Is circular economy inclusive? Assessing the engagement of vulnerable households in circular consumption behaviours
The transition to a sustainable circular economy requires the widespread adoption of circular consumption behaviours, yet little is known about how these behaviours are distributed across society, and whether this distribution is equitable. The contribution of individuals through behaviours such as repairing, renting and maintaining is crucial but often overlooked, overshadowed by contributions by industrial sectors. In particular, the role of vu…
Undermining Democratic Citizenry Around the World
This paper explores the mounting global threats to democracy. Tracing democracy's Western origins in ancient Athens through the Enlightenment revolutions and the rise of liberal democracies, the paper examines how contemporary democracies—both established and emerging—are under strain. Drawing on recent empirical research and theoretical frameworks, it identifies five intersecting drivers of democratic erosion: The resurgence of authoritarianism,…
Where if? Using spatial, building-stock-driven simulations to explore construction circularity strategies in Gothenburg, Sweden
Recycling construction materials can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the construction and demolition sector. However, implementing circularity strategies requires a spatially refined understanding of material stock dynamics. This study introduces a stock-driven and rule-based simulation that forecasts – over space and time – material stocks, flows, and associated embodied carbon resulting from construction, renovation, and demoli…
Enhanced material stock accounting by predicting building structures with morphological indicators
Material stocks (MS) represent the amount and composition of construction resources embodied in the built environment, and are critical to understanding long-term resource use, waste generation, and circular economy strategies. The reliability of building MS modelling depends largely on the appropriateness of archetype classification, with building structure being a key descriptor as it reflects the core materials used. Yet, structural informatio…
What can life cycle assessment modeling gain from agent-based modeling
Integration of agent-based modeling (ABM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proposed and applied as an approach to leverage the complementary strengths of both methods in assessing sustainability impacts within complex socio-technical systems. However, the existing literature has focused primarily on the technical “how” of integration, while the rationale, benefits and drawbacks have received less attention. In this forum paper, we revisit…
Is secondary affect secondary? Anosmia, perceptual absence, and veridical secondary affect without primary affect
This paper challenges the traditional understanding of secondary affect, on which the latter is a cognitive appraisal of a somatic state that already has an antecedent, primary affect. We appeal to cases of acquired anosmia—the loss of the sense of smell—to argue that there are instances where secondary affect arises in the absence of (indeed, because of the absence of) primary affect, and that this can be so even when the secondary state is comp…
On locational sensory individuals and spacetime
Perception not only registers property instances, but also connects with and attributes properties to individual entities—so‐called sensory individuals , or SIs. But what are SIs? The most‐discussed answers are: (i) SIs are ordinary material objects—cohesive, temporally persistent objects extended and bounded in space, and (ii) SIs are locations or regions in spacetime. I will argue for the object view of SIs on the grounds that its rival, the lo…
The Pedagogical Potential of Affective Oral Histories
A new obstacle for phenomenal contrast
Phenomenal Contrast Arguments (PCAs) are a prominent method in philosophy of mind for, among other uses, investigating how specific mental features shape the phenomenal character of experience. This paper identifies a general and underexplored obstacle to the success of PCAs: The necessity of demonstrating that the contrasts employed in these arguments are genuinely phenomenal, rather than merely cognitive or otherwise non-phenomenal. We contend …
Toward the Emergence of Intelligent Control
Human cognition is unique in its ability to perform a wide range of tasks and to learn new tasks quickly. Both abilities have long been associated with the acquisition of knowledge that can generalize across tasks and the flexible use of that knowledge to execute goal-directed behavior. We investigate how this emerges in a neural network by describing and testing the Episodic Generalization and Optimization (EGO) framework. The framework consists…
Parasocial Experiences in the Political Arena
As politics becomes increasingly personalized, research in parasocial relationships (PSRs) has begun to explore the effects of the public’s imagined relationships with political figures. This chapter provides an overview of this emerging area of study, beginning with a discussion of three primary strands of research on politically relevant PSRs. The first focuses on PSRs with politicians (e.g., Donald Trump) and examines how media and social medi…
An examination of middle school student learner characteristics as related to the reuse and remixing of code in two different computer science learning contexts
The goal of this study was to examine how two groups of middle school students’ self-efficacy, interest, goal orientation, and prior experience related to evidence of their building upon existing ideas and code in digital artifacts they created using MIT’s App Inventor, a computational practice that Brennan and Resnick (2012 Brennan, K., & Resnick, M.

