“…Several have been linked to deception, although the construct may have been operationalized in different ways. According to the meta-analysis, "across the studies when participants were lying they used more negative emotion, more motion words (e.g., arrive, car, go), fewer exclusion words, and less first-person singular" (Tausczik and Pennebaker, 2010). The studies also show that liars use a higher word count, less first-person singular voice, and more "sense" words.…”

Reviews on Yelp.com can be an important factor in driving customers to a business. However, many business owners have expressed concern with Yelp's review filtering system, which was created to flag low-quality or fake reviews. This study performs a content analysis of a subset of Yelp restaurant and religious organization reviews, visible and filtered, exploring signals from the reviews or the reviewers that might explain the filtering process. The study finds that factors intrinsic to the review itself are not related to filtering, but factors related to the reviewer are strong predictors. The Yelp system is much more likely to filter reviews from occasional, isolated reviewers than from prolific, socially connected reviewers.

“…Assume que as palavras usadas pelos indivíduos transmitem informação independente do contexto semântico e que localizar a palavra no discurso permite extrair o seu mundo de valores e significados. A análise decorreu evitando-se palavras repetidas menos de 3 vezes no discurso por participante (Tausczik & Pennebaker, 2010); eliminamos as palavras de função (que compõem frases, incluindo preposições, pronomes, artigos, conjunções); selecionamos palavras mais mencionadas em cada entrevista, e que revelassem conteúdo (transmitem o conteúdo da mensagem, incluindo nomes, verbos regulares, adjetivos e advérbios). Deste modo, emergiram 20 palavras.…”

resumoÉ possível entender que o aumento de pessoas idosas no mundo requer uma perspectiva transcultural da adultez e da velhice. Assim, este estudo exploratório procurou compreender a dinâmica cultural de uma comunidade indígena, destacando o papel da pessoa mais velha. Para tal foram realizadas entrevistas abertas com roteiro semi-estrurado com seis interlocutores do Conselho de Anciãos do povo Guarani-Mbyá, de uma tradicional aldeia de São Paulo que se dispuseram a participar; e outras informações e impressões foram registradas ao longo da pesquisa num diário de campo. A análise do conteúdo sugeriu que "ser Guarani-Mbyá" é um modo de viver e estar, orientado para a preservação da tradição através da educação e religião; o papel dos mais velhos como guardiões e transmissores das tradições. Os resultados contribuem para olhar o envelhecimento sob outras perspectivas culturais.Palavras-chave: indígenas Guarani-Mbyá; identidade; idosos. resumen El aumento de las personas mayores en el mundo requiere de una perspectiva transcultural de la edad adulta y la vejez. Por lo tanto, este estudio exploratorio trató de comprender la dinámica cultural de una comunidad indígena, destacando el papel de la persona de edad. Para ello se realizaron entrevistas abiertas con seis miembros del Consejo de Ancianos del pueblo Guaraní-Mbyá, un pueblo tradicional de São Paulo, Brasil, que estaban dispuestos a participar; otras informaciones, observaciones e impresiones fueron grabadas durante la investigación en un diario de campo. Los resultados sugieren que "ser guaraní mbyá" es una forma de vivir y de ser, orientada a la preservación de la tradición a través de la educación y la religión; el papel de los ancianos como guardianes y transmisores de tradiciones. Estos resultados pueden contribuir a la comprensión del envejecimiento en otras perspectivas culturales.Palabras clave: Guaraní Mbyá-indígena; identidad; viejos. AbstrActIncreasing of older persons in the world requires a transcultural perspective of adulthood and the aging process. This exploratory study aimed to understand the cultural dynamics of the Guarani Mbya indigenous community in Krukutu village and highlight the role of older persons. The sample comprises six recollections of Elders Council members (Conselho de anciãos). Data collection was carried out through an open interview and a field diary. Data were submitted to content analysis. The main findings suggest that being Guarani is to preserve tradition through education and religion; older persons are the main guardians and carriers of those traditions. Results contribute to a cultural perspective on old age and aging.

“…Support for this idea is provided by studies showing that health improvements can be predicted by automated linguistic analysis, e.g. the number of emotion words people use may be indications about their emotional states, thought processes, motivations, and intentions (Tausczik & Pennebaker, 2009). Examples of other predicting word patterns are (1) an increasing use of cognitive or insight words over the days of writing (Pennebaker, Mayne, & Francis, 1997), (2) shifts in the use of pronouns from day to day (Campbell & Pennebaker, 2003), (3) higher use of positive relative to negative emotion words (Pennebaker et al, 1997).…”

Human Computer Confluence

Certain professions carry a risk of experiencing traumatic events and sometimes developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Researchers have been working on strategies to prevent professionals in those fields from developing PTSD. Recently, there has been a focus on applying technology that supports these preventive strategies, especially in a military context. This chapter provides an overview of the state of the art in technology-supported resilience training for military professionals, which has considerable common ground with the interdisciplinary field of human computer confluence (HCC). The effectiveness of these technologies and the resilience strategies they support are reviewed through the literature.
