Abstract: Relationship between online and offline behavior is close. This study investigated the relationship among college students’ interpersonal relationship, level of empathy, social support, and altruistic behavior in the online environment. Results: interpersonal relationship was positively correlated with empathy and online altruistic behavior, and there was a significant positive correlation between social support and online altruism. Complete mediating effect of empathy and online social support was significant. Conclusion: individual’s level of empathy was the mediator of offline interpersonal relationship and online altruistic behavior; online social support was the mediator of empathy and Internet altruistic behavior.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between multiple implicit sequence learning and attention. A one-factor between-subjects experimental design was used, with attentional load (low vs. high) as between-subjects variable. Eye-movement technology was adopted, and saccadic reaction time was as dependent measure. Forty healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to high attentional load condition and low attentional load condition. The results showed that: (1) Saccadic reaction time in high attentional load condition was longer than low attentional load condition’s; (2) Both the primary sequence and the secondary sequence could be learned no matter whether in low attentional load condition or in high attentional load condition; (3) the sequence learning scores did not differ from primary sequence and secondary sequence. These findings suggest that there are no attentional limitations on the learning of multiple sequence learning.

Abstract: Tax administrations have been working on how to deal with non-compliance behaviour at minimal cost, while maximizing collections without affecting efficiency operations of entities in an economy. Studies have been done to understand complexity of this behaviour from economic, social norms, ethical and psychological perspectives. Using theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study embarks on the same journey by investigating the behaviour of consumer as third-party tax enforcer through asking for sales receipts after transaction. From data collected at Dodoma Municipality by questioning 118 respondents, the study unveils that, attitude and subjective norms have a positive effect on intention to ask for sales receipt, while; there was no effect of perceive behaviour control on customer’s intention to ask for sales receipt. Most of the customers acknowlege goodness, desirability or importance of asking for sales receipt, which is argued to have implication on effeciency of tax collection exercise. Morover relatives and friends have significant effect of individual behaviour of asking for receipt, thus existance of habit of asking for sales receipt among community members reduces moral and ethical cost of acting as a third-party tax enforcer. Efforts should be directed more toward winning consumers’ support rather than using more force on traders, and adoption and use of EFDs should go parallel with other strategies aiming at improving tax collection.

Healing Traumatic Memories in Complex PTSD

Abstract: In clinical practice healing traumatic memories is fundamental for the entire treatment of complex PTSD. Clinicians are united in opinion that PTSD becomes treatment resistant when the patients process traumatic memories partially or fragmented. We emphasized that traumatic memories in complex PTSD are made up of information imprinted during traumatic event and activation of one aspect of them facilitates retrieval of one part, but inhibits the retrieval of others. While working on traumatic memories, the clinician is faced with the patient’s images often being reported as if the event is occurring again with olfactory and auditory intrusions, intense emotions, sensations, and maladaptive physical actions and behaviours. Vehement emotions – the intense arousal evoked in trauma – prevent adaptive information processing and impair efforts to formulate the traumatic event into explicit narrative. Therapy techniques presented in this paper are part of the Dynamic Therapy model [1] – trauma-centred and patient-oriented therapy designed for severe and complex stress-related disorders.