Does it matter who tells the story? An experimental test of the effects of narrative perspective on credibility, identification, and persuasion
This experimental study explores the effects of narrative perspective on the outcomes related to health testimonials. One testimonial was presented to each respondent regarding one of the four topics (AIDS, lung cancer, gum disease, and alcoholism) and in one of the three perspectives (patient, parent, and doctor). Respondents (n = 967) were then asked to report on various reactions to the video, including credibility, identification, and story-c…
Interpolating Decisions
Decision theory requires agents to assign probabilities to states of the world and utilities to the possible outcomes of different actions. When agents commit to having the probabilities and/or utilities in a decision problem defined by objective features of the world, they may find themselves unable to decide which actions maximize expected utility. Decision theory has long recognized that work-around strategies are available in special cases; t…
Evolving to Science Poetry
Nicaraguan poet-priest Ernesto Cardenal (1925–2020) is one of the most important Latin American poets. He developed his “exteriorist” poetics in the 1950s, much influenced by Anglo-American poets, in particular Ezra Pound, to differentiate his poetry from the prevailing subjectivist verse in Latin America. The impact of Pound’s canto technique on his work is clear, as well. Cardenal’s epic poem Cántico cósmico ( Cosmic Canticle ), published in 19…

Posttraumatic growth among participating and non-participating organ donor families in grief support groups
This article aimed to assess posttraumatic growth among participating and nonparticipating families of organ donors in grief support groups. The program, in the form of both face-to-face and WhatsApp groups, is unique in that it extends over many years without limitation for a predefined period, is open to both immediate and extended family members, and is conducted according to predetermined topics. A questionnaire was completed by 84 participan…
Look me in the eyes
This study examines whether viewers’ parasocial interaction with a journalist affects the credibility of the journalist and the credibility of the news message, as well as whether the journalist’s direct or indirect address triggers this effect. In a between-subjects experiment ( N = 255), viewers had a more intense parasocial experience when the journalist addressed them directly rather than indirectly. Furthermore, viewers’ intense parasocial e…

Political Para-Social Relationship as a Predictor of Voting Preferences in the Israeli 2019 Elections
The idea that the success of media personae in attracting audiences and maintaining their loyalty depends on the creation of a pseudo-friendship, known as para-social relationships, has been a mainstay of mass media research for more than half a century. Expanding the scope of para-social relationship research into the political realm, the notion that political support could be predicted based on the intensity of para-social relationships between…

Audience Identification with Media Characters
The essence of entertainment television is that it can delight and enlighten “through the exhibition of the fortunes and misfortunes of others . . . ” (Zillmann & Bryant, 2002, p. 437). In order for the fortunes and misfortunes of others to delight us, they must first arouse our interest. It is necessary, then, that we attend to these others and what happens to them, and this can distract from our own life. The more involved we are with the ficti…
Defining Identification
In this article I argue that although the notion of identification with media characters is widely discussed in media research, it has not been carefully conceptualized or rigorously tested in empirical audience studies. This study presents a theoretical discussion of identification, including a definition of identification and a discussion of the consequences of identification with media characters for the development of identity and socializati…
Fact-Checking
Despite its growing prominence in news coverage and public discourse, there is still considerable ambiguity regarding when and how fact-checking affects beliefs. Informed by theories of motivated reasoning and message design, a meta-analytic review was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of fact-checking in correcting political misinformation (k = 30,N = 20,963). Fact-checking has a significantly positive overall influence on political belief…
The Influence of Presumed Media Influence in Politics
Much of what politicians do, we maintain in this paper, is driven by their belief in power of media, which motivates their desire to be featured in news coverage. Our argument rests upon recent advances in communication theory, stressing the influence on presumed media in- fluence (Gunther, Albert C., and J. Douglas Storey. 2003. The Influence of Presumed Influence. Journal of Communication 35(2):199-215) and contributes to our understanding of m…
Parasocial Break-Up from Favorite Television Characters
This study examined the responses of television viewers to the potential loss of their favorite television characters. A sample of 381 Israeli adults completed questionnaires, including questions about their relationships with their favorite characters, how they would react if those characters were taken off the air, and their attachment styles. Results showed that viewers expecting to lose their favorite characters anticipate negative reactions …
Democratic Consequences of Hostile Media Perceptions
In this article, the authors examine the consequences of the hostile-media phenomenon and advance the argument that people's perceptions of hostile coverage shape their trust in mainstream media institutions.Media trust in turn affects trust in democracy and willingness to accept democratic decisions. These ideas are tested on a sample of Jewish Settlers in the Gaza Strip,in theweeks before a Likud Party vote on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharo…
Parasocial Breakups
A self-report measure is presented for assessing the expected reactions of television viewers to the loss of parasocial relationships. Based on three separate samples, the measure is validated and used to explore differences in how people react to parasocial breakup. Findings suggest that, although women develop stronger parasocial relationships, they do not react differently than men to expected breakup. Teens, however, expect to be more upset t…

Fool me once, shame on you
While the issue of citizens’ declining trust in journalists has received much attention in both research and public discourse, relatively little research has examined how individuals’ evaluations of the accuracy of media coverage of events they witnessed personally may have long-term effects on the level of trust in journalists. Using the responses of Israeli adults (n = 405) to an online survey, this study explored various predictors of public t…

