INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION OF HIGHLY SKILLED WORKERS: THEORETICAL ASPECT AND IMPACT ON THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Oliinyk Olena
Published: August 2022

This scientific paper analyses the theoretical approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to determining the meaning of the concept named "migration of highly skilled workers", in other words highly skilled migration. The author determined the essence of related categories, among which one can often find the identification of international migration of highly skilled workers with intellectual migration. The scholar carried out the investigation of the relationship between the migration of highly skilled workers and economic growth basing on the case study of the member states of the European Union. In 2019, the average share of immigrants with higher education in the EU28 countries was 28.1% with a tendency to a steady increase in this indicator during the study period. In order to ensure a scientifically sound classification of European countries, as well as the identification of internal links between the units in the aggregate, the author conducted cluster analysis based on the use of three analytical indicators for 2019, namely: the share of immigrants with higher education, %; level of economic activity of immigrants with higher education, %; employment rate of immigrants with higher education, %. The comprehensive analysis of the migration of highly skilled workers within the study is supplemented by the analytical data on the permits issued by European countries for the employment of highly skilled workers. There was a significant difference in the number of first permits issued for paid activities for highly skilled workers in different EU member states. In 2019, the leaders in terms of the share of such permits in the total number of permits included the Netherlands (64.48%), Denmark (51.53%), and Liechtenstein (50.83%). Within the framework of the study, the basic indicator of the relationship between the issued employment permits for highly skilled migrants and the country’s economic growth is the gross national income per capita. In order to conduct a very thoughtful analysis, the author calculated the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient basing on the case study of 13 European Union member states in 2019. The value of the pairwise correlation coefficient between the studied indicators is 0.9252, which confirms the significant impact of highly skilled immigration on the economic growth of the country.
THE PRACTICE OF OPTIMIZING THE LOGISTICS PROCESSES OF FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS
Authors: Danylenko Valerii
Published: August 2022

The article presents in general terms the reasons for increasing the importance of logistics processes optimizing mechanisms’ development concerning the food supply chain participants, as well as the current trends in the development of the business environment that encourage research in this area. In this paper, I define the functional boundaries The functional boundaries of the competencies’ implementation regarding the field of companies’ logistics management, I paid special attention to the framework for the implementation of production logistics competencies. I also disclosed the principle of interaction between the logistics system and the production system at an enterprise. This principle is meant to be implemented in the field of production planning and the gradual movement of resources, accompanied by the value creation. As a result of the abovementioned interaction, the essence of the mechanisms and tools of process management in the field of procurement logistics is revealed to achieve a synergistic effect from the continuity of management activities. This explains the reasons why the implementation of lean manufacturing tools indirectly leads to the optimization of logistics processes. Next, the essence of the lean production concept is revealed and arguments are given for the complementarity of the concept with the tools of logistics management, but taking into account the differences in their functional contents. The subject of this study is the Kanban lean production method, so the next stage of the discussion is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical provisions of this management concept. The principle of implementation of the discussed concept in the production practice is also schematically presented. Based on review studies results about the Kanban system practical application success, conclusions were drawn about the possible positive effects of this system’ application. Further, as a result of the analysis of a food supply chain participating company’s financial statements, I determined the daily residual inventory for one of the finished products items, and it was compared with the daily order sizes. Subsequently, with the use of the Kanban system, logistics processes were optimized by eliminating excess production. Finally, I summarized the results with a list of the potential benefits brought by the use of lean manufacturing tools.

Se realizó un experimento en campo con el objetivo de evaluar los efectos de la aplicación de tres abonos verdes de leguminosas sobre algunas propiedades químicas en un luvisol férrico (K´an kab en maya), representativo de las zonas agrícolas del estado de Campeche. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques completos al azar con siete tratamientos: Mucuna pruriens L., Vigna unguiculata L. y Phaseolus lunatus inoculados o no con endomicorrizas y bacterias benéf icas f ijadoras de nitrógeno, comparadas con el testigo constituido por la incorporación de arvenses más fosfato diamónico (DAP). Los resultados demuestran que todas las propiedades del suelo estudiadas: Materia orgánica (MOS), conductividad eléctrica (CE), características de pH, así como la determinación del contenido macronutrientes (N, P, K, Ca, Mg y Na), micronutrientes (B, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn), suma bases intercambiables (meq/100 g) y la relación C/N, se comportaron de manera semejante en términos estadísticos (P < 0.05). Los abonos verdes lograron aportes de nutrientes equiparables a la fertilización que combinaba el DAP con la biomasa incorporada de arvenses, lo cual evidencia, que el uso de abonos verdes, incluso de especies leguminosas cultivadas como alimento en los agroecosistemas de la Península de Yucatán, pueden sustituir la fertilización convencional en luvisoles férricos de Campeche, México.
Análisis de la calidad del suelo bajo producción intensiva de chile (Capsicum annuum L.) en la región irrigada por el acuífero, Calera, Zacatecas, México

