Duval and Wicklund (1972) proposed that our self-regulation can either be directed inward and toward the self or directed outward and toward the environment. We are usually focused outward, but there are times when our attention is turned inward.
Self-regulation can be either inward or outward.

Recall that echo chambers are social environments in which persons and groups only interact and exchange information and perspectives with others who share their views and perspectives. Thus, echo chambers can influence and reinforce how individuals rationalize inconsistencies in their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and thereby reduce the stress they would otherwise experience through cognitive dissonance. Without intervention, echo chambers work to retain cognitive dissonance rather than foster the change needed to productively resolve it altogether.
Echo chambers can reinforce how individuals rationalize inconsistencies in their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, leading to cognitive dissonance.

Depersonalization can be defined as a feeling of unreality or detachment from oneself. Individuals describe this feeling as an out-of-body experience where you are an observer of your thoughts, feelings, and physical being. Symptoms of derealization include feelings of unreality or detachment from the world—whether it be individuals, objects, or their surroundings.

Conversion disorder occurs when an individual presents with one or more symptoms of voluntary motor or sensory function (APA, 2013). Common motor symptoms include weakness or paralysis, abnormal movements (e.g., tremors), and gait abnormalities (i.e., limping). Additionally, sensory symptoms such as altered, reduced, or absent skin sensations, and vision or hearing impairment are also reported in many individuals. Less commonly seen are epileptic seizures and episodes of unresponsiveness resembling fainting or coma (Marshall et al., 2013).

ODD - A common treatment option is parent management training (PMT). The goal of parenting training is to help parents implement consistent parenting strategies to increase structure and predictability. CD - Multisystemic therapy (MST) is an intensive treatment option that has demonstrated efficacious results for the treatment of CD, especially in cases of more extreme conduct problems. MST is a therapy that takes place in the child/adolescent’s home as well as school and overall community.
For ODD a common treatment option is Parent management training. For CD Multisystemic therapy (MST) is an intensive treatment option.

Narcissistic personality disorder also centers around the individual; however, with narcissistic personality disorder, individuals display a pattern of grandiosity along with a lack of empathy for others (APA, 2013). The grandiose sense of self leads to an overvaluation of their abilities and accomplishments. They often come across as boastful and pretentious, repeatedly proclaiming their superior achievements. These proclamations may also be fantasized as a means to enhance their success or power. Oftentimes they identify themselves as “special” and will only interact with others of high status.

Individuals with ODD and CD appear to have a slower resting heart rates and lower reaction to fear. Research has also revealed functional and structural differences in individuals with ODD and CD. Regarding CD, having a caregiver or close relative that has been diagnosed with CD leads to a higher risk of a child developing CD. Children of parents with severe alcohol use, depression, bipolar, or schizophrenia, ADHD, or CD are at higher risk as well (APA, 2013). Family history may be particularly predictive of a child developing childhood onset (considered to have the worse prognosis; APA, 2013).

The final category includes both hallucinogens and cannabis- both of which produce sensory changes after ingestion. While hallucinogens are known for their ability to produce more severe delusions and hallucinations, cannabis also has the capability of producing delusions or hallucinations; however, this typically occurs only when large amounts of cannabis are ingested. More commonly, cannabis has been known to have stimulant and depressive effects, thus classifying itself in a group of its own due to the many different effects of the substance.

The pathophysiological link for the causal link between sodium intake and HBP is as follows: salt consumption increases water retention (think hypotonicity: the cells have a higher solute content leading to passive transport, effusion, or delivery of water inside the cell), thus leading to higher blood flow volume and consequently pressure. In addition, these results may be exacerbated through high sodium intake by changes in vessel wall resistances (patency), inner vessel inflammation, changes in vessel morphology, and abnormalities.

Psychodynamic theory suggests that somatic symptoms present as a response against unconscious emotional issues. Two factors initiate and maintain somatic symptoms: primary gain and secondary gain. Primary gains produce internal motivators, whereas secondary gains produce external motivators (Jones, Carmel & Ball, 2008). When you relate this to somatic disorders, the primary gain, according to psychodynamic theorists, provides protection from the anxiety or emotional symptoms and/or conflicts. This need for protection is expressed via a physical symptom such as pain, headache, etc. The secondary gain, the external experiences from the physical symptoms that maintain these physical symptoms, can range from attention and sympathy to missed work, obtaining financial assistance, or psychiatric disability, to name a few.

By definition incremental innovations build on and improve upon existing technologies. Accordingly, end-users have a pre-existing sense of familiarity and general understanding of the potential value of the new technology that is being proposed. They are thereby quicker to adopt the new solution as compared to radical alternatives.

