Social Mindfulness: Prosocial the Active Way
Get PDFProsociality is a central topic in positive psychology. An important but under-studied distinction can be made between active and reactive expressions. We suggest that the novel construct of social mindfulness represents active rather than reactive prosociality. Across four studies (N = 2,594), including a multi-wave representative sample spanning six years, social mindfulness is found to correlate with personality traits associated with prosocial and/or antisocial behavior. We find positive associations with empathy, social value orientation, and general prosocial behavior, and negative associations with moral disengagement and narcissism. Importantly, social mindfulness emerges as an active rather than a reactive characteristic that is more strongly related to HEXACO honesty-humility (active cooperation) than to HEXACO agreeableness (reactive cooperation). The association between social mindfulness and honesty-humility was found across measures six years apart. Given the well-established link between prosociality and well-being, emphasizing social mindfulness may be a good start to promote the latter
Linear Text (Blog)
No full textCorpus of Contemporary American English linear text data format. Zip folder contains 34 .txt files of linguistic data from blog sources. This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her)

Assigning Geographic Origins to Genome Sequences
No full textThe Ancestry Composition Algorithm is used by 23andMe to classify an individual\u27s genetic information to inherited ancestry. Within this algorithm there are three specific steps to classify DNA: window classification, smoothing, and recalibration. Window classification uses kernel support vector machines to make initial ancestry classifications. Smoothing corrects for errors in the previously made classifications by using an autoregressive, pair hidden Markov model. Finally, the recalibration step accounts for biases by initially using an isotonic regression procedure; however, in cases of close geographic proximity, uses a hierarchical classifier to distinguish these ancestries
