The affective response to an actual current external danger which subsides with the elimination of the threatening condition.
Questions related to Fear
In my books on the subject of “mathematics of opinions” I have shown that even positive beginnings (must) end in complete decadence, unless there is a premature end. This is most pronounced in the area of politics, which for various reasons must degenerate into a melting pot of ideologically intellectually limited underachievers.
What is fatal, as can be observed live today, is the complete disconnection from reality: the leaders not only have an ideologically limited horizon of facts, they are also surrounded by a dense cordon of followers who absorb the leaders’ secretions with sexually fervent desire (I have also shown the background to this) and do not allow anything to get to them, i.e. they also effectively shield them from attempts at rational argumentation, which of course has an even greater effect on the ideologization.
On the other hand, the brain is bound to a demand-reward loop: people face challenges that, when mastered, cause a hormonal feeling of happiness (again, more details in “Mathematics of Opinions”). The absence of happiness hormones, in turn, causes people to look for new challenges. A problem arises when there are essentially no more challenges, because any action becomes without consequences.
This is also explained live in today's politics: normally, politicians should have to answer for an action, even if the responsibility only consists in asking themselves “Will I be voted out and can no longer act like this?” Today, the political system has reached a point where this no longer applies. All politicians, starting with the last backbencher in parliament, can do whatever they want without any consequences. A health minister can break laws and even the constitution, prove himself corrupt, send hundreds of thousands of citizens to illness and death and finally declare that all of this was not necessary - and stay in office and can carry on completely arbitrarily. No action has any consequences anymore, except perhaps for the last backbencher who is eliminated in the next round of elections.
Of course, this does not only apply to politics. The people behind it who still have some intelligence, the oligarchs or multi-billionaires who at least partially play their games behind the scenes, are also affected. For someone like Bill Gates, no action has any consequences anymore and the reward of happiness hormones is missing.
Ultimately, this leads to a displacement activity according to the motto "one man's joy is another man's sorrow". What can no longer be achieved through positive experiences of one's own can be achieved through negative experiences of others, for which one is ultimately responsible. The appeal of the matter is that you don't have to feel any consequences yourself, but others do (this is again explained in more detail in the books). This starts with the reporting of critics (even the followers in the justice system are subject to such mechanisms, as they too no longer have to fear any consequences if they ignore the law) and continues all the way to compulsory vaccination. I think it is quite possible that some politician or another has experienced a kind of inner reward orgasm in their uncompromising commitment to compulsory vaccination against the fears of those affected.
Where does it end? Wild conspiracy theories report cruel rituals by the rich and powerful in which women or - as the crowning glory - children are sacrificed. Well, if you think the development described through to the end, these are not conspiracy theories, but for some of those affected it may well end there. The ultimate kick from murdering someone else because something else no longer gives them a kick.
Is that also the background to the current desire for war that prevails everywhere? In Ukraine, the machinations of these people, who preach daily that more and more powerful weapons must be sent there, have probably already cost 1 million human lives, and another million could well be saved by what the Israeli government is doing, also with the help of the local hawks. And these things are not even far away: on social and other networks you can watch videos of people dying there at any time. Does that give you a kick? Or are we all already oversaturated with the virtual reality of the media industry, which can depict blood splattering around and guts hanging from houses in much more colorful ways with the help of AI? Is there really a desire to experience that live? Or is there still so much residual reality that you would rather not experience it yourself, but at least see someone you know personally die?
There is a lot to suggest that the ideological view is becoming increasingly narrow. It seems that the invulnerability of the warmongers leads them to make invulnerability itself an axiom of their thinking, in the sense that a war can destroy everything around them, but not them and their way of life. They seem to believe that they will continue to live in a luxury villa with servants who bring them everything they ask for, when everything around them looks like something out of a Mad Max film. And unfortunately, this virus also seems to be infecting those who are just the bulk of the claqueurs.
The reality: in the EU countries, no one has enough weapons to wage a war for even a few days. No one has a war industry that could provide replacements. The population is anything but ready or willing to fight; they are no longer even willing to work. One might consider the replacement of a private as warlord by a lance corporal as progress, but it is certainly not. The warmongering has no basis in reality, but is nevertheless constantly intensifying. Even if there is no war, it will still lead to hardship and misery. And although this cannot be overlooked, there is still a majority of the population that continues to enthusiastically participate.
As a consequence of current experiences, one view must be corrected: up to now, sociological and psychological models have assumed that a proportion of 25% - 33% of realists is enough to overturn the ideology. Current developments, however, show that an absolute majority, i.e. >50%, is actually necessary for a tipping point. Or, to put it more brutally: if you want peace, you must first kill everyone who wants war.
Hi
Recently I have not been able to thank people who have sent me their texts because ResearchGate now says I cannot message people who do not follow me.
Does anyone know how to over come this I fear seeming very ungrateful for the work people are sharing with me!
Having published a number of pre-prints, I observed there is a growing concern about preprint article.
Has your preprint favour or jeopardise the peer review of your work?
Does the advantage outweighs the disadvantages particularly for emerging researchers?
What happens to science, in case of falsely declared data with permanent doi assigned to the pre-print?
Do you nurse any fear publishing your work as preprint?
NB: Your candid opinion would be very helpful.
Does anyone have any idea where I can find Consumptive Behavior focuses on lifestyle Measurement fully with the blue print, indicator, etc for me to finish my dissertation undergraduate, with the title The Impact of Fear of Missing Out and Consumptive Behavior on Generation Z's Lifestyle.
In this rapidly changing world, where cause and consequence are intertwined through complex psychological layers, effective decision-making becomes crucial. The fear of career uncertainties, lack of intellectual confidence, or facing immense barriers affects educational, academic, or professional choices. When certain principles are applied, crucial decisions may result in better outcomes. Since decisions are made under the influence of objective and subjective perspectives, their sufficiency and reliability can greatly vary. There are multiple frameworks used in effective decision-making. One of them is the VIPS framework: Values, Interests, Personality, and Skills. In your opinion, how can this framework be used to foster effective decision-making?

