Abstract:

When making decisions, individuals evaluate several possible outcomes of their choice; however, some display heightened reward sensitivity, despite the potential for future negative consequences, which can lead one to make risky choices. Rewards are processed in the mesolimbic dopamine reward system, and this system is in part modulated by genetic polymorphisms that are associated with dopamine transmission. The current study tested if genetic polymorphisms that are associated with enhanced dopamine neurotransmission will be more neurally reward sensitive, score higher on self-reported impul

Cognitive impairments and changes in the structure and function of related brain regions, namely the prefrontal cortex and striatum, have long been implicated in drug addiction. However, it is unknown whether these abnormalities predate substance abuse, potentially serving as risk factors for dependence, or if they are the consequence of protracted use. To address this question, endophenotype research using stimulant-dependent individuals’ biological siblings has been used to investigate traits implicated in the pathology of addiction.

For start-up businesses, the source of outside capital can be retrieved from the venture capital industry. The venture capital industry has grown substantially over the past 50 years, reaching its pinnacle during the internet bubble in the 1990s and serves as an important contributor to the economy. After some time, and optimally when the start-up has matured into a successful business, venture capitalists want to receive money in return for their investments. Most commonly, the exiting of venture capital investments is retrieved through an IPO. An IPO refers to the transition from a private c

Objective: Childhood abuse (CA) is commonly associated with increased frequency of high-risk behaviours (HRB) in adolescence. Similarly, research has highlighted links between CA and blunted responses to reward. To date, little attention has been devoted to examine if altered reward processes may also be linked to increased engagement in HRB. To explore this hypothesis, this systematic review collated research that investigated the relationship among CA, reward processes and HRB. Specifically, the review addressed the question: Are HRB associated with altered reward processes in children and a

Assessing costs and benefits associated with different options that vary in terms of reward magnitude and uncertainty is an adaptive behaviour which allows us to select an optimal course of action.

Neural activity in the BLA and NAc show distinct, phasic changes in firing prior to action initiation and following action outcomes. Yet, how temporally precise patterns of activity

The research found that Americans and Latin Americans had higher risk-taking behavior than Asians (p<0.01). No difference in risk-taking behavior was found between Americans and Latin Americans (p<0.05). Although culture may influence individuals

Different aspects of cost/benefit decision making involving uncertain rewards are facilitated by distributed corticolimbic circuits linking different regions of the prefrontal cortex, ventral striatum and the basolateral amygdala (BLA).

Detecting animals during wildlife surveys underpins the validity of outcomes for pest control, conservation and research. Most surveys rely on animals deciding to engage with a device, hoping the reward outweighs any perceived danger. Animal personality, however, can shape risk-reward decisions by individuals, potentially driving heterogeneity in detection probability and undermining sampling reliability. In this thesis, I investigated personality as a mechanistic driver of detection bias and examined interactions between personality and the risk-reward properties of different survey methods.

Optimal decision-making entails outcome evaluation, comparing received costs and benefits with predicted costs and benefits. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain area with major connections to the appetitive and aversive motivation systems, may provide the neural substrate of this evaluation process. One way to measure the relative contribution of these systems on decision-making is to measure individual differences in risk-taking behaviors. For individuals who make risky choices, this evaluation step may be biased: some show a preference for immediate, short-term r

Abstract:

Syfte: Målet är att undersöka hur olika organisationer resonerar i termer kring möjligheter och risker i samband med samarbeten med influencers på Instagram. Syftet med detta är att belysa vilka eventuella för- och nackdelar organisationerna ser vid samarbeten med influencers i förhållande till organisationernas egna värderingar och varumärke samt hur potentiella risker vid ett samarbete vägs in. Frågeställningar:  Hur resonerar organisationerna ifråga kring användningen av influencers i sin marknadsföring på Instagram?  Hur resonerar organisationerna ifråga kring varumärkesstrategier i sina

Abstract:

When global complications occur firms must possess the capability to work around the new obstacles and aim to proceed with their operations as normal as possible. With the Covid-19 situation escalating day by day, the worries regarding if the companies of the world grow consequentially. This research has then been conducted with multiple cases in order to understand if the supply chains for production firms as well as service supply chains for service firms has been compromised in any way. If this is the case, the authors also aimed to find out whether there were any specific measures within t

Full text

Abstract:

Classical music organisations across the UK are under increasing pressure to grow and diversify their audiences. ‘Populist’ concerts are designed to attract new audience members by being more accessible and informal than core classical concerts, with programmes structured around well-known short pieces within a broadly-defined classical repertoire. Populist programming has been criticised in mainstream press for ‘dumbing down’ classical music in favour of attracting larger audiences. This thesis investigates how the distinction between populist and core programming is perceived and negotiated

Abstract:

Worldwide, young drivers are involved in more road traffic collisions than any other age group (Taubman & Katz, 2012). Comprehensive driver training and various forms of pre- and- post-test road safety interventions (RSIs) are in place, but young drivers continue to be involved in more at-fault, fatal collisions than older, newly qualified drivers (e.g. Emmerson, 2008; Braitman et al, 2008; Clarke et al, 2010). The evidence base to date is mixed regarding why young drivers are at a heightened risk of collision and so this thesis aims to provide further understanding about the factors underpinn

Full text

Abstract:

This research examines the effects of two conflicting goals (e.g. a group and an individual goal) and two types of rewards (e.g. an incremental and a target reward) on group contribution when group members vary in their ability to accomplish the group task. The experimental task was set up as a social dilemma in which participants were asked to work on both a group and an individual production task. Contribution to group work could lead to higher rewards for all, but it could also result in lower rewards if others failed to contribute. Setting conflicting group and individual goals, as opposed

Abstract:

Young novice drivers - that is, drivers aged 16-25 years who are relatively inexperienced in driving on the road and have a novice (Learner, Provisional) driver's licence - have been overrepresented in car crash, injury and fatality statistics around the world for decades. There are numerous persistent characteristics evident in young novice driver crashes, fatalities and offences, including variables relating to the young driver themselves, broader social influences which include their passengers, the car they drive, and when and how they drive, and their risky driving behaviour in particular

Abstract:

This dissertation mainly studies correlation and then portfolio analysis of financial contagion and capital flight, focusing on currency co-movements around the political uncertainty due to the Brexit referendum on 26 June 2016. The correlation, mean, and covariance computations in the analysis are both time-unconditional and time-conditional, and the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) methods are applied. The correlation analysis in this dissertation (Chapter 1) extends the previous literature on contagion testin