Published: August 2022

En México los sistemas productivos de chile (Capsicum spp.) se han intensif icado gradualmente a f in de obtener mejores rendimientos y generar mayores ingresos, situación que ha posicionado al país como segundo productor y principal exportador de chile en el mundo al generar en promedio al año alrededor de dos billones de pesos por concepto de exportación; no obstante, la intensif icación de algunas prácticas asociadas a esta actividad agrícola han generado infertilidad y salinización del suelo, motivo por el cual el objetivo de la investigación sea evaluar la calidad agronómica del suelo de diferentes áreas productoras de chile en la región del acuífero Calera del estado de Zacatecas. Durante dos ciclos consecutivos se realizó un muestreo de suelos apegado a la NOM‑021‑RECNAT-2000 en parcelas destinadas cultivó chile a f in de determinar los parámetros de fertilidad y f isicoquímicos. Los resultados aportaron evidencia de la variedad de agroquímicos y del excedente de fertilizantes fosforados y potásicos que se aplican durante el ciclo productivo, situación que eleva considerablemente los costos. El contenido de sales que se encontró en el suelo fue bajo con una relación media de absorción de sodio, lo que los clasif ica como C1-S2; no se registraron altas concentraciones de sales sódicas y los valores de CE fueron bajos, sin embargo, las concentraciones de nutrientes fueron muy bajas a pesar de la neutralidad del pH. Esas características pueden atribuirse a que son suelos con alto contenido de arena con problemas de compactación por el sistema convencional mecanizado y por la falta de estrategias de conservación, por lo tanto, la dinámica para la producción de chile en la región está impactando de manera negativa sobre la calidad del suelo.

Public service motivation (PSM) is an important concept in the field of public management. The current study aimed to examine the relationship between the quality of work-life (QWL) and PSM of public sector employees. It also investigated how the person-organization fit (P-O fit) influences this relationship. To test our conceptual model, data was collected from 253 faculty members of public universities through a self-administered survey questionnaire. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated a significant positive relationship between QWL and PSM. The findings also demonstrated that P-O fit strengthens the positive association between QWL and PSM.
Technopreneurship Education: The Way to Rebuild COVID-19 Affected Economy
Authors: Qasim Yashfeen , Mahmood Zulaikha
Published: August 2022

Technopreneurship is a new mode of entrepreneurship that can help us rebuild the devastated economy. With COVID-19 posing rising unemployment and growth related challenges, technopreneurship can prove to be rewarding by decreasing the burden of government, improving socioeconomic conditions, and creating employment opportunities. Technopreneurship has gained significant traction in Pakistan and successive governments have made considerable efforts to promote this concept. In this regard, universities have been directed to include courses of entrepreneurship and IT in their graduation programs, since universities play a major role in transforming the youth into competent professionals. However, actual technopreneurial activities are still limited. Since the efforts to support technopreneurship are ongoing, the current study tends to evaluate the extent to which educational institutes contribute to these efforts. For this reason, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with technopreneurs to take their viewpoint regarding the courses of entrepreneurship and IT taught to them and the role of these courses in their success. Thematic analysis was performed on the collected data. The findings identified that although the courses offered by universities are a motivator for students to adopt technopreneurship as a field, still there exist some significant gaps in teaching methodology and course design. There is a need for additional and latest courses, field-experienced faculty, and the overhauling of the curriculum to create more successful technopreneurs. Suggestions were also provided at the end of the study regarding how educational institutes can strategize to create more technopreneurs in the future. The current study was limited to the vicinity of Lahore, as time and resources were not sufficient to cover other cities. It used a mixture of purposive and snowball sampling techniques which may have impacted the findings, since the individuals in the population did not have an equal chance of being selected for the sample.
Influence of Corporate Governance on Sustainability Disclosure in Bangladesh
Authors: Sarkar Shakhawat Hossain
Published: August 2022