Delirium is characterized by a notable disturbance in attention or awareness and cognitive performance that is significantly altered from one’s usual behavior. Disturbances in attention are often manifested as difficulty sustaining, shifting, or focusing attention. Additionally, an individual experiencing an episode of delirium will have a disruption in cognition, including confusion of where they are. Disorganized thinking, incoherent speech, and hallucinations and delusions may also be observed during periods of delirium. The onset of delirium is abrupt, occurring for several hours. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can last from days to several months.

The classic theory of deindividuation was first introduced by Festinger, Pepitone, & Newcomb (1952) looking to take a more scientific approach to the study of the crowd’s impact on the individual. They coined the term deindividuation to explain the effects of losing your own personal identity in a crowd, which allows you to engage in behaviors you wouldn’t normally do alone. These ideas were expanded on by Zimbardo (1969) and he specified that there were conditions that must be present for deindividuation to occur in a group setting.

Closer examination of the word abnormal indicates a move away from what is normal, or the mean (i.e., what would be considered average and in this case in relation to behavior), and so is behavior that infrequently occurs (sort of an outlier in our data). Our culture, or the totality of socially transmitted behaviors, customs, values, technology, attitudes, beliefs, art, and other products that are particular to a group, determines what is normal. Thus, a person is said to be deviant when he or she fails to follow the stated and unstated rules of society, called social norms. Social norms changes over time due to shifts in accepted values and expectations. For instance, homosexuality was taboo in the U.S. just a few decades ago, but today, it is generally accepted. Likewise, PDAs, or public displays of affection, do not cause a second look by most people unlike the past when these outward expressions of love were restricted to the privacy of one’s own house or bedroom. In the U.S., crying is generally seen as a weakness for males. However, if the behavior occurs in the context of a tragedy such as the Vegas mass shooting on October 1, 2017, in which 58 people were killed and about 500 were wounded while attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival, then it is appropriate and understandable. Finally, consider that statistically deviant behavior is not necessarily negative. Genius is an example of behavior that is not the norm.

Given that a traumatic experience often precipitates dissociative disorders, it should not be surprising that there is a high comorbidity between dissociative disorders and PTSD. Similarly, depressive disorders are also commonly found in combination with dissociative disorders, likely due to the impact the disorders have on social and emotional functioning. In individuals with dissociative amnesia, a wide range of emotions related to their inability to recall memories during the episode often present once the amnesia episode is in remission (APA, 2013). These emotions frequently contribute to the development of a depressive episode.

It is believed that before European contact, there were at least 2,000 Native American languages in over 200 families. Now only about 200 languages survive. The most spoken languages are Quechua in Peru, Nahuatl in Mexico, and Mayan languages such as Yucatec and Kaqchikel in Mexico and Guatemala, each spoken by one to seven million. In North America the most spoken are Hopi and Navajo in the American Southwest and Cree, Eskimo, Crow, and Lakhota, in the northern US and Canada, each spoken by thousands to tens of thousands of people.

An n-gram language model is a kind of probabilistic model of a language – a model which tells you the probability of a sequence of words being part of the language, or the probability of the next word in a sequence. N-grams are sequences of words taken from data, such as two-word sequences (bigrams) and three-word sequences (trigrams). An n-gram model records the frequency of every n-gram in the corpus of linguistic data used – or the probability of one word following another, or of following a preceding sequence if you are using n-grams with n larger than two. These models have many applications, including auto-correct, automatic text generation, and speech recognition. In all these cases, the model helps by allowing the computer to guess the most likely next word or phrase.

The prevalence rate for acute stress disorder varies across the country and by traumatic event. Accurate prevalence rates for acute stress disorder are difficult to determine as patients must seek treatment within 30 days of the traumatic event. Despite that, it is estimated that anywhere between 7-30% of individuals experiencing a traumatic event will develop acute stress disorder (National Center for PTSD). While acute stress disorder is not a good predictor of who will develop PTSD, approximately 50% of those with acute stress disorder do eventually develop PTSD. As with PTSD, acute stress disorder is more common in females than males; however, unlike PTSD, there may be some neurobiological differences in the stress response, gender differences in the emotional and cognitive processing of trauma, and sociocultural factors that contribute to females developing acute stress disorder more often than males.

Schizoaffective disorder is characterized by the psychotic symptoms included in schizophrenia and a concurrent uninterrupted period of a major mood episode—either a depressive or manic episode. It should be noted that because the loss of interest in pleasurable activities is a common symptom of schizophrenia, to meet the criteria for a depressive episode within schizoaffective disorder, the individual must present with a pervasive depressed mood. While schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder do not have a significant mood component, schizoaffective disorder requires the presence of a depressive or manic episode for the majority, if not the total duration of the disorder.

