In the latter half of 2008 a still-unidentified hoaxer created a fictional soccer player named Masal Bugduv. Initially the subject of blog forum posts made by the hoaxer, Bugduv climbed the feeding chain of European football media by going from an insertion in a Wikipedia page, to comments in forums, to blog posts, and then – after making the leap to more mainstream media – to a football magazine and finally to the ‘Football’s Top 50 Rising Stars…

Distraction and relaxation have been controlled in previous studies as possible mechanisms for the effectiveness of mirthful laughter in coping with pain and discomfort. The purpose of this study is to control expectation of benefit from laughter. Discomfort thresholds for a blood pressure cuff at the upper dominant arm were recorded immediately before and after exposure to either a humorous or a relaxation video. Instructional sets led participa…

One hundred participants were asked to list 5 cues that they use to determine their level of stress. The responses were tabulated, and the 25 most frequent responses were retained for further analyses. A sorting task was used to assess the relationships among cues, and a similarity matrix was developed from the responses. This similarity matrix was subjected to cluster analysis. The results yielded a taxonomy of cues to stress

Their responses clearly support the p…

Results indicate that when a product identification decision was primed by a correct spokesperson name, subjects were able to identify product names as such significantly faster than when the decision was unprimed or misprimed. Based on the results of the latency experiment, characteristics of successful spokespersons were identified using multiple regress…
