    A MULTI-SESSION ATTRIBUTION MODIFICATION PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN: EFFECTS ON HOSTILE ATTRIBUTIONS AND REACTIVE/PROACTIVE AGGRESSION

    Past research suggests that aggressive individuals are more likely to interpret others’ motives and intentions in ambiguous situations as hostile. In addition, there is preliminary evidence that attribution training programs, in which children are trained to endorse benign rather than hostile attributions in response to ambiguous social scenarios, are effective for reducing aggression-related cognitive biases (Vassilopoulos, Brouzos, Andreou, 2015). The current study was designed to replicate and extent the findings reported by Vassilopoulos et al. (2015) by investigating whether a novel attribution training program can reduce hostile attributions and reactive aggression in a sample of primary school children. A sample of unselected children aged 10 to 12-years was trained over three sessions to endorse benign rather than hostile attributions in response to ambiguous social scenarios. This group (n = 84) was subsequently less likely to endorse hostile attributions in response to a new set of ambiguous social situations than children in a pretest-posttest control group design (n = 45). Crucially, self-reported proactive and reactive aggressive behavior reduced more in the trained group than in the untrained controls, and this effect was greater for the reactive aggression. Children who received attribution training also reported less perceived anger than those in the control group. Implications of these findings are discussed

    We must combine conservation of nature with benefits to society. Interview by Gaby Allheilig with Andreas Heinimann on IPBES' Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

    On 6 May 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) presented its report on the state of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. The first such assessment since 2005, it concludes that biodiversity and ecosystem loss has reached the point where it threatens human well-being. The researchers involved recommend several urgent measures to political decision-makers. Andreas Heinimann of CDE was the one Swiss scientist who worked as a lead author on a chapter of the report

    Family Virtues and Social Critique: Andreas Latzko’s Anti-War Prose (1917-1918)

    No full text
    Between 1917 and 1918, the Austro-Hungarian author Andreas Latzko (1876-1943) wrote three separate publications against the Great War: Menschen im Krieg (1917), Friedensgericht (1918), and Der letzte Mann (published 1919). Literary historians tend to bypass these works, and the few who note them chiefly focus on the best-selling novella cycle Menschen im Krieg (1917). It is usually presented as an example of expressionist political prose, or as a mixture of social satire and aesthetic shock-tactics that chiefly remains indebted to realist traditions, albeit with occasional incursions into expressionistic styles..

    Short laws for finite groups and residual finiteness growth

    We prove that for every n ∈ N n \in \mathbb {N} and δ &gt; 0 \delta &gt;0 there exists a word w n ∈ F 2 w_n \in F_2 of length O ( n 2 / 3 log ⁡ ( n ) 3 + δ ) O(n^{2/3} \log (n)^{3+\delta }) which is a law for every finite group of order at most n n . This improves upon the main result of Andreas Thom [Israel J. Math. 219 (2017), pp. 469–478] by the second named author. As an application we prove a new lower bound on the residual finiteness growth of non-abelian free groups. </p

    Value quantification

    No full text
    This chapter explores the concept and practice of value quantification, emphasizing its crucial role in effectively communicating product offerings in industrial markets. Rather than relying solely on product characteristics, successful sales strategies involve translating unique selling points into quantifiable customer-specific economic value. The chapter synthesizes existing marketing and pricing literature, presenting a comprehensive model that categorizes benefits and sacrifices into quantitative and qualitative dimensions relevant to both B2B and B2C contexts. The author delineates a systematic approach for quantifying customer value, highlighting practical methodologies such as economic value analysis and conjoint analysis. Furthermore, the chapter underscores the managerial implications of value quantification, including enhanced pricing strategies, improved negotiation positions, reduced discounting, and performance-based pricing opportunities. Through detailed frameworks and real-world examples, the chapter provides actionable insights for effectively leveraging quantified value to gain competitive advantage and drive customer purchasing decisions