The primary factor that prevents people from entering and exploring the marine environment is fear of the unknown and not being able to process how humans are capable of maneuvering the ocean realm. With human impacted climate change destroying our oceans at an accelerated rate, it is essential to address adult fears to reconnect them to the ocean. Cultural insight and dispelling fears will help to eliminate the disinterested humans and the ocean.
What are the possible consequences of an unethical act? Why? How? My answer: 1) The unethical actor gets what is deserved. 1.5)The unethical actor continues the patterns until getting what is deserved. 2)The unethical actor lives in fear until getting what is deserved. 3)The unethical actor is punished in the afterlife. 4)The unethical actor at some point repents. 6)The unethical actor’s own happiness is damaged by having committed the unethical act. 7)The unethical actor creates a precedent damaging self interests. 8)Something else.

Reluctance to express one's ideas in a postgraduate environment surprises me as a facilitator. Probably, it is the cultural or social back ground. Sometimes, I feel that they grow underconfident due to their pre conceived knowledge gap. They think they need to know everything.

There are a few stance to this.
1. Thats a technical problem mostly, not a physical limitation.
(One can start with the assumptions that is possible, derive some results and then see how the Big picture leads to the resolution of initial problem.
2. Its not technical since if the mathematics fail, physics fails too the 2 cannot be separated.
3. Its a conformist's view. Established science says it is true and people stick to the established viewpoints in fear of tracing a new path.
Which one do you endorse?
James Allen (and others) just assert this, but Brandon in the 1950's was not sure, and it does not seem so clear to me either. The Instruction of Merykare seems rather clear that there is a judgment, but by whom? The Pyramid texts seem to suggest that the king can say "I will not sit at the court" and this suffices to exempt him. Besides a late Nubian image, I can find no images or direct references to any king (but a number of famous ones of commoners) going through any trial, e.g., that of the weighing of the heart. Budge reproduces the late Nubian one presumably because he could not find an early Egyptian one. Any help would be most appreciated. The basic question is what a KING had to fear in connection with death.
Now 40% of the Earth’s population is with the BRICS system. Is there any fear for the global system led by America and the European Union in confronting this system?
Fear, interest rates and uncertainties on rising and markets under pressure, what next??
Did abstract concepts occur to our earliest ancestors before they started communicating them? That seems very likely. Yet, did we start counting before developing complex languages, or did we start talking after we started counting?
In other words, did human semiosis precede counting and primitive arithmetic, or did language evolve because of counting and numbers?
Naturally, this conundrum prompts another question, why or how did human communication and complex thought begin at all? Regardless, the mystery of why only some apes (not all of them) became humans will probably remain mysterious.
Of course, the many environmental challenges and physiological adaptations that favored human family culture, successful child-rearing, and positive emotional bonding must be considered essentials. However, some researchers now consider the possibility that biochemical factors, especially ingestion of psychedelic and neuro-adaptive fungii (etc.), may have been critical keys to the inception of uniquely human neurological development and psychosocial evolution.
That seems very likely. After all, even some non-psychotropic fungii and plant compounds are now known to promote growth of new neuronal networks. Compelling experiments with mice show truly the powerful neurogenesis after treatment with psylocibin. Interestingly, the behavior of the mice changed in favor of eliminating the effects of trauma and habitual fear. In other words, even mice prefer happy enjoyment more than suffering.
