Peoples moods can influence moral judgment. Such influences may arise because moods affect moral emotion, or because moods affect moral thought. The present study provides evidence that, at least in the footbridge dilemma, moods affect moral thought. The results of two experiments are reported in which, after induction of positive, negative, or neutral moods and presentation of the footbridge scenario, participants were asked one of two differentially framed closing questions. In the active frame, participants were asked whether they would be active and push the man, making thoughts about pushing accessible; in the passive frame, they were asked whether they would be passive and not push the man, making thoughts about not pushing accessible. The results show that affective influences on moral judgment depended on participants decision frame. Compared to neutral moods, positive moods induced utilitarian responding--i.e., deciding to push--in the active decision frame, but induced

Downloadable! Recent research has emphasized emotions role in non-utilitarian judgments, but has not focused much on characteristics of subjects contributing to those judgments. The present article relates utilitarian judgment to individual disposition to experience various emotions. Study 1 first investigated the relationship among state emotions and utilitarian judgment. Diverse emotions were elicited during judgment: guilt, sadness, disgust, empathy, anger, and anxiety, etc. Using psychological scales, Study 2 found that trait emotions predict the extent of utilitarian judgments, especially trait anger, trait disgust, and trait empathy. Unlike previous research that designated emotions only as factors mitigating utilitarian judgment, this research shows that trait anger correlates positively with utilitarian judgment. On the other hand, disgust and empathy correlated negatively. Guilt and shame---though previous research argued that their absence increased utilitarian judgment---appear unrelated to

I recently moved from the quiet of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the high paced, traffic intense, N.VA area. Ive been aware of my judgments since landing. To help ground me during this transition, Ive taken 3 yoga classes, all different from the style Im used to. Ive been aware of my judgments during these yoga classes- they play music here (darn), they have mirrors on the wall (uggh), they have hard wood floors (ouch). The yoga classes have been a good way for me to bring my awareness to my judgments. Its a safe place to allow my judgments to surface so I can be aware of them and then (hopefully) let them go.. Ive also been aware of some of my judgments as my partner and I move my things to make a new home. I dont like my dresser there, my meditation area is too small, the dishes are too high in the cabinet, there are too many nick-nacks in the living room. Other judgments are less conscious and Im only aware of them once my partner does something that makes it more noticeable.. I could ...

From colleagues at Jindal Global Law School in India, this Call for Participation:. The Feminist Judgment Project India imagines the possibilities of collaborative writing of alternate judgments for several Indian cases across a broad range of legal issues having a significant bearing on women. At the heart of the project are a set of basic questions-can one formulate a distinctively feminist judicial practice? If so, what are the limitations to that approach? In what manner does this approach differ from the common law approach the court takes? Neither the practice of academic rewriting of judgment is new, nor is specifically the practice of feminist rewriting of judgments. The Feminist Judgment Project India borrows from the sister projects in Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and USA where feminist academics, lawyers, activists have written alternate versions of judgments originally authored by judges. * * *. The India project too will serve as a shadow judgment writing project by ...

The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled in a Story County case that a deferred judgment is considered a conviction. Deng Kon Tong pled guilty to a felony second-degree burglary charge in February of 2009, and was given a deferred judgment and three years probation.. The deferred judgment would give him the chance to wipe the charge from his record if he successfully completed the probation. In December of 2009 Tong was arrested carrying a sawed-off shotgun and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. A jury found him guilty of the firearm possession charge and he was sentenced to up to five years in jail.. Tong moved to have the firearm charge dismissed saying the deferred judgment on the burglary charge could not be considered a felony conviction. The district an appeals court ruled the deferred judgment could be considered a conviction on the felony charge.. The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that it believes the legislature intended a conviction to include a deferred judgment where the ...

Two leading questions can now be formulated. First, what bearing does the transcendental schematism of the categories have on the transcendental doctrine of the judgment? As we saw in passing in Section 1, schemata are products of the faculty of imagination, and more specifically, they are supplementary rules for interpreting general conceptual rules in terms of more specific figural spatiotemporal forms and sensory images. Schemata are needed by Kant in order to overcome two apparent gaps: an ontological gap between abstract universals and concrete particulars on the one hand, and a cognitive gap between concepts and intuitions on the other hand. This holds not only at the level of empirical judgment, where the cognitive gap is between the conceptual (attributive or descriptive) parts of the judgment on the one hand and the intuitional (directly referential) parts of the judgment on the other, but also at the transcendental level, where the gap is between pure concepts or categories on the one ...

