“…200, issue 2, article 127, DOI: 10.1007 drawn into such practices. Or, another way of accommodating non-perceptual affect is to hold that it can in some cases alter perceptual processing (Zadra & Clore, 2011), and thereby have an impact on our aesthetic experiences, changing the aesthetic properties we attribute to people or objects (Matey, 2016). 23 Extensions of the account in one or more of the ways described above helps address what appear to be problematic cases for any account that invokes fluency, such as artworks that are processed in perception in a perceptually disfluent manner but are nevertheless experienced as having positive aesthetic properties.…”

“…Instead, these aesthetic properties appear to be an inextricable part of the fabric of our experience. 1 The view that we perceptually experienceor experience in some broader sense -aesthetic properties, is the predominant view in aesthetics (Hopkins, 2005;Irvin, 2008;Iseminger, 2004;Lamarque, 2010;Leopold, 1949;Levinson, 2005;Lopes, 2014aLopes, , 2016Matey, 2016;Sibley, 2001b;Stokes, 2014;Tormey, 1973;Tucker, 1997;Wollheim, 1970;Zangwill, 1998). Yet it has received surprisingly little defence, and has recently been challenged on the grounds that the view is in tension with the training required to develop aesthetic expertise (Dorsch, 2013).…”

“…High-level properties are usually defined stipulatively as any properties that go beyond the basic 'building blocks' of perceptual experience such as shape and colour. While the debate has largely focused on artifactual or natural kind properties, such as being a tea kettle or a tiger (Brogaard, 2013;Siegel, 2010), at least some aesthetic properties are also plausibly viewed as high-level properties (Logue, 2013(Logue, , 2018Matey, 2016;Stokes, 2018).…”

“…Whether or not this affective influence amounts to 'cognitive' permeation is beyond the scope of this paper. See(Matey 2016) for reason to think it might.24 One might object here that the person is simply perceiving the work in the wrong category, and that given the preponderance of blue period exemplars their learned category is not 'Picasso paintings' but rather 'Picasso blue period paintings'. This would make the issue here identical to the issue Walton was trying to address of how to determine the correct category.…”

Aesthetic perception and the puzzle of training

While the view that we perceive aesthetic properties may seem intuitive, it has received little in the way of explicit defence. It also gives rise to a puzzle. The first strand of this puzzle is that we often cannot perceive aesthetic properties of artworks without training, yet much aesthetic training involves the acquisition of knowledge, such as when an artwork was made, and by whom. How, if at all, can this knowledge affect our perception of an artwork's aesthetic properties? The second strand of the puzzle arises when we widen the scope of aesthetic experience. The very same aesthetic properties that seem to require training for their perception in artworks do not appear require training to perceive in objects of everyday aesthetic appreciation and natural phenomena. In this paper I argue that a prominent extant attempt to explain how training is compatible with aesthetic perceptioncognitive permeation -is an inadequate solution. I also develop a positive view of aesthetic perception that provides a unified solution to both strands of the puzzle.

The effects of interpersonal attraction on service justice

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of physical attraction, social attraction and task attraction, which are interpersonal attraction components of service staff, on interactional justice, procedural justice and distributive justice, all of which are components of service justice. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted after deriving measurement tools through two preliminary studies. The research sample was made by those who have visited the restaurant where the service staff provides services directly to the customers. Respondents were instructed by investigators to complete the questionnaire based on their most recent visit to the most visited restaurants in the past three months. They received a $5 gift voucher after completing the questionnaire. Findings Physical attraction negatively affected interactional justice, procedural justice and distributive justice. Social attraction had a negative impact on procedural justice. Task attraction had the greatest positive impact on all service justice factors. Practical implications To attract customers’ positive perceptions of service execution and outcomes, task attraction should be considered first rather than physical attraction and social attraction of service staff. Originality/value This study expanded the scope of research on interpersonal attraction by studying physical attraction, social attraction and task attraction as interpersonal attraction factors at service encounters, and on service justice by setting the interpersonal attraction as a variable affecting service justice.

Meaningfulness and grief: you don’t know what you got till it’s gone

What makes a life meaningful and how do we know when our lives have meaning? This paper draws on the experience of grief to provide answer to these questions. It is argued that grief is a unique kind of transformative experience that gives us access to facts about the depth of meaningfulness and value that even the most seemingly mundane aspects of our day-to-day lives have had which often goes largely unrecognized until the source of that meaning is lost.
