People believe they have more free will than others
Edited* by Richard E. Nisbett, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, and approved November 15, 2010 (received for review August 13, 2010)
Four experiments identify a tendency for people to believe that their own lives are more guided by the tenets of free will than are the lives of their peers. These tenets involve the a priori unpredictability of personal action, the presence of multiple possible paths in a person's future, and the causal power of one's personal desires and intentions in guiding one's actions. In experiment 1, participants viewed their own pasts and futures as less predictable a priori than those of their peers. In experiments 2 and 3, participants thought there were more possible paths (whether good or bad) in their own futures than their peers' futures. In experiment 4, participants viewed their own future behavior, compared with that of their peers, as uniquely driven by intentions and desires (rather than personality, random features of the situation, or history). Implications for the classic actor–observer bias, for debates about free will, and for perceptions of personal responsibility are discussed.
My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will.
William James
We have to believe in free will. We've got no choice.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Many a philosopher, psychologist, and college freshman have lost sleep debating whether people have free will. Scholarly arguments against the existence of free will have sprung from theories of hard determinism in philosophy and from experimental studies of animal behavior, nonconscious processes, and neuronal activity (e.g., refs. 1–6). Just as important as the issue of whether people have free will is the issue raised by the above quotations: whether people believe they have free will. That belief affects whether people take responsibility for the outcomes of their actions and whether they go through life assuming that they can control their destiny—or whether they think there is such a thing as destiny at all.
Regardless of how most of us view free will in the abstract, our conscious experience generally provides us with the sense that we have it. We feel as though our desires and intentions precede and influence our actions, and that we face junctures in life where we make genuine, exciting, and often frightening choices about what path to take. At the same time, however, we often observe those around us and have the sense that their decisions (e.g., about what career path to pursue) and successes (e.g., in getting accepted at a top college) were predetermined by things like personality, upbringing, or genes. These contrasting experiences about the self vs. others may resolve themselves in a simple (although logically untenable) way: people, it is predicted, are likely to believe that the tenets of free will apply more in their own lives than in the lives of others.
This prediction draws on and aims to contribute to theorizing about the differing perspectives of "actors" vs. "observers" (7, 8). The actor–observer bias first described by Jones and Nisbett in 1971 (7) is typically thought of as the tendency for people to view their own actions as caused by the situation, while viewing others' actions as caused by those others' personalities. At first blush, this classic bias seems antithetical to our theorizing. If people view their own behavior as controlled by the situation but others' behavior as a product of their own personality, how could they view their own behavior as more freely willed? The answer, we suggest, is that the usual heuristic for describing the actor–observer bias is more catchy and convenient than it is complete and accurate. People, we suggest, do not view situations as inevitably and automatically controlling their actions. Instead, they are highly aware, as Jones and Nisbett noted (7), of the "emotional states and intentions" produced by their situations, and it is these feelings that are the foundations of their attributions. Thus, a more nuanced view of the actor–observer bias suggests that people are likely to perceive others' actions as constrained by their stable and unchanging personalities, while viewing their own actions as intentional responses to changing situations. Given that personality is often seen as a fixed characteristic, people might therefore perceive their own actions as more reflective of free will than the actions of others.
Generally speaking, the concept of free will involves the capacity for individuals to choose particular courses of action from among various alternatives (9). Perhaps the most well-known tenet associated with this notion involves indeterminism (i.e., the notion that a person's actions are not predetermined and cannot be predicted a priori). Some theorists (known as "compatibilists") adhere to the belief that free will can exist even without indeterminism, but they suggest that other tenets are required. Of these, the two tenets that have gained the most traction in discussions of free will are one requiring that when a person takes a particular course of action, that person "could have done otherwise" (i.e., multiple possible paths were available), and another requiring that a person's desires and intentions play a causal role in that person's actions (see ref. 5 for background).
Although no prior research that we know of has examined the prediction made in this article, some studies are suggestive. On the one hand, people generally overestimate the causal impact of their desires and intentions. Indeed, exaggerations of personal agency are a hallmark of mental health (10). People show illusions of control, whereby they assume that their wishes can influence chance or near-chance events (11, 12). They can even become convinced that they have caused seemingly magical outcomes (such as influencing a professional sports team's performance from the comfort of one's sofa) when they have had intentions consistent with those outcomes (13). On the other hand, people are not as prone to assuming that others' desires and intentions exert causal influence. When predicting others' future behavior, people sometimes are less interested in an "inside view" that takes into account those others' plans and intentions and more interested in an "outside view" that takes into account those others' past behavior or even population base rates (14–17). People view information about their own intentions as essential for understanding their own actions but they view information about others' intentions as inessential for making those same assessments about them (18).
