Anxiety responses to subliminal experience of mild stress
Two groups of undergraduates ( n = 14 in each) matched for level of trait anxiety participated in the experiment. One group (E) was presented with 20 ‘emotional’ words 10 per cent below detection threshold while the other group (N) was presented with 20 emotionally neutral words under the same conditions. Ratings of seven psychological variables were taken before and after stimulation and two psychophysiological measures, heart and respiration ra…
The influence of social desirability on the Ai3 measure of anal character
The probability of item endorsement in the Ai3 test of anal character was found to be significantly related to item social desirability, but total scores on the test were unrelated to measures of social desirability. It is concluded that the test is adequately free of social desirability effects and that the experimental findings strengthen claims for the construct validity of the Ai3
Cognitive and affective aspects of boredom
It is argued that previous research may have been mistaken in assuming that monotony in sensory stimulation is a necessary and sufficient cause of boredom. Five investigations are reported which used personal construct theory and repertory grid techniques to investigate three hypotheses: (1) that boredom is associated with subjective monotony, (2) that boredom is associated with a high degree of frustration and (3) that boredom arises when stimul…
Towards a model of boredom
On the basis of the authors' own research it is suggested boredom may be viewed as having cognitive and affective components. The cognitive component is subjective monotony and the affective component is a high level of frustration. An attempt is made to integrate the evidence supporting this view of boredom with other evidence from the literature to present an integrated model of boredom in which the roles of personality, situational and task ch…

Extraversion and Variety‐seeking in a Monotonous Task
It is hypothesized on the basis of Eysenck's theory of extraversion that extraverts should build more variety into their performance at a monotonous task than introverts. The performance of a group of extraverts ( n = 16) and a group of introverts (n = 16) on a simple repetitive task was compared. Comparisons were made on two measures of response variety: firstly, a simple measure of number of alternations among possible responses and, secondly, …
Asian Influenza in Pregnancy and Congenital Defects
Influenza caused by the Asian strain of virus A first became epidemic in Great Britain in the latter half of the year 1957. Available statistics show that it spread rapidly and widely, affecting the southern parts of the country rather later than the northern. Most of the strains isolated from patients through out the country were shown to be of the Asian variety (McDonald, 1958; Ministry of Health, 1960). In a detailed inquiry into its incidence…
Virus Diseases in Pregnancy and Congenital Defects
To determine the probability that an illness of the mother during her pregnancy will give rise to a congenital malformation in the infant, essentially demands a prospective method of inquiry. In other words, the attack of illness in the pregnant woman must first observed and medically diagnosed, and the condition of the child born to her must subse quently noted. The retrospective approach, i.e. noting first the congenital deformity in the new-bo…
Lung Cancer and Other Causes of Death in Relation to Smoking
Smoking and Carcinoma of the Lung
DNA repair is crucial for genome stability in the developing cortex, as somatic de novo mutations cause neurological disorders. However, how DNA repair contributes to neuronal development is largely unknown. To address this issue, we studied the spatiotemporal roles of DNA polymerase β (Polβ), a key enzyme in DNA base excision repair pathway, in the developing cortex using distinct forebrain-specific conditional knock-out mice, Emx1-Cre/Polβfl/fl…
