▼ A large amount of evidence from psychology and economics shows that individuals' behaviors systematically deviate from the standard economic theory which assumes full consciousness. In order to study the limitations in consciousness, I investigate human cognition and consciousness theoretically and experimentally in the four chapters of this thesis. In the first chapter, building on the works of Carrillo and Mariotti (2000) and Benabou and Tirole (2002), I formulate an intra-person, multiple-self model of how motivated memory including amnesia and delusion may relate to the individual's degree of present bias. I posit the notion of (non-)conscious choice in which the individual habituates into being forgetful or delusional to enhance the motivation for one's future selves. In equilibrium, the model endogenizes the individual's state of motivated memory and particularly delusion resulting from a high level of present bias. In chapter two, I extend Benabou and Tirole (2002)'s model by incorporating the possibility of interaction between players on cooperation to study the relation between memory bias, self-confidence and social behavior. In the third chapter, I design a controlled incentivized experiment using the Ravens IQ test to test the theory introduced in the first chapter. I find overall support for its implications except for the significant incidence of positive confabulation. This leads me to extend my basic model to capture this possibility as an equilibrium outcome. In the last chapter, I conduct experiment to study different measures of cognitive ability, compare the culture and gender difference in cognition, and test the relations between cognitive ability and some other decision making traits, like time preference, risk preference, etc.

▼ This exploratory-descriptive study, using multiple case studies, investigated the self-esteem, coping and psychology of infertility of a sample of individuals who have received infertility treatment at a privately managed health care unit. Infertility is a complex condition associated with the inability to conceive a child, frequently manifesting itself as a result of various biological factors. A literature review indicated that being on Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment significantly increases the stress in an individual. In an attempt to gain insight into the way patients undergoing infertility treatment find the strength to complete their treatment cycles, and to endure and overcome the pressures associated therewith, in order to continue their lives – in spite of a negative treatment/pregnancy result, the researcher found it necessary to investigate the self-esteem, coping and the psychology of patients undergoing infertility treatment. An exploratory descriptive research design was used and the participants were chosen by means of a non-probability purposive sampling procedure. The participants were given a package of questionnaires to complete under the supervision of the group facilitator and researcher, prior to, as well as after the intervention. The assessment consisted of a biographical questionnaire and two standardised paper and pencil measures. The participants’ self-esteem was explored using James Battle’s (1981) Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventory; while the coping resources were explored using Hammer and Marting’s (1988) Coping Resource Inventory (CRI). Although these data were not analysable, due to the small sample size, it was utilised in a qualitative manner to support the findings from the qualitative data. The data were also gathered from the participants via a
psychological intervention programme in the format of three focus group sessions. All the qualitative results were analysed, according to Tesch’s model of content analysis. The general finding was that the period of infertility treatment is experienced as both difficult and challenging by individuals, and that there is immense healing in the sharing of one’s narrative with other infertility patients. It also surfaced that selfesteem,
especially one’s feelings of worth, is most affected by a diagnosis of infertility, as well as by going through the roller coaster of the emotions associated with the treatment and monthly cycle of infertility. It was evident from the narratives told by the participants that every domain of one’s self-esteem is affected by a diagnosis of infertility, and that the biggest challenge in maintaining a positive selfesteem seemed to be in finding a balance between one’s real self and one’s ideal self. Furthermore, this study found that the challenge related to coping for the participants in this study was to present a coherent life narrative to the ‘world’, despite intense feelings of being misunderstood by others, and being faced with the discourse of infertility, as part of one’s life script.…

▼ This study examines the role of emotional awareness in the retirement transition. Retirement is viewed as one of the transitions in later life and has psychological consequences. It is an objective development and social-psychological transformation that is related to physical and psychological well-being. Research has shown that emotional awareness can have an impact on the retirement transition. A correlational research survey design was used for this study to determine and establish the role of emotional awareness, preparation and emotional responses in the retirement transition. Using a five-point Likert Scale, respondents were asked to score their responses to twenty-eight items. The questionnaire was distributed to retirees on the data bases of two financial companies that manage retirement funds. The SurveyMonkey application was used to distribute the survey to one financial company’s data base, and email was used for the other. Statistics such as means, relationships between factors, Cronbach’s Alpha, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings of this study demonstrate inconclusive evidence of emotional awareness in retirement. In addition to this, there were no significant findings regarding preparation for retirement or emotional response to retirement which indicates a neutral attitude to preparation and retirement, on average. There is a need for further future studies that include a more balanced sample representation of men and women, a comparative study based on different cultures to determine if differences exist in the experience of emotions in the retirement transition, and a field study in retirement homes and villages to corroborate the findings of this study.

