Article Abstract:
A study of various stimulus behaviours using 3 types of non-unambiguous stimuli revealed that stimulus behaviours varied in accessibility and inapplicability to the construct 'conceited.' The vague stimulus results in conceited-related spontaneous response with maximum accessibility, confirming the rule that strong accessibility can compensate for weak applicability. The results from ambiguous and contrary stimuli with varying intensity of accessibility lead to two other activation rules concerning the relations between higher accessibility and stronger judgment.

Article Abstract:
Fear of isolation (FOI) is manipulated in a group of Westerners and their relative preference for dialectical proverbs and sensitivity to context is assessed in order to test the theory that members of East Asian cultures show a greater preference for these parameters than Westerners, due to their greater chronic FOI. It is seen that both experimentally primed FOI and chronic levels of FOI is positively related to relative dialectical proverb preference, but independent of participants' levels of negative mood.

Article Abstract:
A new response time measure of evaluations, the Evaluative Movement Assessment (EMA) revealed a low correlation with self-reported attitudes when the correlation reflected between-subjects differences in presences for one attitude object to a second. It is suggested that the presence of low correlations between self-reported and response time measures may be a reflection of methodological aspects of the response time measurement techniques.
