TL;DR: In this article, a positive linear relationship between teacher nonverbal and verbal immediacy and perceived cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning was found in real-world relationships between college professors and students.
Abstract: Recent experimental research (Comstock, Rowell, & Bowers, 1995) has suggested a curvilinear relationship between teacher immediacy behaviors and student learning. To help specify the scope and range of this finding, we examined these variables as they occur in actual relationships between college professors and students. In natural settings, we predicted and found positive, linear relationships between teacher nonverbal and verbal immediacy and perceived cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning. We also found a positive, linear relationship between both kinds of teacher immediacy and state motivation.

01 Jun 2001TL;DR: The homogeneous model of Euclidean space as discussed by the authors was introduced to solve the problem that the origin is a distinguished element, whereas all the points of E n are identical, by removing the origin from the plane and placing it one dimension higher.
Abstract: The standard algebraic model for Euclidean space E n is an n-dimensional real vector space ℝ n or, equivalently, a set of real coordinates. One trouble with this model is that, algebraically, the origin is a distinguished element, whereas all the points of E n are identical. This deficiency in the vector space model was corrected early in the 19th century by removing the origin from the plane and placing it one dimension higher. Formally, that was done by introducing homogeneous coordinates [110]. The vector space model also lacks adequate representation for Euclidean points or lines at infinity. We solve both problems here with a new model for E n employing the tools of geometric algebra. We call it the homogeneous model of E n .

TL;DR: The human body is problematic because it serves as a perpetual reminder of the inevitability of death as discussed by the authors, and the psychological impetus for distancing from other animals and the need to regulate behaviors that remind us of our physical nature.
Abstract: From the perspective of terror management theory, the human body is problematic because it serves as a perpetual reminder of the inevitability of death. Human beings confront this problem through the development of cultural worldviews that imbue reality-and the body as part of that reality-with abstract symbolic meaning. This fanciful flight from death is in turn the psychological impetus for distancing from other animals and the need to regulate behaviors that remind us of our physical nature. This analysis is applied to questions concerning why people are embarrassed and disgusted by their bodies' functions; why sex is such a common source of problems, difficulties, regulations, and ritualizations; why sex tends to be associated with romantic love; and why cultures value physical attractiveness and objectify women. This article then briefly considers implications of this analysis for understanding psychological problems related to the physical body and cultural variations in the need to separate oneself...
