    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_psychology...

    Social psychology utilizes a wide range of specific theories for various kinds of social and cognitive phenomena. Here is a sampling of some of the more influential theories that can be found in this branch of psychology. Attribution theory – is concerned with the ways in which people explain (or attribute) the behaviour of others. The theory ...

  3. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    As promoters are typically immediately adjacent to the gene in question, positions in the promoter are designated relative to the transcriptional start site, where transcription of DNA begins for a particular gene (i.e., positions upstream are negative numbers counting back from -1, for example -100 is a position 100 base pairs upstream).

  4. Manifest and latent functions and dysfunctions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_and_latent...

    Manifest functions are the consequences that people see, observe or even expect. It is explicitly stated and understood by the participants in the relevant action. The manifest function of a rain dance, according to Merton in his 1957 Social Theory and Social Structure, is to produce rain, and this outcome is intended and desired by people participating in the ritual.

  5. Regulatory sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_sequence

    An active enhancer regulatory sequence of DNA is enabled to interact with the promoter DNA regulatory sequence of its target gene by formation of a chromosome loop. This can initiate messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) bound to the promoter at the transcription start site of the gene. The loop is stabilized by one ...

  6. Initiator element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiator_element

    The Inr element for core promoters was found to be more prevalent than the TATA box in eukaryotic promoter domains. [11] In a study of 1800+ distinct human promoter sequences it was found that 49% contain the Inr element while 21.8% contain the TATA box. [11] Out of those sequences with the TATA box, 62% contained the Inr element as well.

  7. Gray's biopsychological theory of personality - Wikipedia

    Gray's biopsychological theory of personality is a model of the general biological processes relevant for human psychology, behavior, and personality, proposed by research psychologist Jeffrey Alan Gray in 1970. The theory is well-supported by subsequent research and has general acceptance among professionals.

    It describes the nature and composition of psychology's many ideas. To explain the logic of psychology, there has been a conclusion of the principles belonging to the three classified areas. Psychology is built on the principle of being able to reference observable behavior, physical environment, and/or physiological states. Theoretical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_activity

    Promoter activity of the P-RM and P-R promoters vs RNA polymerase concentration in the enterobacteriophage lambda [1]. Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3]