▼ Six experiments were conducted in order to examine
the role of movement specific reinvestment in performance of a
range of tasks of varying complexity under different performance
contexts. The first experiment investigated the role of movement
specific reinvestment in performance of a fundamental laparoscopic
skill under time pressure. It was found that individuals with a
lower propensity for movement specific reinvestment were able to
meet task demands by performing faster under time pressure than
individuals with a higher propensity for movement specific
reinvestment. Although movement specific reinvestment is often
treated as a uni-dimensional construct, it is comprised of two
dimensions of conscious processing; movement self-consciousness and
conscious motor processing. These dimensions appear to exert a
differential influence on performance in different contexts. The
second experiment therefore investigated the differential influence
of the two dimensions of movement specific reinvestment on
performance of a fundamental laparoscopic skill early and later in
practice and on performance of a more complex, cross-handed
laparoscopy task. Movement self-consciousness was found to play a
more dominant role early and later in practice of a relatively
simple, fundamental, laparoscopic skill than conscious motor
processing, which played a more dominant role in performance of a
more complex, cross-handed laparoscopic skill. The third and fourth
experiments examined the differential influence of the two
dimensions of movement specific reinvestment on a complex
golf-putting skill early and later in practice (Experiment 3) and
under low- and high-anxiety conditions (Experiment 4). Experiments
3 and 4 also examined the kinematic mechanisms underlying the
influence of the two dimensions on putting performance. Findings
from Experiment 3 revealed that movement self-consciousness and
conscious motor processing positively influenced putting
performance early in practice, when learners were consciously
engaged in the control of movements. However, later in practice
movement self-consciousness alone positively influenced putting
performance. Analysis of kinematic measures suggested that reduced
variability of both impact velocity and putter face angle at impact
mediated the positive influence of both movement self-consciousness
and conscious motor processing on putting performance. Findings
from Experiment 4 revealed that movement self-consciousness
positively influenced performance in the low-anxiety condition (and
appeared to reduce variability of impact velocity), but not in the
high-anxiety condition. It was argued that the attention demanding
nature of anxiety (Eysenck & Calvo, 1992) potentially subdued
the influence of movement self-consciousness under high-anxiety
conditions. The fifth experiment confirmed this proposition as the
positive influence of movement self-consciousness on quiet standing
performance was no longer evident when an attention demanding
dual-task was performed concurrently with a primary quiet standing…

▼ Previous bilingual studies showed reduced
hemispheric asymmetry in visual tasks such as face perception in
bilinguals compared with monolinguals, which suggested that
hemispheric asymmetry in visual tasks could be modulated by
experience in reading one or two languages. Here I examined whether
differences in hemispheric asymmetry in visual tasks can also be
observed in bilinguals who have different language backgrounds. I
compared the behavior of three language groups: (1) English
monolinguals, who acquire only one alphabetic language, (2)
European-English bilinguals, who know two alphabetic languages, and
(3) Chinese-English bilinguals, who master an alphabetic language
and a logographic language; in three tachistoscopic tasks: (1)
English word sequential matching task, (2) Intact-altered face
judgment task, and (3) face sequential matching task. The results
showed that European-English bilinguals had a stronger right visual
field (RVF)/ left hemispheric (LH) advantage in the English word
sequential matching task than English monolinguals and
Chinese-English bilinguals, suggesting that different language
learning experiences can influence how visual words are processed
in the brain. However, the results showed no group difference
between the left visual field (LVF)/ right hemisphere (RH)
advantage in the intact-altered face judgment task and the face
sequential matching task. These results suggested a modulation of
language experience on visual word processing but not on face
processing. In addition, I showed that the hemispheric asymmetry in
visual word processing could be accounted for by a computational
model that implements a theory of hemispheric asymmetry in
perception (i.e. the Double Filtering by Frequency theory, Ivry
& Robertson, 1998); the modeling data suggested that this
lateralization difference in visual word processing may be due to
both the difference in participants’ vocabulary size and the
difference in word-to-sound mapping between alphabetic and
logographic languages.

▼ This study investigates the effect of the
presentation format of bonus scheme on investors’ compensation- and
investment-related judgments. I propose that the format in which
numerical information is presented affects investors’ judgments
through the readability and halo effects. I assess these two
mechanisms and their interaction effect by comparing bonus scheme
presented in a table format versus in a formula format. The table
format is more readable than the formula format. High readability
increases the chance of a bonus scheme being approved by investors.
However, the formula format looks more scientific than the table
format. The favorable halo generated by the formula format
(relative to the table format) can positively influence investors’
voting decisions on the bonus scheme.
I predict that high
readability (versus low readability) and scientific appearance
(versus a less scientific appearance) both positively affect
investors’ evaluations of a bonus scheme. I also predict an
interaction effect between outcome favorability (target-beaten
versus target-missed) and bonus scheme presentation format (table
versus formula format). When the actual performance beats the
performance targets, investors are more likely to approve bonus
awards that are presented in a formula format than in a table
format, as predicted by the halo effect, and the readability effect
is less likely to have an effect in this context. However, when the
performance targets are missed, there is no significant difference
in investors’ approval ratings for the different presentation
formats. In this setting, the readability effect predicts a higher
approval rating for the table format than the formula format,
whereas the halo effect predicts the opposite result. The two
effects are likely to cancel each other out.
This study provides
evidence of how investors’ interpretations vary with the numerical
information presentation format. It extends compensation disclosure
research by exploring the information communication effectiveness
of different presentation formats. It extends the halo effect
research in psychology by demonstrating the halo effect in
numerical information interpretation. The findings extend our
understanding of investors’ decision-making by showing how the
presentation format affects investors’ evaluations of and voting
decisions on executive compensation scheme.