This research aims to investigate the relationship between an organization’s corporate governance and sustainability disclosure in Bangladesh. The study further designates sustainability reporting disclosure practices. The study used content scrutiny of the yearly statement of 175 companies listed in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) for the year 2018, applying determinants count procedure and ordinary least square (OLS) regression analysis. Findings revealed that the level of sustainability reported among the listed companies in Bangladesh is deficient. Board independence and audit independence have a positive relationship with sustainability reports, but the female members in the board, audit committee size, and corporate governance compliance index have a negative relationship with sustainability as reporting. The board size of the companies is not a significant determinant of sustainability reported. The use of content analysis method for the measurement of sustainability report considering the quantity and ignoring the quality of disclosure, data consideration for only one year may contain subjectivity matter from the researcher’s perspective. Future research should be conducted based on content analysis with a mixed method to increase the quality. The findings of this study guided the essentials for step-up and the pursuance of corporate governance on sustainability exposure. This study contributes to works of literature on the association of corporate governance with sustainability disclosure.

Published: August 2022

Greenhouses used for agricultural production are structures to partially control soil and climate conditions such as temperature, air humidity, radiation, wind, and atmospheric composition.  Thus, according to Cermeño (1990) protected cultivation has quantitative and qualitative advantages compared to field cultivation since productivity in the first system can be 2 to 3 times higher. Bamboo is considered a sustainable material because it is renewable, absorbs carbon dioxide, uses solar energy, and is easily incorporated into nature at your life cycle end. The aim of this paper was to analyze the technical feasibility of bamboo in the construction of a greenhouse for protected cultivation. For this, the aerodynamic and structural behavior was analyzed in order to obtain the safety margins for this construction. With the safety margins it was determined that bamboo is a plausible material for the construction of these structures.

Background/Introduction: WHO recommended ‘ready to use therapeutic food’ (RUTF) for community-based management (CMAM) of severely malnourished children (SMC). This is often rejected by children. The objective is to identify and map the locally produced and socio-culturally acceptable food items to treat SMC. Methods: Through community participation, eight varieties of MAHAN Local therapeutic foods (LTFs) were prepared by tribal females at our center as per WHO norms with a shelf life of 4 weeks. LTFs with micronutrients were given at the feeding centers in the villages under supervision 3 - 4 times a day. Results: Multiple, palatable, culturally acceptable, safe, feasible with local womanpower, and cost-effective recipes were developed. Hence, our LTFs are qualitatively superior to other therapeutic foods. This mapping exercise provides a ready reference to other government or non-government organizations for CMAM. Conclusion: MAHAN-LTF is a multiple, palatable, generalizable, and sustainable therapeutic food and are being used in other tribal blocks of India.

Стратегические дисбалансы экономической политики
Authors: Калинин А.М. , Самохвалов В.А.
Published: August 2022

Рассмотрена российская экономическая политика с позиции стратегических приоритетов. Отсутствие национальной экономической стратегии привело к тому, что почти по каждому из направлений государственной политики сформировались свои наборы документов стратегического планирования, реализуемые на практике на основе различных принципов. Как следствие, по базовым направлениям экономической политики выявляются противоречия, устранение которых могло бы повысить эффективность действий государства. На конкретных примерах последних лет показано, что в действиях государства присутствует внутренняя логика, они являются, как минимум, результативными, однако в совокупности нередко противоречат друг другу и зачастую – политическим заявлениям, что порождает низкое доверие к стратегиям, программам и планам. В результате утрачивается роль стратегий как инструментов коммуникации между государством и экономическими агентами. Исправить положение могут определение действительных приоритетов проводимой политики, их фиксация в форме национальной стратегии и обновление всего набора документов стратегического планирования.

