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.     

对篮球防守中手臂动作运用的探讨

篮球防守的技术动作由脚步移动和手臂动作共同构成,手臂动作在防守中起着十分重要的作用,是提高防守质量不容忽视的环节。为了提高防守的攻击性,必须重视对防守时手臂技术的掌握和运用,同时在比赛中也必须避免盲目、随意用手的习惯。本文分析了几种防守状态下的手臂运用技术,以期为训练和比赛提供一些有意义的参考。     

我国艺术体操集体项目与25届世锦赛前6名在完成得分中的差距和分析--2002年联通杯全国艺术体操锦标赛调研

集体项目是我国艺术体操参加世界比赛的重点项目，对25届世锦赛及2002年中国联通杯艺术体操比赛中集体项目前6名完成得分的有关数据做分析，结果表明：我国各集体队柔韧身体技术动作的完成质量较好，但现阶段我国各集体队的完成得分与世界先进水平仍有一定差距，具体表现为：因全套动作容量偏少，致使成套动作速度偏慢，动作力度不足；因跳步与转体技术不足而造成扣分次数较多；平衡技术不稳定；因带器械的技术和图形不好，造成扣分现象较严重；因运用器械能力不足，造成器械技术硬伤失误扣分较多。这说明我国集体项目运动员在某些身体技术和器械技术的训练上、规格上与世界先进水平存在一定的差距.     

我国艺术体操集体项目艺术值加分分值偏低的现状分析与对策——2002年5A杯全国艺术体操冠军赛调研

采用比赛现场与录相观察、献研究、访问调查等方法，对5A杯全国艺术体操冠军赛集体项目A2加分分值偏低现象做分析，结果表明：独创性的加分是一个空白；身体动作使用的加分因难度不成立而不能给予加分的现象普遍存在；器械的使用加分因器械运用单调和与难度配合时不合规则要求而不能加分的数量过半；熟练性加分因抛器械高度不够，或接器械时未能达到规则要求而不能加分的数量达2／3，目前只有运动员之间合作的加分是我国集体项目A2加分中的主力。     

情绪的动力平衡与体育课学习效果关系

采用情绪量表 ,考察在运动技能学习过程中情绪变化的状况 ,发现在技能学习的不同阶段 ,情绪有其变化的特征 ,随着学习的不断深入 ,情绪总趋势朝良性方向发展 ,这在一定程度上支持了情绪的动力平衡理论。     

我国优秀蹦床运动员网上非技术性位移的初步研究

采用文献资料、现场观察、专家访谈、数理统计等研究方法 ,对我国高水平蹦床运动员网上水平位移现象进行初步研究。认为位移过大是影响成套动作稳定性及动作质量的重要因素之一 ;位移过大与起跳技术和连接技术不合理有关 ,也与运动员原有项目技能的负迁移影响有关 ;网上位移表现为一定的方向性 ,向前空翻类动作的水平位移略小于向后空翻类动作的位移。     

透明质酸与运动能力

分析了透明质酸的多种生物学功能,尤其在保水、清除自由基、运动损伤治疗和增加运动免疫方面的功能,探讨其提高运动能力的生物学机制,并对其作为运动营养补剂的发展前景给予展望。     

圈操器械技术运用规律的研究

以文献资料、图像解析、统计分析法为主要研究手段,在对近3届奥运周期艺术体操国际评分规则比较研究的基础上,针对圈操器械技术的运用趋势与规律作了较深入的探寻.结果表明,器械技术在成套动作中的数量与类型大幅增加;在与不同类型的身体难度动作结合中呈现出不同的规律.     

论艺术体操运动员的选材

查阅了国内外研究艺术体操方面的大量文献，对艺术体操选材的具体条件(标准)——年龄范围、外貌及身体形态体征、身体素质水平、心理品质等方面作了较详细的论述，检测手段或方法简单易行，为那些学校条件差且热爱艺术体操训练的同行们提供了一些选材方法。