Downloadable! A field study performed at the end of multiday hospital stays investigated trend effects on retrospective global judgments of emotions. Subjects (43 women and 50 men) reported instances of their positive and negative emotions, retrospective global judgments of these emotions, and satisfaction with hospital services. Retrospective global judgments of positive and negative emotions were a positive function of the increase or decrease of the instances of emotions over time. Consistent with predictions based on the literature on gender differences in information processing, mens retrospective judgments of positive emotions were highly sensitive to trend effects but no trend effect was found for negative emotions. In contrast, women demonstrated trend effects primarily in judgments of negative emotions. Trends in positive and negative emotions, however, did not significantly contribute to satisfaction judgements for men and women. Theoretical and managerial implications of the results are

Jesus spoke of the judgement day when he walked among men. He said Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of Judgement Matthew 12:36. He that rejecteth me and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day John 12:48. Jesus spoke of a day of judgement on the last day. He said that two kinds of words were important: what we say and what he said. We will be judged by his words and by our words. This means that we need to pay attention to what we say and to what he says in the Bible. But how can we be sure that there really will be a day of Judgement? We can be sure there is a judgement because he proved there would be a Judgement by his own resurrection from the dead. The apostle Paul said, God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world by righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained, whereof he hath given ...

Much recent research has sought to uncover the gender difference in neural mechanism of moral judgment; however, very few researches study the neural gender differences in a specific area of moral judgment. The aim of this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was to examine possible gender difference in neural response to (sexual) disgusting pictures versus neutral pictures. Seventeen participants (9 males) were scanned while viewing pictures of tactile intimacy in same-sex and being asked to evaluate whether the behaviors between the stimulus persons in the pictures were morally appropriate or not. Both the neural responses to pictures of tactile intimacy in same-sex between male participants and female participants and the neural response to pictures of male-male tactile intimacy and to pictures of female-female tactile intimacy were examined. The results showed that significantly increased differential activations to the disgusting pictures relative to the neutral pictures were observed

Why is this stuff important? First and foremost is that, in New York, interest doesnt start to run until there is a judgment (unlike many other states where interest runs from the date of the accident). With interest running, at a statutory rate of 9%, the defense benefits of stalling quickly exact a price for a tactic that shouldnt exist at all.. Summary judgment also potentially removes the need for an expert (depending on the facts).. Most importantly, though, it sharply delineates the issues that need to be resolved by a jury. If the liability of one side can be established as a matter of law, why should a trial take place on those issues? Why would a court want to further drag out and complicate the litigation?. The Second Department is arguing, wrongly I think, that in order to have summary judgment on liability in must be complete and total on all liability issues. But why should partial summary judgment on some liability issues not be available to litigants? Isnt it part of the ...

This work was originally issued as a two-volume set, published in 1987 and 1988. It constitutes the definitive presentation of the system of classifying moral judgment built up by Lawrence Kohlberg and his associates over a period of twenty years. Researchers in human development and education around the world, many of whom have worked with interim versions of the system - indeed, all those seriously interested in understanding the development of moral judgment - will find it a useful and accessible resource. Volume 1 reviews Kohlbergs stage theory, and the large body of research on the significance and utility of his moral stages. Issues of reliability and validity are addressed. The volume ends with detailed instructions for using the reference sections, which are presented in volume 2.

Abstract Abstract:. In short-fiction pieces by Raymond Carver, Jorge Luis Borges, and Nathan Englander we continually find characters telling stories in order to influence other characters moral judgment. Drawing on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, Paul Ricoeur, and Peter Goldie, I demonstrate how narration accomplishes such an impact on judgment by working through the functions of narrative identity, ultimately serving to direct our empathy and to complicate our application of principles. The stories here considered illustrate the centrality of narrative in moral reflection, in the sense that certain configurations of narrative may have the effect of unhinging our moral presumptions.. ...

