Individual differences in intuitive-experiential and analytical-rational thinking styles.

Skill decay in surgeons deployed on military operations: a systematic review

“…However, there was an absence of evidence as to how effective these interventions were in terms of impact on patient outcomes. Protective or mitigation factors pertain to (1) the manner in which the surgeon originally acquired the technical skill (the original learning process)19–21; (2) the degree to which ‘overlearning’ is protective and the threshold effects thereof; (3) time characteristics of ongoing practice (eg, whether distributive—short bouts of regular practice—over time is more effective than opportunistic or non-distributive practice); (4) nature of simulation practice (tissue-based or non-tissue-based); and (5) cognitive training (eg, use of mental rehearsal). Kolozsvari et al 15 did not show a protective effect of overlearning to an expert level compared with standard proficiency on simulated laparoscopic peg transfer after one month of no practice.…”

Social class and moral judgment: a process dissociation perspective

“…The score in the Cognitive Reflection Test simply counts the number of correctly answered questions ( M = 1.094, SD = 1.010). Faith in intuition (Epstein et al, 1996 ) was constructed as an additive index over 15 items using a scale from 1 to 7 (α = 0.890, M = 4.718, SD = 0.907). Empathic concern was measured using a German version (Grimm, 2015 ) of a subscale of Davis' Empathy Scale (Davis, 1980 ).…”

“…In addition, we also test empirically whether class-based differences in moral judgment are mediated by differences in emphatic concern. To expand on the existing literature, we consider additional potential mediators such as the tendency toward cognitive reflection (Frederick, 2005 ; Kahneman, 2011 ), the faith in the adequacy of first intuitions (Epstein et al, 1996 ) as well as the importance subjects place on having a moral identity (Aquino and Reed, 2002 ).…”

Demographic Determinants Influencing the Adoption of Genetic Testing for Cardiovascular Diseases in Japan ― Insights From a Large-Scale Online Survey ―

“…Our survey was designed to compare background factors between individuals who had undergone genetic testing for CVD and those who had not. It included queries on cardiovascular history, CVD genetic testing experience at a medical facility or through direct-to-consumer survices, Kemp Quality of Life Scale; 9 1 question designed to assess the overall quality of life (QOL) of the individual, taking into consideration various aspects of life on a 1–7 scale, the Rational-Experiential Inventory-10 (REI-10); 10 a set of 10 questions that comprised a psychological assessment tool used to measure 2 different styles of cognition: rational (analytical, logical reasoning) and experiential (intuitive, emotion-based decision-making); as well as demographic details (age, sex, marital status, parental status, and occupation). The specific content of the questionnaire comprising 4 questions is shown in Table 1 .…”
