Trait inattention and goal representations.
… maintenance. In six studies, the link between trait inattention and working memory limitations was investigated with the aim of differentiating inattention from hyperactivity and impulsivity, which are commonly comorbid with inattention in ADHD. Across two studies, it was found that trait …

Multiple trait analysis for genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for carcass and beef quality
… of molecular markers to identify quantitative trait loci ( QTL ) affecting economically important traits has become a key approach in animal genetics, both for understanding the genetic basis of these traits and to help design novel breeding programs. The general goal of the present work was to …

Using Trait Self-Distancing to Predict Affective States
… in self-focus can be understood as a personality trait. Two studies are reported where I construct and evaluate the Self-Distancing Scale (SDS), which is a self-report measure of trait self-distancing. In Study 1 I found that evidence for construct validity of the SDS was poor. I further found …