Put generally: all judgements are relative to culture is a judgement, call it (J). We may now construct a dilemma: Is the truth of (J) relative to a culture? If the answer is yes, then, since (J) is relative to a culture, (J) is not universally or absolutely true. If it is not absolutely true that all judgements are relative to culture, the possibility that there are judgements true independently of culture is not closed and (J) may be absolutely true. If the answer is no, then (J) is a case of a true judgement not itself relative to culture. The existence of one case opens the possibility of a class of such judgements. Thus the very attempt to formulate (J) opens rather than closes what it tries to forbid. Thus cultural relativism fatally affects its own assertion: it cannot be coherently formulated. To say that values are relative to cultures confuses culture with value. Values are used to measure cultures, including the culture that gives birth to them. If values cannot transcend cultures ...

20-10-23 Epic Games Re... by Florian Mueller. In order to eliminate the risk of punitive damages, Epic seeks to limit the dispute with Apple to an antitrust case if Epic wins and a contract dispute in case Epics antitrust claims dont succeed. For that purpose, Epic brought a motion for judgment on the pleadings (somewhere between a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment) against Apples non-contract counterclaims, which Apple opposes. Late on Friday, Epic filed the above reply brief in support of that motion.. Philosophically, Epic Games v. Apple is in no small part about the relative value of the contribution each party makes to, for instance, Fortnites commercial success on iOS. While its obvious that there wouldnt be a Fortnite on iOS without Epic or without Apple, either partys counsel is now trying to convince the court that their respective client is the more important contributor. And that leads them to paint a self-centric picture.. Last month I agreed with famous and ...

Which rules for aggregating judgments on logically connected propositions are manipulable and which not? In this paper, we introduce a preference-free concept of non-manipulability and contrast it with a preference-theoretic concept of strategy-proofness. We characterize all non-manipulable and all strategy-proof judgment aggregation rules and prove an impossibility theorem similar to the Gibbard--Satterthwaite theorem. We also discuss weaker forms of non-manipulability and strategy-proofness. Comparing two frequently discussed aggregation rules, we show that conclusion-based voting is less vulnerable to manipulation than premise-based voting, which is strategy-proof only for reason-oriented individuals. Surprisingly, for outcome-oriented individuals, the two rules are strategically equivalent, generating identical judgments in equilibrium. Our results introduce game-theoretic considerations into judgment aggregation and have implications for debates on deliberative democracy.. ...

Pneumonia is often diagnosed and treated empirically. We set out to determine the diagnostic accuracy of clinical judgment based on signs and symptoms to detect radiographic pneumonia in patients presenting with acute cough in primary care. In 2810 European patients with acute cough, general practitioners (GPs) recorded whether they considered pneumonia to be present (yes or no) immediately after history and physical examination. Chest radiography was performed within 1 week by local radiologists blind to other patient characteristics. 140 patients had radiographic pneumonia (5%), of whom 41 (29%) had been diagnosed as such. 31 (1%) patients had a clinical diagnosis that was not confirmed by radiography (n=2670). In clinically suspected pneumonia, 57% of subjects were subsequently diagnosed with radiographic pneumonia. Negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity and specificity of GPs clinical judgment were 96%, 29% and 99%, respectively. Compared to patients with a clinical diagnosis of pneumonia

Queensland Law Society (QLS) is a party to protocols with all courts whereby the Society, on behalf of its members, can approach the court where there has been undue delay in delivering a judgment. For the Queensland courts there is a court protocol that reserved judgments should be delivered within three months.. An advantage of this process, over contacting the court yourself, is that the judge will not know which party has been chasing the judgment. The Supreme Court of Queensland has placed this notice on the Courts website.. For the Federal Circuit Court, where a reserved judgment has not been delivered within three months of the completed hearing or written submissions, represented parties may contact the President of the Society or the Bar Association of Queensland, who will write to the Chief Judge. Self-represented litigants should write directly to the Chief Judge.. QLS members will be assured of anonymity and the request will be treated in confidence. The Chief Judge will put in ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Teaching students to think like a paramedic: Improving professional judgement through assessment conversations. AU - Thompson, James. AU - Houston, Donald. AU - Dansie, Kathryn. PY - 2017. Y1 - 2017. N2 - Introduction The ability to self-assess is essential to the practitioner who often works independently, and reflective practice is entrenched within the paramedic process of care. In order to develop these practices a paramedic student must be able to self-identify mistakes and learn from their errors. However, student assessment has traditionally focused heavily on outcomes, with errors being penalised. Justification for traditional approaches to assessment of paramedic students acknowledges the potentially catastrophic consequences associated with mistakes being repeated in the real world out-of-hospital setting. Responding to the challenge of balancing the reflective practice skills set with real world implications of a paramedics mistakes, an assessment process was ...

