiological markers of health.
  • This study highlights the utility of online delivery and physiological measures in mindfulness research.