Research in experimental philosophy has begun to take up the question of lay beliefs in free will, but has reached few firm conclusions (e.g., refs. 19, 20). Although logic suggests that there is one answer to the question of whether people have free will, people's lay beliefs appear to be more complex. In four experiments, we aim to show that participants view their own actions, compared with those of others, as more consistent with the tenets of free will—i.e., as less predictable a priori (experiment 1), more capable of taking different possible paths (experiments 2 and 3), and more determined by in-the-moment intentions and desires as opposed to personality, history, or circumstance (experiment 4).
Experiment 1: Predictability
Indeterminism (the most classic tenet of free will) refers to the notion that individuals' actions cannot be predetermined or predictable a priori. We hypothesized that college undergraduates would view their own past decisions and future decisions as less predictable a priori than those of a roommate. Participants were asked about the degree to which various events in either their own or their roommate's life were predictable a priori (events such as the demise of a past relationship or the path of a future career). Although past decisions and future decisions were examined, the hypothesized self–other difference was not expected to differ between the two types of decisions (prior theorizing suggested that future events might be perceived as less predictable overall; ref. 1).
Results of Experiment 1.
Participants perceived their own outcomes as less predictable a priori than those of a roommate (M = 3.86 vs. 4.81, on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 = not at all predictable to 7 = extremely predictable); F(1, 48) = 14.46, P = 0.0004. This self–other difference was significant for both past outcomes (M = 4.32 vs. 5.16), F(1, 48) = 6.40, P = 0.01 and future outcomes (M = 3.40 vs. 4.47), F(1, 48) = 8.46, P = 0.005.
Consistent with previous theorizing (1), there also was a main effect for time, whereby people perceived the future as less predictable than the past (M = 3.93 vs. 4.74); F(1, 48) = 10.94, P = 0.002. There was no interaction between past/future and self/other (F < 1).
Participants viewed their own pasts and futures as less predictable than those of their peers. These results suggest that participants believed that their own choices in life were, and would be, less predetermined than those of their peers. Moreover, participants provided these assessments in the context of roommate relationships, where they were likely to have a good deal of information about the person whom they were judging.
It is worth considering potential alternative accounts for why participants claimed that their actions were less predictable than their peers'. Perhaps they saw predictability as undesirable (and wanted to protect their self-image). Or, perhaps, our results reflected our participant sample—i.e., young people attending an elite college. Perhaps these individuals were atypically prone to imagining that the world of possibilities was open to them. Our next two experiments sought to build on our first, while addressing these alternative explanations.
Experiment 2: Possibilities
A central tenet of the concept of free will is that people are able to choose among options—to take one path when they "could have done otherwise" (21–23). If free will exists, people's futures must contain multiple different possibilities that could genuinely occur. We hypothesized that participants would view their own futures as possessing more possible paths than the futures of others. Employees of two local restaurants were asked to indicate from a set of options all of the possibilities that they saw as plausible with respect to their own future vs. a coworker's. Those possibilities included things such as different places where they might reside 10 years from now.
Results of Experiment 2.
Our primary prediction was that participants would indicate a larger number of "genuine possibilities" for their own future place of residence, job, and lifestyle than for those of a familiar coworker. Indeed, participants circled more options as being genuine possibilities in the case of themselves than a coworker (M = 7.00 vs. 5.66, out of 21 total possibilities); F(1, 27) = 8.30, P = 0.008. Moreover, this effect held for each question domain—place of residence, F(1, 27) = 4.85, P = 0.04; employment, F(1, 27) = 5.27, P = 0.03; and lifestyle, F(1, 27) = 4.99, P = 0.03 (Fig. 1). There were no order effects.
We next examined a secondary prediction suggested by our theoretical analysis. We expected that there was one possibility for each question that participants would see as more likely for their coworker than themselves—i.e., the possibility that in the next 10 y one would be in the "same" position as "right now." Because this possibility runs contrary to the conception that the future is open to novel possibilities, we expected it to be viewed as more common for others. Indeed, participants circled the same as right now possibility more frequently for others than themselves (M = 35 vs. 20%); χ2 (n = 84) = 4.31, P = 0.03. Participants believed that their own futures contained many possible paths, but that others were likely to continue on whatever path they were currently walking.
