Scales in traditional Western music generally consist of seven notes and repeat at the octave. Notes in the commonly used scales (see just below) are separated by whole and half step intervals of tones and semitones. The harmonic minor scale includes a three-semitone step; the anhemitonic pentatonic includes two of tho... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Accidentals are rare, and somewhat unsystematically used, often to avoid the tritone. Music of the common practice periods (1600–1900) uses three types of scale: The diatonic scale (seven notes)—this includes the major scale and the natural minor The melodic and harmonic minor scales (seven notes)These scales are used ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The music of this period introduces modulation, which involves systematic changes from one scale to another. Modulation occurs in relatively conventionalized ways. For example, major-mode pieces typically begin in a "tonic" diatonic scale and modulate to the "dominant" scale a fifth above. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In the 19th century (to a certain extent), but more in the 20th century, additional types of scales were explored: The chromatic scale (twelve notes) The whole-tone scale (six notes) The pentatonic scale (five notes) The octatonic or diminished scales (eight notes)A large variety of other scales exists, some of the mor... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In many musical circumstances, a specific note of the scale is chosen as the tonic—the central and most stable note of the scale. In Western tonal music, simple songs or pieces typically start and end on the tonic note. Relative to a choice of a certain tonic, the notes of a scale are often labeled with numbers recordi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The expression scale degree refers to these numerical labels. Such labeling requires the choice of a "first" note; hence scale-degree labels are not intrinsic to the scale itself, but rather to its modes. For example, if we choose A as tonic, then we can label the notes of the C major scale using A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
When we do so, we create a new scale called the A minor scale. See the musical note article for how the notes are customarily named in different countries. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The scale degrees of a heptatonic (7-note) scale can also be named using the terms tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, subtonic. If the subtonic is a semitone away from the tonic, then it is usually called the leading-tone (or leading-note); otherwise the leading-tone refers to the raised sub... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In the major scale, the solfège syllables are: do, re, mi, fa, so (or sol), la, ti (or si), do (or ut). In naming the notes of a scale, it is customary that each scale degree be assigned its own letter name: for example, the A major scale is written A–B–C♯–D–E–F♯–G♯ rather than A–B–D♭–D–E–E–G♯. However, it is impossibl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
It is assumed that the scale is tuned using 12-tone equal temperament (so that, for instance, C♯ is the same as D♭), and that the tonic is in the leftmost position. For example, the binary number 101011010101, equivalent to the decimal number 2773, would represent any major scale (such as C–D–E–F–G–A–B). This system in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
For instance, 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 denotes any major scale such as C–D–E–F–G–A–B, in which the first degree is, obviously, 0 semitones from the tonic (and therefore coincides with it), the second is 2 semitones from the tonic, the third is 4 semitones from the tonic, and so on. Again, this implies that the notes are drawn fr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Composers transform musical patterns by moving every note in the pattern by a constant number of scale steps: thus, in the C major scale, the pattern C–D–E might be shifted up, or transposed, a single scale step to become D–E–F. This process is called "scalar transposition" or "shifting to a new key" and can often be f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In Western tonal music, the simplest and most common type of modulation (or changing keys) is to shift from one major key to another key built on the first key's fifth (or dominant) scale degree. In the key of C major, this would involve moving to the key of G major (which uses an F♯). Composers also often modulate to ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Through the introduction of blue notes, jazz and blues employ scale intervals smaller than a semitone. The blue note is an interval that is technically neither major nor minor but "in the middle", giving it a characteristic flavour. A regular piano cannot play blue notes, but with electric guitar, saxophone, trombone a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In blues, a pentatonic scale is often used. In jazz, many different modes and scales are used, often within the same piece of music. Chromatic scales are common, especially in modern jazz. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
In Western music, scale notes are often separated by equally tempered tones or semitones, creating 12 intervals per octave. Each interval separates two tones; the higher tone has an oscillation frequency of a fixed ratio (by a factor equal to the twelfth root of two, or approximately 1.059463) higher than the frequency... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Many other musical traditions use scales that include other intervals. These scales originate within the derivation of the harmonic series. Musical intervals are complementary values of the harmonic overtones series. Many musical scales in the world are based on this system, except most of the musical scales from Indon... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Some scales use a different number of pitches. A common scale in Eastern music is the pentatonic scale, which consists of five notes that span an octave. For example, in the Chinese culture, the pentatonic scale is usually used for folk music and consists of C, D, E, G and A, commonly known as gong, shang, jue, chi and... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Among these scales Hejaz scale has one scale step spanning 14 intervals (of the middle eastern type found 53 in an octave) roughly similar to 3 semitones (of the western type found 12 in an octave), while Saba scale, another of these middle eastern scales, has 3 consecutive scale steps within 14 commas, i.e. separated ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Indian classical music uses a moveable seven-note scale. Indian Rāgas often use intervals smaller than a semitone. Turkish music Turkish makams and Arabic music maqamat may use quarter tone intervals. In both rāgas and maqamat, the distance between a note and an inflection (e.g., śruti) of that same note may be less th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |

