Escuchar a los objetos
No full textThis experimental section includes some parts of the performative event “The materiality of transformations: Listening to objects”, which closed the 14th SIEF conference held in Santiago de Compostela in 2019. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Regina Bendix, Dorothy Noyes, Sharon Roseman and Francisco Cruces conversed on stage about the cultural meanings of a selection of personal objects. By unveiling the stories contained in mezuzahs, hair, a serving platter and a shawl, they put the methodological power of the object/story couplet to the test. The benefits of articulating narrativity with materiality; the silent power of things in everyday life; the embedded character of storytelling, and some of its affective, moral and celebratory virtues were highlighted. The final event can be seen at <https://vimeo.com/362078953> from minute 00:52:50 to 01:31:00.Esta sección experimental incluye algunas partes del evento performativo “La materialidad de las transformaciones: escuchar a los objetos”, que clausuró el XIV congreso de SIEF celebrado en Santiago de Compostela en 2019.

Ronald Roseman: A Biographical Description and Study of his Teaching Methodology
No full textRonald Roseman was an internationally acclaimed oboe soloist, chamber musician, teacher, recording artist, and composer whose career spanned over 40 years. A renowned oboist, he performed in some of America's most influential institutions and ensembles including the New York Woodwind Quintet, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York Bach Aria Group. His contributions to 20th Century oboe pedagogy through his own unique teaching methodology enabled him to contribute to the success of both his own personal students and many others in the field of oboe and woodwind performance. His body of compositions that include oboe as well as other instruments and voice serve to encapsulate his career as a noteworthy 20th Century composer. Roseman's musicianship and unique teaching style continues to be admired and respected worldwide by oboists and musicians. The purpose of this study is to present a biographical overview and pedagogical techniques of oboist Ronald Roseman. This study will be divided into sections about his early life, teaching career, performance career and his pedagogical influence upon his students. Exercises and techniques developed by Roseman for the enhancement of oboe pedagogy will also be included. Interviews have been conducted with his wife and three former well-known students in order to better serve the focus of this study. The author also contributed pedagogical techniques compiled during a two-year period of study with Roseman. Appendices include a discography of recorded materials, the New York Woodwind Quintet works list, Roseman's published article on Baroque Ornamentation, a list of his compositions with premiere dates and performers, and interview questions. It is the focus of this study to enhance and further the knowledge of oboe students and teachers and serve as a historical and pedagogical reference for future generations of oboists
The psychology of strongly-held beliefs: Theories of ideological structure and individual attachment.
No full textWhat determines the results of encounters between individuals and ideologies? For an ideology to be strongly held, the potential adherent should believe that the agents identified by the ideology are capable of taking the recommended actions, which are consistent with the adherent's moral values, and will result, according to accepted explanatory principles, in outcomes the adherent finds desirable. In consequence, it is proposed that strength of attachment to an ideology is a function of attachment to all of the components
Emotions and Emotion Families in the Emotion System
No full textTaken together, the emotions that are examined in this article may be understood as an emotion system. When the system is working properly, appraisal functions elicit the emotion strategy that is relatively likely to be adaptive in the type of situation a person perceives that he or she is facing
Appraisals as causes of emotions
No full textThere is some disagreement among emotion researchers about what appraisals cause what emotions. To contribute to the literature, in this study, we tested hypotheses from a prominent appraisal theory of emotions (Roseman, 2011) to investigate the emotions of frustration, disgust, anger, contempt, guilt, and shame. We also compared Roseman’s appraisal (2011) hypotheses to Tracy and Robins’ appraisal (2006) hypotheses for guilt and shame.
We manipulated the appraisals of agency and problem type (Roseman, 2011) to create vignettes and therefore obtain causal data. Participants were asked to compare emotions, rate emotions individually, and rate different appraisals based on the vignettes. We also investigated whether the problem type appraisal differentiates frustration from disgust, anger from contempt, and guilt from shame.
We found causal evidence that problem type contributes to differentiating frustration vs. disgust (in both samples), and guilt vs. shame (in one sample). Anger (in both samples) and contempt (in one sample) were found to be caused by other person agency, and guilt and shame by self agency (in both samples). The combinations of the agency and problem type appraisals caused the predicted emotions for anger, guilt, and shame in both samples and for frustration, disgust, and contempt in one sample. We also found significant results for guilt and shame differing on problem type (Roseman, 2011) but not in controllability (Tracy & Robins, 2006).