So, if brain-enhancing fungii help mice improve their lives, is it reasonable to assume that our earliest hominid ancestors were less motivated to improve their lives?
Now, the most important question may be: why do so many modern humans seem to prefer maintaining causes of suffering and habitual fear? On the other hand, it seems more important to ask: how can we rescue ourselves and our habitat (if possible)?
I look forward to your insights, etc. ~ M
I saw a video online showcasing how efficient these AI bots can be, if we allow them to have total assess to our data. My fear is if these AI bots somehow happens to go rogue or malfunctions or hijacked by terrorists or even evolve into an independent system that is self-driven to rule the world, what will be the fate of humanity?
You can say that I have been brainwashed by too much scientific fictions.... But there is a 1% chance of my fear becoming real. How do we stop that from happening?
Many technology experts hail AI and find it incredibly beneficial for human civilization; however, others fear the deleterious impact of AI. I personally find AI helpful when writing a research article. For example, AI can easily correct grammatical errors in English languages.

Without a legal standard, a societal acceptance of boundaries, and a pursuit of societal benefits to humanity, are we at risk of creating a monster with self learning machines that have no boundaries, no legal consequences and no fear of penalties?

Hi everyone. I am working on my quantitative chapter of my thesis and I would like to ask you about handling close ended questions using 6-point Likert scale questionnaire to measure fear. The highest point is 210 and the lowest point is 0.
The reality of students' fear will be divided into 3 groups: The group with high fear is the group with a score of 3/4 of the maximum points or higher (157- 210 points), the group with medium fear (105 - 210 points), the rest is the group with low fear (< 105 points).
My questions are:
Is my method correct? If not can anyone recommend a study I can refer to or give me tips?
I really appreciate your help in this manner.
Best regards,

Dear colleagues/friends around the world,
People around the world are still deeply concerned about the heightened and real international tensions around the world in post Covid-19 pandemic world.
Evident anxiety and fear are a reality everywhere, as the world is in an active state of transformational changes,
The recent book “Transforming Nations after the Covid-19 Pandemic; A Humanitarian and Planetary Systems Perspective” (Springer) directly speaks to these concerns. This book is readily available in hard copy, soft copy, or as an e-book or Kindle edition (ISBN 978-3-030-61809-4 ) through Amazon or your international bookstores and libraries.
It calls for international leadership of a high- order with a planetary systems perspective of the issues and challenges faced globally. This perspective is driven and informed by deep caring, empathy, hope, and positive values.
I invite today’s youth and emerging leaders to consider reading this important and eye-opening work. It provides with a perspective that goes beyond the news media outlets that are often anchored in fear and driven by current political agenda and interests.
You are also invited to link-up and communicate its author at any time through Linked in or directly at drcaro@sympatico.ca

Hi everyone! I'm trying to amplify a gene 900 bp long. I have the "right" band, but also a band with a higher length, under ~2000 bp. Once I purified the 900 bp band from gel, I ran the purification product and I still get this band. O attached the pictures. Any ideas?
I will perform homologous recombination, that's why I fear the second product could negatively affect the process.
There are many kind of emotions in our world. Beside basic emotions like happy, sad, angry, fear, etc.
Each culture also has their special secondary emotions that other universal cultures don't have.
For examples : the "nick chic", "kwek tic", "kou lauw" sensations.
People with schizophrenia sometimes experiences the feeling that normal people never feel.
Is schizophrenia caused by the new emotions they can't adapt with ?!