Kalervo Oberg first proposed his model of cultural adjustment in a talk to the Women's Club of Rio de Janeiro in 1954. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
During this period, the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic light. For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new food, the pace of life, and the locals' habits. During the first few weeks, most people are fascinated by the new culture. They associate with natio... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
After some time (usually around three months, depending on the individual), differences between the old and new culture become apparent and may create anxiety. Excitement may eventually give way to unpleasant feelings of frustration and anger as one continues to experience unfavorable events that may be perceived as st... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Still, the most important change in the period is communication: People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet used to the new environment and meet people with whom they are not familiar every day. The language barrier may become a major obstacle in creating new relationships... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Again, after some time (usually 6 to 12 months), one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops routines. One knows what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. One becomes concerned with basic living again, and things become more "normal". One starts to develop problem-sol... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
In the mastery stage individuals are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture. Mastery does not mean total conversion; people often keep many traits from their earlier culture, such as accents and languages. It is often referred to as the bicultural stage. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Gary R. Weaver wrote that culture shock has "three basic causal explanations": loss of familiar cues, the breakdown of interpersonal communications, and an identity crisis. Peter S. Adler emphasized the psychological causes. Tema Milstein wrote that it can have positive effects. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Reverse culture shock (also known as "re-entry shock" or "own culture shock") may take place—returning to one's home culture after growing accustomed to a new one can produce the same effects as described above. These are results from the psychosomatic and psychological consequences of the readjustment process to the p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Reverse culture shock is generally made up of two parts: idealization and expectations. When an extended period of time is spent abroad we focus on the good from our past, cut out the bad, and create an idealized version of the past. Secondly, once removed from our familiar setting and placed in a foreign one we incorr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
There are three basic outcomes of the adjustment phase: Some people find it impossible to accept the foreign culture and to integrate. They isolate themselves from the host country's environment, which they come to perceive as hostile, withdraw into an (often mental) "ghetto" and see return to their own culture as the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
Some people integrate fully and take on all parts of the host culture while losing their original identity. This is called cultural assimilation. They normally remain in the host country forever. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
This group is sometimes known as "Adopters" and describes approximately 10% of immigrants. Some people manage to adapt to the aspects of the host culture they see as positive, while keeping some of their own and creating their unique blend. They have no major problems returning home or relocating elsewhere. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |
This group can be thought to be cosmopolitan. Approximately 30% of immigrants belong to this group.Culture shock has many different effects, time spans, and degrees of severity. Many people are hampered by its presence and do not recognize why they are bothered.There is evidence to suggest that the psychological influe... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock |

The evaluation apprehension theory was proposed by Nickolas B. Cottrell in 1972.

On this basis, our arousal may be modula... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |

In this situation, evaluation apprehension is called stereotype threat. Stereotype threat can also occur in private, whereas evaluation apprehension cannot. Evaluation apprehension can affect subjects' behavior in psychological experiments, and can lead to invalid causal inference. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |

To study the causal influence of evaluation apprehension in experimental designs, experimenters frequently have to try to manipulate this variable. By creating differing levels of evaluation apprehension, researchers can assess its effect on, and interaction with, other variables, such as self-esteem and manifest anxie... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |
Specifically, they studied the effect of evaluation apprehension between two groups: people from collectivistic cultures and people from individualistic cultures. To manipulate evaluation apprehension, they raised and lowered the level of evaluation apprehension depending on if participants were alone or with a group o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |
Until recently, scholars hypothesized that the model of social-esteem directly contrasted the model of self-esteem, one's evaluation of oneself. There is some consensus that social-esteem is influenced by evaluation apprehension given that they are both related to a person's apprehension of being evaluated by others. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |
However, recent research shows that evaluation apprehension can also influence general self-esteem. Leary et al. conducted an experiment in which participants were told that they would be taking a test that could threaten their ego and that either "only they, only another individual, both they and the other individual,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_apprehension_model |
Leary et al. thus hoped to create conditions that tested the effects of differing levels of evaluation apprehension on social-esteem and self-esteem.

In linguistics, conjugation () is the creation of derived forms of a verb from its principal parts by inflection (alteration of form according to rules of grammar). For instance, the verb break can be conjugated to form the words break, breaks, broke, broken and breaking. While English has a relatively simple conjugati... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation |
Some languages such as Georgian and Basque have highly complex conjugation systems with hundreds of possible conjugations for every verb. Verbs may inflect for grammatical categories such as person, number, gender, case, tense, aspect, mood, voice, possession, definiteness, politeness, causativity, clusivity, interroga... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation |
Agglutinative and polysynthetic languages tend to have the most complex conjugations, albeit some fusional languages such as Archi can also have extremely complex conjugation. Typically the principal parts are the root and/or several modifications of it (stems). All the different forms of the same verb constitute a lex... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation |
The term conjugation is applied only to the inflection of verbs, and not of other parts of speech (inflection of nouns and adjectives is known as declension). Also it is often restricted to denoting the formation of finite forms of a verb – these may be referred to as conjugated forms, as opposed to non-finite forms, s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation |
For example, Latin is said to have four conjugations of verbs. This means that any regular Latin verb can be conjugated in any person, number, tense, mood, and voice by knowing which of the four conjugation groups it belongs to, and its principal parts.

Verbal agreement, or concord, is a morpho-syntactic construct in which properties of the subject and/or objects of a verb are indicated by the verb form. Verbs are then said to agree with their subjects (resp. objects). Many English verbs exhibit subject agreement of the following sort: whereas I go, you go, we go, the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_conjugation |
