threat of the thin ideal body image and body malleability beliefs effects on body image self discrepancies and behavioral intentions
Body Image, 2012Co-Authors: Thomas Arciszewski, Sophie Berjot, Lucie FinezAbstract:This study examined the effect of the threat aroused by the perception of thin-ideal images combined with beliefs about the malleability of the body on perceived/objective, ideal/objective and ought/objective body image self-discrepancies. An experimental computer program enabled women (N = 82) to artificially increase or decrease the shape of their own body (previously photographed) in response to questions about their " actual " , " ideal " and " ought " body Self-Perceptions. As predicted, results showed that women had greater body self-discrepancies when confronted with threatening thin ideals, regardless of their body mass index. The size of this trend depended on the way they were made to think of their body (malleable vs. fixed). Findings also suggested a possible relationship between body self-representations and eating behaviors or intentions. The impact of thin-ideal threats and body malleability beliefs on body perception is discussed.

a self powered brain multi perception receptor for sensory substitution application
Nano Energy, 2018Co-Authors: Yongming Fu, Mengyang Zhang, Lili Xing, Yang Zhan, Shuai Wang, Yan Zhang, Hui ZengAbstract:Abstract The artificial sensory-substitution system can work like real human sensory tissue and participate in the perception of sensory-handicap patient. The power-supply unit is key factor for its wearable, low-cost and long-term application. Here, a new self-powered multi-perception electronic-skin has been presented as brain sensory receptor for sensory substitution of tactility, audition, olfaction, gustation and vision. The device directly outputs the triboelectric sensory signal into brain using human motion energy without external electricity power or battery, and actively involves in multi-perceptions. The sensing unit arrays act as both the power source and brain sensory receptor for tracking force trace, hearing words, smelling odor, tasting beverage and recognizing image. The mechanism can be attributed to the coupling of triboelectrification and surface effect. The device connecting to mouse brain at primary somatosensory barrel cortex can mimic the mouse perception and drive the mouse activities. This new approach can be applied to fabricating new self-powered sensory-substitution systems and multi-perception brain sensory receptor.

Illness perceptions and work participation: a systematic review
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2010Co-Authors: Jan Lucas Hoving, Michael Meer, A. Y. Volkova, Monique H. W. Frings-dresenAbstract:PurposeSelf-regulatory processes play an important role in mediating between the disease and the health outcomes, and potentially also work outcomes. This systematic review aims to explore the relationship between illness perceptions and work participation in patients with somatic diseases and complaints.MethodsThe bibliographic databases Medline, PsycINFO and Embase were searched from inception to March 2008. Included were cross-sectional or longitudinal studies, patients with somatic diseases or complaints, illness perceptions based on at least four dimensions of the common sense model of self-regulation, and work participation.ResultsTwo longitudinal and two cross-sectional studies selected for this review report statistically significant findings for one or more illness perception dimensions in patients with various complaints and illnesses, although some dimensions are significant in one study but not in another. Overall, non-working patients perceived more serious consequences, expected their illness to last a longer time, and reported more symptoms and more emotional responses as a result of their illness. Alternatively, working patients had a stronger belief in the controllability of their condition and a better understanding of their disease.ConclusionsThe limited number of studies in this review suggests that illness perceptions play a role in the work participation of patients with somatic diseases or complaints, although it is not clear how strong this relationship is and which illness perception dimensions are most useful. Identifying individuals with maladaptive illness perceptions and targeting interventions toward changing these perceptions are promising developments in improving work participation.

reconsidering the relationship between the third person perception and optimistic bias
Communication Research, 2007Co-Authors: Venhwei Lo, Hungyi LuAbstract:Studies disagree as to whether an optimistic bias can account for the commonly observed third-person perceptions. This study aims to help clarify the relationship between third-person perceptions and biased optimism in the context of assessing the impact of the news about bird flu outbreaks in Taiwan. Using a random sample of 1,107 college students, third-person perception and optimistic bias were found to be robust but unrelated. Although both optimistic bias and third-person effect are psychological perceptual judgments that can be attributed to self-serving motivation, the third-person perception is a biased interpretation of media influence, while biased optimistic perceptions are a social psychological mechanism of bolstering self-esteem in self-other comparisons regarding a risk.