The Influence of Presumed Media Influence on News About Science and Scientists
According to the authors, much of media coverage of science and scientists is explained by scientists’ beliefs regarding the impact of appearing in media on their careers. Their argument rests on recent advances in communication theory, stressing “the influence of presumed media influence,” and contributes to our understanding of why some scientists receive more media coverage than others. Combined data from a survey of scholars in an Israeli res…
A Penchant for the Immoral
This study adds to existing research on liking of anti-heroes by demonstrating the importance of perceived interaction and identification on character liking. Our first experiment used a televised series (House of Cards) as the narrative context, and the second study employed a written narrative. In both experiments, versions featuring the main character speaking directly to the viewer/reader resulted in heightened feelings of perceived interacti…
When less is more and more is less
According to the cognitive perspective, the generation of counterarguments is a key obstacle to persuasion. Following the metacognitive view, however, the experience of difficulty that accompanies increased counterarguing may benefit persuasion. These two contrasting predictions were evaluated in two experiments (N1 = 392; N2 = 210) by manipulating the instructions of thought-listing tasks following exposure to a testimonial that advocated for Ph…
What I Watch and Who I Am
This study examines the relationship between various measures of exposure to and preference for Israeli television (as opposed to imported foreign programs) and the degree of national pride. Survey results (n = 408) show that over and above strict demographic, ideological, and general television viewing control measures, viewers who preferred Israeli channels and news programs did not feel more proud of being Israeli. However, the proportion of I…
Rebelde Way in Israel
This study examines parents' perceptions of the influence of a youth-targeted telenovela on their own versus other children using the framework of the third person effect. Survey data (N = 132) demonstrate that parents perceived the show to have greater impact on other children than on their own. Regression analyses show that parents who thought that the show had an influence on their own children tended to monitor their child's TV viewing. In co…
Global and Local Viewing Experiences in the Age of Multichannel Television
This article takes a critical look at the discourse of globalization in the realm of television, suggesting that the dichotomy between national and global television is unduly simplistic. It proposes that a better understanding of how global television content enters local broadcasting is achieved by examining three variables: who selects the content and for whom, the proportion of local to foreign content, and how foreign content is adapted to l…
Sex Differences in Pleasure from Television Texts
Data collected from 251 Israeli undergraduates are used to explore sex differences in reactions to the television show Ally McBeal. Female viewers found the show more relevant and liked the show more than did their male counterparts. The findings are discussed within the framework of reception theory, feminist theories, and the impact of cultural contexts on the interpretation of television texts

Ten reasons to oppose the criminalization of HIV exposure or transmission
Recent years have seen a push to apply criminal law to HIV exposure and transmission, often driven by the wish to respond to concerns about the ongoing rapid spread of HIV in many countries. Particularly in Africa, some groups have begun to advocate for criminalization in response to the serious phenomenon of women being infected with HIV through sexual violence or by partners who do not reveal their HIV diagnoses to them. While these issues must…

On an Alleged Non‐Equivalence Between Dispositions and Disjunctive Properties
This paper shows that grounded dispositions are necessarily coextensive with disjunctive properties. It responds to several objections against this thesis, and then shows how to construct a disjunctive property necessarily coextensive with an arbitrary grounded disposition.

'You have dark eyes. Gleams there that promise darkness'. Spanish poetry is astonishing in its richness and variety. This anthology covers the two great flowerings of Spanish verse: the first, which lasted to the end of the seventeenth century, and second, from the mid-nineteenth century through the Spanish Civil War, to the present. This third edition has been revised to represent more fully the poetry of resistance that emerged during the Franc…

To examine how various aspects of attentional functioning are affected by autonomic self-regulation procedures, this study compared the effect of two treatment programs (EMG and thermal biofeedback used in conjunction with various somatic and cognitive relaxation/self-regulation strategies, and Benson's Relaxation Response procedure) and a Waiting List control group for essential hypertensive adults on three, perhaps overlapping, attentional dime…
Thinking as a Narcissistic Resistance
Verbal thought occupies a preeminent place in psychoanalytic theory and practice. The patient keeps out of conscious awareness, ultimately, what is unrepresentable, therefore unthinkable. The analyst helps the patient find ways to think about the unthinkable, both to reconstruct the past and free himself from it. The patient's role in this process involves a challenge comparable to the analyst's, in balancing and shifting between free association…

On the control of automatic processes
Traditional views of automaticity are in need of revision. For example, automaticity often has been treated as an all-or-none phenomenon, and traditional theories have held that automatic processes are independent of attention. Yet recent empirical data suggest that automatic processes are continuous, and furthermore are subject to attentional control. A model of attention is presented to address these issues. Within a parallel distributed proces…

Social affiliation and the achievement of ontological security through interpersonal and mass communication
Following the proposal of Rubin & Rubin (1985) that scholars turn their attention to the study of the intersection between mass and interpersonal communication, this paper reviews literature comparing different forms and contexts of communication. Underlying the motivations for both mediated and face‐to‐face communication is a basic need for social affiliation. The need for social affiliation is so central for communication because it stems from,…