A neuron's resting potential is -70mV. This potential fluctuates as a result of the signal received from other neurons (i.e., the graded potential). If the neuron receives a sufficient amount of EPSP, enough to reach the threshold of -55mV at the axon hillock, it creates an all-or-none phenomenon called action potential. The reaching of the -55mV threshold at the axon hillock opens the first of the many sodium channels that lines up all the way through the axon to the terminal buttons where the neurotransmitters are located. The electrical signal travels throughout the axon, one sodium channel at a time or jumping from one myelin sheath to sodium channel back to the myelin sheath. Once the signal reaches the terminal buttons, it causes the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. Those binds to the receptors of the postsynaptic neurons, influencing its likelihood to fire an action potential.

The field decided to combine both disorders into one disorder, ADHD, with specifications on the type of ADHD - ADHD Predominantly Inattentive type, ADHD Predominately Hyperactive/Impulsive type, and ADHD Combined type). Now, with the DSM-5 (APA, 2013), we still consider all presentations to fall under one disorder, ADHD. However, instead of types, which give the impression of a stable, unchanging, diagnosis, we now use “presentations.” This change occurred because we began to realize that, although someone may exhibit more hyperactive/impulsive symptoms at one point in life (e.g., childhood), at a later point (e.g., adulthood), they may come to exhibit more inattentive/distractibility symptoms.

The Jigsaw classroom was created in the early 1970s by Elliot Aronson and his students at the University of Texas and the University of California (Aronson et al., 1978). It has a proven track record of reducing racial conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. These include reducing absenteeism, increasing a student’s liking of school, and improving test performance. Like a jigsaw puzzle, each student represents a piece and is needed to complete and fully understand the final product. Results show that once a group begins to work well, barriers break down and the students show liking for one another and empathy too.

Semantic role labeling is the process of assigning semantic roles to the constituents of a sentence—primarily to the arguments and adjuncts of verbs, but sometimes also to other constituents. The roles labeled are those called thematic roles by linguists, which describe the relational structures of events, for example who is acting (the agent) on whom (the patient) with what (the instrument). Although the thematic roles agent and patient are similar to grammatical relations (subject, object, etc.) they are not the same. For example the subject of a verb can be a Patient or a Theme, not an Agent: The window (patient) broke when the rock (theme) hit it. Other typical thematic roles include recipient, location, goal, and experiencer. The roles are functions of the verbs’ meanings, or of whatever predicate the roles are arguments of. SRL could be used for better natural language understanding, such as in query answering or automatic summarization.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is another obsessive disorder; however, the focus of these obsessions is with perceived defects or flaws in their physical appearance. A key feature of these obsessions is that they are not observable to others. Due to the distressing nature of the obsessions regarding one’s body, individuals with BDD also engage in compulsive behaviors that take up a considerable amount of time in one’s day.

POS tagging is the task in Natural Language Processing (NLP) of assigning parts-of-speech to tokens in a sentence. Typically in English, POS tags are based on the Penn Treebank tagset and there are 45 different tags. This task is not straightforward, as tokens can be different tags depending on their contexts (for instance, consider the following sentences: "May is my favorite month." and "You may want to wait." In the first, "May" is a proper noun (NNP), and in the latter, "may" is a modal (MD)). There are multiple algorithms to assign POS tags to tokens. One is via a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) in which the implementer would create lookup tables of probabilities based on a training set, then multiply the odds together against a testing set to form a prediction. For example, unigram-as-tags could be a lookup table, in which each token seen in training is given a count as each tag it is seen as. Other lookup tables include tag-to-tag probabilities, bigram-as-tags probabilities, suffixed-token-as-tag probabilities (i.e., tokens ending in -ing), and capitalized-token-as-tag probabilities. Then, in testing, multiply the probabilities together that correspond to any given token and predict the label that is the most likely. Other algorithms to handle POS tagging include Maximum Entropy Markov Models (MEMM) and recurrent neural networks (RNN). The gold standard for POS tagging currently is achieving a 97% accuracy.

Relational databases use relationships between multiple tables to store data more efficiently than a flat database (like Excel). In a relational database, tables are joined by designated key fields. A flat database (like Excel) treats tables as independent of each other. That is, the flat database does not use the concepts of a primary key and relationships.

A public IP address is one that is accessible, like a phone number. A private IP address comes from a special subset of the IPV4 addresses: 10.*.*.* 172.16.*.* 172.31.*.* and 192.168.*.* When you sign up for internet service, your router gets a public IP address. Anyone can use these addresses for free and because they are hidden from the public, there are no collisions with other people using the same IP address.

Education as a worldview source and prior knowledge as an audience analysis category are closely aligned. Recall prior knowledge provides the communicator with insight into what and how much or how little target audience members know about a topic or issue. Education as a worldview source emphasizes that the information and knowledge we acquire through education influences how we see, interpret, and understand the world around us. Thus, the communicator can draw on prior knowledge to assess what their target audience likely knows about a topic or issue and education as a worldview source to consider how this prior knowledge likely influences the way target audience members make sense of the topic or issue.

