the womb became known as the “The Mozart Theory.” During the 1990s, several research papers and popular books wrote about “The Mozart Theory,” which came to be called the “Mozart Effect”: an observed temporary, small elevation of scores on certain tests as a result of listening to Mozart's music. The Mozart effect has been the subject of much research in recent years, after it was found that listening to Mozart’s music may increase specific types of intelligence. The approach has been popularized

Abstract The aim of this experiment is to study autonomic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect by using numbers. A number of 180 random participants aged in between 18-89 were recruited to participate in this experiment. Participants were presented with a stroop experiment task sheet which consists of three parts which was the control, congruent and incongruent conditions. Time was taken and recorded for each participant to say out the number of stars in the control condition

Have you ever wondered why the company of others affects our behaviour? Why is our performance improved when you exercise with your friend, and impaired when you are alone? These processes have been studied for more than a century not only on people, but even on animals, like cockroaches or chickens. The first scientist who explained that phenomenon was Floyd Allport (1920). Allport based his conclusions on Tripplet’s (1889) observations, and termed it social facilitation, what means that performance

Rosnow and Rosenthal (1989) examine statistical procedures and the justification of knowledge in regards to psychological science. Psychology researchers, similar to researchers in other fields, think in inventive ways, resembling hunches and intuitions. Because of this, often progress is the result of guesses and hunches. For a long time, and at times a detriment to us as psychological scientists, we have looked at evidence as a dichotomous significance decision. In other words, significance is

Since the publication of the experiment report “management and the worker” in 1939(Gillespie, 1991) the Hawthorne studies have been playing an important role in management, psychology and sociology. Hawthorne studies were the foundation for the modern day management thinking. Hawthorne studies have been subject to many criticisms but it produced the fundamental changes in the development of management thoughts. The great contribution Hawthorne studies made to the development of modern management

Personality assessments are a tool used frequently in organizations. However, the phenomena of faking on personality assessments is a relevant concern in the selection process. Research regarding faking on personality assessments have revealing that faking and the distortion of responses does occur. In addition, research has been conducted to determine how to detect when faking occurs on a personality assessment. Furthermore, research has been conducted showing the individual characteristics does

Let’s now turn our attention to the core elements of paternalistic leadership. In this section, we will explore the core framework of paternalistic leadership style, before analysing two core theories of motivation that drive the framework. At the end, we’ll also explore the two separate strains of paternalistic framework: benevolent and exploitative models. The core framework When it comes to leadership, a few core elements guide the way in which different leadership styles organise and manifest

QN. 1 Leader-member Exchange Theory Leader-member exchange (LMX) is a theory that describes the roles and relationships that developed over a period of time between a leader and his or her subordinates (Yukl, (2013). In other words, as the leader interacts with subordinates, a mutual relationship that defines roles is developed. Every leader at some point develops a core number of trusted assistants, advisors and lieutenants that they can call upon to perform critical tasks. So this calls for high

Inbreeding Depression Inbreeding depression is a widely-studied topic in the fields of not only genetics, but as well as the fields of biology, ecology, etc. Directly speaking, inbreeding depression results in the loss or reduced expression of a trait due to the mating between two closely related organisms (Hartl 547). As of today, there are a plethora of studies and evidence that explain how and why inbreeding occurs within populations even though it is deleterious for the populations. However,

soon started being used in films for effects. Rickitt (2006) explains that effects during the 80s were not just there to solve problems and producing impossible shots like their initial purpose but used as a marketing tool for films to promote themselves based on the quality of the image and amount of visual effects involved. Star Wars was the first film to make use of this marketing tool and made people grow more interest on the film itself as well as the effects and of course, this brought more income