The test list contained the original 80 words (targets) randomly intermixed with 16 additional new words (lures). Thus, we had a new/old ratio of 1:5, a ratio that allowed us to obtain a large number of trials of interest (cf. Smith et al., 2011). During test, each trial began with a 300-msec fixation cross, followed by the presentation of one word for 2 sec, after which a response prompt appeared (depicted in Figure 1), indicating the participants to report, using the computer keyboard, their recognition judgment (old/new) concurrently with their confidence level (for each response type, 1-4, where 1 = least confident responses and 4 = most confident responses; see Figure 1). If the participants made an old judgment, they were subsequently prompted to make an RKG judgment, as described by Gardiner and Parkin (1990). Note that participants were instructed to respond R only if their recognition judgment was accompanied by a subjective reexperiencing of context details from the study ...

Research into representation learning models of lexical semantics usually utilizes some form of intrinsic evaluation to ensure that the learned representations reflect human semantic judgments. Lexical semantic similarity estimation is a widely used evaluation method, but efforts have typically focused on pairwise judgments of words in isolation, or are limited to specific contexts and lexical stimuli. There are limitations with these approaches that either do not provide any context for judgments, and thereby ignore ambiguity, or provide very specific sentential contexts that cannot then be used to generate a larger lexical resource. Furthermore, similarity between more than two items is not considered. We provide a full description and analysis of our recently proposed methodology for large-scale data set construction that produces a semantic classification of a large sample of verbs in the first phase, as well as multi-way similarity judgments made within the resultant semantic classes in the ...

This week, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota issued a 39-page order granting summary judgment to the defense on loss causation grounds. On the basis of the courts loss causation analysis, the court dismissed all of the remaining claims in the case, which arose under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the 1934 Act. The Courts ruling is significant because it provides a thorough review of loss causation principles as they apply at the summary judgment stage, as opposed to the pleading stage.. Several aspects of the Retek ruling are important for securities litigators grappling with loss causation issues at the summary judgment and trial phase of a securities case.. First, the Retek decision contains a thorough review of the law pertaining to the true financial condition theory and other indirect disclosure theories that plaintiffs are increasingly relying upon at the pleading and summary judgment stages of securities class actions. The Retek court notes that many courts have ...

Many times, parties to a lawsuit receive trial court rulings in the midst of the litigation that are unfavorable, oppressive, and seem to them to be demonstrably wrong. The parties want to appeal immediately, but their counsel will say that cannot happen, citing the Final Judgment Rule. The rule certainly sounds dark and fateful. Perhaps courts intend it to be, because the rule serves to deter disgruntled litigants from appealing while the trial court case is ongoing, and typically requires those litigants to wait months, or even years, to appeal. So what is this rule? And perhaps more importantly, what are ways to gain access to an appellate court early without offending it?. The Final Judgment Rule (sometimes called the One Final Judgment Rule) is the legal principle that appellate courts will only hear appeals from the final judgment in a case. A plaintiff or defendant cannot appeal rulings of the trial court while the case is still ongoing. For example, a party that loses its motion to ...

This months CLIP is an article by Pablo Ibáñez Colomo, Professor of Law at the London School of Economics, on the Court of Justices January 2020 judgment in Generics (Paroxetine). As we discussed here, the Generics judgment was significant because it was the first time that the EUs highest court provided guidance on the competition law assessment of pay-for-delay agreements in the pharma sector.. After providing a helpful summary of the case background and the Courts main findings, Professor Ibáñez Colomo argues that the judgment achieves an optimal balance that minimise[s] the risk of Type I (over-enforcement) and Type II (under-enforcement) errors. In his analysis, the judgment achieves this in two main ways. First, it defines the notion of potential competition relatively expansively (real and concrete possibility of market entry, as opposed to likelihood, is enough in this regard). In Professor Ibáñez Colomos opinion, this reduces the risk of Type II errors. Second, the ...