We conducted one final series of analyses to explore whether participants claimed that more possibilities were in their future simply because those possibilities were desirable (and thus viewing more of them as options was self-enhancing). We asked four employees from our sample to rate what they saw as the two "most desirable" and "least desirable" possibilities for each question. On the basis of their ratings, we created composites of the home/job/lifestyle combinations that our restaurant employees viewed as most desirable and least desirable. Participants were generally positive about their own and their coworkers' futures: there was a main effect whereby they viewed more of the options from the desirable triad as genuinely possible than options from the less desirable triad (M = 1.30 vs. 0.41); F(1, 27) = 38.44, P < 0.0001. As predicted, however, there was no difference between self vs. other assessments in participants' tendency to view desirable vs. undesirable options as genuine possibilities; F(1, 27) = 0.23, P = 0.64. Thus, our results could not be attributed to participants' trying to self-enhance by ascribing more desirable possibilities (vs. undesirable ones) to themselves vs. others. This result is an interesting counterpoint to past research showing that people view positive events (e.g., living past 80) as more likely to happen to them than to others and negative events (e.g., being fired from a job) as less likely to happen to them than to others (24). Perhaps our participants believed that the ratio of good to bad things in their future was better than that ratio for others but still could not escape the notion that even the less desirable outcomes were possible for them. This could reflect the fact that none of the possibilities in this study were genuinely undesirable (e.g., participants were asked whether it was possible that they would live in a different house or work a different job, but not if they might live in a shoddy house or work a dull job). Our next experiment sought to explore this phenomenon further by seeking to more directly rule out self-enhancement.
Experiment 3: Possibilities and Self-Enhancement
Undergraduates were asked about various possibilities that might be in their own postgraduation future or that of a peer. For each question, they were presented with one relatively desirable possibility (e.g., I might have an exciting job), one relatively undesirable possibility (e.g., I might have a boring job), and the conjunction of those two possibilities (i.e., both are possible), and they were asked to select which of those three options best represented what was genuinely possible. Self-enhancement would predict that people would select more desirable possibilities for themselves than for others and fewer undesirable possibilities for themselves than for others. Our free will hypothesis would predict that people would choose more possibilities overall (i.e., including desirable and undesirable ones) for themselves than for others.
Results of Experiment 3.
Our primary prediction was that participants would designate the conjunction of desirable and undesirable prospects as "genuinely possible" more often for themselves than for others. Consistent with this prediction, participants chose that conjunction a greater percentage of the time for themselves than a peer (M = 52 vs. 36%); F(1, 48) = 10.44, P = 0.002 (Table 1). When thinking about their own futures, they chose that option more often than they chose desirable options alone (M = 31%); F(1, 24) = 9.74, P = 0.005. By contrast, they did not show this pattern of choosing the conjunction more than desirable options alone when judging a peer (M = 43%); F(1, 24) < 1, NS, and this interaction (self/other × conjunction/desirable only) was significant; F(1, 48) = 8.34, P = 0.006. When participants did select only one outcome for themselves, they were more likely to choose a desirable one than an undesirable one (31 vs. 6%); F(1, 24) = 23.00, P < 0.0001, but they also showed this tendency for a peer (43 vs. 12%); F(1, 24) = 33.57, P < 0.0001, and there was no self–other difference, F < 1.
Participants reported that there were more possibilities, rather than more desirable ones, in their own futures than those of a friend. They seemed to believe that their future was not written in stone (for good or for ill). We expected that they believed that some variable that was not stable or predetermined—one that involved not randomness, but rather the exertion of their free will—was critical for predicting their future actions. Our next experiment further tested this hypothesis.
Experiment 4: Agency
A distinct tenet of free will is that it involves the ability to overcome the influences of situation and personality, to choose what one wants, and to act accordingly on one's preferences (5, 25). This experiment explored the hypothesis that people view their own behavior, in comparison with others', as more the product of ongoing wants and intentions (rather than past history, fixed traits, or random circumstances). To test this hypothesis, we asked participants to draw box models for predicting their own and a peer's behavior (on either "a particular Saturday night" or "after finishing college"). For each model, participants were instructed to include four predictors (the situation, personality, desires and intentions, and past behavior), with the size of the box that they used for each one indicating the amount of predictive weight they imputed to it.
