TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-cultural analysis of disgust and its elicitors using Israeli, Japanese, Greek and Hopi notions of disgust were undertaken. And it was noted that disgust elicitors have expanded from food to the social order and have been found in many cultures.
Abstract: "Core disgust" is a food related emotion that is rooted in evolution but is also a cultural product. Seven categories of disgust elicitors have been observed in an American sample. These include food, animals, body products, sexual de viance, body-envelope violations, poor hygiene, and contact with death. In addition, social concerns such as interpersonal contamination and socio- moral violations are also associated with disgust. Cross-cultural analyses of disgust and its elicitors using Israeli, Japanese, Greek and Hopi notions of disgust were undertaken. It was noted that disgust elicitors have expanded from food to the social order and have been found in many cultures. Expla nations for this expansion are provided in terms of embodied schemata, which refer to imaginative structures or patterns of experience that are based on bodily knowledge or sensation. A mechanism is suggested whereby disgust elicitors are viewed as a prototypically defined category involving many of the embodied schemata of disgust...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between acculturation experience and accultura tive stress among a group of 76 Asian Indian immigrants living in mid-western United States using Berry et al.'s(1987) model.
Abstract: The paper investigates the relationship between acculturation experience and accultura tive stress among a group of 76 Asian Indian immigrants living in mid-western United States using Berry et al. 's(1987) model. The most preferred acculturation attitude was found to be one of Integration. Acculturative stress had significant positive relationships with attitudes of Separation and Marginalisation but negative relation ship with Integration.

TL;DR: In this article, the need for methodological innovation along the lines of the co-constructionist paradigm is emphasised in psychology, and the model of methodology outlined is a cyclical research process in which goal-oriented thinking and intervention procedures are used by the investigator in interaction with investigated phenomena.
Abstract: In psychology the need for methodological innovation along the lines of the co-constructionist paradigm is emphasised. The model of methodology outlined is a cyclical research process in which goal-oriented thinking and interven tional procedures are used by the investigator in interaction with investigated phenomena. Traditional psychology's concern with variables has led to a sepa ration of the different facets of the target phenomena and has not proved useful in studying developmental processes. Co-constructionist methods involve the re-interpretation of existing methods, for example, interview and it is sug gested that these methods are akin to the hermeneutic process of knowledge construction whereby the emergence of relevant and novel psychological phe nomena is possible. The microgenetic research strategies that are used help to retain the individual sequence of the phenomena in the constructed data. The co-constructionist methodological approach is used to study cooperative and competitive behavio...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the moderating influence of emotional intelligence on the link between academic self-efficacy and achievement among university students and found that emotional intelligence and academic selfefficacy significantly correlated with academic achievement.
Abstract: The study examined the moderating influence of emotional intelligence on the link between academic self-efficacy and achievement among university students. The participants in the study were 300 undergraduate students at the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Their age ranged between 16.5 years and 30 years with mean age of 19.4 years. Two valid and reliable instruments were used to assess emotional intelligence and academic self-efficacy while participants’ first semester result was used as a measure of academic achievement. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyse the data. The result demonstrated that emotional intelligence and academic self-efficacy significantly correlated with academic achievement. The moderating effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship between academic self-efficacy and achievement was also established. On the basis of the findings, it is suggested that emotional intelligence should be integ...