▼ The concept of "flow" as it relates to performance was
first introduced and described in the 1970's by Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi. When experiencing flow during a particular task,
an individual is focused on and consumed with the task the
individual is currently involved in. In sport and physical
activity, flow has been related to increased enjoyment and
performance. Previous research on flow in physical activity has
primarily focused on elite level athletes. However, it is expected
that flow can be experienced by anyone during almost any activity.
The purpose of this research is to observe flow in recreationally
active individuals and attempt to identify potential personal
predictors of flow such as age and gender. The results of this
study will provide insight into factors that influence flow as well
as inform future research in the field. The results demonstrated
that the recreational participants (n=144) experienced a
significantly greater level of flow than the population means
provided for the Flow State Scale (FSS-2), t (143) = 12.79, p =
.000 this is an exciting finding; showing that recreationally
active individuals are a viable sample for conducting future
research on flow. Ages of participants (18-61) was not observed to
be an insignificant predictor to experiencing flow p < .05.
There was however, a significant difference in flow as a function
of gender, f (1,142) = 1.65, p < .05. When looking at the gender
effects of flow it was observed that not all of the 9 dimensions
were significant: Concentration, Loss of Self Consciousness, Time
Transformation, and the Autotelic Experience dimensions each had
insignificant differences between gender and flow, male
participants had significantly greater level of global flow, and in
the other five dimensions: Challenge-Skill Balance,
Action-Awareness Merging, Clear Goals, Unambiguous Feedback, Sense
of Control. The results of this study may be used to design future
testing methods in flow research, designed to isolate the
experience of the unique dimensions of flow. Additionally these
findings can inform program designs looking into researching flow,
in that flow can be observed significantly in recreationally active
adults of almost any age after an acute rigorous group activity.
Future research could aim to reproduce these findings at different
recreational group events, or even in the lab setting, and further
observe the effects of the nine dimensions of flow.; Age, Flow,

▼ This study examined the commonalities and the differences between creativity and the
schizophrenia spectrum. The variables measured as potential commonalities and differences were
creativity, schizotypy, cognitive inhibition, spatial ability, balancing skills, positive and negative
presence, absorption, mystical experiences, childhood abuse, and neuroticism. Three community groups
were recruited, consisting of 31 artists, 10 people with schizophrenia, and 31 comparisons matched for
gender and age with the artists. A larger student group consisting of 102 students was also recruited in
order to examine the correlations among the same variables within a larger, more normative, group.
The largest commonality between the artist and the schizophrenic groups, who represented the
extreme end of the schizophrenia spectrum, was the propensity to mystical experiences. The greatest
differences between the artist and the schizophrenic groups were that the artists were higher in creativity,
performed better on spatial abilities, had better balance, had more positive states of presence, and were
lower in neuroticism than the schizophrenic group. In the student group, creativity was correlated with
spatial ability, positive presence, absorption, and mystical experiences. In addition, creativity was
significantly related to two facets of schizotypy, unusual experiences and impulsive nonconformity. In
other words, students high in certain facets of schizotypy, who may share certain characteristics with
those who have schizophrenia, are higher in creativity, but people who are on the extreme end of the
schizophrenia spectrum, who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, are not.
The differences between the artist and schizophrenic groups on spatial ability, balance, sense of
presence, and neuroticism may help to determine whether mystical experiences help to integrate creative
work or destabilize and disorganize the sense of self. It may be that mystical experiences can be used
more positively by the creative individuals than people with schizophrenia, in that artists and people high
in creativity were higher in positive traits such as positive presence and lower on negative variables such
as neuroticism, and introvertive anhedonia.

▼ Pathological exercise, or exercise that is pursued in a rigid, compulsive, or extreme fashion, is omnipresent in eating disorder psychopathology. Despite this, minimal guidance exists in current treatment manuals for shaping pathological exercise behavior, which has led clinicians to prescribe total abstinence until treatment concludes. The purpose of this study was to better characterize pathological exercise using two relevant descriptive constructs – emotion regulation and motivation – to increase the specificity with which both pathological and healthy exercise is described, to ultimately inform treatment interventions. The present study aimed to identify types of motivation associated with exercise in a sample of college women (n=200) and a sample of adult women in the community with eating disorder psychopathology (n=211). Latent profile analysis was used to characterize homogenous groups of individuals based on exercise motivation. These profiles were then compared on levels of eating and general psychopathology and emotion regulation difficulties. Three profiles emerged describing a sedentary, athlete, and eating disordered group in the first sample, and five profiles describing a sedentary, athlete, AN-like, weight loss, and healthy group were identified in the second sample. In both samples, the athlete group exhibited intrinsic motivation for exercise and scored significantly lower than the other groups on levels of general psychopathology, while the eating disordered groups displayed identified and extrinsic motivation for exercise and scored significantly higher than the other groups on body dissatisfaction and cognitive restraint. Findings indicate that motivation style may be a salient factor in defining pathological exercise and may also therefore be a clinically useful treatment target. Future studies should investigate the dynamic nature of motivation longitudinal throughout the course of illness.

