| the psychology of social chess and the evolution of attribution mechanisms: explaining the fundamental attribution error. | theory of mind is the field devoted to understanding how organisms discern the mental states of others. because mental states are not directly observable, they can only be inferred from observable features of the actor (such as behavior) and the situational context that the actor is in. social psychologists, who study theory of mind processes under the rubric of attribution research, have shown that people often make a logical error of inference: the "fundamental attribution error" (fae) is the ... | 2001 | 11182572 |
| some shortcomings of long-term working memory. | within the framework of their long term working memory theory, ericsson and kintsch (1995) propose that experts rapidly store information in long-term memory through two mechanisms: elaboration of long-term memory patterns and schemas and use of retrieval structures. they use chess players' memory as one of their most compelling sources of empirical evidence. in this paper, i show that evidence from chess memory, far from supporting their theory, limits its generality. evidence from other domain ... | 2000 | 11104178 |
| experiences of women with breast cancer: exchanging social support over the chess computer network. | using an existential-phenomenological approach, this paper describes how women with breast cancer experience the giving and receiving of social support in a computer-mediated context. women viewed their experiences with the computer-mediated support group as an additional and unique source of support in facing their illness. anonymity within the support group fostered equalized participation and allowed women to communicate in ways that would have been more difficult in a face-to-face context. t ... | 2016 | 11010346 |
| assessment of eating behaviours and attitudes to eating, dieting and body image in pre-adolescent swedish girls: a one-year follow-up. | a 1-y follow-up of fifty 8-y-old swedish girls was performed to assess changes in eating attitudes and dieting behaviour. individual structured interviews using the children's eating attitudes test (cheat) and body image silhouettes were used. the question, "have you ever tried to lose weight?" was employed to discriminate dieters from non-dieters. dieting behaviours according to the cheat increased over the follow-up period. | 2000 | 10976846 |
