'Lina Koppel' 'Erkin Asutay' 'Gustav Tinghög'] Research has demonstrated that two types of affect have an influence on judgment and decision making: incidental affect (affect unrelated to a judgment or decision such as a mood) and integral affect (affect that is part of the perceiver’s internal representation of the…

Affect is a fundamental aspect of the human mind. An increasing number of experiments attempt to examine the influence of affect on other psychological phenomena. To accomplish this research, it is necessary to experimentally modify participants' affective states. In the present experiment, we compared the efficacy of…

—Social psychology researchers have, traditionally, focused on the construct of thinking rather than on feeling. Since the beginning of the 21st century, social science researchers have, however, increasingly explored the effects of affect. Their work has repeatedly recognized that affects play a crucial role in…

—Due to its expressivity, natural language is paramount for explicit and implicit affective state communication among humans. The same linguistic inquiry (e.g. How are you?) might induce responses with different affects depending on the affective state of the conversational partner(s) and the context of the…

Human communication includes information, opinions, and reactions. Reactions are often captured by the affective-messages in written as well as verbal communications. While there has been work in affect modeling and to some extent affective content generation, the area of affective word distributions in not well…

Affective stimuli can influence immediate reactions as well as spontaneous behaviors. Much evidence for such influence comes from studies of facial expressions. However, it is unclear whether these effects hold for other affective stimuli, and how the amount of stimulus processing changes the nature of the influence.…

In the verbal affective priming paradigm, the properties of a subliminally presented stimulus alter the interpretation of neutral target stimulus. In the experiment reported here, we tested the role of four factors (valence, origin, arousing properties and subjective significance) that determine the emotional reactions…

Humans routinely integrate affective information from multiple sources. For example, we rarely interpret an emotional facial expression devoid of context. Here, we describe the neural correlates of an affective computation that involves integrating multiple sources, by leveraging the ambiguity and subtle feature-based…

In creativity support and computational co-creativity contexts, the task of discovering appropriate prompts for use with text-to-image generative models remains difficult. In many cases the creator wishes to evoke a certain impression with the image, but the task of conferring that succinctly in a text prompt poses a…

A growing body of research in natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) is investigating human-like knowledge learned or encoded in the word embeddings from large language models. This is a step towards understanding what knowledge language models capture that resembles human…

'Antonio Olivera La Rosa' 'Enric Munar' 'Luis\xa0M Martinez'] We examined the influence of affective priming on the appreciation of abstract artworks using an evaluative priming task. Facial primes (showing happiness, disgust or no emotion) were presented under brief (Stimulus Onset Asynchrony, SOA = 20ms) and extended…

Suboptimal affective priming paradigm Contemporary psychology does not question the existence of psychological processes that operate outside human conscious awareness, such as implicit stereotypes (Greenwald and Banaji, [10]; Nosek et al., [29]), implicit attitudes (Greenwald and Banaji, [10]), automatically activated…

'Suzanne Oosterwijk' 'Angel Blanch'] Proactive people take initiative when others do not and persist in improving their environment or themselves. Although scholars assume that how we feel influences how proactive we are, there is no experimental research yet to support this. This experiment therefore tests whether…

Socio-affective touch communication conveys a vast amount of information about emotions and intentions in social contexts. In spite of the complexity of the socio-affective touch expressions we use daily, previous studies addressed only a few aspects of social touch mainly focusing on hedonics, such as stroking…

Affect control theory (ACT) is a mathematical model of culture-based action that relies on culturally-grounded model specifications to predict behaviors, emotions, and new cultural meanings that arise from local interactions. The theory has been used to make successful predictions about interpersonal social behavior…

Neuroimaging studies have shown carry-over effects on brain activity and connectivity following both emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigate the functional dynamics of such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs). Using the precuneus as seed…

Memory of emotional information often depends on the current mood and the dominant affective state. For example, studies show that people tend to recall emotional information of valence that is congruent with their affective traits. However, not much is known about whether this tendency is captured by metacognitive…

Schistosomiasis is a disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide, but its treatment relies on a single agent, praziquantel. To investigate new avenues for schistosomiasis control, we have conducted the first systematic analysis of bromodomain-containing proteins (BCPs) in a causative species, Schistosoma…

The present EEG study with 32 healthy participants investigated whether affective knowledge about a person influences the visual awareness of their face, additionally considering the impact of facial appearance. Faces differing in perceived trustworthiness based on appearance were associated with negative or neutral…

Although the general outlines of pleasant touch perception and C low threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs) have been sketched out, the current extent of knowledge still pales in comparison to our understanding of other neural pathways and somatosensory modalities, e.g., pain and nociceptive C-fibres. This project…

Polyelectrolyte gels can generate electric potentials under mechanical deformation. While the underlying mechanism of such response is often attributed to the changes in counterion-condensation levels or alterations in the ionic conditions in the pervaded volume of the hydrogel, exact molecular origins are still…

Dopamine is a hormone that is released by the adrenal gland and influences motor control and motivation. Dopamine is known to have 5 receptors which are D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5, which are further categorized into 2 families: D1 family and D2 family. The D1 family is known to play a role in motivation and motor control…

In the last decade, there has been a shift in research, clinical development, and commercial activity to exploit the many roles of RNA in physiology for use in medicine. With the rapid success in the development of lipid-RNA nanoparticles for mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and with several approved RNA-based drugs, RNA…

Cyclic peptides hold significant potential as disruptors of challenging targets such as protein-protein interactions, but their poor membrane permeability often limits their use for intracellular targets. Inspired by nature, we explored the introduction of aromatic groups in the peptide backbone to address this…
