  2. Mental operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_operations

    Pierre Janet was one of the first to use the concept in psychology. Mental operations have been investigated at a developmental level by Jean Piaget, and from a psychometric perspective by J. P. Guilford. There is also a cognitive approach to the subject, as well as a systems view of it.

  3. Reactance (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactance_(psychology)

    In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, regulations, advice, recommendations, information, nudges, and messages that are perceived to threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one's choice of response and ...

  4. Hess's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess's_law

    Hess's law states that the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is the same regardless of whether the reaction takes place in one step or several steps, provided the initial and final states of the reactants and products are the same. Enthalpy is an extensive property, meaning that its value is proportional to the system size. [4]

  5. Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium

    A and B are reactant chemical species, S and T are product species, and α, β, σ, and τ are the stoichiometric coefficients of the respective reactants and products: α A + β B ⇌ σ S + τ T. The equilibrium concentration position of a reaction is said to lie "far to the right" if, at equilibrium, nearly all the reactants are consumed.

  6. Consumer behaviour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_behaviour

    Consumer behaviour is the study of individuals, groups, or organisations and all activities associated with the purchase, use and disposal of goods and services.It encompasses how the consumer's emotions, attitudes, and preferences affect buying behaviour.

  7. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. [1]: 26 In most cases of a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate for the next. However, side products are considered waste and removed from the ...

  8. Standard enthalpy of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_reaction

    In each case the word standard implies that all reactants and products are in their standard states. Standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change when one mole of an organic compound reacts with molecular oxygen (O 2 ) to form carbon dioxide and liquid water.

  9. Construct (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construct_(psychology)

    In psychology, a construct, also called a hypothetical construct or psychological construct, is a tool used to facilitate understanding of human behavior. A psychological construct is a label for a domain of behaviors. Behavioral sciences use constructs such as conscientiousness, intelligence, political power, self-esteem, and group culture.
