Power increases anchoring effects on judgment
Get PDFFour experiments test the impact of power (versus powerlessness) on anchoring effects. Anchoring refers to the tendency to assimilate one’s judgment to a previously considered numeric standard. Based on the notion that power facilitates the activation of and reliance on accessible information, we hypothesized that power increases numeric anchoring effects on judgment, compared to powerlessness. Across studies, we found consistent support for this idea, when testing estimations of factual values (Experiments 1 and 2), subjective evaluations (Experiment 3), and negotiation behavior (Experiment 4). The findings of Studies 2 to 4 qualify the dominant idea in power literature that power reduces conformity to others’ opinion. Power increases conformity to others’ opinion, if such opinion is presented as an anchor and therefore processed more automatically. These findings also have important methodological implications for power research. They show that differences in stimulus presentation can steer observed effects of power in opposite directions
Power increases the self-serving bias in the attribution of collective successes and failures
No full textThree studies test the effect of power on the self-serving bias in attributing collective outcomes. The first two studies measure (Experiment 1) and manipulate (Experiment 2) power and then measure the internal (vs. external) attribution of past successes and failures. Consistently, those who feel powerful show a stronger self-serving tendency to selectively attribute successes internally and failures externally than those who feel powerless. Experiment 3 compares the effects of power (control over others) and personal control (over oneself). We find that power increases the self-serving bias, but a lack of control can limit this effect by reducing the external attribution of failures. Presumably, people who lack control are disinclined to attribute outcomes—including failures—externally because doing so would further aggravate their lack of control. Together, these results suggest that power increases a bias in the attribution of success and failure and thus presents a fundamental challenge to good leadership
La symbolique maternelle dans quatre romans de Françoise Mallet-Joris /
No full textSo far, Francoise Mallet-Joris has been categorized either as a Catholic novelist or as a moderate feminist. Accused of conservatism by some, perceived by others as immoral, she has been considerably underrated by a critical audience anxious to maintain traditional literary categories. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that faith and feminism, far from conflicting with each other, are linked in Mallet-Joris' work with the process of writing, thus forming a triple entity where the common denominator is the theme of maternity. This theme will be analysed in four of Mallet-Joris' novels, Les Mensonges, Les Signes et les Prodiges, Allegra, and La Tristesse du Cerf-volant, using a symbolic approach whose usefulness lies in the twofold definition of a symbol as, on the one hand, a materialisation of the inexpressible and on the other, a split unity. For the temporal modality and the concept of identity inherent in the maternal experience place it outside the narrative system, thus putting any author who wishes to tackle this area in the position of either inventing a new narrative form or attempting a compromise between already existing forms and the specific content of the maternal experience. It is this latter alternative that Francoise Mallet-Joris adopts. Although as far as form is concerned, Mallet-Joris can hardly be termed innovative, she demonstrates on an ideological plane an originality which is largely the product of using the symbol of the Virgin Mary as an intermediary between the maternal experience and the symbolic order

Framing metamemory judgments: judgments of retention intervals (JORIs)
Get PDF2010 Summer.Includes bibliographic references (pages 57-60).Covers not scanned.Print version deaccessioned 2022.Prior research has shown that participants’ predictions of memory performance are not sensitive to the time between study and test. However, this work has largely relied in one metacognitive measure, Judgments of Learning (JOLs), to assess such awareness. Thus, in three experiments I explored a new metacognitive measure. Judgments of Retention Interval (JORIs), in which participants determine how long (in minutes) information will be remembered. Results demonstrated that the metacognitive measure itself influences assessments of monitoring and control. For example participants chose to restudy more items when JORIs were made, compared with fewer restudy choices from participants who made JOLs (Experiment 2). However, participants demonstrated difficulty incorporating information about a retention interval into their judgments regardless of the type of judgment made (i.e., JOLs or JORIs). Results are considered within existing theoretical frameworks. I suggest that the metacognitive measure needs to be considered in order to accurately assess metacognitive awareness, and additional work is needed to assess metacognitive awareness of RI
THE MONOLITH DRAWING
No full textRobin Evans describes the way in which architecture always exceeds its representations for every architecture meanders through different stages of being image [*]. Stan Allen defines the practice of producing images of architecture to be a combination between representation and expression [*]. The practice of notational drawing, driven by professional codes, indeed allows us to represent spaces as empirical objects. The diagram, as he explains, is a moment where one takes a distance from such a professional vocabulary to allow the image or drawing to become expressive of something perhaps less tangible [*]. This distinction between notation and diagramming has been termed by the American Philosopher Nelson Goodman (1976) as the difference between allographic and autographic art forms.