Results of Experiment 4.
Our primary prediction was that participants would assign a greater amount of predictive weight in their models to their own desires and intentions (relative to their personality, past behavior, and situation) than to others' desires and intentions. We first calculated the sum total area (length × height) of each box participants drew, and we thereby were able to calculate the proportion of total area participants assigned to each individual predictor (the situation, personality, desires and intentions, and past behavior). Consistent with our hypothesis, participants viewed their own desires and intentions as a stronger predictor of future behavior than others' desires and intentions. On average, they assigned more of the total predictive value to their desires and intentions (M = 36%) than to others' (M = 27%); F(1, 54) = 13.46, P = 0.0006. This difference was apparent for participants who predicted future Saturday night activities, F(1, 28) = 6.18, P = 0.02 (Fig. 2), and for those who predicted postcollege activities, F(1, 26) = 8.62, P = 0.007 (Fig. S1).
Notably, participants in general viewed their own desires and intentions as the strongest predictor of their behavior. They viewed it as a stronger predictor than personality, F(1, 56) = 32.24, P < 0.0001; the situation, F(1, 56) = 8.17, P = 0.006; or past behavior, F(1, 56) = 48.34, P < 0.0001. In the case of their roommates, by contrast, participants viewed personality as the strongest predictor, although their tendency to perceive it as more important than desires and intentions was not significant; F(1, 55) = 2.15, P = 0.15.
Finally, we examined self–other differences on each of our other predictor variables. Consistent with past research (26), participants viewed their own personality as a less strong predictor of future action than their roommate's personality (M = 21 vs. 32%); F(1, 54) = 24.42, P < 0.0001. They also tended toward viewing their own circumstances (or "situation") as a stronger predictor of action than their roommate's circumstances (M = 28 vs. 24%); F(1, 54) = 2.93, P = 0.09. Participants did not assign different predictive weight to their own vs. their roommate's past behavior (M = 15 vs. 17%); F(1, 54) = 1.25, NS.
In summary, participants showed a disconnect between the role that they believed ongoing intentions and desires played in determining their own vs. their roommate's future behavior. In the case of themselves, but not a roommate, participants viewed intentions and desires as the strongest determinant of their behavior and as a more important determinant than predetermined factors such as personality and past history.
This research supports the hypothesis that people perceive themselves as possessing more of the ingredients that constitute free will than those around them. Individuals in our experiments viewed their past and future behaviors as less predictable a priori than those of their peers (experiment 1), and they believed that, relative to their peers, there were more possible paths that their own lives could take (experiments 2 and 3). Moreover, this self–other asymmetry did not reflect a tendency for individuals to simply see their own lives as more guided by randomness. Our participants indicated that it was internal desires and intentions that best predicted their own (but not others') future behavior (experiment 4).
These results were not simply the product of privileged "Ivy Leaguers" viewing their futures as open to anything they might desire. College students and restaurant waiters alike indicated that their own futures contained more possible paths than those of others in their circumstances. Nor did the results simply reflect self-enhancement. Experiments 2 and 3 revealed that participants' claims of free will can be self-deprecating rather than enhancing. Participants in those studies did not claim more desirable futures than their peers, but rather more possibilities in those futures—whether those possibilities were to succeed or to fail. Experiment 4 ruled out the possibility that people see their futures as less predetermined simply because they see those futures as more dictated by randomness. In that study, participants indicated that it was internal desires and intentions that best predicted their behavior (as opposed to personality, situation, or past behavior).
Revisiting a Classic Bias.
This work has implications for the classic actor–observer bias. That bias often is conceptualized, in convenient shorthand, as the tendency for people to make situational attributions for their own actions and dispositional attributions for others' actions. Although this conceptualization is catchy, it provides an incomplete picture of the true actor–observer bias. It suggests that people view themselves as simply blown about by the situational wind. A more nuanced view, and one supported by the present results, is that people view their actions not as driven by the situation in an automatic or stimulus–response fashion (a view that would negate the possibility of free will), but rather that they view their actions as actively chosen responses to the situation (a view completely consistent with free will).
