How Moderate Alcohol Consumption Impacts Married or Cohabiting Couples in Expressing Disagreements: An Automatic
Abstract:
Alcohol consumption is common in married/cohabiting couples, and many studies have attempted to understand its effects on their behavior patterns. Traditionally, those evaluations have been done through questionnaires and self-reports. While these approaches have unique contributions, they cannot track instantaneous behavioral changes, such as when a person shows disagreement, and are subjective to personal bias. Hence, we developed a computation model to automatically and objectively quantify instantaneous non-verbal disagreement expressed by head shakings and the corresponding following behavior. We conducted a preliminary analysis based on data from a randomized controlled experiment, where married/cohabiting couples discussed conflicts in different alcohol consumption conditions. Results showed that participants demonstrated different behavioral patterns in expressing moderate and strong disagreement. In addition, alcohol influenced males' head-shaking magnitude and females' following behavior more than their partners'. The proposed method is general and can be extended to investigate other behavioral cues.

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems...