▼ Background: Cognitive problems such as forgetfulness, concentration difficulty, and inattention are commonly reported among women in or around the menopause transition. However, objective neurocognitive data do not consistently corroborate subjective cognitive complaints, nor do they effectively distinguish women in different reproductive stages. Further assessments must be conducted to determine the specific cognitive changes occurring around the menopause transition in comparison to other reproductive stages (e.g., late postmenopause). Furthermore, non-pharmacological methods for addressing reported cognitive difficulties should be explored. Aims: The primary study aim (Aim 1) was to evaluate cross-sectional differences in subjective and objective cognitive function among women in perimenopause (irregular menstruation to 1 year after the final menstrual period), early postmenopause (1-5 years after the final menstrual period) and late menopause (> 5 years after the final menstrual period). The secondary aim (Aim 2) was to compare changes in cognitive function and physical activity among women who completed a six-month physical activity intervention. Hypotheses: It was hypothesized that women in perimenopause would score lower on tests of attention and working memory than women in postmenopause. It was also hypothesized that increases in physical activity would be significantly associated with improvements on attention and working memory tasks. Procedure: Forty-five women age 40 to 63 (mean age = 53.6 years) were recruited for a six-month, group-based intervention designed to help midlife women increase sustained aerobic activity. Neurocognitive and physical activity assessments occurred at baseline and 6 months. Participants were given weekly exercise prescriptions, gradually working toward 250 minutes of MVPA per week. Measures: The following neurocognitive domains were evaluated using clinician-administered tests: Global cognition (MoCA) and intelligence (WTAR), attention and working memory (Letter N-Back computer test; Digit Span), verbal learning and memory (Selective Reminding Test), verbal fluency (COWA), and executive function (Trails A and B). Physical activity was quantified by seven-day ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer readings. Statistical Analyses: Regression and ANOVA tests were performed (using the GLM procedure in SPSS), in addition to Pearson’s r correlations. Results: At baseline, women in early postmenopause showed significantly worse verbal memory performance than women in perimenopause or late postmenopause (p < .05), controlling for age, mood, and sleep quality. At six months, women in early postmenopause showed significantly greater improvement in verbal memory than women in perimenopause (p = .048). Reproductive stage also significantly predicted changes in verbal fluency after controlling for covariates. Self-reported improvement in concentration was also significantly associated with improved verbal fluency scores at 6 months (p = .004). While physical activity was not significantly associated…

▼ It was hypothesized that people who like rock music will be more enthusiastic in their mood responses
to all types of music than people who like classical music. The mood responses of the rock group will be greater (in group percentage) than the mood responses of an equally numbered classical group. The subjects included 115 students enrolled in introductory psychology classes, fulfilling a course requirement at California State University, Sacramento, during the fall semester of 1975. There were 63 female and 52 male subjects, with an age range of 16 to 55 years, and a mean age of 21 years. A 34-minute presentation of 6 musical selections, 3-classical and 3 rock pieces, was used. The
music was played on a Rek-O-Kui turntable, a Fisher Receiver, and an ADC speaker. The 3 classical pieces were played first, followed by the 3 rock pieces. These selections were chosen to represent a cross
section of musical types. All songs were played in their entirety. A 3-minute interval of silence followed each recording to give the subjects time to record their response to the music.

▼ Affective regulation is fundamental to mental
well-being. The dysregulation of affective functioning can lead to
an array of psychological disorders leading to the incurrence of
enormous costs both socio-economically and in terms of the
collective psychological well-being of societies. Therefore, a
pressing need exists for cost-effective behavioral strategies that
help to prevent or perhaps intervene in affective dysregulation in
order to better the overall mental health in society. With aging
populations worldwide, it is well documented that age-related
degenerative changes in the brain cause cognitive decline and
affective dysregulation. Here, we propose a timely project that
examines how a behavioral strategy— meditation—may help to promote
the psychological wellbeing of older people. Meditation is a form
of mental practice originating from Sino-Hindu cultures. In recent
years, meditation has emerged as a popular practice amongst people
from various ethnicities and cultures, largely due to its
convenience. Hence, it has become one of the most rigorously
studied behavioral strategies due to its promising potential to
impact affective regulation.
This thesis contains the report of
a longitudinal study on the affective effect of an eight-week
meditation training on a group of 43 older participants randomly
assigned to the meditation (n=23; 16 females and 7 males; age: M =
64.78 years, s.d. = 2.71) and active control (relaxation training)
(n=21; 13 females and 8 males; age: M = 64.62 years, s.d. = 2.22)
groups. These older participants were tracked from before they
started the training (pre-training measurement) to when they
completed the 24 training sessions (post-training measurement). The
findings showed a significant reduction in the perceived valence
and arousal of the presented affective stimuli, suggesting that
short-term meditation training could have an effect on boosting
affective regulation presented as dampening the valence and arousal
effects of affective inputs from the environment. The project
findings contribute significantly to our theoretical understanding
of the behavioral underpinnings of how meditation affects affective
functioning. Meditation, being a practically convenient mental
exercise that has been very well received by people across
different ethnic and cultural groups, has the strong potential to
be incorporated into cost-effective public intervention programs
that seek to promote healthy aging, which will have a critical and
far-reaching impact on the wellbeing of the old-age
population.

This study attempts to integrate two independent research literatures which lie within the broad area of pain and cognitive aspects of pain: 1) research in pain and clinical pain treatment, and; 2) research in athletes' pain coping strategies. The study focused upon a specific question which cuts across both areas: When exposed to painful stimuli, do individuals tend to focus upon their pain (Association), or do they tend to distract themselves from the pain (Dissociation)? In addition to this central question, the study investigated differences between athletes and non-athletes on this dimension of association and dissociation, and it also investigated the relationship between three different pain experiences: minor pain experiences, worst pain experiences, and exercise induced pain, and explored levels of association and dissociation for each. Prior to discussing the proposed study, the paper reviews relevant literature from two traditionally independent research areas. The review begins by considering problematical core questions in pain research and then takes an historical look at alternative approaches to conceptualizing pain. The prominent modern conceptualizations of pain are then discussed, with a specific focus upon recent behavioral and cognitive-behavioral models of pain and pain treatment. The efficacy of these psychological pain models in treating pain in clinical settings is briefly reviewed. The last section of the review focuses upon the question of association and dissociation, with a review of relevant literature III two broad areas: work with athletes and studies performed in laboratory settings. This literature will then be used as a foundation for discussing the importance of both learning and individual differences in any pain model. As an introduction to the proposed study, a paradigmatic behavioral model of pain is introduced as a conceptual aid for integrating the separate literatures reviewed. The review suggests that the work with athletes may prove itself as a useful alternative to traditional laboratory pain research. The current study investigates and compares the psychological and behavioral approaches to pain of athletes and non-athletes, with a focus both upon individual differences and upon universal responses to pain. In addition, the commonalties between historical pain experiences and current exercise-induced pain, are explored. The primary findings of the study revealed: 1) that the pattern of increased associative pain strategies in situations of increased pain was found in subjects' self-report pain histories; 2) that these historical assessments of pain and responses to pain are correlated with current assessments of and responses to a laboratory based "sport" situation on a bicycle ergometer ride; 3) that the sample of non-elite athletes did not use significantly more associative pain strategies during the bicycle ergometer ride than non-athletes, and; 4) that, across all subjects in this non-elite athlete and non-athlete…