A recent metaanalysis by Malle (27) defined the actor–observer bias as the tendency for people to view their own actions as externally determined but others' actions as internally generated, and it found little support for the bias when defined in that way. The present results suggest that the actor–observer bias indeed exists, but that it is more complicated than this definition. Past findings have already hinted at this. For example, people avoid characterizing their behavior in terms of one of two opposing internal traits (e.g., "lenient" vs. "firm") if they are given the option to say it "depends on the situation," whereas they readily choose a trait for others (26); however, people do not prefer the depends-on-the-situation option for themselves when they are permitted to pick both opposing internal traits (e.g., lenient and firm) (28). This pair of findings suggests that people view their own behavior as caused by something internal to them, rather than external, but they view that internal cause as a fluid response to circumstances rather than a fixed response pattern.
A more nuanced view of the actor–observer bias not only offers to enrich our understanding of the classic bias, but it also helps to account for various everyday observations and empirical results. For example, past research suggests that people avoid explaining their actions in terms of situational factors that operate nonconsciously (e.g., ref. 29). The conceptualization of the actor–observer bias that we offer suggests that actors focus on the motives, desires, and intentions that they have in response to ongoing circumstances and that, as a result, they are only prone to making "situational" attributions when they feel that they have consciously responded to the situation (and not when the situation exerts its effects nonvolitionally or nonconsciously). More generally, we suggest, this conceptualization brings the actor–observer bias in line with the everyday observation that people tend not to view their own behaviors as affected by situational cues that elude conscious awareness.
The present experiments suggest that people, on the whole, believe that their own lives are more guided by free will than others' lives. Certain individuals and groups of people may hold this belief particularly strongly, and others may hold it weakly or even not at all. Culture influences people's tendency to view others' actions as caused by internal factors—with individuals from individualistically oriented cultures, such as the United States and Western Europe, emphasizing internal factors more than individuals from collectivistically oriented cultures, such as China, India, and Japan (30–32). This raises the question of whether our results would be replicated in those cultures. It is also possible that the effect would be stronger in collectivistic cultures, as those individuals are especially attuned to the contextual factors that seem to control others' behavior. Although additional research would be needed to resolve this question, the self–other difference in perception of free will might be expected to appear cross-culturally to the extent that individuals across cultures are persuaded by their own experience of intending things before doing those things.
Age is another variable that might influence people's perception of the operation of free will in their lives. As people advance from youth and middle age to old age, the way in which they think about problems involving other people (namely, conflicts between people and groups) shifts such that they are more likely to acknowledge uncertainty and recognize multiple perspectives (33). This raises the interesting question of whether people's beliefs about free will shift over time, as people become more aware of the range of possibilities in others' (and perhaps their own) decisions and actions.
The present results and this view of the actor–observer bias are consistent with research on the introspection illusion (18, 34, 35), which entails people's tendency to view their own motives, intentions, and desires as the key to understanding their actions (a tendency not shown in the case of others). People have rich introspective access to the conflicting desires, complex thoughts, and impinging circumstances that precede their actions (but not others' actions), and this may contribute to their heightened sense of freely choosing those actions. This raises the possibility that hearing about others' mental wavering and mixed emotions will make others' actions seem more freely willed, although this possibility may be diminished by people's general lack of faith in the probative value of others' mental reports (18, 34, 35).
Philosophers have long speculated that the introspective feeling of free will provides the force behind people's belief in it (20). By placing heavy weight on our own introspections (but not those of others), we may find ourselves uniquely convinced of our own free will. In some ways, this conviction is likely to be liberating—endowing us with a greater feeling of power in our lives. Future studies should investigate other effects of this belief. For one, does people's tendency to view their outcomes as more freely willed than others' lead them to feel guiltier when things go wrong? At first, this may seem to contradict the observation that malefactors often see themselves as less blameworthy than others see them. However, the present theorizing suggests that those denials of blameworthiness are most common for unintended wrongdoings (which may feel less freely willed due to the absence of relevant prior thoughts). Another possible effect: To the extent that people can imagine multiple possible paths not only in their futures but also in their pasts (as suggested by experiment 1), they may be particularly prone to ruminating over what "could have been" and what they should have done differently.
