Relationship Formation02:12

Relationship Formation

45.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Cognitive Dissonance

36.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Ending Relationships01:28

Ending Relationships

174
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Mohr's Circle for Moments of Inertia: Problem Solving01:14

Mohr's Circle for Moments of Inertia: Problem Solving

3.2K
Mohr's circle is a graphical method for determining an area's principal moments by plotting the moments and product of inertia on a rectangular coordinate system. This circle can also be used to calculate the orientation of the principal axes.
Consider a rectangular beam. The moments of inertia of the beam about the x and y axis are 2.5(107) mm4 and 7.5(107) mm4, respectively. The product of inertia is 1.5(107) mm4. Determine the principal moments of inertia and the orientation of the major and...

Mohr's Circle for Plane Stress

1.2K
Mohr's circle is a graphical method for identifying the state of stress at a point in a material, making it easier to analyze stress transformations under plane stress conditions. This two-dimensional technique visualizes both normal and shearing stresses on an element.
Consider a set of Cartesian coordinates. The horizontal and vertical axes correspond to normal stress (σ) and shearing stress (τ), respectively. Two points, points A and B, are defined by the normal and shear...

Mohr's Circle for Plane Strain

1.2K
Mohr's circle is a crucial graphical method used to analyze plane strain by plotting strain on a set of cartesian coordinates, where the abscissa is normal strain ∈ and the ordinate is shear strain γ. Similarly to Mohr’s circle for plane stress, two points X and Y are plotted. Their coordinates are (∈x, -γXY) and (∈Y, γXY), respectively.
Mohr's circle visually represents the strain states under various conditions, which is essential for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Regular physical activity (PA) enhances executive functions (EFs) and effortful control. Improved EFs and control, in turn, boost adherence to PA, creating a positive cycle for mental and brain health.

Area of Science:

  • Health Psychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Two distinct research areas exist: exercise and cognition (focusing on executive functions - EFs) and physical activity (PA) adherence.
  • Recent research highlights a strong link between EFs, effortful control, and the bidirectional relationship between PA and mental/brain health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the virtuous circle between regular physical activity (PA) and effortful control.
  • To support the hypothesis that PA and effortful control mutually enhance each other.

Main Methods:

  • Review of empirical studies in exercise psychology and health psychology.
  • Theoretical integration of findings on chronic exercise, executive functions, and physical activity adherence.

Main Results:

  • Chronic exercise improves executive functions (EFs) and effortful control.
  • Enhanced EFs and effortful control facilitate long-term adherence to physical activity (PA).

Conclusions:

  • A bidirectional relationship exists between engaging in effortful physical activity (PA) and improved executive functions (EFs) and effortful control.
  • This positive feedback loop, or virtuous circle, benefits mental and brain health.
  • The article discusses limitations and future perspectives on this effort hypothesis.