▼ This thesis consists of three independent studies.
The first study works on the effect of confirmatory bias. The
second study analyses the effect of ambiguity in the communication.
The third study discusses two-sender cheap talk model with
endogenous information acquisition.
In the first study, it
develops formulations to capture the effects of confirmatory bias
in two-sender models. In these models, the information obtained by
the two senders is conditionally independent and endogenously
determined by their investment choices. Based on the investment
levels they choose, the senders strategically direct messages to
the receiver. This studies main purpose is to explore the effects
of confirmatory bias in different models by comparing the
differences in senders' investment incentives with and without the
existence of confirmatory bias. Rather than having an exclusively
negative influence on the players, as commonly believed, the
results of this study suggest that it is also possible for
confirmatory bias to be beneficial.
In the second study, the
term \ambiguity" is narrowly defined as the phenomenon whereby a
message is changed because of factors that cannot be controlled by
the players. The results show that ambiguity has positive effects
that can improve the truth-telling probability and utility of both
players. These effects are observed when different cost types are
applied. The positive effect of ambiguity generates a preference
for ambiguity among the players. This strong effect on the
improvement of truth-telling holds even when the sender's type is
assumed to be uncertain. Overall, the results demonstrate the
strong power of ambiguity in communication and that this power is
beneficial for both players. This study provides theoretical
support for making use of the inevitable ambiguity in
communication, which can help people improve their payoffs.
In
the third study, it examines a two-sender cheap talk model in a
one-dimensional setting, in which two experts with either the same
or opposite preferences choose their levels of investment in
information, and communicate with an uninformed decision maker. The
information obtained by the two experts is conditionally
independent and affected by the investment levels chosen by the
experts. After investing, the experts report favourable information
and can cheat at some cost if unfavourable signals are observed.
When the senders communicate with the receiver simultaneously, the
original expert tends to increase his investment in information
acquisition if the second non-strategic expert has the opposite
bias, and decrease it if he is biased in the same direction. If the
agents play a cheap talk game as described in this paper, the
cheating decisions made by two oppositely biased senders are
strategically complementary. Their investment levels are also
strategically complementary as long as some strict conditions are
satisfied. Conversely, when the two senders have the same
preference, both their cheating decisions and their investment
choices appear to be…

▼ This dissertation consists of two empirical essays
about the cognitive limitation, herding behavior, and their
association with investment performance. The essays utilize the
detailed quotes and trades data in the Taiwan Futures Exchange with
investor account identity, to study the cognitive limitation and
herding behavior of the investors, and the association between the
cognitive limitation, herding behavior, and the investment
performance.
In the first essay, I hypothesize that cognitive
limitation maybe manifested in a disproportionately large volume of
limit orders submitted at round-number prices if investors use
these numbers as cognitive shortcuts., I find that investors with
lower cognitive abilities, defined as higher limit order submission
ratios at round numbers, suffer greater losses in their
round-numbered and non-round-numbered limit orders, market orders,
and round-trip trades. The positive correlation between cognitive
ability and investment performance is monotonic and robust across
futures and options markets. In addition, past trading experience
helps mitigate the cognitive limitation.
The second essay studies
the herding behavior of investors.
The second essay studies the
herding behavior of investors. I find that individual investors
trade in the same direction with other individual investors in the
same branch of a broker. Individual investors’ tendency to herd is
persistent, and it is negatively associated with their cognitive
abilities and trading experience. The higher the herding tendency
of an individual investor is, the worse she performs in her
investments. Importantly, the negative association between herding
and investment performance is driven by the orders that are traded
in the same direction with other individual investors. Our results
suggest that herding with other individuals imposes a direct cost
to individual investors.

▼ Cancer patient's initial appraisal of the disease (i.e., as a threat, harm, or challenge), as well as their level of hope, has been linked to patients' coping strategies (i.e. approach or avoidance coping). However, it is unclear whether the well-established relationship between primary appraisals and coping in moderated by cancer patients' levels of hope. To determine if hope moderated this realationship, colorectal cancer patients (N=122) completed measures of appraisals and hope following their diagnosis and a measure of coping six-months later. Results indicated that patients appraised cancer as more of a challenge than a threat reported high levels of baseline hope. both challenge appraisals and baseline higher hope predicted approach coming six months later, however, hope did not moderate the relationship between appraisals and coping. This study highlights may of the conceptual, design, and psychometric problems present when measuring appraisals, hope, and coping among cancer patients.

