Humility-Based Persuasion: Individual Differences in Elicited Emotions and Politician Evaluation
The notion of humility has been neglected in the field of political communication in favor
of the persuasive strength of a dominant leader. Humility is defined here as an
interpersonal and epistemic stance aimed, on one side, at involving the interlocutor in an
empathic and horizontal relation, and on the other, at admitting possible shortcomings in
oneâs own knowledge or competence, as inherent in human nature. The present study
investigates the effect of humble communication on emotional and evaluative reactions of
potential voters by taking into consideration their individual differences in terms of
perceived competence (self-esteem), benevolence (moral relevance), and dominance
(social dominance orientation). Results reveal that a social dominance is a good predictor
of negative emotions and evaluations elicited by a humble politician, whereas self-esteem
and moral sensitivity are best predictors of positive emotions and positive evaluations of
a humble politician. The results shed light on possible âhumble-based interventionsâ to
promote votersâ political empowerment

Metaphor and Senses
The book deals with the synesthetic metaphors in Synamet â a semantically and grammatically annotated corpus. The texts included in the corpus are excerpted from blogs devoted to, among others, perfume, wine, beer, music, art, massage and wellness. The thesis presents a Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and frame-based analysis of synesthetic metaphors in Polish. Using data from the corpus, the book provides ample empirical support for embodiment in metaphor and internal logic of mappings between frames. The study proposes new models of verbal synesthesia in the corpus and calls into question a universality of hierarchy of senses. This book should be of interest to researchers working within cognitive linguistics, in particular metaphor theory, frame semantics, corpus linguistics, and sensory science
Poiesis in/between the Transferential Matrix: Insight, Imagination and the Relational Interpretation
The most important question for the Psychoanalytic Process Research is presumably what Mitchell calls the problem of âbootstrappingâ the transferential matrix: how do the members of the dyad manage to disengage from being âheardâ according to old or unsuitable affective categories? On the grounds of a bi-phasic Conceptual and in-depth Analysis of the Psychoanalytic Complexity literature, I construct a minimal model of the psychoanalytic process as a theoretical context for conducting Process Research. According to the âstoryâ that I have read in the literature four main themes describe the process: a) the gradual emergence of a âphenomenologicalâ language that facilitates the flow of experience, b) the coupling, synchronicity and coordination of analyst and analysand, in âphaseâ and âanti-phaseâ at several levels, c) the shifting of the mental states and the thin and delicate slicing and sampling of experience that actualizes the emergence of mental objects and finally, d) Scaling that involves all those âmentalâ processes that correct for the excesses or the deficiencies that are made evident during the shifting of mental states. Experience is generated as we âcouple and shiftâ, and generative tensions appear as we âscaleâ through this coupling and shifting process. Enactments, role-responsive transferences and countertransferences, testing of the transference and alliance or communication ruptures appear as coupled oscillating patterns that have both a repetitive and a developmental dynamic.
Regarding the question of how we should study âCoupling, Shifting and Scalingâ I propose the adoption of an Enactivist epistemological framework which perceives the mind not as the workings of a representational machine but as a living process and the expression of an embodied living organism which in a âprecariousâ state of âneedful freedomâ (Jonas, in Thompson, 2007) strives to make sense of its environment. On the grounds of this framework I defend the view that we should study Scaling as an expression of the âradical dialogicalityâ of the human mind that underlies the âstructuring of experienceâ. I examine this âradical dialogicalityâ at the level of inter-hemispheric differences, psychopathology and the enactive structuring of experience and the horizon of affective affordances in the clinical process.
Finally, on the grounds of this conceptual analysis and its application to a case-study, I try to defend the view that, adopting relevant âdialogicalâ and micro-analytic methodological tools, we can achieve an appropriate level of âresolutionâ so as to study âbootstrappingâ at the moment-to-moment shifts in the experiential states or the shifts in attitudes that appear at bifurcation points in the systemâs evolution. Through Scaling, the clinical dyad strives for a âmaximum gripâ of those experiential dimensions that carry the potential to expand the shared reality as a generative field and engage those surfaces of experience that bridge lost connections and separations, by fractalizing the dimensionality of the generative space. A detailed examination of the Scaling processes may bring us closer to a better understanding of the problem of âbootstrappingâ

Contemporary Topics in Graduate Medical Education
Graduate medical education (GME) is a continually evolving, highly dynamic area within the complex fabric of the modern health-care environment. Given the rapidly changing regulatory, financial, scientific and technical aspects of GME, many institutions and programs face daily challenges of "keeping up" with the most recent developments within this ever-more-sophisticated operational environment. Organizational excellence is a requirement for the seamless functioning of GME programs, especially when one consider the multiple disciplines and stakeholders involved. The goal of the current book cycle, titled Contemporary Topics in Graduate Medical Education, beginning with this inaugural tome, is to provide GME professionals with a practical and readily applicable set of reference materials. More than 20 distinguished authors from some of the top teaching institutions in the US, touch upon some of the most relevant, contemporary, and at times controversial topics, including provider burnout, gender equality issues, trainee wellness, scholarly activities and requirements, and many other theoretical and practical considerations. We hope that the reader will find this book to be a valuable and high quality resource of a broad range of GME-related topics. It is the Editors' goal to create a multi-tome platform that will become the definitive go-to reference for professionals navigating the complex landscape of modern graduate medical education
Towards a Phenomenological Theory of the Visceral in the Interactive Arts
This is a digitised version of a thesis that was deposited in the University Library. If you are the author and you have a query about this item please contact PEARL Admin ([email protected])Metadata merged with duplicate record (http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/2319) on 20.12.2016 by CS (TIS).This thesis explores the ways in which certain forms of interactive art may and do elicit
visceral responses. The term "visceral" refers to the cardiovascular, respiratory, uro-genital
and especially excretory systems that affect mind and body on a continuum of awareness.
The "visceral" is mentioned in the field of interactive arts, but it remains systematically
unexplored and undefined. Further, interactive artworks predominantly focus on the
exteroceptive (stimuli from outside) rather than the interoceptive (stimuli arising within the
body, especially the viscera) senses.
The existentialist phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty forms the basis for explorations
of the visceral dimension of mind/body. New approaches to understanding interactive art,
design and the mind/body include: attunements to the world; intertwinings of mind/body,
technology and world; and of being in the world. Each artwork within utilizes a variation of the
phenomenological methods derived from Merl eau-Ponty's; these are discussed primarily in
Chapters One and Three. Because subjective, first-person, experiences are a major aspect of a
phenomenological approach, the academic writing is interspersed with subjective experiences of
the author and others. This thesis balances facets of knowledge from diverse disciplines that
account for visceral phenomena and subjective experience.
Along with the textual exegesis, one major work of design and two major works of art were
created. These are documented on the compact disc (CDROM) bound within. As an essential
component of each artwork, new technological systems were created or co-created by the
author. User surveys comprise Appendices Two, Three and Four, and are also online at:

. Numerous talks, exhibitions and publications that directly relate to the thesis
work is in Appendix One.
This work begins with an introduction to Merleau-Ponty's ideas of flesh and reversibility.
Chapter Two is the review of the literature, while Chapter Three is an explication of the
hypothesis, an overview of the field, and a framing of the problem. Discussions of each artwork
are in Chapter Four (The Meditation Chamber), Chapter Five (BioMorphic Typography) and
Chapter Six (The MeatBook). Chapter Seven forms the conclusion. References to the
documentation on the CD are found throughout the thesis, and italicized paragraphs provide
an artistic context for each chapter
