Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

35.9K
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...

Reasoning01:30

Reasoning

248
Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way. It is integral to problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Reasoning can be inductive or deductive. Reasoning involves transforming information into conclusions, which is essential for problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking.
Inductive reasoning involves deriving generalizations from specific observations. This type of reasoning helps form beliefs about the world. For example,...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay

11.2K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

Continuity Equation

The total amount of current flowing per unit cross-sectional area is called the current density. Hence, the current passing through a cross-sectional area can be written as the surface integral of the current density.

Continuity Equation

The continuity equation asserts that the mass flow rate must remain constant for a steady flow of an incompressible fluid within a confined system. This principle applies to systems where fluid passes through varying cross-sectional areas, such as nozzles, syringes, and pipes.
The mass flow rate is expressed as:

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Epistemic emotions, such as awe and wonder, arise from situations where individuals perceive a lack of understanding or control over their environment.
  • Previous research has largely focused on the positive outcomes associated with these emotions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the underexplored destructive consequences of epistemic emotions.
  • To identify the specific conditions that foster positive individual and societal outcomes from these emotional states.

Main Methods:

  • This study is primarily theoretical, involving a critical review of existing literature on epistemic emotions.
  • It synthesizes findings from psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience to frame the problem.

Main Results:

  • The potentially detrimental effects of epistemic emotions, such as paralysis or maladaptive beliefs, have been largely overlooked.
  • A clear gap exists in understanding the boundary conditions for the beneficial versus destructive influence of these emotions.

Conclusions:

  • The positive framing of epistemic emotions is incomplete and potentially misleading.
  • Specifying the conditions under which epistemic emotions promote well-being and societal flourishing is a critical area for future research.