▼ Support relationships within organizations have been the
subject of numerous empirical
studies. Much of this research has focused on the influence of perceived organizational
support and perceived supervisor support and their effects on subordinates. To date, however, no research has focused on how supervisors are influenced by their beliefs about support from their subordinates.
I define perceived subordinate support (PSubS)
as the extent to which a supervisor feels subordinates are concerned with the supervisor's well-being and value the supervisor as a leader. Previous research suggests that subordinates’ opinions and behaviors do influence supervisor behavior.
In the present study, a measure of PSubS and a measure of supervisor self-efficacy (SSE) were created and administered along with Eisenberger et al.’s (1986) measure of
perceived organizational support (POS) to two samples of supervisors. The two new measures were validated using principle components factor analysis. The results indicated that PSubS is a unique construct distinct from POS and SSE. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

▼ This study examines spontaneous irony in elicited conversations between dyads assigned to three groups: left-hemisphere-damaged (LHD), right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD), and non-hemisphere-damaged (NHD). The conversational partners in all three groups were non-hemisphere-damaged. Subjects were also administered a battery of neuropsychological tests designed to assess functions hypothesized to underlie the successful communication of irony and sarcasm (i.e., recognition of auditory patterns and facial displays conveying emotions, speed of processing, and comprehension of nonliteral language). Spontaneous irony involves a set of utterances in conversation that is not meant to be interpreted literally and can include such devices as irony, sarcasm, punning, and hyperbole. The communication of spontaneous irony in normal speakers is accomplished through a quick, tight coordination of behavioural and/or prosodic features. For a variety of reasons this coordination may break down when one of the speakers has brain damage. This study found that the rate of production of irony was significantly less in the two clinical groups as compared to the control group with no significant difference between the LHD and RHD groups. There was no significant difference amongst the groups in terms of success of communication; all three had a success rate of approximately 90 per cent. Individual profiles were examined to determine whether any patterns emerged in the test results, however, no pattern unique to the clinical subjects with the lowest rates of irony emerged. When the conversations were examined in more detail, it was found that the NHD partners in the clinical groups produced a significantly lower rate of irony than the NHD partners in the control group. The rate was also significantly lower than the rate of irony of the clinical subjects. These results suggest that the NHD partners adjust their content when their partners have had brain damage. Part of this adjustment may be due to the accommodation, described in previous literature, that occurs in interactions between disabled and nondisabled individuals. However, further exploration suggests that in addition to this overall accommodation there may be an adjustment that is dependent on whether the partner has had left or right hemisphere damage. Features present in the LHD group were pauses and paraphasias leading to disruptions in turntaking. These were not present in the RHD group which consisted of fluent speakers with no disruptions in turntaking. However, a reduction in discourse-oriented facial displays and prosodic features and a tendency toward tangential speech may act to change the quality of conversations in the RHD group. These
aspects would have to be studied objectively in a future study to determine whether they were upheld.

The indirect effects of work-related antecedents to retirement on retirement adjustment quality via change in social resources : a resource-based dynamic perspective.

▼ The present investigation sought to address the paucity of longitudinal retirement adjustment research in relation to the social resources of retirees, and how change in these resources may affect the degree of retirement adjustment quality they experience. This study was a secondary analysis with an observational, repeated measures design conducted on the 2006 and 2014 data waves of the Health, Work, and Retirement (HWR) study (Alpass et al., 2007). From a resource-based dynamic perspective, retirement adjustment can be viewed as a longitudinal process which fluctuates as a function of given resources and changes in such resources (Wang, Henkens, & van Solinge, 2011). Guided by this theoretical framework, the primary focus of this investigation was to examine if change in perceived social support would mediate the relationships between job-related conditions (i.e., job satisfaction and job stress) and post-retirement psychological wellbeing across the period of 2006 – 2014. The sample (n = 435) was drawn from the HWR study’s 2006 nationally representative sub-sample of the general New Zealand older adult population. Participants were male and female New Zealanders, aged between 55 – 70 years in 2006, and were of New Zealand European, Māori, Asian, or other ethnicity. Participants were in paid employment at the time of the 2006 data wave, and had entered retirement at the time of the 2014 data wave. Cross-sectional analyses of the 2006 wave were also undertaken to determine whether the theorised relationships between the principal constructs were supported at the cusp of the retirement transition before participants retired. These analyses indicated the relationship between job satisfaction and psychological wellbeing appeared to operate indirectly via perceived social support, as did the relationship between job stress and psychological wellbeing. However, longitudinal mediation analyses did not support the resource-based dynamic model of retirement adjustment. Recommendations for measuring adjustment outcomes and resources at multiple assessment points, measure selection and construct domain sampling, improving capacity for causal inference, and using alternative data analytic strategies are made for future research adopting a resource-based dynamic perspective.

▼ Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major health burden, accounting for 12% of total healthcare expenditures worldwide. Recent forecasts estimate that 1 in 10 people will suffer from the condition by 2040. These figures are of great concern, particularly when T2DM has the potential to be well-controlled. By adhering to self-management behaviour, i.e. by making appropriate lifestyle changes, people with T2DM can delay and often prevent the onset of disease-related complications. However, in practice, many patients remain poorly controlled and the most effective method to motivate sustained adherence to self-management is unclear. Among recent motivation strategies, those informed by behavioural economics have raised growing interest in many different areas. The core principle of behavioural economics is to identify specific errors in the way people make decisions (i.e. specific deviations from standard economic rationality) and target these to steer people's choices towards a given (recommended) direction. Following this approach, I aim to develop an innovative behavioural economic-informed intervention for people with T2DM with the objective of motivating sustained adherence to self-management in this population. The first part of the Thesis was concerned with investigating the factors known to have an influence on patients' decision to adhere to self-management. Firstly, I systematically reviewed all studies exploring the risk perceptions for diabetes-related complications in T2DM populations. I found that patients tend to largely underestimate their risks, especially those for cardiovascular complications, and express an optimistic bias (i.e. they tend to feel less at risk than their peers). Given the positive association between risk perceptions and adherence to self-management, these findings suggested the need for more effective risk communication addressed to this population. As a result, I further explored the decision-making processes of people with T2DM to identify relevant behavioural economic material. I measured the risk attitudes under prospect theory of 120 individuals, half of whom were diagnosed with T2DM. Focusing on a hypothetical trade-off between health outcomes and self-management, I found that patients express strong risk and loss aversion. This suggested that non-adherence to self-management may not be explained by a particular risk-seeking behaviour in this population. Consequently, this confirmed the need for better risk communication. In the second part of the Thesis, I developed an innovative risk communication tool entitled PERCODIA. Informed by the behavioural economic findings of the first part, PERCODIA is aimed to better deliver personalised risk information to people with T2DM. I first reviewed the risk communication literature to identify the best ways of taking advantage of these behavioural economic findings. Both the content and the format of the tool were selected for this purpose. I then designed and conducted a pilot randomised control trial (RCT) to assess the feasibility of…

