Abstract

Previous discussions of verbal persuasion techniques utilized in cognitive restructuring have been relatively general and imprecise. This lack of specification has made comparisons between treatment procedures and research regarding the efficacy of verbal persuasion procedures difficult. Drawing from diverse discussions of persuasive techniques, those verbal persuasion procedures considered applicable within the context of a therapeutic relationship are individually specified and discussed. The attempt to systematize verbal techniques is intended to provide a tentative nomenclature by which the verbal aspect of various cognitive therapies may be put within a firmly established framework.

The inversion In(2L)t impacts complex, environmentally sensitive behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetic variation in behavioral traits allows organisms to respond and adapt to environmental challenges. Genetic variation in behavior is often affected by many genes and thus has a complex genetic basis. Inversions, the reorientation of genes along the chromosome, tightly link genetic variants together because they suppress recombination. Therefore, inversions are believed to have a major impact on phenotypic variation because they combine the effects of multiple genes, which can pleiotropically alter multiple aspects of behavior. This study investigates how the inversion In(2L)t, found in Drosophila melanogaster populations around the world, impacts different aspects of behavior in an environment-sensitive manner. We test the activity, foraging, and startle-induced behavior of flies with different In(2L)t genotypes across sex and temperatures. We observe that Drosophila homozygous for In(2L)t sleep less frequently, spend more time away from a food source, and have a longer duration of startle response. Additionally, the impacts of In(2L)t on aspects of behavior can be sex-specific and are largely consistent across temperatures. Taken together, our research demonstrates that inversions can regulate aspects of behavior, and suggests hypotheses explaining the distribution of In(2L)t across space and time.

[Heinrich von Kleist and the true nature of man].

In short-stories, novels and plays, the artist's interpretation of human nature may render the reader valuable insights into the basics of human behaviour. This article is a discussion of a short-story about a fictitious earthquake in Chile, written in 1807 by Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811). The writer shows how feelings of warmth, friendliness and solidarity come out when a catastrophe reduces the relative importance of man-made rules and regulations. But more sombre sides of human nature also come to the surface in the wake of the disaster, and the writer indicates that even the apparently virtuous Christian morality contains severe traits of cruelty and repressiveness.
