Priming

present study was conducted among groups of university students to determine whether self-efficacy had an effect on social loafing. Each of the 80 participants were split into four conditions: collective (achievement priming or no priming) and coactive (achievement priming or no priming), where individuals in the primed conditions were asked to recall their greatest achievement. Each of the participants answered a question about their confidence level and then were told whether their group…

The aim of this study is to investigate how thinking about money can affect your thoughts and behaviour. Specifically, it explores the effects of money priming or money activation in two experiments. Experiment 1 focused on the level of support for government goods and service programmes, while experiment 2 focused on the privatisation of these public goods and services. The key concepts of this study are that those primed with money have less pro-social thoughts and a tendency to have more…

Intravenous therapy is commonly used to administer chemotherapy medication, other medications and to replace fluids for patients unable to ingest or sustain the fluids in their body (Lemone et al. 2014, pg.215). The skill of priming an intra venous line and monitoring the flow rate is important and a skill I need to be comfortable with and perfect so I can perform it in a clinical setting. As seen in the video I identified the patient, IV site and fluid and checked it on the order form. This is…

temporal lobe structures, and related neural circuitry, show impaired performance on direct tests of memory for example, free recall, recognition, etc. Memory for recent data can also be studied by means of indirect measures of memory such as repetition priming. A large body of literature documents that patients with…

Theory Priming Leonard Berkowitz and his associates did a series of experiments to show that when violent people watched media violence, they were “more likely to behave aggressively” (Sparks, 2013). Berkowitz and his colleague Eunkyung Jo realized…

Subliminal Messaging: What Can Advertisers Really Do? Thelma Oates University of Central Florida Subliminal Messaging: What Can Advertisers Really Do? In 1957, James Vicary started the ultimate controversy of subliminal messaging in advertising. He claimed that he increased the sale of soda and popcorn within a movie theater using subliminal messages. This bold claim was never replicated and years later he even admitted that it was a hoax, (Verwijmeren, Karremans, Bernritter,…

Psychology, 71, 230 – 244. There is two stages of priming involved. First, the given words prime thoughts of elderly, which in turn prime an elderly-related behaviour, walking slowly. These priming effects occur without our awareness. Notably, when questioned afterwards, the students did not recognise that their behaviour changed after being exposed to the words, and they even claimed that what they did could not have been influenced by those words. This priming phenomenon is now known as…

Our brain is not equipped to dealing with the vast amount of sensory information that we are exposed to in everyday life, as a consequence information must be selected (Munneke, Stigchel, & Theeuwes, 2008). Researchers are often interested in what factors determine what information is selected. A question that has drawn considerable interest in cognitive research is whether perception of feelings, thoughts or behaviour is conditional on conscious awareness. A considerable amount of literature…

Mikulincer, Shaver, Omri, and Nitzberg (2005) study links between attachment security, altruism, and care giving aiming to theorize altruism relative to Bowlby’s attachment theory (1969/1982) which treats altruism as part of care giving. Care giving is an inborn scheme of reactions to others needs, evolved from early emotional caregiver relations and influenced by attachment security. Networks of expectations, behaviours, and emotions related to socialisation lead to secure, anxious or avoidant…
