Investigating the Sense of Agency and its Relation to Subclinical Traits Using a Novel Task
Authors: Penton Tegan , Wang Xingquan , Catmur Caroline , Bird Geoff
Published: October 2021

Tasks measuring the sense of agency often manipulate the predictability of action outcomes by introducing spatial deviation. However, the extent to which spatial predictability of an outcome influences the sense of agency when spatial deviation is controlled for remains untested. We used a novel task to investigate the effect of several factors (action-outcome contingency, spatial deviation, and spatial predictability when controlling for spatial deviation of action outcomes) on the sense of agency. We also investigated trait predictors of metacognition of agency – the degree to which participants’ confidence in their agency judgements corresponds to the accuracy of those judgements. Initial and replication samples completed Contingency, Deviation, and Predictability versions of the task. Across samples, participants’ sense of agency was impacted by action-outcome contingency and spatial deviation of action outcomes. Manipulation of the spatial predictability of action outcomes did not reliably impact the sense of agency. Metacognition of agency was related to alexithymic traits - higher alexithymia scores were associated with reduced metacognition of agency.
The state of dispositional mindfulness research
Authors: Karl Johannes Alfons , Fischer Ronald
Published: October 2021

Objectives We present a bibliometric review of research on trait mindfulness published from 2003 till 2021 to determine the current state of the field and identify research trajectories. Methods A search conducted on Aug 25, 2021 using the search terms “trait mindfulness” OR “dispositional mindfulness” in the Web of Science Core Collection identified 1405 documents. Results Using keyword-based network analyses, the various clusters suggested two major approaches in the field, one focusing on cognitive attentional processes, and a second approach that encompasses a wider field of well-being and clinical research topics. We also document increasing consolidation of research fields over time, with research on wider individual differences such as personality being subsumed into clinically and wellbeing-oriented research topics. More recently, a distinct theme focused on the validity of measurement of mindfulness emerged. In addition to general patterns in the field, we examined the global distribution of trait mindfulness research. Research output was substantially skewed towards North American-based researchers with less international collaborations. Chinese researchers nevertheless also produced research at significant rates. Comparing the difference in research topics between China and the US-based researchers we found substantial differences with US research emphasizing meditation and substance abuse issues, whereas researchers from China focused on methodological questions and concerns around phone addiction. Conclusions Overall, our review indicates that research on trait mindfulness might profit from conceptual and cultural realignment, with greater focus on individual differences research in other areas of psychology to complement the strong clinical and cognitive focus we well as also stronger cross-cultural and comparative studies.Compliance with Ethical Standards The authors do not have any potential conflicts of interest and no ethical approval was necessary for the use of published materials.
The Potential of International Large-Scale Assessments for Meta-Analyses in Education
Authors: Scherer Ronny , Siddiq Fazilat , Nilsen Trude
Published: October 2021

Meta-analyses and international large-scale assessments (ILSA) are key sources for informing educational policy, research, and practice. While many critical research questions could be addressed by drawing evidence from both of these sources, meta-analysts seldom integrate ILSAs, and the current integration practices lack methodological guidance. The aim of this methodological review is therefore to synthesize and illustrate the principles and practices of including ILSA data in meta-analyses. Specifically, we (a) review systematically whether and how existing meta-analyses included ILSA data; (b) present four inclusion approaches (i.e., analytic steps, potential, challenges); and (c) illustrate the application of these approaches. Seeing the need for meta-analyses on educational inequalities, we situated the review and illustration in the context of gender differences and socioeconomic gaps in student achievement. Ultimately, we propose an analytic framework outlining the steps meta-analysts could take to utilize the potential and address the challenges of ILSA data for meta-analyses in education.
Spatialization in Working Memory and its Relation to Math Anxiety
Authors: van Dijck Jean-Philippe , Fias Wim , Cipora Krzysztof
Published: October 2021

Working memory (WM) is one of the most important cognitive functions that may play a role in the relation between math anxiety (MA) and math performance. The processing efficiency theory proposes that the rumination and worrisome thoughts (induced by MA) result in less available WM resources (which are needed to solve math problems). At the same time, high MA individuals have lower verbal and spatial WM capacity in general. Extending these findings, we found that MA is also linked to the spatial coding of serial order in verbal WM: Subjects who organize sequences from left-to-right in verbal WM show lower levels of MA compared to those who do not spatialize. Furthermore, these spatial coders have higher verbal WM capacity, better numerical order judgement abilities and higher math scores. These findings suggest that that spatially structuring the verbal mind is a promising cognitive correlate of the MA and opens new avenues for exploring causal links between elementary cognitive processes and the MA.
Frontal Alpha Asymmetry: a potential biomarker of approach-withdrawal motivation towards pain.