Allographic art is “capable of being reproduced at a distance from the author by means of notation” [*]. An example of this would be music scores or indeed an architectural drawing. Autographic art its authenticity on the other hand is clearly dependent on direct contact with the author. Its value therefore lays in the original, such as in a painting or diagram.
This paper aims at describing a drawing protocol through which the dialectics between representation and expression are under perpetual review. The protocol, termed The Monolith Drawing, acts as a performative discourse syncopating between representation and expression like Rubin’s Vase allowing both models to simultaneously exist on for and background.
A significant attribute of The Monolith Drawing is its investment in the enormity of absence in order to avoid, as much as possible, ready made vocabularies and pre-determined routes of reflection. As such overthrowing the Architect’s personal formations of truth to allow him/her to interact with the vastness of what one could address as collective memory. This allows for a particular kind of embryonic architecture, born out of the organizational framework in which individual consciousness can coincide with shared understanding (or indeed collective memory). This is important to prevent the act of drawing to be reduced to subjective idealism and allow it to enter the dimensions of an architectural history.
The Monolith Drawing invests in the entirety of history actively referencing historical archetypical elements to explore aspects of duration freed from historical classification and taxonomy. This in turn seems to create a practice of paradox with the appearing congruence between intuition and tradition. It is this kind of practice which is enabled a search for architecture escaping a historical periphery in order to (re) enter history in pursuit of productive points of intersection and overlap. In doing so, any boundary between historicized and present day architecture is carefully erased. Any safe distance between historical and contemporary information is eliminated to allow the drawing to engage with a process of intimate reflection. Such production of architecture demands a distancing between the architect as author and the authored product. The Monolith Drawing, as this paper will explain, is partly responsible for its own becoming with the architect standing at a (critical) distance. Such positioning of the architect, as maker of drawing constructs or choreographer of (historical) information is the actuation of a practice in which any linear or secular understanding of time is rejected and the idea of space or more specifically ‘distance’ is allowed to change.sponsorship: KU Leuvenstatus: Accepte
From the narrative about other to the narrative about yourself. "La double confidence" by Françoise Mallet-Joris
Get PDFThis article is devoted to the book The Double Confidence (2000) by the Belgian novelist Françoise Mallet‐Joris, which is the fusion of the biography of Marceline Debordes‐Valmore and the autobiography of the author. The writing of the biography triggers the author's memory and awakens her memories (mainly her difficult relationship with her mother, Suzanne Lilar): she allows her to observe herself, to analyze herself, to ask questions she avoid, to re‐emerge repressed. I study the elements that link the work of Mallet‐Joris to "narrations of filiation", I examine the binary structure, the singularity of discursive strategies, as well as the therapeutic function of this self‐biographic project

Pre-ICU characteristics in cardiac surgery patients with CPB developing AKI
No full textAims. AKI is common after cardiac surgery involving CPB. Lack of reliable early detection methods for post-op AKI limits timely therapeutic intervention. A number of new biomarkers for AKI await validation in this setting. Analysis of a database was
performed to define baseline patient and biomarker characteristics in patients developing AKI.
Methods. 259 patients were enrolled. Patients with severe pre-existing renal insufficiency were excluded (eGFR<15ml/min). Urine and blood samples were obtained immediately before initiation of CPB. Patients were retrospectively divided into 2 groups,
AKI (n=84) and non-AKI (n=175), based on the AKIN criteria (increase in s-Creat ≥ 0.3 mg/dl or ≥ 50% compared to baseline within 48h or reduction in Urine output <0.5 ml/kg/h for more than 6h). Statistical analysis of all characteristics before arrival on the ICU was performed.
Results. AKI patients (32% of total) were older (70 yrs (SD= 9) vs 67 (11), p=0.043) with higher BMI’s (27.7 (4.8) vs. 26.7 (4.3), p=0.036). As to be expected baseline eGFR (CKD-EPI, in ml/min) was lower in the AKI-group (69.49 (20.30) vs. 76.45 (15.01), p=0.024). Both baseline urinary-NGAL (μg/l)(1211 (2172) vs. 749 (946), p=0.020) and serum-cystatin C (in mg/L)(0.98 (0.39) vs 0.86 (0.36), p=0.0175) were statistically higher in the AKI group and CPB time (in minutes) was significantly longer: 163 (63) vs 121 (51), p<0.0001.
Conclusion. u-NGAL and s-Cystatin most likely reflect pre-existing kidney dysfunction (like eGFR). CPB time is a significant factor for development of AKI, which is amenable to improvement