The field of applied sport psychology has recognized the growing consensus that professional autonomy and discretion brings with it the need to train, regulate, and evaluate practice (Evetts, 2001). However, research into how practitioners professional judgment is formed and the decision-making processes involved has not received concurrent attention. This paper illustrates some of the possible outcomes and implications for applied sport psychologists from consideration of Professional Judgment and Decision Making (PJDM) research in other fields such as medicine and teaching and in parallel disciplines such as clinical and counseling psychology. Investigation into the nature of decision content and how the crucial intention for impact (Hill, 1992) is formulated carries implications for the assessment, reflective practice, and professional development and training of applied sport psychologists. Future directions in PJDM research are suggested and a call is made for practitioners to be open to ...

Many studies have shown that behavioral measures are affected by manipulating the imageability of words. Though imageability is usually measured by human judgment, little is known about what factors underlie those judgments. We demonstrate that imageability judgments can be largely or entirely accounted for by two computable measures that have previously been associated with imageability, the size and density of a words context and the emotional associations of the word. We outline an algorithmic method for predicting imageability judgments using co-occurrence distances in a large corpus. Our computed judgments account for 58% of the variance in a set of nearly two thousand imageability judgments, for words that span the entire range of imageability. The two factors account for 43% of the variance in lexical decision reaction times (LDRTs) that is attributable to imageability in a large database of 3697 LDRTs spanning the range of imageability. We document variances in the distribution of our measures

A 17-year-old Muslim boy who has gone to wage jihad in Syria has said he will never return to his distraught parents in Britain. Aseel Muthana, who has joined the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (Isis), said on social media that unless his family came to join him he would not see them until judgment day. The teenagers remarks emerged yesterday as two people were arrested and 12 addresses raided in terrorism investigations in Britain. Aseels older brother, Nasser, 20, was seen by millions in a notorious Isis recruitment video on YouTube two weeks ago as the militia launched a brutal rampage through Iraq. Nasser has taunted the British authorities, who fear that dangerous young jihadis will return from overseas, by posting a picture…. ...

The Bible talks about the Judgment Seat of Christ--also referred to as the bema--in three places: Romans 14:10-12; 1 Corinthians 3:10--4:5; and 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. Only church-age saints will appear at that judgment, as shown in 2 Corinthians 5:10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. The purpose of the bema is an exhaustive evaluation of our lives. First Corinthians 4:5 says the Lord will come and bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each ones praise will come from God. That passage reveals Pauls emphasis on the judgment seat of Christ. Notice that Paul says each mans praise will come to him from God. God gives rewards to the victors; He does not whip the losers. We know that He wont condemn us for our sins at that point, because Romans 8:1 says, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Thus, the purpose of the judgment seat of Christ is to examine a Christians total life. We ...

Judgement or experience, what matters most? I feel that people with the best judgment are the ones that ask the most questions, listen deeply, ask more questions, then look for other folks to question more. And then they make a decision. Experience seems to be another name for the mistakes weve made. Then the question becomes, Do we actually learn from mistakes? Psychology and behavorial economics keeps telling us that humans are surprisingly poor at learning from their mistakes. Its called denial. Something irrational seems to be at work. So, hands down, judgment is far more important. Thats been my experience. - Pierre Ferrari ...

Court Says Order Is Not Appealable Where Unresolved Claims Dismissed to Be Litigated Later. By KENNETH OFGANG, Staff Writer. Parties to a suit in which only some of the causes of action have been adjudicated may not create appellate jurisdiction by agreeing that the remaining claims will be dismissed without prejudice and with a waiver of the statute of limitations, the state Supreme Court unanimously ruled yesterday.. Overturning a contrary ruling by Div. Five of this district s Court of Appeal, the justices ordered dismissal of an ophthalmologist s appeal from a judgment entered in favor of his former partner. The high court said the judgment was not appealable, under Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 904.1 s one final judgment rule, because there was no final adjudication of claims by each party that he was defamed by the other. The plaintiff, Dr. Badrudin Kurwa of Arcadia, ...