When we look at someone's photo (especially his/her face), we can have any feeling. Maybe we can feel happy, sad, angry, like, dislike, love, peaceful, joyful, fear, and other feeling/ mood. We will feel another mood when we look at the other persons photo.
What factors determine this circumtenses? Can this way be used as one of the media to treat mental illness? Depression, schizofrenia, bipolar, etc.
When someone look at his/her favorit angel's photo or saint's photo maybe he/she can become more relax and tidy.
Dear all,
I'm writing my master's thesis about fear of negative evaluation right now. We examined how likes and dislikes have an influence on the current self-esteem of a person and whether social support protects against self-esteem fluctuations in response to social feedback. Further, I'm investigating whether fear of negative evaluation moderates the relationship between social support and self-esteem fluctuations.
I'm using the BFNE-II score (12 items, only straight-worded) from Carleton et al. (2007). I read a lot of papers using this scale until now but still some of my questions remained unanswered.
1.) Is it scored 0-4 or 1-5?
Some papers score it 0-4 and others 1-5
2.) How are the scores interpreted? I calculated the sum and the higher this score, the more FNE a person has but is there any other interpretation?
3.) Are there any cut-off scores?
In the paper by Carleton et al. (2011) they name the BFNE-II (the one I'm using) BFNE-R and they name 38 as a cut-off score.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
Svenja Hofacker
For my master's thesis I have conducted a within-subjects design vignette study. In this study I created three variables: a variable in which the respondents had to measure their fear of crime for plants, a variable in which the respondents had to measure their fear of crime for humans, and a variable in which the respondents had to measure their fear of crime for animals. The respondents had to complete all the three questions and the three questions had the same corresponding vignette. I want to compare the means between these three variables. The people had to describe their fear of crime on a scale ranging from 1 to 10. Please help me which SPSS test I can use.
Dear, I am aware of literature regarding the correlation between higher level of violence against civilians and foreign fighters presence (for example Bakke 2014, Moore 2019, Doctor and Willingham 2020, Doctor 2021, ...). I was wondering if there is anything that compares (also with qualitative methods) IS foreign fighters and IS local fighters in their relations with the locals in Syria and Iraq.

Hello fellow Researchers!
I investigate issues related to Pra (pregnancy related anxiety). I am looking for a tool to measure the level of fear of childbirth or factors directly related to it. Of course, there is PRAQ and its revised versions R/R2. Have you encountered anything similar? Maybe someone is developing a new tool or marker? Please reply or contact me directly. Thank you very much

I am not sure if it’s the same at every institution, but our supervisor only reads our draft once, or each section once.
I overthink, and fear I would do really bad, and when the draft is returned to me, I would need to do so many edits. So to prevent this, if another academic read and confirmed I was on the right lines, I would feel better.
Kind regards

In my case, we use 150 kg ha-1 for OPV and 200 kg ha-1 for hybrid varieties are recommended to be applied with three splits: 1st at planting, 2nd at knee height, and 3rd at flowering (silking and tasseling). But, still, farmers of the lowlands (hotter areas) use less than this rate and generally miss the 3rd split due mainly to fear of the burning effect caused by high temperature and/or low moisture.
What is African Farm Resource Centre telling us?
"For hybrid maize, 400 kg ha-1 of NPK is recommended to be applied just before planting, which should be followed up four weeks after planting with 250 kg ha-1 of CAN as side-dressing."
400 kg ha-1 before planting + 250 kg ha-1 after planting"
- How is this possible?
- Is that logical? I don’t understand it!!
- What about the law of diminishing returns?
- Could poor farmers afford this? Is this acceptable by farmers?
- What would be the benefit-cost ratio of this? Is this economically feasible?
- Nitrogen fertilization is the main cause of Carbon Footprints in agriculture. Did African Farm Resource Centre consider this?
Many thanks and respect to all RG members!!!

