The Phil-shaped twist, for instance, is introduced early, without a scrap of suspense, and, when we tack back East, to a subplot about Bobby's no-good brother, Ben (Corey Stoll), a hoodlum whose idea of friendly persuasion involves a pit of wet concrete, the mood of the movie barely skips a beat.
I make largely instrumental music, and it's definitely challenging because obviously the more verbal information you have, the more concrete the mood or the message.
Both author and illustrator use big, broad strokes, sacrificing concrete detail for mood, and it wasn't until the last page (and my breathing returned to normal) that I realized I longed to know more.
Be fair and impartial in both your abstract and concrete interpretations of passing moods, expressions or subtle actions of others whom you do not trust--or whom you may wish to control (without rights to do so).
Again, these findings suggest that the tendency for healthy controls to become concrete in response to negative mood is adaptive, suggesting that individuals effectively regulate their level of goal/action identification.
Studies such as Poldrack's, which aim to correlate hard-to-describe personal experiences such as mood or emotion with concrete measurements, for example, are among them because the researchers have particular expertise that makes them ideal subjects.
Her therapy practice, writing and trainings emphasize the role of personal responsibility for self-care and concrete skills to maintain more balanced mood.
Moreover, these findings further strengthen the proposal that there is a direct relationship between change in mood and change in concrete level of identification, indicating a linear relationship between mood and level of identification in healthy controls.
Importantly, these results suggest that clinical depression may be characterised by the failure of the normal and adaptive function of mood to engender more concrete identifications in order to deal with difficult situations.
We therefore predicted that identifications of behaviour would become increasingly concrete as participants reported increasing levels of sad mood and/or decreasing levels of happy mood, thereby conceptually replicating Beukeboom and Semin's (2005, 2006) findings using a within-subjects design.