Сотрудничество как лучший способ конкуренции (на примере исследований и проектов по экологии Байкала)
Authors: Воронов Ю.П.
Published: August 2022

В статье на примере проектов, заявленных на конкурс по улучшению экологии озера Байкал (ликвидации отходов Байкальского целлюлозно-бумажного комбината), рассматриваются проблемы сочетания сотрудничества и конкуренции в сфере инновационных технологий. Проанализированы 35 наиболее обоснованных проектов по направлениям улучшения экологии: «Термические технологии», «Очистка воды», «Получение монолитов и брикетов», «Микробиология» и «Восстановление почвы», выделены кластеры проектов, которые не конкурируют между собой, а взаимодополняют друг друга. Для комплексной реализации всех 35 проектов в рамках единой программы потребовалось добавить ещё три проекта, которые отсутствовали в исходном наборе и не участвовали в конкурсе. Автор делает вывод, что формирование единого проекта на основании совокупности проектов, представляемых на конкурсы, может стать новым инструментом ускорения научно-технического прогресса, в частности, и в сфере экологии.
Индустрия переработки твердых коммунальных отходов на пути к «зеленому» росту

В статье анализируется национальная (Российская Федерация) и региональная (Мурманская область) политика в сфере обращения с отходами с позиции концепции «зеленого роста» и дается экологическая и экономическая оценка её будущих эффектов. Исследование выполнено на примере Мурманской области, Арктическом регионе с развитой инфраструктурой по переработке отходов. В регионе уже действуют мусоросжигательный завод и мусоросортировочный комплекс. Экстраполяция полученных для Мурманской области результатов на уровень Российской Федерации позволила сделать вывод о том, что в случае утилизации ТКО, размещенных на свалках в 2020 г., Россия могла бы сократить выбросы парниковых газов (в СО2 – эквиваленте) на величину, сопоставимую с объемом выбросов такой страны, как Алжир. Установлено, что основным препятствием на пути к полной переработке ТКО в Мурманской области является отсутствие прибыльных рынков для сбыта вторичного сырья. При этом высокие затраты в создание новой системы обращения с отходами, направленной на увеличение доли переработки ТКО, привели к росту коммунальных платежей. Для снижения эксплуатационных расходов и повышения рентабельности создаваемой системы рекомендовано осуществлять сортировку отходов непосредственно у источника их образования.

Previous studies have indicated that traditional gender beliefs and religiosity have a negative impact on liberal sexual relations in Western societies. The present research utilized data from the 2011 World Value Survey (WVS) of Turkey (N=1,605) to examine the relationship between traditional gender roles, religion, and attitudes toward homosexuality and pre-marital sex, representatives of liberal sexual morality. Guided by a theoretical framework that synthesizes traditional gender roles and religious perspectives, several hypotheses were created and tested. Results from logistic regression models reveal that even though both the gender roles and religiosity are significant factors that play an important role in negative attitudes toward homosexuality and pre-marital sex in Turkey, traditional gender roles seem to be the strongest factor of conservative attitudes toward sexual relations. The theoretical implications of the current research were discussed for future studies.

Replicating and Extending Effects of “Achievement Gap” Discourse
Authors: Quinn David M. , Desruisseaux Tara-Marie
Published: August 2022

Scholars argue that the “racial achievement gap” frame perpetuates deficit mindsets. Previously, we found that teachers gave lower priority to racial equity when disparities were framed as “achievement gaps” (AGs) versus “inequality in educational outcomes.” In this brief, we analyze data from two survey experiments using a teacher sample and an Amazon MTurk sample. We find that (a) the effect of AG language on equity prioritization is moderated by implicit bias, with larger negative effects among teachers holding stronger anti-Black/pro-White stereotypes; (b) the negative effect of AG language replicates with non-teachers; and (c) AG language causes respondents to express more negative racial stereotypes.
Obtaining coatings based on MoSi2 by reaction synthesis
Authors:   Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), Astapov A.N.
Published: August 2022

Coatings based on MoSi2 on a ceramic matrix composite substrate were obtained by reaction synthesis using the technology of slip-firing deposition of powder compositions at 1500 °C and a pressure of 8–9 mPa. The mechanisms of reaction interaction in the Mo–Si–C and Mo–Si–C–HfB2 systems are proposed, which determine the synthesis of secondary phases MoSi2, Mo4,8Si3С0,6, MoB and HfС. Thermodynamic calculations of possible chemical reactions have been carried out. Potential reasons for the high porosity of the synthesized coatings are analyzed.

