Perceiving Covid-19 as a Black Swan
The black swan paradox
In his 2007 bestseller The Black Swan, Nassim Taleb defined a “black swan event” by three criteria: it is rare and unpredictable, it has an extreme impact and it is retrospectively considered as wholly predictable (while it was not predicted). Events like the 2004 Pacific Tsunami and 9/11 attacks fit this model. Many have labeled the Covid-19 pandemic as a black swan, given its unexpected global devastation. However, Taleb himself rejected this c…
Neuroticism predicts national vaccination rates across 56 countries
Quite strikingly, there is significant variation in Covid-19 vaccine coverage around the world. Some countries do not progress from around 2-3% while others are close to 100% coverage. In addition to some already known economic, health and sociodemographic predictors, the present research is interested in emotional factors that may predict a significant part of this cross-country variation. We examined the personality factor Neuroticism, which co…
Is heart rate variability biofeedback useful in children and adolescents? A systematic review
Congruent bodily arousal promotes the constructive recognition of emotional words
Embodiment of emotion concepts
Theories of embodied cognition hold that higher cognitive processes operate on perceptual symbols and that concept use involves partial reactivations of the sensory-motor states that occur during experience with the world. On this view, the processing of emotion knowledge involves a (partial) reexperience of an emotion, but only when access to the sensory basis of emotion knowledge is required by the task. In 2 experiments, participants judged em…