Published: October 2021

Pain-related catastrophising is a maladaptive coping strategy known to have a strong influence on clinical pain outcomes and treatment efficacy. Mounting evidence suggests catastrophising is associated with resting-state EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) patterns reflective of greater relative right frontal activity, thought to underly withdrawal motivation and negative affect. Notwithstanding, knowledge on the neurophysiological basis of catastrophising remains limited. The present study aims to investigate whether such relationship occurs in the situational context of experimental pain, and how FAA is modulated by pain and placebo treatment. 35 participants completed the Pain Catastrophising Scale (PCS) questionnaire prior to EEG recordings during cold pressor test (CPT)-induced tonic pain with or without prior application of placebo cream. There was a negative correlation between FAA and PCS-subscale helplessness scores, but not rumination or magnification, during the pre-placebo CPT condition. Moreover, FAA scores were shown to increase significantly in response to pain, indicative of greater relative left frontal activity that relates to approach-oriented behaviours. Placebo treatment elicited a decrease in FAA in low helplessness scorers, but no significant effects in individuals scoring above the mean on PCS-helplessness. These findings suggest that, during painful events, FAA may reflect the motivational drive to obtain reward of pain relief, which may be diminished in individuals who are prone to feel helpless about their pain. This study provides valuable insights into biomarkers of pain-related catastrophising and prospects of identifying promising targets of brain-based therapies for chronic pain management.

Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 lockdown was a set of nationwide public health restrictions in force on the UK from March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Co-occurring anxiety and depression in autistic people placed them at heightened risk of potential adverse mental health due to the lockdown. Furthermore, the impact of current and future public health measures on autistic people’s willingness to take part in autism research was unknown. We carried out in-depth interviews with 31 autistic adults exploring their experiences of the COVID-19 lockdown and how the pandemic may affect future research participation. Transcripts were analysed thematically within a critical realism framework. Participants identified positive aspects of lockdown such as enjoying the lack of social pressures and using their well-developed skills for dealing with uncertainty. Autistic people also shared challenges of adjusting to lockdown, e.g., rapid change in daily routines. While hopeful about the freedom gained from easing restrictions, participants were concerned about the inconsistent communication and application of rules during the transition out of lockdown which may exacerbate already rising mental health issues among autistic people. The participants viewed research participation and engagement with increased relevance during the pandemic and welcomed efforts to conduct research using online methods of communication. The COVID-19 lockdown had a varied effect in the lives and routines of autistic people. However, healthcare providers and researchers need to be mindful of rising mental health issues during the pandemic, especially for people who were already vulnerable. The response to the pandemic may have offered opportunities for innovation in research processes enabling more autistic people to engage with research and making studies more inclusive.

Commentary: Response to commentary by Bilgin and Wolke (2021)
Authors: Kramer Robin Stewart Samuel , Davis Abi M. B.
Published: October 2021

Recently in this journal, Bilgin and Wolke (2020) published a paper which showed no association between leaving infants to ‘cry it out’ and infant-mother attachment. In our commentary (Davis & Kramer, 2021), we argued that the study was underpowered and, as such, could not be considered a conclusive demonstration that ‘cry it out’ had no adverse effects on attachment. The authors (Bilgin & Wolke, 2021) responded by claiming that, in combination with previous research, there was now ‘overwhelming evidence that letting a baby to cry it out a few times or even often has no adverse effects for infant-mother attachment formation during infancy’ (p. 2). Here, we show that their study was indeed underpowered and argue that there is, as yet, no compelling evidence that ‘cry it out’ is not harmful for attachment. Therefore, this technique should not be utilised by parents until more conclusive evidence has been provided.
Righteous or Rebellious? Narratives of the Qatar Diplomatic Crisis in British and Qatari Media
Authors: Mudra Rakshasa-Loots Arish
Published: October 2021

Media representations of international conflicts are instrumental in determining how we imagine, evaluate, and discuss conflicts. The Qatar diplomatic crisis, an ongoing international diplomatic conflict between Qatar and a Saudi Arabia-led coalition of nations, has received extensive global media coverage. This study compares British and Qatari media discourse of this crisis, by examining ten news articles from the BBC and Al Jazeera English (AJE) for bias in language based on the respective national contexts. Evidence of agenda-setting, priming, nationalization of discourse, and public diplomacy was revealed in articles from both outlets. AJE, due to its relative political proximity to the conflict, ascribes the diplomatic crisis much more significance than does the BBC. Both outlets also differ in their evaluations of allegations of terrorist-financing against Qatar and the legitimacy of the blockade. These results indicate that media outlets which claim to be impartial are nonetheless influenced by national contexts when reporting on international conflicts. This study is the first to apply previously-established media effects theories and discourse analysis approaches to media representations of the ongoing Qatar crisis and furthers our understanding of power dynamics in narratives of global conflicts.

Published: October 2021

A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Station (HRS), Dailekh, in Mid-Western hills of Nepal during 2019 and 2020, to evaluate the performance of ten potato genotypes for plant, and tuber yield characters. The potato genotypes were evaluated during spring season in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The genotypes showed highly significant difference for all the traits except tuber emergence. The mean squares for the year were also significant for all the traits except tuber emergence, stem numberplant -1 and total tuber yield. The interaction between genotypes and years did not show significant differences in all the traits except stem numberplant -1. Genotype CIP392797.22 produced more marketable yield (27.5 tha -1) and total tuber yield (30.2tha -1) than all other genotypes. The genotype CIP392797.22 is characterized as medium maturing, oval-shaped and dark red-skinned one with shallow eye depth in the tuber, and it imparted 13.2% higher marketable yield than Kufri Jyoti (24.3 tha -1). Thus, the genotype CIP392797.22 is recommended to evaluate on-farm for the verification and up-scaling among farmers at Mid-Western Nepal.

