Manner of Death Impacts the Death Effect in Literary Evaluation
Get PDFThe existence of a death effect—that the value of a creative work tends to increase after the creator has died—in literary evaluation was demonstrated. To replicate and extend previous findings, (N = 408) university students were asked to imagine being an art collector potentially interested in purchasing a short story. The status of the author varied from still being alive to having died from a car accident, suicide, or heart attack. Consistent with earlier work, students, when informed that the author was dead, offered to pay more money (81% more, on average) to purchase the story relative to students informed that the author was alive. Unique to this investigation, students offered the most money when told that the author died from a car accident. Priming students about death and dying boosted valuations. Unlike earlier work, subjective impressions about the author and the story were not affected by these manipulations. Mortality awareness and the relatability of the manner of death enhanced the desire for a perceived-to-be scarce product, in this case a creative literary work from a dead author
Beware of the Parallel-Replacement Zombies

Strategies are provided to help students develop a more conceptual understanding of mathematics and help to avoid the number replacement method
Using Turkish Aksak Rhythms To Teach Asymmetrical Meter
No full textEar training courses often treat the topic of asymmetrical meter (5, 7 beats) as uncommon in Western music. This causes musical examples in the subject to be less idiomatic than those which deal with more "normative" meters, in 2, 3, and 4 beats. Turkish music, on the other hand, often organizes beats asymmetrically, a feature known as aksak or "limping." This paper discusses strategies for incorporating both Turkish musical examples and pedagogical practices in aural skills class in order to teach the topic of asymmetrical meter
A Pilot Study: Using the Health Belief Model to Understand Cannabidiol Use in One Amish Community
Get PDFAmish use of complementary and alternative medicine is common, but little is known about their opinion of cannabidiol. Hemp legalization has popularized cannabidiol, making it available to Amish whose traditions limit access to scientific information. The purpose of this pilot study is to gain an understanding of cannabidiol use in one Old Order Amish community. A researcher-developed questionnaire was mailed to 60 members of one Amish district. The Medicinal Cannabidiol Survey for an Amish Population was adapted from the Medicinal Cannabis Survey for General Practitioners to the specification of cannabidiol, Amish cultural relevance, and the six theoretical constructs of the health belief model. A content validity survey was completed with an overall item-level content validity index score of .92. Most respondents reported hearing discussions in the Amish community regarding cannabidiol [81.8% (n = 9)]. Slightly more agreement was found within the 10 benefit construct statements (40%) compared to six barrier statements (36.5%). Low agreement was observed among all nine questionnaire statements addressing Amish perceived threat to using cannabidiol. The barrier statement that cannabidiol cost prohibits its use had the highest agreement [90.9% (n = 10)] among all statements, which may be a stronger barrier when considering Amish culture. Higher agreement among the benefit construct compared to lower agreement among statements surrounding Amish perceived threat of cannabidiol suggests the likelihood of their cannabidiol use. A major limitation of this study was the sample size; therefore, the tool should be used in a large Amish sample to explore the findings of this pilot study.
