Now that you've imagined the resolution that would bring you a real happiness lift, are there ways you could follow that resolution now?
They come back with some comments, which are all very positive' (positive resolution in italics), thus a specific learning contingency is established between the ambiguous start of the scenario and the imagined positive resolution.
In this version (the control condition) 50% of the scenarios have a positive resolution and 50% have a negative resolution (eg, 'They come back with some comments, which are all critical'), thus no contingency is established between the start of the scenario and the valence of the imagined final resolution.
The distance between the two sides is so great that it's hard to imagine any resolution this year.
One can imagine a resolution that established a sequence: the government would be funded, the debt ceiling would be raised, and negotiations would begin – in that order.
If we want to be realistic, it's hard to imagine any resolution until after Thanksgiving.
This "imagery CBM" involves repeated practice in generating positive resolutions via mental imagery when confronted with ambiguous stimuli, with the aim of instilling a more adaptive bias to automatically imagine positive resolutions of novel ambiguous information in everyday life (e.g., Holmes, Mathews, Dalgleish, & Mackintosh, 2006; Holmes, Mathews, Mackintosh, & Dalgleish, 2008).
This malleability can be achieved through a computerised procedure involving repeated exposure to the reinforced positive and negative resolution of imagined ambiguous situations.
Here too, it is [p576] difficult to imagine that the resolution could be limited by anything less than a series of adjudications, and the chilling effect of the resolution on protected speech in the meantime would make such a case-by-case adjudication intolerable.
"Can you give them hot chocolate?" a female Parks employee asked, imagining a happy resolution.
To examine this hypothesis, the DTDs from moderate resolution imagine spectroradiometer (MODIS) during a selected time period, i.e., after a heavy rainfall between autumn harvest and autumn sowing, were classified using fuzzy-c-means (FCM) clustering.
