Although putting on a mask over our nose and mouth is a simple but powerful way to protect ourselves and others during a pandemic, face masks may interfere with how we perceive and recognize one another, and hence, may have far-reaching impacts on commun
If you go through this exercise with several different managers in mind, you will get a sense of how managers who complete the instrument will feel about its face validity. Face validity isn't validity in the technical sense but rather whether the instrument looks appropriate for your managers....
The neural representation of composite faces has been addressed using fMRI adaptation paradigms. These studies take advantage of the fact that repeated presentation of the same stimulus elicits a weaker change in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, than presentation of two different stimuli...
The validity of the face-selective ERP N170 component during simultaneous recording with functional MRI Despite the wide interest in the neural mechanisms of face processing and numerous event-related potential (ERP) and functional MRI (fMRI) studies of face-... Boaz,Sadeh,and,... - 《Neuroimag...
Face perception is considered a remarkable visual ability in humans that is subject to a prolonged developmental trajectory. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, mask-wearing has become mandatory for adults and children alike. Recent research shows that
Current Psychology Arianna Bagnis, Cristina Ottaviani& Katia Mattarozzi 1442Accesses 2Citations Explore all metrics Abstract Phylogenetic theories suggest resting vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) as a biomarker for adaptive behavior in social encounters. Until now, no study has examined whe...
In the present study we designed a Virtual Reality experiment that allowed to directly measure the minimal interpersonal distance that participants kept to virtual agents in social situations with a high degree of ecological validity and experimental control. Participants were placed in a virtual supermar...
It also revealed that all the factor loading values were significant and above the threshold value of 0.5, providing support for the convergent validity of the measurement model (Stevens, 1992). Therefore, the researchers proceeded to test the structural models. The hypothesized models fit the data...
The observational studies noted above have often been criticized for being subjective in how gaze is coded, whereas eye-tracking has been hailed as the objective counterpart. Early studies have estimated the validity of analyzing gaze in interaction from observation to be around 70–80% for the be...
This approach also means there is a lack of evidence to support validity and reliability for the measures used; however, the data show face validity in that ratings were negatively impacted by the simulated attenuating effect of face coverings and by the presence of a mask covering the lips ...