▼ The CIP Model of Leadership has received increased attention within the past decade. Research in this area has examined how leaders develop mental models, frame messages, communicate goals, and utilize political tactics to form relationships with followers and impact society in a meaningful way. However, discussion of how CIP leader types use emotions and influence tactics to influence followers and affect society is notably absent in the literature. To fill this gap, the current effort focuses on how charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders differ in their use of emotional displays and influence tactics while maintaining similar levels of communication effectiveness, follower satisfaction, and leadership effectiveness. Results suggest that the emotional displays and influence tactics that leader use successfully discriminate between CIP leader types and create distinct leader styles. Implications of these findings are also discussed.

▼ This study used EMA data from smokers engaged in an earnest attempt to quit smoking to assess complex relations among coping, affect, and smoking. Analyses tested hypotheses about the main effects of coping and both mediators and moderators of coping effects on subsequent outcomes of interest (i.e., affect, coping effort, coping efficacy, and smoking behavior). Results of multilevel models indicated that coping does not improve negative affect within 4 hours of coping efforts, but that coping does improve positive affect and increase the odds of engaging in temptation coping in the short-term. Lapses were more likely to happen when recent coping was reported within 48 hours. None of the putative mediators of coping were predictive of later lapse risk as anticipated. Analyses also revealed that pre-quit coping practice moderated the effects of post-quit coping to deal with stressful events on later affect. Moreover, significant moderating gender effects were also found in these relations.

▼ This dissertation concerns the formation and the consequences of people’s beliefs and preferences. Empirically and experimentally, I focus on individuals’ beliefs and ideologies through mechanisms such as group dynamics, education, and educational content. In Chapter 2, I conduct a laboratory experiment in which subjects play a variant of a public goods game without free-riding incentives. With no private information, the prospect of investment in the experiment involves self-evaluation of uncertain personal and group types, which depend on performance on a pretest. I compare subjects’ individual investment decisions with their decisions when in groups. Timing and structure of communication are the two dimensions of controlled treatments. The results suggest that individuals tend to invest more often and that they increase their subjective beliefs of being a “high” type when in groups, especially when group decisions are made prior to individual decisions. Chapter 3 estimates the causal effect of education on religiosity in the United States using NLSY97. Fixed effects and instrumental variable method are used as identification strategies. Although cross-sectional ordinary least squares estimation shows a positive correlation between religious outcomes and educational attainment, both fixed effect models and IV estimation show statistically significant negative effects of education, even when cognitive test score is controlled. This suggests that conventional OLS omits factors that push both education and religiosity. In Chapter 4, I employ a regression discontinuity design and make use of a quasi-experimental approach by looking at the 1997 junior high school curriculum reform, “Knowing Taiwan,” to examine the impacts of the increased focus on Taiwan in the textbooks on a variety of civic engagement and national identity in favor of Taiwan. Data is from the Taiwan Social Change Survey. I find a significant positive effect of the new curriculum on national identity. However, most measures of civic participation of the treatment group do not exhibit jumps because of the textbook reform.

▼ Verbal fluency tasks are used extensively in clinical settings because of their sensitivity to a wide variety of disorders, including cognitive decline and dementia, and their usefulness in differential diagnoses. However, the effects of bilingualism on neuropsychological assessment, and verbal fluency in particular, are currently not completely understood. There is an increasing need to examine bilingualisms role in assessing verbal fluency due to the rapidly growing Hispanic population within the United States. This study investigated the performance of bilingual Hispanics in phonemic fluency compared to monolingual European-Americans using the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT). Both the standard letters of 'F', 'A', and 'S' and alternative letters were tested in an attempt to find letters that would be linguistically and culturally fair for both monolinguals and bilinguals. Various
aspects of bilingualism, such as language dominance and age of acquisition of a second language, as well as acculturative factors, were examined to determine their influences on phonemic fluency. Results revealed that both language dominance and age of acquisition heavily influence phonemic fluency performance for Hispanic bilinguals. Bilingual students who were English dominant or balanced bilingual scored on par with the monolingual students. Also, bilingual students who learned their second language by the age of six performed better than those who learned their second language later. The acculturative factors of social affiliation and ethnic identification affected performance as well. Early age of acquisition bilingual participants who were better acculturated to mainstream society scored higher in phonemic fluency than those who were not as well acculturated. These results pinpoint the clinical importance of obtaining a full linguistic background of a bilingual client in order to interpret verbal fluency performance accurately so that the client may be properly diagnosed and treated.

