Our objective is to provoke anger among social media users through the use of images. We have observed that when an image portrays an individual's perception of themselves in relation to a particular category or the group they are associated with, the emotional reactions are particularly intense. We propose that by collecting data on outgroups and discreetly incorporating visual stimuli into their social media feeds, which prompt reflexive responses reminding them of how others perceive them within the depicted context, we can gain insights into how inappropriate or stereotypical images can incite rage and even violence in individuals associated with the depicted group. This strategy of image-content interaction shows promise as a novel tool for researchers aiming to evoke specific emotions from social media users, thereby aiding in the understanding of biases against vulnerable groups when offensive or negative illustrations or photographs are employed to represent them.: The repercussions of these negative media portraya...:

The National Crime Victimization Survey and the FBI Hate Crime Statistics Program (see below) use the definition established by the Hate Crime Statistics Act (28 U.S.C. § 534). The Act defines hate crimes as “crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, gender or gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.”

Individuals with thought broadcasting might think that their thoughts are being transmitted in the television or radio. Thought broadcasting is considered a severe delusion and it induces multiple complications, from lack of insight to social isolation. The delusion normally occurs along with other symptoms.

Scientism conceives of objectivity as the opposite of subjectivity, setting up true reality as something unmediated. One consequence of this is the desire to view the world from what researchers
calls a "sideways on" perspective: to see reality from a position outside it. Another consequence is the opposing but equally confused idea of reality as something forever out of the reach of human beings: the notion that our emplacement in the world - the fact that we always engage it from a particular subjective perspective - necessarily condemns us to bias and partiality.

While it is a mistake to argue that documentarians can access objective reality in this impersonal, natural scientific sense, it is just as mistaken to try and get real mileage out of the fact that they cannot. For what would it be to film the world from no perspective?

Men Is Cheap: Exposing the Frauds of Free Labor in Civil War America
Orb weavers employ their webs as a means of extended cognition, delegating complex mental processes such as problem-solving and memory to their intricate constructions. In a recent endeavor, the researcher and his associates conducted an experiment aimed at observing the spider's response to manipulated webs. By restricting the spider's perception of its surroundings, the scientists were able to directly examine the concept of a "thinking web." The findings revealed that the spiders altered their behavior in response to the manipulated webs.
We propose that a distinct category of online behavior can be identified, specifically pertaining to individuals experiencing pain-related distress. This particular group engages in escapist narratives as a coping mechanism, as opposed to those who utilize storytelling and gaming purely for recreational purposes. By distinguishing between these two types of online behavior, we can gain a deeper understanding of the motivations and psychological needs of individuals seeking solace from their pain through immersive narratives.
Save It for Me (2006 Remaster)
Children often draw violent images without being prompted, which leads to intense debates. Some people believe that these drawings are harmful to children's well-being, while others argue that they serve an important role in their development. This paper suggests that we should address this issue not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a broader social standpoint. Children's drawings of violence and society's attitudes towards them reflect a fundamental contradiction in a society that promotes peace but is also violent. This contradiction is often overlooked in various forms of cultural expression. Since children learn about the world by reinterpreting dominant cultural symbols, it is not surprising that their own artwork reflects these contradictions. While there are no easy solutions to educating children in a contradictory society, this paper explores possible actions that art educators can take to promote children's development and foster a non-violent society.

We seek to conduct a personality assessment based on choices made in the designed interactive story. As an effect, the authors propose an appropriate IT solution architecture, which enables two things. Gathering the data through interaction with the user and analysing the obtained results. In the visual and story part, the presented approach is using a form of comic books. We assume that the proposed IT solution can significantly improve the process of research about the relation between two different approaches in a personality assessment;
1) explicit text questions in questionnaires, 2) inexplicit - choices in the visual interactive story.

The utilization of mobile technology in the healthcare sector possesses the capability to revolutionize both clinical practice and research. Innovative remote measurement technologies, such as smartphone applications, sensors, wearable technologies, self-reports through microblogging platforms, and selfies for tracking facial changes to measure potential side effects of medications, fall under the category of mHealth. These technologies enable frequent, longitudinal, and personalized health monitoring. Currently, the evaluation and subsequent treatment of numerous chronic mental health conditions are restricted to retrospective recall during routine clinic visits, which may be subject to bias. The collection of comprehensive patient monitoring data offers the potential for high-frequency symptom monitoring, providing a more accurate reflection of an individual's daily experiences.
...once exposed to the 'Targeted Individual' narrative and told to view one's voice hearing as a means to an end to get one placed in a psychiatric facility one's distrust of the mental health community took on an almost radicalising quality.