Beauty may lie in the eyes of the beholder, but morality, apparently, lies just behind your right ear-in an area scientists call the right temporoparietal junction (RTPJ).. In a study that helps explain the mechanics of morality, neuroscientist Liane Young and her colleagues found that activity in the RTPJ is linked to the types of moral judgments we make-and those judgments can easily be tinkered with using a mere magnet. The researchers found that by delivering magnetic pulses to the RTPJ they were able to impact moral judgments; the magnetic pulses made people less likely to condemn others for attempting but failing to inflict harm [Nature]. The findings were published in journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.. Says Young: You think of morality as being a really high-level behavior. To be able to apply a magnetic field to a specific brain region and change peoples moral judgments is really astonishing [BBC].. Most of us make moral judgments based on not just what the ...

Repetition blindness (RB) refers to the impairment in reporting two identical targets within a rapid serial visual presentation stream. While numerous studies have demonstrated RB for words and picture of objects, very few studies have examined RB for faces. This study extended this research by examining RB when the two faces were complete repeats (same emotion and identity), identity repeats (same individual, different emotion), and emotion repeats (different individual, same emotion) for identity, gender, and expression judgment tasks. Complete RB and identity RB effects were evident for all three judgment tasks. Emotion RB was only evident for the expression and gender judgments. Complete RB effects were larger than emotion or identity RB effects across all judgment tasks. For the expression judgments, there was more emotion than identity RB. The identity RB effect was larger than the emotion RB effect for the gender judgments. Cross task comparisons revealed larger complete RB effects for ...

A decision on Microsofts appeal against the European Commissions 2004 anti-trust judgement is expected by 17 September.. Reuters reports that the judge presiding over the case is set to retire on 17 September, so the case will see a conclusion by this date.. While the courts findings of fact cannot be appealed, a losing party could appeal questions of law to another court.. If Microsoft loses, observers predict that Microsoft will take advantage of this legal path..

The All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Ekiti state said it has rejected the Court of Appeal judgement which on Wednesday, sacked the Spokesman of the Senate, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, adding that it did not reflect the wishes of people of the Ekiti South Senatorial district.. The judgement, delivered earlier today can best be described as a travesty of Justice and robbing Peter to pay Paul the Party declared.. The APC, in a terse statement issued by its Director of Media and Publicity, Elder Sam Oluwalana, noted that the short period spent by Senator Adeyeye at the red chamber was indelible and remarkable for the people of Ekiti South and the state in general.. Elder Oluwalana, who doubles as SSA (Media) Party Matters to the state Governor stated that , the Prince of Ise Ekiti exhibited exemplary traits while in the upper chambers.. ...

We supplemented our knowledge of the smell terms in Jahai and Maniq by using free-listing: we simply asked people to list all the smell words they knew. In addition, we tried to find out more about their application by asking people to provide exemplars (What smells like X?) for each of the smell words. With the Maniq, we also conducted a similarity judgment task. We wanted to understand better the how the smell words were related to one another. So, we provided Maniq speakers with triads of smell words, and asked them to tell us which word was the most different to the others. It would be like asking English speakers to say which is the most different out of the following three: GREEN, BLUE, ORANGE. These judgments can be converted into similarity matrices, and then analysed using multivariate statistics to reveal the underlying structure of the smell lexicon.. These empirical methods are one prong of our smell studies. We also rely on linguistic elicitation to figure out more about the ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Exploring Repressive Suffering Construal as a Function of Collectivism and Social Morality. AU - Sullivan, Daniel L. AU - Stewart, Sheridan A.. AU - Landau, Mark J.. AU - Liu, Shi. AU - Yang, Qian. AU - Diefendorf, Joseph. PY - 2016/8/1. Y1 - 2016/8/1. N2 - Prior research demonstrated that an experimentally primed collectivist orientation increased repressive suffering construal (RSC): interpretation of suffering as being caused by deviance and having the purpose of maintaining social order. Furthermore, the effect of collectivism on RSC was mediated by social morality: the belief that society dictates morality. The current research provides the first cross-cultural empirical evidence for the links between RSC, collectivism, and social morality. In an investigation of religious subcultures, collectivist Mennonites endorsed RSC to a greater degree than individualist Unitarian Universalists and undergraduates, and this difference was mediated by collectivism. Examining the RSC ...

