The results showed that individuals who dated on the eve of sleeping and dreaming reported significantly higher frequencies of relationship dream characters than those who did not date beforehand. Furthermore, this difference increased as self-reported interest in entering a relationship decreased. Relationship status, sex, age, and whether participants were attracted to someone also affected the frequency and type of relationship characters in dream reports. These findings are discussed in the context of an extension to the continuity hypothesis of dreaming that describes human needs salient during wakefulness as driving dream content.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2466/09.CP.4.22","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72391462","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}

Repeated body movements are roughly categorized as rhythmic and discrete. However, the most effective mode of preparatory motion remains unclear. The present study utilized both modes of preparatory motion and compared subsequent performances. Twelve participants executed dart throwing after performing rhythmic, discrete, or no preparatory motion. Performance was statistically evaluated by comparing the error components, assumed contributions of each mode of preparatory motion. The results revealed that the mean value of the error component for the rhythmic mode was significantly smaller than that for the discrete mode. This suggests that the rhythmic mode of preparatory motion produced better dart-throwing performance.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85940423","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}

Sarantakos's research yielded many interesting findings with respect to children's academic performance, sexual orientation, use of alcohol and drugs, sexual deviance, and gender identity with respect to parents’ parenting values, relationship stability, conflict, monogamy, and religiosity or moral values, many of which have been corroborated by U.S. or British research.

The current study replicates an experiment by Weinstein, Przybylski, and Ryan (2009) with the goal of demonstrating that their main finding could have resulted from differences in people's prosocial propensity. In their research, they found their hypothesized interaction effect: depending on the extent of immersion, participants presented with images of nature were found to be more prosocial in both their actions and in their declarations. Our sample of 175 adults (M age = 29.7 yr., SD = 11.7; 97 men, 78 women) was approached personally, randomly assigned to viewing either urban or nature images, and instructed to immerse themselves in the respective images.

Over 17 years, no relationship was found between 210 days with full moons and 12,200 incidents of aggression that were dangerous enough to require intense physical restraint. Furthermore, and contrary to such an effect, percentage of restraint-free days was not lower during the full moon. There was less aggression and restraint during weekends and some holidays with full moons. Results suggested that a stronger social versus geophysical process might be related to past positive findings of a lunar effect and that weekend and holiday periods need to be considered as potential confounding variables. Because of the negative stereotypes associated with the full moon and unusual behavior, it is imperative that studies that find this relationship be replicated.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"279 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2466/15.CP.4.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72436190","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}
