“…The second contribution of this frameworkconnected to the firstlies in proposing the interpretation of meaningful coincidences not only as the output of a number of information processing biasesas postulated, for example, by Diaconis and Mosteller (1989) and Johansen and Osman (2015), but also as inputs, through the elicited affect heuristic, for the occurrence of other cognitive errors that drive management decisions. Apart from adding relevant support to the co-evolutionary interpretation of cognitive errors driven by the affect heuristic (Abatecola et al, 2018), this advancement supports the view of the functioning of the human mind (Systems 1 and 2) as occurring through parallel processes, which may collaborate in forming choices (Evans, 2008;Luo and Yu, 2015;Kret and Bocanegra, 2016;Kirkebøen and Nordbye, 2017;Hodgkinson and Sadler-Smith, 2018). Indeed, affective states and cognition are framed here as collaborative forces whose interplay leads to the shape of management decisionsas also assumed by the recent Affect-Cognitive Theory (ACT) of management decisions (Cristofaro, 2020).…”

“…the parallel-competitive alternatives approach (Hodgkinson and Sadler-Smith, 2018). In particular, the latter advances that Systems 1 and 2 processes can, "under most circumstances" (Pacini and Epstein, 1999, p. 972), operate in parallelthe so-called "hot" cognition (Kret and Bocanegra, 2016). In this approach, fast reasoning and rational judgment do not operate in silos according to the proposed task, but may concur in forming choices (Evans, 2008).…”

Purpose This study aims to answer the following research question: “How do meaningful coincidences influence management decisions?” This question has gained relevance mainly because of the increasing attention of scholars in explaining the irrational pressures that shape management decisions, which should be inevitably taken into account to discover the causative factors of firms’ performances. Design/methodology/approach A multiparadigm approach to theory building has been adopted, known as “metatriangulation.” This study consisted of exploring the interplay between the synchronicity concept of Jung and cognitive studies. As a result, this work proposes a conceptual framework that refers to both sensemaking and cognitive decision-making literature. Findings The framework proposes that the perceived certainty (or not) about the potential outcome for the well-being, coming from the occurrence of meaningful coincidences, elicits a set of positive (or negative) affective states. These states activate a series of cognitive errors that drive the assignment of a symbolic content to the coincidences, bringing different risk-oriented management decisions. Research limitations/implications The provided model is purely conceptual and based on the current pool of knowledge available. As much as empirical evidence will be produced, this model may need revision. This framework proposes the interpretation of meaningful coincidences not only as the output of a number of information processing biases, but also as inputs, through the elicited affect heuristic, for the occurrence of other cognitive errors that drive management decisions. Practical implications The explained influence of irrational forces on management decisions, also considering luck and chance, can be fruitful to avoid these behaviors or to intentionally adopt them in selected cases, e.g. when looking for attractive unexploited opportunities within markets. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first work that attempts to unveil the impact of meaningful coincidences and, more in general, of irrational forces on management decisions. Moreover, the provided framework explains how superstitious events are sometimes looked for to guide decision-making.

“…Although researchers (Martínez-Marti & Ruch, 2017;Keye & Pidgeon, 2013;Tugade & Fredrickson, 2004) have documented the role of positive affect and mindfulness in individually predicting resilience, there is a dearth of studies that attempt to investigate the indirect relationships between these variables. There is an emerging body of research, which alludes to the notion that emotion may play a significant role in cognitive processing (Kret & Bocanegra, 2016;Tyng et al, 2017). According to Dane (2011), cognitive processing is an integral aspect of mindfulness because being able to pay attention to the present moment requires the individual to process both internal and external stimuli.…”

Orientation: Psychological resources are the factors that appear to have a significant impact on how leaders adapt to adversity and remain resilient. Positive affect and mindfulness are the psychological resources that positively relate to the levels of resilience of women leaders in higher education institutions.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of positive affect and mindfulness on the levels of resilience of women leaders in higher education institutions in South Africa.Motivation for the study: Identifying the internal resources women leaders use to facilitate resilience will allow higher education institutions to prioritise these resources in leadership support programmes to assist these women leaders.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data in a purposive sample of n = 255 women leaders in four South African higher education institutions. Pearson’s correlation analyses, multiple regression analyses and mediation analysis were used to analyse the data.Main findings: Findings indicated that positive affect and mindfulness were found to be significant predictors of resilience. Additionally, mindfulness was found to be a partial mediator in the relationship between positive affect and resilience.Practical/managerial implications: Higher education institutions can assist women leaders by investing in psychological resources such as mindfulness and positive affect to enhance the levels of resilience.Contribution/value-add: This study contributes to the limited research on the role of internal resources to enhance resilience in a workplace setting and more specifically amongst women leaders.

“…Hot executive functions are used to solve problems with an affective or motivational component [ 212 ], in areas such as decision-making [ 213 ]. In contrast, cold executive functions can be distinguished from hot executive functions by the absence of an affect linked to the cognitive process.…”

A Review of the Neuropsychological Dimensions of Tourette Syndrome

Neurocognitive functioning in Tourette syndrome (TS) has been the subject of intensive research in the past 30 years. A variety of impairments, presumably related to frontal and frontostriatal dysfunctions, have been observed. These impairments were found in various domains, such as attention, memory, executive functions, language, motor and visuomotor functions, among others. In line with contemporary research, other neurocognitive domains have recently been explored in TS, bringing evidence of altered social reasoning, for instance. Therefore, the aims of this review are to give an overview of the neuropsychological dimensions of TS, to report how neuropsychological functions evolve from childhood to adulthood, and to explain how various confounding factors can affect TS patients’ performance in neuropsychological tasks. Finally, an important contribution of this review is to show how recent research has confirmed or changed our beliefs about neuropsychological functioning in TS.