We have covered the Hague Choice of Court Convention here before: the European Union has joined it, the United States are contemplating to do so, and this month, it came into force between the EU member states and Mexico. Here is what the Convention on Choice of Court Agreements is about: It seeks to ensure the effectiveness of choice of court agreements (also known as forum selection clauses) between parties to international civil and commercial transactions. However, the Choice of Court Convention is only one work stream of the Judgments Project undertaken by the Hague Conference since 1992: The Judgments Project originally wanted to tackle both the international jurisdiction of courts and the recognition and enforcement of judgments abroad.. When the initial efforts to developing a broad convention faced too much resistance, the projects scope was reduced to international cases involving choice of court agreements. This led to the conclusion of the Choice of Court Convention (for more ...

The Gears of War trilogy wrapped up Marcus Fenixs tale of his plight against the Locust with a definitive ending. So what was next for the Gears of War games if the main protagonists story has been concluded? A prequel of course! Rather than start a new Trilogy, instead we go back in time to shortly after Emergence Day happened and follow Gears of War veteran Damon Baird and his command of the Kilo Squad during this time period. If youre unfamiliar with Gears of War lore, Emergence Day is the day that the war between Humans and Locusts began when the Locust invaded the planet Sera from beneath. Gears of War: Judgment takes place very shortly after Emergence Day but long before the original Gears of War. As Im a fan of the Gears of War series, I was curious to get ahold of Judgment as I wanted to learn more lore about the COG, Locust, Emergence Day, and all of the main characters weve come to love over the past three games. There were two things that made me unsure about how Judgment would turn

John 3:16 God is a God of love (1 John 4:8). All Bible teaching must reflect this characteristic of God. WHEN WILL HELL-FIRE BURN? Matthew 13 : 36-43; 49,50The wicked are punished at the end of the world. 2 Peter 2:9 2 Timothy 4:1 Revelation 20:11-15 The wicked are reserved until the judgment day. Gods judgment day for the wicked begins at His appearing when He comes again. The final phase of the judgment will occur at the second resurrection where the wicked will be sentenced and receive their final reward in the lake of fire at the end of the world. WHERE WILL HELL-FIRE BURN? Proverbs 11:31 The wicked will be punished on the earth, just as the righteous will receive their reward on this earth (Matt. 5:5). Deuteronomy 32:22 Hell-fire will burn the earth with everything in it and even burn the mountains. 2 Peter 3:7 God is keeping it all in store to burn at the end of the world (vs. 10-13). The earth and all that is in it will be burned up and God will then create a new heaven (atmosphere) ...

Image:Last Judgement.JPG,frame,right,Last Judgement]] The Sunday of the Last Judgment or Meatfare Sunday is the third Sunday using the [[Lenten Triodion]], the liturgical book used in the services of [[Great Lent]]. It is the Sunday after the [[Sunday of the Prodigal Son]] and Sunday before [[Forgiveness Sunday]]. This is the third week of the pre-Lenten start of the [[Easter]] cycle of worship in the Orthodox Church. This Sunday is called Meatfare Sunday since it is traditionally the last day before Easter for eating meat. Orthodox Christians observe a [[fast]] from meat all week, but still eat dairy products and eggs till the start of Great Lent. The [[Gospel]] reading this Sunday remembers [[Christ]]s parable of the Last Judgment ([[Gospel of Matthew,Matthew]] 25:31-46). This adds to the previous pre-Lent Sundays and teaches that it is not enough to see Jesus, to see ourselves as we are, and to come home to God as his prodigal sons. The Church teaches that, in addition, one must ...

290,000 Judgment for Failure to Treat Ruptured Appendix Affirmed. by David Reutter. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a $290,000 judgment in a civil rights action alleging deliberate indifference to a prisoners serious medical needs. The appellate courts order affirmed a Louisiana federal district court judgment concerning a prisoners treatment at the Morehouse Detention Center.. Prisoner Calvin Rodrigue submitted a written request for emergency services on May 31, 2008. Nurse Dana Grayson treated his complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting with medication. Rodrigue submitted a sick call request the next day that made similar complaints. Once again, Grayson administered medication.. In response to a sick call request filed by Rodrigue on June 3, Grayson gave him milk of magnesia to treat his complaint of constipation. Two days later he submitted another request for medical services to Lt. Brad Fife; he also submitted a sick call request to Grayson. Both requests said his ...

