EFFECTS OF EGO-DEPLETION AND STATE ANXIETY ON PERFORMANCE CHANGES IN DART-THROWING TASKS: A LATENT CURVE MODEL APPROACH REPORTING TRIAL DATA FOR HUMAN PARTICIPANTS

Effects of Ego-Depletion and State Anxiety on Performance Changes in Dart-Throwing Tasks: A Latent Curve Model Approach Reporting Trial Data for Human Participants

This study examined the effects ego depletion (ED) and state anxiety (SA)have on performance changes in dart-throwing, a perceptual-motor task, using a Latent Curve Model (LCM).Twenty-two men, who had never played darts before, were recruited and randomly assigned to two counterbalanced groups: Group A was exposed first to ED and then to non-ED (NE

Description of the skeleton of the fossil beaked whale Messapicetus gregarius: searching potential proxies for deep-diving abilities

Ziphiidae (beaked whales) are a successful family of medium- to large-sized toothed whales.Their extant members perform regular deep dives beyond the photic zone to forage for cephalopods and fish.Conversely, extinct long-snouted stem ziphiids are interpreted as epipelagic predators.However, some aspects of this hypothesis remain unclear due to the

Different Fracture Liquids under the Action of Enclosure of Dense Sandstone Reservoir Micro-Damage Characteristics Study

The sandstone reservoir in the Lule River group of Mahai East District is strong, densely dense, and the expansion of clay material is very easy to block the pores.Therefore, the new pressure cracks click here and cationic cluster stabilizers with double-season ammonium salt clay stabilizers are used.Experimental analysis is performed under the cir