For example, my results for the level of fear among my respondents is high and also for the level of stress. However, the correlation coefficient of both of these variables is 0.52, am I correct that this is a moderate positive correlation and if so, do these two variables that are high with a moderate positive correlation be alright?
Is anybody aware of any relationship between no feeling conscious fear (but with normal physiological response) and any disfunction of the inmunitary system (e.g. not achieving serological protection after being vaccinated)?

Most governments around the World are lost at handling their borders policy since the start of Covid-19. We are often seeing a hiccup style open/close of borders, dictated by fear and scoops rather than scientific evaluation of the situation, which harms economies and the air industry. In order to try and fix this, I have built a mathematical model to calculate the risks of allowing in passengers from a given country. The model is called Selective Entry Dynamic Risk Assessment (SEDRA). It calculates a "Safety Index" for each country, which is updated every week. Countries are then put in 5 "Risk Groups" ranging from "VERY LOW" to "VERY HIGH, according to this Safety Index. This allows governments to have a universal criterion to determine which countries can be considered safer than others, and allow passengers in selectively but constantly, rather than closing borders at each new variant or outburst somewhere.
I am looking for collaborators in helping refine this model, contribute ideas and eventually programming to make this more interactive and available to governments. Academic co-signatories of this paper are also welcome, in view of publication.
Many in the past have produced works of great impact under names that are not theirs. They assume a name and write under that name for many reasons; some to avoid political victimization under repressive regimes.
We have the example of the Bronte sisters who wrote a whole body of prose works under pseudonyms in order to save the works from gender bias. This was because at the time of writing Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and other novels, fiction writing was male dominated.
Musicians and writers criticizing repressive regimes dare not use their real names on protest works for fear of personal safety.
Researchers crossing national and political divides contribute scientific findings to intellectual knowledge through journal articles written under pseudonyms in order not to be accused of betraying trust or serving valuable findings to the opposition.
WOULD YOU FOR ANY REASON CONSIDER PUBLISHING ANY WORK UNDER A PSEUDONYM?
As insects become more resistant to pesticides, the “smell of fear” some predators produce may someday be harnessed to repel and disrupt destructive insects naturally. In a recent study, a team of researchers found that the synthesized scent of a ladybug had measurable effects on their natural prey aphids in the lab, and the next step will be field tests. Plant-eating bugs pose threats to farmers and gardeners, prompting the use of pesticides. In the study led by Hermann, predator insects emit odors that their herbivorous prey can detect. This, in turn, changes pests’ behavior and even their physiology to avoid being eaten. The researchers have found a way to capture the “smell of fear” to obviate the need for harsh chemicals.
Farmers are known to use massive amounts of pesticides to get rid of the hordes of hungry insects that are destroying their crops because herbivores are a major threat to crop yields. These pesticides often cause massive environmental problems. They can reach our food, harm humans, threaten bees, kill birds, and destroy populations of predatory insects as well, making the crop pest problem worse in the long run. So one alternative that researchers and farmers have been testing is to use predatory insects to control plant-eaters. However, this approach - known as biological control - has its own challenges, as the release of many natural predators may not always target the intended species, in addition to the fact that some pests are invasive and have no native predators, and may even prey on each other in the end.
So, what is your scientific opinion on harnessing the natural smell of predators as a promising future direction of chemical ecology applied in sustainable pest control?
All comments and contributions are welcome.

