The objective is to understand the ‘mind’ of the respondent regarding the solution of a problem, using a projective technique incorporating Mind Genomics. Respondents were presented with a social problem: securing affordable access to medical help. The objective was to understand how they responded to the problem, based upon their reactions to test vignettes, combinations of names of 16 individuals. The names represented different positions of authority, personality, and behaviors. The vignettes were constructed by combining names to create a group of individuals tasked with the job of solving the issue. Each respondent rated 24 unique vignettes. Experiment 1 instructed the respondent to evaluate the likelihood that the group of individuals in a test combination could cooperate to discover a solution. The experimental design enabled the discovery between success and each of the 16 individuals, suggesting three clear mind-sets of respondents, respectively; those who believed that everyday individuals would solve the problem, those who believed that people in power would solve the problem, and those who believed that celebrity personages would solve the problem.

Within the evaluated fancies, a particular importance has been shown to be played by the manner to imagine the androgyny aspect, and the pleasure for pegging.

We follow the approach used by students of the Jewish Talmud. The students are presented with a case or topic (an ANIMAL which wanders around destroying), instructed to create four questions relevant to the topic, and then to provide four answers (elements) to each question. The elements are mixed into vignettes according to an underlying experimental design, ensuring that each respondent evaluates a unique set of 24 vignettes. Each respondent is told to adopt one of two judgment criteria, to be lenient or to be stringent in terms of evaluating the evidence presented by the vignette. Each vignette is rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from innocent to guilty. External respondents evaluate the vignettes, and the data presented in immediately analyzed form. The process provides a structured path for students to think in a creative manner when setting up the study and when they discuss the results from the real experiment. The students emerge as creative critical thinkers and experimenters. The opportunity now exists for students to grow in their thinking, with concrete results, and exciting, ‘new-to-the-world’ discoveries, both motiving the student at the time of the ‘experiment’, as well as generating a student-created portfolio of studies showcasing the ability to think at a deeper level.","PeriodicalId":352931,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Journal: Research Open","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129917967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variety of trials have shown substantial reductions in child mortality through case management by CHVs, guided by case guide [3]. Abstract Health experts globally are currently concerned with health systems strengthening through community engagement. Community Health Volunteers is a core element of community engagement although confronted by the problem of high attrition rates and hence high cost of training to sustain community level service delivery through volunteers. This paper focuses on the identification of volunteers likely to be retained, at the time of selection by a theory based assessment framework to guide investment in volunteer training and support. Methodology The study was undertaken in three stages starting with literature review to identify theories to underpin the development of a volunteer assessment framework, and to inform the testing of the validity and reliability of the framework in determining task preference. A cross sectional survey was carried out to investigate the relationship between volunteer motives and task preference by comparing motives and task preference among volunteers with non-volunteers in Western Kenya. We obtained the eight motives we examined from literature, and tasks from a list of common health activities undertaken by volunteers in Kenya. We rated the task preference of 1062 respondents for each of the tasks on a 1-5 Likert scale. We compared task preference ratings by motives and volunteer status. Findings Volunteer motive constructs were identified from literature guided by theories underpinning volunteerism. Theories identified were Social exchange theory, Functional theory and Role identity theory. Eight motives constructs were identified which were grounded on these theories. Altruistic motive was strongly associated with most tasks investigated. Non-volunteers showed greater association with materialistic tasks. Routine, long duration health tasks such as mother and child healthcare and curative care were significantly associated more with altruistic than with material gain motives. Short-term tasks such as helping in disease outbreaks, and participation in immunization campaigns were associated with both altruistic and material gain motives. The self-seeking motives tended to be associated only with short-term tasks. Conclusion: The resultant volunteer assessment framework consists of two core constructs, altruistic value and material gain. They are effective in identifying the motives of those likely to volunteer long term and short term","PeriodicalId":352931,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Journal: Research Open","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125041684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The opportunities for making money through technology emerge when the benefits of the technology can be communicated either to users or to investors or both. In the world of startup accelerators, hungry investors, and the public which has learned to accept the blistering pace of innovation as part of today. It has become increasingly important to communicate one’s invention in a way which convinces the listener and excites the potential investor. It should not be surprising then that there are classes on creating the so-called ‘pitch deck,’ the document designed to excite investors. There is a lot less interest in finding out just what information might excite the prospective purchasers, simply because, in the scheme of things, starting up and raising money are more important than initial and then repeat sales. It is no wonder that many companies know what to say to investors about the financial aspects of the product but do not know what to say about the product itself. That is, these start-ups but also many later stage companies are at a loss to describe the mind of their investors and/or the mind of their customers. This means that, when challenged, virtually all startups struggle, having overlooked the relatively minor effort to really understand in a scientific, discipline manner, people’s reactions to what they are offering. With that in mind, the opportunity arose to use Mind Genomics for a new product idea, patented in the U.S. (Patent No. US 10,340,546 B1) on Jul 2, 2019 (Figure 1). Simply put, the device is a biocompatible, self-recharging micro battery, as small as a grain of rice, that can be safely and effectively implanted within the human body to power at least one implanted medical device, using the patient’s own body fluids. This micro-battery can communicate with the physician, giving advance warning of an imminent heart attack or the presence of a serious communicable disease.
