Attribution of responsibility for the causes of suffering is one of the main factors that influence responses to individuals in distress. While the role of attributional processes on prosocial motivation has been widely investigated in social psychology, only few attempts have been made to characterize their behavioura... |
To validate the stimuli, we investigated the effect of different context-video pairs on self-report measures of participants’ subjective experience. We found that different contexts preceding the same video can influence blame and responsibility judgments, affective responses and willingness to help. |
In a complementary analysis, we replicated previous findings on the influence of empathy and responsibility on willingness to help, showing how the latter is mediated by moral judgments. |
Finally, we observed a general increase in responses times when videos were paired with responsible contexts. We provide interpretations of this finding that can relate attribution accounts to prominent theories in moral psychology. |
Overall, this study highlights the possibility of expanding existing theories on prosocial motivation by implementing a set of stimuli that includes multiple scenarios and allows for the collection of third person measures in within-subject designs.Abnormalities of von Willebrand factor are also part of the prothrombo... |
Glucocorticoids are known to increase plasma concentrations of factor VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (vWF), and their administration is associated with an increased incidence of thrombotic complications.

In order to study the effects of penetrability in mixtures of dissimilar particles we consider hard (colloidal) spheres and penetrable spheres. The latter may be taken to represent ideal, noninteracting polymer coils. Polymers and colloids interact by means of a repulsive step-function pair potential, which allows for ... |
In cardiovascular disease risk profiling, age trumps all other factors. Yet age, like beauty, has proven to be difficult to define. Every cardiovascular clinician knows that not all 60-year-olds are of the same cardiovascular age; however, we have lacked the tools to define age with more precision from a medical standp... |

PURPOSE |
To compare lesion enhancement after injection of gadopentetate dimeglumine on spin-echo and gradient-echo T1-weighted images. |
METHODS |
A total of 48 contrast-enhancing intracranial lesions were evaluated using a spin-echo and two gradient-echo T1-weighted pulse sequences. Percent contrast, contrast-to-noise, and signal-to-noise measurements were made on the spin-echo T1-weighted, three-dimensional gradient-echo, and multiplanar gradient-echo sequences... |
RESULTS |
The measurements were somewhat different for the following categories of lesions: extraaxial, intraaxial with edema, and intraaxial without edema. The latter group provided the greatest diagnostic challenge: three of 19 such lesions 1 cm in size or smaller could not be identified on three-dimensional gradient-echo imag... |
CONCLUSION |
The T1-weighted spin-echo sequence was preferred for detecting the full spectrum of contrast-enhancing lesions of the central nervous system.Online Appendix to 'The Effects of Required Minimum Distribution Rules on Withdrawals from Traditional Individual Retirement Accounts' |