Published: October 2021

Background. A large number of significant socio-economic events occur under the influence of unique factors. Formal application of probabilistic and statistical methods in such cases leads to analytical conclusions without sufficient scientific justification. Financial modeling reflects modern approaches to the probability interpretation, provides introduction and systematization of risk indicators, and the necessity of improving theoretical and probabilistic disciplines of economic orientation. Analysis of recent research and publications has shown that despite significant investigations, financial modeling is not theoretically complete scientific direction in terms of economic risk indicators and derivative characteristics, important scientific and practical problems remain unresolved in the analysis of socio-economic phenomena in unce­rtainty and implementation of modern achievements of scientists to the process. The aim of the article is to study theoretical and probabilistic concepts of socio-economic processes in conditions of uncertainty and uniqueness based on the financial modeling methods. Materials and methods. Analytical and statistical methods, methods of mathematical statistics and probability theory are used in the research process. Information database is data from trading sessions of world stock markets. Results. Theoretical and probabilistic concepts, including interpretations of probability and risk are considered through formalization of the analysis process by the subject of the socio-economic phenomenon in conditions of uncertainty. Models of typical stationary, dynamic, parity and dominant lotteries with introduced risk indicators are built. Risk is interpreted as the ratio of negative and favorable factors of the phenomenon information background. Relevant indicators are illustrated and calculated using various socio-economic and financial cases. Subjective-probabilistic modeling (SPM) in relation to decision-making in the financial market is studied as the development of Bayesian subjectivism. It has been shown that group consensus SPM-assessments of risk generate specific derivative financial instruments such as binary options, index derivatives, crypto-assets, etc. Conclusion. The results of the study showed the application effectiveness of financial modeling methods of risks assessment in financial markets, the prospects of relevant development in the field of financial engineering. Teaching economic disciplines, which are based on theoretical and probabilistic postulates, statistical and analytical-statistical procedures for calculating probabilistic indicators (probability, risk, prevention regulations, etc.), requires significant addition using the introduction of new methods of information analysis of social background, financial sphere to determine the optimal direction of development and investment activities. Keywords: risk ratio, probability interpretation, binary options, financial modeling, high-risk financial markets, subjective-probabilistic modeling.

Evaporation of a liquid sessile droplet subjected to forced convection
Authors: Korenchenko A. Е. , Zhukova A. A.
Published: October 2021

Experiments on measuring the rate of evaporation of liquid sessile droplets into air show that the rate of evaporation increases in the presence of forced convection flows. However, data on the effect of convection on evaporation are often contradictory and should be clarified. The paper presents a numerical analysis of evaporation from the surface of a water droplet subjected to forced convection in the gas phase. The drop is located on a smooth horizontal isothermal substrate; the mode with constant contact angle is considered. The shape of the drop has axial symmetry, the same for the velocities and pressure. Forced convection compatible with the symmetry conditions are represented by flows directed downward along the axis of the system and diverging along the sides near the drop and the substrate. The mathematical model is constructed for evaporation controlled by diffusion in the gas phase and takes into account surface tension, gravity, and viscosity in both media, buoyancy and Marangoni convection. The results indicate the existence of the mutual influence of liquid and gaseous media. Thus, a drop vibrates under the influence of movements in the atmosphere, which generates a density wave in the gas: the drop «sounds». The magnitude of the velocity in a liquid is 50 times less than the characteristic velocity in air. It is found that the evaporation rate does not change in the presence of forced convection flows, which contradicts most of the experimental works. The reason for the discrepancies is supposed to be the appearance of nonequilibrium conditions at the boundary of the condensed phase: under these conditions, the evaporation regime ceases to be diffusional.
Mathematical modeling of some social processes using game-theoretic approaches and making managerial decisions based on them
Authors: Krasnikov К. Е.
Published: October 2021

In this article, using game-theoretic approaches, the human community is modeled as a dynamic system, and the influence of such ethical norms of behavior as egoism and altruism, morality (on the example of the Kant imperative or the Golden Rule of Morality) on the state of this system is investigated, as well as the question of determining the effectiveness of the community depending on the prevailing worldview of its representatives. Using the example of a game model of social choice between two norms of behavior – one generally accepted, but outdated, and another, new, not yet widespread, but more advanced and progressive – it is shown that communities, among whose representatives a predominantly egoistic worldview prevails, are less likely to innovate and abandon outdated norms of behavior. Conversely, those communities whose representatives share basic ethical principles are more confident and quickly moving to advanced and progressive norms. In conclusion, the paper examines the question of what advantages a society acquires in which purposeful educational and educational activities are conducted, designed to increase the level of morality and morality among its representatives. The results obtained can be used, firstly, as an integral part of the course on the mathematical base of ethics, which could perform the functions of educational work in higher and secondary educational institutions; and, secondly, for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of educational work and state planning in this area.