Did you know that employers have recognized that social loafing in the workplace is serious enough of an issue that they now closely monitor what their employees are doing, in relation to surfing the web, online shopping, playing online games, managing finances, searching for another job, checking Facebook, sending a text, or watching Youtube videos? They are, and the phenomenon is called cyberloafing. Employees are estimated to spend from three hours a week up to 2.5 hours a day cyberloafing.

According to the DSM-5 (APA, 2013), the prevalence rate for anorexia nervosa among young women is 0.4%, whereas the prevalence rate for bulimia nervosa is 1%-1.5%. While BED is still a relatively new diagnosis, the estimated prevalence rate in females is 1.6%. Prevalence rates for males with anorexia or bulimia are unknown; however, research suggests the female-to-male ratio is approximately 10:1 for both disorders (APA, 2015). The estimated prevalence rate for BED in males is 0.8%. The ratio between females-to-males with BED is much less skewed than that in anorexia and bulimia.

The two most common types of depressive disorders are Major Depressive Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder. Persistent Depressive Disorder, previously known as Dysthymia, is thought to be a more chronic, less severe depression. Like previously mentioned, in order to be diagnosed with either major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder, the individual must never have had a manic or hypomanic episode. In addition to Major Depressive Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a newly created diagnosis that is classified as a depressive disorder. Symptoms of depression can generally be categorized into four categories to include mood, behavioral, cognitive, and physical symptoms.
Persistent Depressive Disorder is more chronic and less severe than Major Depressive Disorder, while Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a newly created diagnosis. Symptoms of depression can be categorized into four categories: mood, behavioral, cognitive, and physical.

Research suggests that while psychopharmacological interventions are more effective in rapidly reducing symptoms, psychotherapy, or even a combined treatment approach, are more effective in establishing long-term relief of symptoms. Rates of relapse for major depressive disorder are often associated with individuals whose onset was at a younger age (particularly adolescents), those who have already experienced multiple major depressive episodes, and those with more severe symptomology, especially those presenting with severe suicidal ideation and psychotic features.

A Naive Bayes model is a simple, fast, and quite accurate model. The computational cost for Naive Bayes model is small, so it runs pretty fast on the data. The Naive Bayes model performs better for discreate data than for continuous data, and it can be used for both binary and multiclass classification. However, to apply the Naive Bayes model, each feature should be independent to each other. In other words, the change of one feature should not affect other features. Since it's hard to find the dataset that has features which are totally independent, the pre-processing should be performed before using the Naive Bayes model.

Cluster B personality disorders have a wide range of occurrences in the general public. Antisocial personality disorder has an estimated prevalence rate of up to 3.3% of the population. It is more common among men, particularly those with substance abuse disorders, and in those from disadvantaged socioeconomic settings. While the majority of individuals with antisocial personality disorder end up incarcerated at some point during their lifetime, criminal activities appear to decline after the age of 40.

Detoxification refers to the medical supervision of withdrawal from a specified drug. While most detoxification programs are inpatient for increased monitoring, some programs allow for outpatient detoxification, particularly if the addiction is not as severe. As researchers continue to learn more about both the mechanisms of substances commonly abused, as well as the mechanisms in which the body processes these substances, alternative medications are created to essentially replace the drug in which the individual is dependent on. These agonist drugs provide the individual with a “safe” drug that has a similar chemical make-up to the addicted drug. Unlike agonist drugs, antagonist drugs block or change the effects of the addictive drug. The most commonly prescribed antagonist drugs are Disulfiram and Naloxone.

Individuals with a depressive disorder have a 17-fold increased risk for suicide over the age- and sex-adjusted general population rate. Features associated with an increased risk for death by suicide include anhedonia, living alone, being single, disconnecting socially, having access to a firearm, early life adversity, sleep disturbance, feelings of hopelessness, and problems with decision making. Women attempt suicide at a higher rate though men are more likely to complete suicide. In terms of bipolar disorders, the lifetime risk of suicide is estimated to be 20- to 30- fold greater than in the general population and 5-6% of individuals with bipolar disorder die by suicide. Like depressive disorders, women attempt suicide at a higher rate though lethal suicide is more common in men with bipolar disorder. About 1/3 of individuals with bipolar II disorder report a lifetime history of suicide attempt, which is similar in bipolar I disorder, though lethality of attempts is higher in individuals with bipolar II.

Binge-eating disorder is similar to bulimia nervosa in that it involves recurrent binge eating episodes along with feelings of lack of control during the binge-eating episode. The binge-eating episodes are associated with at least three of the following: eating quicker than usual, eating until uncomfortably full, eating large amounts even if not hungry, eating alone, and feeling disgust with oneself or being depressed. Despite the feelings of shame and guilt post-binge, individuals with BED will not engage in vomiting, excessive exercise, or other compensatory behaviors. These binge eating episodes occur on average, at least once a week for 3 months.
