We conclude that mind-wandering is not only driven by the objective demands of the task, but also by subjective evaluations of those task properties, which are influenced by the context in which the task is evaluated (i.e., the "evaluative context").
Task-related interference refers to evaluative thoughts about the task or about task performance (i.e., "I'm not very good at this," "This task is boring", e.g., Sarason, Sarason, Keefe, Hates, & Shearin, 1986; Smallwood et al., 2004).
We compared the influence of emotion-laden roadside advertisements (positive, negative, and neutral solutions) either on the evaluation of possible risk (i.e., evaluative behavior) or the decision to stop/speed up (i.e., urgent behavior).

In everyday discourse, the valuing sense of respect, especially when used about people, most commonly means thinking highly of someone, i.e., evaluative respect.
Here we used implicit measures in order to (i) examine implicit evaluative and arousal associations with SH (ii) compare the discriminatory power of implicit and explicit attitude measures in a non-clinical sample at high risk of SH.
Furthermore, measures with adequate psychometric properties are often either primarily evaluative, i.e. illustrating the extent to which perceptions are positive or negative, or they focus on single dimensions of the aging experience such as anxiety about aging or felt-age.
Results indicated that CBM-I reduced social evaluative fear from baseline to day one of starting university to a greater extent than the placebo control intervention.
In the context of evaluating the crime drop, we are concerned with the concept of vertical equity: "the unequal, but equitable, treatment of unequals" (Mooney and Jan 1997: 80) as an evaluative criterion i.e. different levels of reduction in victimisation (the unequal) amongst those individuals or areas experiencing different levels of crime (the unequals).
