Contemporary Psychology

2.2K
Psychology explores human behavior and mental processes through various lenses, each offering unique insights. This overview examines key subfields, including biopsychology, evolutionary, developmental, personality, and social psychology, highlighting their approaches and contributions to understanding complex human behaviors.
Biopsychology
Biopsychology, also known as biological psychology or behavioral neuroscience, focuses on the biological underpinnings of behavior and mental processes. It...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.6K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.4K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

4.0K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Movement Joints in Buildings

343
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria01:10

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

3.5K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Summary

Audience engagement in live performances is signaled by stillness, not movement. Researchers found that less audience movement, particularly in the hands, indicates higher engagement with the performance.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Performance Studies
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Live performances offer limited audience response channels beyond overt actions like applause.
  • Subtle, incidental movements may reflect audience engagement levels.
  • Understanding audience responses is crucial for live performer feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between audience movement and engagement in live contemporary dance.
  • To determine if subtle audience movements provide insights into performance reception.
  • To explore the role of bi-directional communication in live performance.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of video recordings of audiences during four live contemporary dance performances.
  • Utilized computer vision techniques to extract face, hand, and body movement data.
  • Compared audience movement in high and low engagement clips with expert and novice judges.

Main Results:

  • Audience clips with the lowest overall movement were judged as demonstrating the highest engagement.
  • No systematic relationship was found between audience and dancer movement.
  • Hands exhibited significantly more movement compared to the rest of the body.

Conclusions:

  • Collective stillness is a key indicator of audience engagement in live performances.
  • Audience movement, especially hand movements, offers insights into engagement levels.
  • This research contributes to understanding audience-performer communication dynamics.