Overall, we found some support for the emotion system model (Roseman, 2011) and also compared two theories of appraisals for guilt and shame. These findings contribute to the better understanding of appraisals as causes of emotions. Problem type as being a determinant for guilt vs. shame also has implications for psychopathology, such as depression, as shame is more dysfunctional than guilt.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
Interview with Martin Roseman by David Smith, July 10, 2023
No full textMartin Roseman reflects on his herbal elixir company, Altered, and on his intimate relationship with herbs. He shares about their healing properties, both emotional and physiological, and highlights his favorite plants throughout. Martin offers his thoughts around healing, land, and agriculture, and recalls his family's story of land separation as Black people in the South. He ends the interview by bringing attention to the importance of symbiotic relationships in nature and how we can better ourselves by paying attention to them
Examining predictors of job-related passion within the context of a narrative model of strongly held beliefs
No full textOrganizations aim to attract and retain those who are driven to perform their job responsibilities. The existing literature has highlighted the positive outcomes of work passion (e.g., higher performance; Dubreuil et al., 2014), as well as its possible negative consequences (e.g., burnout; Lavigne et al., 2012). However, limited research has investigated the factors that predict work passion. Drawing from an integrative Narrative Model of Strongly Held Beliefs (Roseman, 1994), we examined whether belief components (evaluative, behavioral, identificational, normative, and explanatory components); single-item emotion intensity ratings of hope and pride (Roseman et al., 2015); and meaningful work (assessed through the Work and Meaning Inventory; Steger, 2012) predicted job-related passion. We hypothesized that the belief components, hope, pride, and meaningful work would positively predict job-related passion. A total of 102 full-time employed adults (defined as usually working 35 hours or more per week at their primary job) from select occupational backgrounds were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk and a listserv of Rutgers University-Camden alumni. Participants completed a single-occasion, self-report questionnaire via Qualtrics. Job-related passion was measured using one of the Passion Validity Criteria items (Vallerand & Houlfort, 2003), a single-item Job Passion Rating (Roseman et al., 2015), and the Work Passion Scale (Chen et al., 2020). Multiple regression analyses were conducted to test our hypotheses. Results show that the identificational component, pride, and meaningful work were the most consistent predictors of job-related passion. Implications for organizational training programs geared towards increasing passionate job motivation are discussed. Study limitations and future directions are also considered.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
Testing an integrative theory of strongly held beliefs: an analysis of support for Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. presidential election
No full textRoseman (1994) proposed a theory outlining the structure of strongly held beliefs, describing them as having a narrative-like structure containing evaluative, identificational, behavioral, normative, and explanatory components. The theory was also elaborated by Roseman, Steele, and Goodvin (2019) to include the influence of emotions on belief strength. In this study, we aimed to accomplish two things: 1) test the predictions of this narrative theory model by exploring American voters’ support for the incumbent President, Donald Trump, in the 2020 U.S. presidential election; and 2) test the efficacy of new general-level measures of the belief components to account for individual differences. We used a collection of survey items to measure endorsement of each of the belief components as manifest in participants’ beliefs about Donald Trump. We also included items measuring discrete emotions towards Donald Trump and his opponent in the race, Joe Biden. The survey was distributed to two national samples of registered voters chosen to match U.S. Census demographics in the weeks immediately before and after the 2020 election. It was found that each measure of the belief components was associated with participants’ self-reported support for Donald Trump, although different subsets of components were associated with voting for Trump between the two samples. The emotions of enthusiasm, pride, anger, contempt, and embarrassment also were associated with participants’ support for Trump. Regarding the new measures tested, results showed that each was associated with support for Donald Trump, although the strength of these associations varied considerably. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference

B26: Fastidious Bacteria Grow Better in the Right Media
No full textFastidious Bacteria Grow Better in the Right Media
Purpose: Nisseria gonorrheae is a common bacteria that causes a sexually transmitted disease. This disease can cause significant discomfort for both men and women, which can lead to infertility. Treatment of the bacterium has been a simple matter of diagnosis and antibiotic treatment in the past, but now this bacterium is becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant because of excessive antimicrobial treatments. A novel way to treat N. gonorrheae infection involves focusing on finding bacteriophage that targets N. gonorrheae. N. gonorrheae broth cultures are used to enrich for bacteriophage; but the current standard medium for growing N. gonorrheae, Fastidious Broth, was not allowing the bacteria to grow within the optimal range of 8-12 hours.
Methods: The difficulties with growing N. gonorrhea samples in Fastidious Broth led us to search for other media options that would result in bacteria growth in a more timely manner. This experiment characterized different growth media supplementation options with the aim of developing a medium that allows for completion of a bacterial growth curve over the course of 8-12 hours, which would be best suited for bacteriophage isolation and amplification protocols. To do this we grew colonies of fastidious bacteria including N. gonorrheae, S. pneumoniae, and F. novacida in liquid media, taking OD readings hourly during the bacterial growth. The media used was Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) using three different modifications of BHI (A, B, C).
Results: N. gonorrheae, S. pneumoniae, and F. novacida showed consistent growth rates in the liquid media, with Fastidius Broth as the control. N. gonorrheae showed the best growth in BHI supplementation medium C.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that the supplement medium we developed, BHI supplementation media C, is the most optimal for N. gonorrheae to grow from lag phase to stationary phase in the shortest amount of time. That makes this medium better for use in laboratory experimentation.