Background: Crown root is the main part of root system, which performs an important role in rice growth and development, especially in nutrition and water assimilation. Previously, we reported negative feedback regulation loop between Oryza sativa DNA BINDING WITH ONE FINGER 11 (OsDOF11) and cytokinin by Oryza sativa CYTOKININ OXIDASE/DEHYDROGENASE 4 (OsCKX4) in rice development. Methods: Reverse transcription quantitative RT-PCR analyses was used to analyze the related gene transcript level. Nitrogen and hormone were measured by CHN-Nitrogen analyser and Liquid chromatography mass spectrometer, respectively. Exogenous application of cytokinin and [13C] sucrose labeled stable isotope uptake experiments help us to explain the relationship between OsDOF11 and cytokinin. Results: We demonstrate the role of OsDOF11 in root development. We note that the loss function of OsDOF11 displays the reduced crown roots number, low activity of nitrogen assimilation and low content of cytokinin and auxin. The expression level of WUSCHEL-related homeobox (OsWOX11), A-type response regulator 2 (OsRR2), OsRR3, and OsCKX4 were decreased in osdof11-1, as well as in OsDOF11 RNA interference 9 mutants (RNAi-9 lines). Through Exogenous application of multiple concentrations of cytokinin as treatment to osdof11-1 mutant, RNAi-9 lines, and wild type (WT). We found that the crown roots number of osdof11-1 plants were rescued as the cytokinin concentration increased gradually from 1 μM to 10 μM, but the effect was weaker in RNAi-9 line. And cytokinin inhibited sucrose uptake activity from Murashige-Skoog medium with 3.0% sucrose (MS30) by OsDOF11 in rice root. Conclusions: OsDOF11 promotes crown root formation via cytokinin in oryza sativa. These results provide a physiological basis for further analysis of the OsDOF11 function of in rice root development.

Religion in the host country and immigrants’ membership in civic associations
Authors: Damian Elena , Voicu Malina
Published: August 2022

In this paper, the relation between host country’s religious culture and the civic involvement of first-generation immigrants is examined. Using data from the European Value Study 2008, multilevel logistic regression analyses are applied to examine whether there is a relation between the religious denomination that prevails in the host country or the level of ethnic diversity and immigrant civic involvement in religious and secular organizations. The findings indicate that the percentages of Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or Muslim believers in the destination country are negatively associated with membership in religious organizations, while for membership in the secular organizations we find no effect. Furthermore, the results reveal no support for a relation between the level of ethnic diversity and civic involvement in either of the two organizations. These results are further discussed in the article.

The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines describe modular standards that journals can adopt to promote open science. The TOP Factor quantifies the extent to which journals have adopted the TOP Guidelines in their policies, but there is no validated instrument to assess journal implementation of TOP. Moreover, raters might differ in their assessments of the same journal policies. Instruments with objective and clear questions are needed to assess TOP implementation reliably. This study examined the interrater reliability and agreement of three new instruments for assessing TOP implementation in journal policies (instructions to authors), procedures (manuscript submission systems), and practices (journal articles). Independent raters used these instruments to assess the policies, procedures, and practices of 339 journals from the behavioral, social, and health sciences. We calculated interrater agreement (IRA) and interrater reliability (IRR) for each standard in TOP (10 journal policy standards) and for each question in our instruments (13 policy questions, 26 procedure questions, 14 practice questions). IRA was high for each standard in TOP; however, IRA might have been high by chance because most standards were not implemented by most journals. No standard had “excellent” IRR. Three standards had “good”, one had “moderate”, and six had “poor” IRR. Similarly, IRA was high for most instrument questions, and IRR was “moderate” or worse for 62%, 54%, and 43% of policy, procedure, and practice questions, respectively. We conclude that clarifying the distinctions among different levels of implementation for each TOP standard might improve its implementation and assessment.
A Model and its Fit lie in the Eye of the Beholder: Long Live the Sum Score
Authors: Edelsbrunner Peter Adriaan
Published: August 2022

Researchers in Psychology, Education, and related fields are often unsure about whether they should use sum scores, or estimatesfrom latent variable models (e.g., factor analysis, item response theory) in their statistical analyses. I show throughargumentation that sum scores do not automatically imply any of these models and that researchers are free to use them if theybelieve that they have a good theoretical reason to do so.
Pilot study: Melatonin modulates responses to emotional stimuli in emotional Stroop task
Authors: Kurihara Misa , Hideki Ohira
Published: August 2022

