The original theories assumed that humans are equipped with an agency detection module triggered by the feeling of threat. The recent predictive processing-based view, on the other hand, does not predict that threat increases agency detection. So far, studies on the feeling of threat and agency detection have yielded inconclusive evidence. The present study aims to (re)test the hypothesis that the feeling of threat increases agency detection, providing evidence regarding the underlying mechanism.Methods219 participants will explore an agentless, foggy virtual forest, instructed to press a button whenever they perceive an agent. While all participants will expect a stable number of agents, the feeling of threat will be manipulated via semantic priming, with agents introduced as either hostile or neutral. The level of fear-related arousal will be furt...

What does she look like and what does she think? Is there a typical female metalhead? This article summarizes qualitative research on woman’s motivational resources for participation in the contemporary Czech metal subculture. It discusses factors related to why women listen to metal and the role of men in this process. The research is based on seventeen semi-structured interviews with women in Czech metal. Respective research questions focus on female metalheads’ understanding of their position inside the subculture, their visual appearance, reasons for inclination to metal(e.g., partner’s influence or an attraction to the metal community), the issue of sex symbols in the metal industry, and issues of elitism and exclusivity. Results show that women within the metal subculture strike a balance between masculinity and femininity and often judge their surroundings from the perspective on these two poles. However, the primary insp...

Výzkumným cilem obou projektů bylo vyvolat v participantech umistěných do kontrolovaneho prostředi tzv. mystickou zkusenost (pomoci silně sugestivniho kontextu a senzoricke deprivace) a zjistit, jak je tato zkusenost ovlivněna jejich sugestibilitou a kulturnim ramcem. Sugestivnim kontextem experimentu byla tzv. terapie tmou, ktera podminky pro senzorickou deprivaci splňuje. Experimentalni skupina byla sestavena z přiznivců hnuti new age s aktivni zkusenosti s duchovni (spiritualni) praxi. Hlavnim teoretickým ramcem experimentu byla tzv. teorie prediktivniho vnimani, ktera vychazi z kognitivni psychologie. Výzkum spojitost mystických zkusenosti s vyssi mirou sugestibility participantů i jejich aktivni duchovni praxi prokazal, cimž napomohl ozřejmit způsob, jak tento druh mystic...