People with serious mental illness have changes in their condition that are hard to measure and lead to more care. It's unclear if speech can be used to track these changes. This study looks at whether speech samples can be collected from people with mental illness and used to track changes in their condition over time. 47 patients with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder used a voice response system for at least 4 months to provide speech samples. Providers reviewed the responses and rated them. The study found that the system was easy to use and that individually-trained models had the highest correlation with provider ratings. Population-level models also showed correlations with some provider ratings and mental health scores. This study shows that speech can be used to track mental health in a community-based setting.

Hospitalized patients with psychiatric issues are treated, medicated, and subsequently discharged. However, the investigation into the living arrangements of these discharged patients and how it impacts their adherence to medication regimens and recommended follow-up care is often overlooked in research concerning this vulnerable population. The term "complex recovery" is employed to analyze the emergence and consequences of various forms of adversity throughout an individual's life. Previously challenging, the documentation of the daily lives of mentally ill individuals has become relatively effortless due to the affordability of passive sensing techniques, such as cell phones, which are now accessible even to those experiencing financial hardship. Additionally, the homeless and mentally ill population also utilize social media platforms, allowing for the triangulation of their self-reports regarding medication compliance and attendance at substance abuse meetings and mental health clinics. These studies provide much-needed data to address the fragmented nature of our service system.

In order to examine bias against faces, we conducted an experiment where we presented fabricated biographies of amateur artists along with their paintings, both with and without accompanying photographs of the supposed artists. Interestingly, we found that the paintings were perceived as being of higher quality when paired with more attractive photographs, despite the fact that the actual paintings were identical. This phenomenon aligns with the findings of Olson and Marshuetz (2005), who demonstrated that facial beauty is evaluated even when face images are presented for a brief duration of less than 20 milliseconds.

He’s pleased to hear the other remembers his name. “That’s right.” Asa replies, voice a bit quiet but there’s a soft smile on his face as he walks with him. Naveen’s very kind - offering Asa a trip to the tap house as well. The farmer doesn’t get to go out much. He’s normally out in the fields, or in his room. It’s sort of his own safe haven, where he can sit and draw or read or… zone out. He’s trying to be better about talking to people. Especially when he saw Naveen the first day he arrived. Yeah… definitely trying to make more of an effort.
What Is a Fictional Character?
A fictional character is an invented person or entity in a narrative, such as a book or a movie. Writers base fictional characters on historical figures, stories they hear, people they know, or characters from other works. A well-written character will help you connect to your audience and may even spawn a fandom.
Comic-book and cartoon characters like Batman, Captain America, Mickey Mouse, Pinocchio, and Spider-Man are instantly recognizable by their physical appearance. In contrast, memorable book characters rely on the reader’s imagination—although they often spawn TV, film, and video game adaptations.
These popular fictional characters can serve as role models, like the lead female character in The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) or Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) in Game of Thrones. Other characters, like Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, and Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer, are beloved for their eccentricities.

The impact of being exposed to images portraying individuals with mental illness as impoverished, peculiar, and unclean is worth considering.
How do these images influence the self-perception of mentally ill individuals and their inclination to associate with others in the same category?
Numerous studies consistently demonstrate that both entertainment and news media tend to present highly sensationalized and distorted depictions of mental illness, emphasizing its dangerousness, criminality, and unpredictability. Furthermore, they often depict negative reactions towards the mentally ill, such as fear, rejection, mockery, and ridicule.
The repercussions of these negative media portrayals on individuals with mental illness are profound.

People with psychosis tend to make decisions based on limited evidence, which can contribute to the formation and persistence of delusions. This tendency is known as the "jump-to-conclusions" bias.
Numerous studies have shown that individuals with delusions and psychosis often rely on limited evidence when making decisions. It is still debated whether this bias is specific to delusions or a general feature of psychosis. Some studies suggest that it is specifically associated with delusions, while others argue that it is present in various psychotic experiences. Further research is needed to clarify this issue.
Finger-tapping has been widely studied using behavioral and neuroimaging paradigms. Evidence supports the use of finger-tapping as an endophenotype in schizophrenia, but its relationship with motor procedural learning remains unexplored. We present the use of index finger-tapping to study procedural learning in individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (SCZ/SZA) as compared to healthy controls.