Research has shown that melatonin, a sleep hormone, has an impact on sleepiness, body temperature, and cognitive performance. However, how melatonin affects cognitive performance to neutral and emotional stimuli, and how time and light separately or jointly affect melatonin have been unclear. This study explored the effect of melatonin on task performance and the effect of light and time on melatonin. This study found melatonin modulates performance in an emotional Stroop task but not a Stroop task. Melatonin modulates reactions to emotional stimuli, but not to neutral stimuli. Moreover, light and time did not influence melatonin. It is expected to study the effect of basal melatonin on social and cognitive tasks further.
Following the human point: Research with nonhuman animals since Povinelli, Nelson, and Boysen (1990)
Authors: Kuhlmeier Valerie A.
Published: August 2022

For this special issue in honor of Dr. Sarah (Sally) Boysen’s career, we review studies on point following in nonhuman animals. Of the 125 papers that we documented on this topic published since the publication of Povinelli, Nelson, and Boysen (1990), 93 (74%) were published in the past fifteen years, including 21 in the past five years, indicating that this topic is still an active area of interest in the field of animal behavior and cognition. We present results of a survey of publication trends, discussing the species tested and the sample sizes, and we note methodological considerations and current multi-laboratory approaches. We then categorize and synthesize the research questions addressed in these studies, which have been at both the ultimate level (e.g., questions related to evolutionary adaptiveness and phylogenetic differences) and proximate level (e.g., questions related to experiential and temperamental processes). Throughout, we consider future directions for this area of research.
Cognitive and Interactive Mechanisms for Mutual Understanding in Conversation
Authors: Micklos Ashley , Woensdregt Marieke
Published: August 2022

Everyday conversation is, as the term suggests, a frequent and seemingly effortless phenomenon. However, when we zoom in we see that the process of achieving mutual understanding in conversation involves both complex social reasoning and finely-tuned interactive mechanisms. Referential communication provides an excellent case study for what makes everyday language interactions complex: people recruit an intricate web of cognitive capacities and interactive resources in order to get their message across. In terms of cognitive capacities, reaching mutual understanding in conversation involves social reasoning in order to establish common ground and take into account one’s conversational partner when producing and interpreting utterances. Specifically, people continuously adapt to their conversational partner by keeping track of what information is or isn’t shared (based on the situational context, preceding discourse, and general knowledge), and adjusting their utterances and interpretations accordingly. In terms of interactive resources, mechanisms that allow us to keep a conversation on track (e.g. backchannels) and the mechanisms that allow us to recover from breakdowns in communication (i.e. repair) contribute to mutual understanding. Specifically, other-initiated repair, a conversational phenomenon that has been documented cross-linguistically and observed in experimental settings, is an interactional resource for (re)establishing intersubjectivity between interlocutors. The historic separation between cognitive capacities on the one hand and interactive resources on the other hand has created an artificial divide, when in fact both mechanisms interact with, and even presuppose, one another.

Individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are more likely than non-depressed individuals to use emotion regulation strategies that decrease pleasant emotions (e.g., distraction from positive stimuli) and increase unpleasant emotions (e.g., negative rumination). If such strategies are actively chosen, these choices may partly reflect weaker motivation for pleasant emotions or stronger motivation for unpleasant emotions. Therefore, this investigation tested, for the first time, whether such strategies are actively chosen, even when alternatives are available. In Study 1, using a behavioral task, MDD participants (N=38) were more likely than healthy controls (N=39) to choose to use distraction over positive rumination in response to pleasant stimuli, resulting in reductions in pleasant affect. When instructed to choose the strategy that would make them feel better, however, MDD participants did not differ from controls in their strategy choices. In Study 2, using Ecological Momentary Assessments, MDD participants (N=58) were more likely than controls (N=62) to use distraction from pleasant emotions and to use negative rumination in daily life. This pattern of strategy use was predicted by stronger motivation for unpleasant emotions among MDD participants, compared to controls. Stronger motivation for unpleasant emotions in daily life also predicted increases in unpleasant affect and decreases in pleasant affect. Findings suggest that compared to non-depressed individuals, people with MDD are more likely to choose emotion regulation strategies that decrease pleasant emotions.