Hello, everyone!
I would like to work with Japanese people, mainly Japanese university students, to reduce their fear of coronavirus and their anxiety about the future.
If anyone knows of a work or intervention protocol that could be translated into Japanese and used, please share the information!
My personal experience is only mastectomy and autologous reconstruction After neoadjuvant XRT. I fear increased complication rates (e.g. skin necrosis). A study is planned at University Düsseldorf - Dept. Radiotherapy.
Daily news from all around the world are feeding fear because we hear a lot about death, control, containment-mechanisms and suffering accoring to COVID-19. Following the media we see a lot of "important" people saying "...we need more security, more prevention… we have underestimated that Virus" - And smilingly in fear the we accept measures which may be helpful for prevention for one thing but harmful for our souls on the other hand. Prohibition to meet at the playgrounds for children, prohibition to connect each other, stay togehter in hard times and strongly not to touch each other and many more. Even cashless payment and within this total loss of finance liberty is discussed in political rounds…
So what can we do?! We need a logical but also heartful and soulful handling and very urgent a respectful handling of COVID-19 otherwise the biggest damage will be the loss of humanity!
May 27, 2020. Things are still bound to get worse, for a while. But for a few hundred thousand, so far, you have survived the Covid-19 infection and have now convalesced. There is no evidence proving you can catch it again. If you had evidence of infection by the actual viral secretion test, and have recovered, you should have antibodies built up to fight the Covid-19. These antibodies can be tested on a blood serum test. You should then be able to resume normal activities, without fear of being re-infected. You can also potentially be a donor of those blood antibodies to help those who are seriously ill from the virus, and hopefully this will be established through the usual blood donor clinics, etc. my main point here though, is that you if you are tested immune, you can probably go fearlessly to the frontline and protect those who are still vulnerable from infection. I hope that the confirmatory Covid-19 serology test will soon be freely available, allowing those fearless warriors to protect the vulnerable from the invisible enemy.
Ahorsu et al.'s Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCV-19s) has been validated in Bangla (Sakib et al., 2020), Italian (Soraci et al., 2020), Arabic (Alyami et al., 2020), Russian (Reznik et al., 2020), Hebrew (Bitan et al., 2020), Turkish (Satici et al., 2020), and now English (Winter et al. https://psyarxiv.com/mvtd8). Here is a place to discuss the properties of the scale and highlight some of the outcomes the scale is associated with. For example, Winter et al. 2020 shows the scale correlates with political beliefs, suggesting that the Covid-19 pandemic has been politicized.

Fear of COVID-19 Scale is used all over the world.
There are many articles on Fear of COVID-19 Scale in various journals and in various languages.
Would you like to share the article about "Fear of COVID-19 Scale" and the items for each language?
By sharing, everyone will be able to compare data from different countries, compare factor structures, and conduct meta-analysis.
In addition, people who want to use the Fear of COVID-19 Scale will be able to find a scale for their country (language) immediately, and it will be easier to conduct a cultural comparison study.
I'm looking for information from everyone.
There is fear of the fact that under the 4.IR, there is anticipation of deep machine learning, robotization of criminal conduct and that conduct of human beings will be non-existent. How will this really affect the practice of Criminal Law?
What is the brain circuit and the neurochemistry for fear anxiety or panic anxiety ?
Do you think of it as a part of life, as a disease without a cure, as a way of immortalization, as a way of transformation, as a way to freedom..or something else. Is it good or bad? We all know that it is the real truth of life but why we always fear to talk about it.
From an empirical, scientific perspective, which approach, love or fear, will lead to higher productivity?
Compared to the Western World , COVID 19 has disrupted the African higher education institutions hugely. The transition from the face-to-face instructions to online learning or blended teaching has not been easy in Africa at all. African Universities needed highly trained manpower, uninterrupted Internet access, modern management systems, latest strategic plans, flexible curriculum, and quality assurance systems to grapple with the gruesome and unexpected effects of COVID -19. Fear has pervaded our campuses. In many African Universities, even the elderly Professors do not have access to vaccines yet. Should African higher education institutions re-design strategic plans in response to COVID 19?
There are many balance tests utilized to measure postural stability among older adults. I am interested to hear perspectives on fear of falling and balance confidence instruments commonly used in a variety of settings.
Although vaccination has started everywhere there is fear and worry of adverse effects. This is predominantly attributed to limited information regarding side-effects and efficacies of the vaccines.
I am planning to conduct an online survey on the fear of aging in the UK.
I want to survey people between the ages of 35 and 75 - with similar numbers in each age bracket (ie 35-45, 46-55 etc) and a balance of genders.
I would appreciate any help on the numbers needed to get a representative sample.
Thanks
We know how the virus is being transmitted and how to prevent or at least minimize its spread. We also know that there's no effective treatment other than supportive care. Like any other infections, the highest mortality rate occurs in the already weakened immune system such as the very old and already ill individuals. Most infected people do not get any sicker nor die.
Do you think that people need to overcome the fear of COVID-19? Because medicine/ vaccines will take time to reach every one. People need to develop positivity and move forward. Festivals and children going to schools can only bring sign of normalcy to comman people across the world.