▼ There is a popular lay-belief that consumers always strive to repair their negative mood. However, one can think of contrary instances where people seek out melancholic music when they feel sad, or choose to remain miserable when something frustrates them. My dissertation proposes that people vary considerably in the degree to which they need to feel better when they experience negative feelings. Specifically, my dissertation advances current understanding of why certain individuals do not engage in mood repair. It also allows us to decipher when people would form judgments and decisions in a mood-congruent versus mood-incongruent manner, thereby accounting for the lack of robustness of mood repair effects. To this end, I advance a construct called the "Need to Feel Better" (NFB), and propose four distinct facets of NFB that individuals differ on: 1) behavioral tendency to repair bad moods, 2) aversion to negative feelings, 3) pleasure derived from negative feelings, and 4) tendency to reflect on negative feelings. I also propose a scale that measures this construct and the four facets it encompasses. My dissertation shows that NFB is associated with stronger preference for common mood repair activities such as leisure shopping and exercise. It is also associated with certain demographics (e.g., age and gender), personality traits (e.g., extraversion and agreeableness), and self-regulation constructs (e.g., promotion-focus). NFB also predicts people's tendency to engage in mood repair when they experience negative moods and their attitudes towards mood lifting appeals. From a managerial standpoint, this work provides insights for the marketing of "feel-good" products (e.g., aromatherapy and vacation packages) and the use of mood repair appeals (e.g., Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl commercial and the "Look Good Feel Better" campaign for women with cancer by the cosmetics industry).

▼ Purpose: Exercise, particularly higher intensity or competitive exercise, depends on the interaction of a template or plan. This plan determines how to go about the exercise and feedback from the body determines how the exercise bout is affecting the body. In well-trained people the interaction between template and feedback is very sophisticated, and allows exercise performance to be optimized. The 'language', which the brain apparently speaks in terms of this template and feedback, can be understood in terms of Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Motivational music has generally been shown to augment exercise performance. The purpose of this study is to determine if motivation music, used as a strategy to manipulate the template-feedback system, during a cycle time trial, will change performance. Methods: (N=18) mean age= 27.6 +/- 8.7 well-trained cyclists performed two randomly assigned 10km cycle time trials, either listening to self-selected motivational music or control trial. A variety of performance markers (power output, HR, blood lactate, RPE) were monitored. Results: Self-selected motivation music had no affect on HR 174.1 +/- 11.3 and 171.8 +/- 10.4, power output 222 +/- 66 and 220 +/- 65, RPE 8.4 +/- 1.5 and 8.5 +/- 1.6, blood lactate 8.2 +/- 3.6 and 8.2 +/- 3.5 or time 17.75 +/- 2.1 and 17.81 +/- 2.06 (p>.05). Conclusion: The results show no significant difference in time trial responses relative to the presence of music.

The relationship of team cohesion to individual anxiety
among recreational soccer players.

▼ Cohesion is the most often studied group dynamics
factor in sport and exercise psychology (Brawley, Carron, &
Widmeyer, 1987; Carron, 1982; Carron, Widmeyer, & Brawley,
1985). The group dynamics research has focused on the relationship
between cohesion and performance. Relatively little is known about
how cohesion may be related to individual factors such as anxiety.
Previous studies revealed that cohesiveness provides
psychological
benefits to participants (Eys, Hardy, Carron, & Beauchamp,
2003; Prapavessis & Carron, 1996). However, there is no
research exploring the relationship between cohesion and
competitive anxiety at the recreational sport level. The purpose of
this study was to examine the relationship between multi-constructs
of cohesiveness, assessed with the Group Environment Questionnaire
(GEQ; Carron, Widmeyer, & Brawley, 1985), and multidimensions
of competitive state anxiety, assessed with the Competitive State
Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2; Martens et al., 1990) at the
recreational sport level. In addition, the contribution of cohesion
to the prediction of competitive state anxiety beyond the
contribution of competitive trait anxiety assessed by the Sport
Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT; Martens, 1977) was examined. A
hypothetical soccer competition scenario was used to measure
competitive state anxiety in the present study. The results of
Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship
between three dimensions of cohesion (individual attraction to the
group-task; ATG-T, group integration-task; GI-T, and group
integration-social; GI-S) and subdimensions of competitive A-state
(cognitive and somatic state anxiety). The findings of stepwise and
hierarchical multiple regression analyses also demonstrated the
significant contribution of the individual attraction to the
group-task (ATG-T) in predicting competitive state anxiety. It is
suggested that recreational soccer participants with high scores on
ATG-T are likely to have low competitive state anxiety. It is also
suggested that future research examine if cohesion helps
recreational athletes stick to sports through diminished
competitive state anxiety.; Anxiety, Cohesion, Competitive anxiety,

▼ This study examined the relationship between participants level of
psychological distress and their attempts to control their problematic alcohol consumption in a randomized clinical trial comparing two web-based Behavioral Self-Control Training (BSCT) interventions. Potential participants in the trial were screened for both severe mental illness and symptoms of alcohol dependence. Based on prevailing theories, as well as research on individuals diagnosed with co-morbid anxious or mood disorders with alcohol use disorders, it was hypothesized that participants reporting higher levels of clinical distress would have worse outcomes. However, the results of this trial demonstrated that participants reporting higher levels of clinical distress at intake, as assessed by the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI), were more successful and reducing both number of drinks they consumed per drinking occasion as well as the number of days they drank per drinking period at 3 and 12-month follow-up, relative to those who reported less or no clinical distress at intake.
