The catcher in the lie: The role of emotions and epistemic judgments in changing students’ misconceptions and attitudes in a post-truth era

We extend previous theoretical and empirical work by examining the role that emotions and epistemic judgments play when learning from different refutation plus persuasive and expository plus persuasive texts. We examined how variations in messages designed to change misconceptions and attitudes about genetically modified foods (GMFs) might differentially impact the extent to which individuals engage in epistemic judgments; the emotions individuals experience during learning; and, how epistemic judgments and emotions might facilitate or constrain conceptual and attitudinal change. One hundred twenty-five undergraduate university students were randomly assigned to one of four text conditions: refutation plus positive persuasive text, refutation plus negative persuasive text, expository plus positive persuasive text, or expository plus negative persuasive text. Students were asked to think and emote out loud during learning to capture epistemic judgments and emotions as they occurred in real time. After the learning session, students also self-reported the emotions they experienced during learning. Results revealed that students who were given positive persuasive texts experienced more positive emotions (both intensity and frequency) during learning, whereas those who were given negative persuasive texts experienced more negative emotions (frequency) during learning. Students who were given positive persuasive texts engaged in more epistemic judgments and changed more misconceptions about GMFs compared to students in the other three text conditions. Finally, epistemic judgments were significant positive predictors of conceptual and attitudinal change, and both positive emotions and negative emotions predicted attitudinal change. Implications for theories of conceptual and attitudinal change are discussed.     

Food (in)security communication: a Journal of Applied Communication Research forum addressing current challenges and future possibilities

ABSTRACT

This forum brings together food, (in)security, and communication. The authors participating in this forum center communication as both process and tool for understanding, mitigating, and making meaning of food (in)security. The nine authors together discuss the role of communication in food (in)security, the central challenges for scholars and practitioners working on food (in)security, and the creative possibilities and impacts influencing the future of food (in)security. The forum produces a call for applied scholars to re-imagine communication frameworks in order to make meaningful differences in their communities.

中药组方对提高有氧耐力运动员成绩的作用

把运动性疲劳的机体视为微细损伤的集合体,据此认识进行中药组方.通过对20名耐力跑运动员进行3个月分组对照实验后,测定实验前后的血色素(Hb)、个体乳酸阈值的跑速、红细胞(RBC)-SOD活性、RBC-GSH-Px活性、血浆丙二醛(MDA)的含量、RBC-MDA含量、定量负荷后血乳酸恢复速率和5000m跑最好成绩变化等.结果显示:服用中药组的各项指标和运动成绩均明显优于对照组(P＜0.05),表明本中药组方具有保护组织细胞、延迟疲劳出现和加快机能恢复的效果,对提高耐力运动成绩有良好的作用.

热休克反应对急性运动大鼠心肌自由基代谢的影响

目的:探讨热休克反应对急性运动大鼠心肌自由基代谢的影响。方法:SD大鼠随机分为:室温安静组,室温运动组,热休克反应安静组,热休克反应运动组。热休克反应组进行热暴露处理;热暴露处理24h后,运动组大鼠进行一次急性运动,急性运动结束16h后取样。检测各组心肌组织中MDA含量和SOD的活性,检测安静组心肌组织HSP72的含量。结果:1)与室温安静组相比,热休克安静组大鼠心肌组织中的HSP72浓度显著升高(P<0.01);热休克反应安静组大鼠心肌SOD活性升高、MDA含量降低,与室温安静组相比变化不明显(P>0.05)。2)热休克反应运动组心肌MDA含量显著低于室温运动组(P<0.01),SOD活性高于室温运动组,但无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:热休克反应可减轻急性运动所致大鼠心肌组织SOD活性下降的程度,抑止MDA含量的升高。说明热休克反应预处理能够减轻急性运动大鼠心肌的抗氧化能力,减少自由基的生成,减轻自由基所致的损伤,对急性运动所致心肌损伤具有一定的保护作用。     

对安徽电子信息职业技术学院理工新生近几年最大吸氧量和体形变化趋势的探讨

对1997～2003年3105名男女新生的最大吸氧量进行直接测定.结果:男女新生的最大吸氧量呈逐年下降趋势,男女生分别降了(0.3士0.09)L/min和(0.21士0.07)L/min;体形有逐年瘦长的趋势;经统计处理均具有显著性差异.建议学生在中学阶段就应加强体育锻练,增强体质,改善营养,进一步提高高校体育教学质量.