STROUDSBURG - The National Basketball Association has slam dunked a Stroud Township man with a $398,500 judgment for allegedly selling counterfeit trading cards.The judgment against Jack DeAngelis and his company, Gotta Have It Collectibles, grew out of a pending lawsuit in the federal Southern District of Florida in Miami. NBA attorneys obtained the judgment and had it transferred from Florida to the Monroe County Courthouse after DeAngelis allegedly failed to respond to the

The aim of this research was to study the relationship between perceptual judgments about space and time. If spatial and temporal judgments were dissociable, they should be modulated selectively by attention. We compared the effect of the attentional set upon fine-grained spatial versus temporal discrimination of visual perception in two experiments. Using identical sensory stimulation, we measured perceptual judgments on either the size of a small spatial gap or the duration of a brief temporal gap. The attentional set was manipulated by cuing the task that was most likely to be performed. In one experiment, a neutral cue was also used, to measure relative benefits and costs of spatial and temporal task sets. If the attentional set could be directed selectively to spatial and temporal task-relevant dimensions, performance on both spatial and temporal acuity tasks should be specifically modulated by task cuing. The results showed that the attentional set enhanced the speed and accuracy of perceptual

We used event-related fMRI to investigate whether recollection- and familiarity-based memory judgments are modulated by the degree of visual similarity between old and new art paintings. Subjects performed a flower detection task, followed by a Remember/Know/New surprise memory test. The old paintings were randomly presented with new paintings, which were either visually similar or visually different. Consistent with our prediction, subjects were significantly faster and more accurate to reject new, visually different paintings than new, visually similar ones. The proportion of false alarms, namely remember and know responses to new paintings, was significantly reduced with decreased visual similarity. The retrieval task evoked activation in multiple visual, parietal and prefrontal regions, within which remember judgments elicited stronger activation than know judgments. New, visually different paintings evoked weaker activation than new, visually similar items in the intraparietal sulcus. Contrasting

Lookism is discriminatory treatment toward physically unattractive people; mainly in the workplace but also in social settings. While not classified in the same way as racial, cultural, sexual discrimination, lookism is widespread and affects how people are perceived as well as affecting their opportunities in terms of romantic relationships, job opportunities, etc.[citation needed] Physical attractiveness is associated with good things; in contrast, physical unattractiveness is associated with negative things. Many people make judgments of others based on their physical appearance that influence how they respond to those people. Research on the What is beautiful is good stereotype shows that, overall, those who are physically attractive benefit from their good looks: physically attractive individuals are perceived more positively and physical attractiveness has a strong influence on judgment of a persons competence. In return, physically attractive people benefit from these stereotypical ...

Many women are extremely concerned with-even panicked by-the negative judgments they perceive are directed their way by what I think of as two overlapping categories of people: the people whose opinions do not matter and the people whose opinions are wrong.. The people whose opinions dont matter include sales clerks, waiters, fellow elevator passengers, church members whose names you dont know, women in the supermarket aisle, and relatives you see only once or twice a year at the family reunion and Christmas. Usually the judgments of these people are unspoken and reside mainly in your imagination. You know what you think of yourself, so you assume others are thinking, I cant believe how fat shes gotten, or Doesnt she know if she orders that it will make her even fatter? Judgments are inferred from facial expressions or body language, always with a negative spin. These judgment, however, do not matter, because they have no ultimate effect on your life (except to the extent that you ...

The Danladi Umar-led CCT had, in June last 2017, terminated the trial upon an application by Saraki.. The CCTs decision was based on the grounds that the prosecution, with its four witnesses and 49 tendered exhibits, failed to lead any credible evidence linking Saraki to the 18 counts preferred against him.. The 18 counts bordered on Sarakis alleged false assets declaration and other breaches of the code of conduct for public officers.. The tribunal had ruled that in the absence of any credible evidence to support the charges, there was no basis to call upon the Senate President to enter his defence.. However, the Court of Appeal in Abuja ruling on December 12, 2017, in an appeal filed by the Federal Government against the decision of the CCT, restored three out of the dismissed 18 counts and ordered Saraki to return to the CCT to defend the three charges.. But both Saraki and the Federal Government were dissatisfied with separate parts of the Court of Appeals judgment.. While Saraki had ...