This article is concerned with perceptions of free will, rather than with its objective existence. However, it is difficult not to wonder whether our results reveal that people incorrectly inflate their own free will or incorrectly deflate the free will of those around them. This question cannot be answered here, as it is bound up in the larger, unsolved mystery of whether free will exists. That mystery is likely to continue causing endless debate—debate in which we perceive two clashing views of free will: the view we have of ourselves and the view we have of others.
Experiment 1.
Participants and design.
Fifty Princeton University juniors and seniors received candy for completing one of two versions (self or other) of a questionnaire.
Procedure and materials.
Participants who completed the self version of the questionnaire were asked to indicate the degree to which certain past and future events in their lives could have been predicted a priori. The past events were: their decision to attend Princeton, the demise of their last romantic relationship, and their choice of major. The future events were: their ultimate career path, the specific person they would marry, and the part of the country where they would live after graduation. For example, participants were asked: "Think about your choice of what to major in. How easy would it have been to predict that you would end up choosing that major?" (1 = not at all predictable, 7 = extremely predictable). Participants who completed the "other" version of the questionnaire were asked to indicate the initials of their roommate and to indicate the predictability of these same events for that roommate.
Experiment 2.
Participants and design.
Twenty-eight employees of two Italian restaurants in Princeton, New Jersey volunteered to participate by responding to a series of questions about themselves and a coworker, with order counterbalanced.
Procedure and materials.
Participants' questionnaires posed a series of questions about themselves and a coworker of their choice whom they knew "reasonably well." For each question, participants were asked to think about what they (or their coworker) would be doing over the next 10 y, and they were provided with a list of seven possibilities. From that list, they were asked to circle all of the options that they viewed as "genuine possibilities." The first question involved places where one might live. Participants were instructed: "Of the following places, please circle all the ones that are genuine possibilities for where [you/your coworker] might live at some point in the next 10 years." The possibilities included: the house/apartment [I am/he or she is] living in right now; another house/apartment in the same town; another state in the Northeast; the West Coast; the Midwest; the South; or abroad. The second question concerned "genuine possibilities for what [your/his or her] job might be at some point in the next 10 years" (same exact job as right now; same job, but working for a different employer; same employer, but different job; a job that makes a lot more money; a job that is a lot more interesting; a job that has been a life-long dream; or no job: retired, unemployed, or hanging out). The third question concerned "genuine possibilities for what [your/his or her] life might be like at some point in the next 10 years" (same lifestyle as right now; more fun-loving lifestyle; more career-focused lifestyle; more family-focused lifestyle; more adventurous lifestyle; more conservative lifestyle; more relaxed and calm lifestyle).
Experiment 3.
Participants and design.
Fifty Princeton undergraduates received candy for completing one of two versions (self, or other) of a questionnaire.
Procedure and materials.
Participants were randomly assigned to make predictions for the postgraduation lives of either themselves or another person (a friend of their choosing). They were presented with 11 questions asking about different life domains such as career, romance, and social life. For each question, they were asked to circle which of three response options best captured the "genuine possibilities" for what might happen "during the year after graduation." One option was always desirable, one undesirable, and one simply the conjunction of the other two (it stated: Both are possible). The desirable and undesirable options were pretested with two undergraduate raters who unanimously rated each of the items as desirable (or undesirable). Sample items were: have an exciting job (have a boring job); live in a really nice apartment or house (live in a really crappy apartment or house); end up in a top graduate program (end up in a mediocre graduate program); and do something useful (waste some time).
Experiment 4.
Participants and design.
Fifty-eight Princeton undergraduates received candy for drawing box models depicting the behavior of themselves and of a roommate.
Procedure and materials.
To familiarize participants with their experimental task, they first were told that there are "models for predicting all sorts of things" and that these models generally "include a number of different factors that are believed to predict an outcome, and they assign different values to those factors depending on how important each one is thought to be." Participants then were shown an example of a box model for predicting the price of corn on the basis of three factors (with the importance of each factor indicated by the size of its box; Fig. S2). Next, they were asked to draw two of their own models. They either were asked to draw a model for predicting their own behavior on "a particular Saturday night" and their roommate's behavior on one, or they were asked to draw models predicting what they (and their roommate) would do "after finishing college." For each model, they were instructed to include four predictors: the situation, personality, desires and intentions, and past behavior. They were instructed to draw a box for each of the four predictors, with the size of each box indicating its predictive importance and with arrows from each box (situation, personality, etc.) pointing to the outcome they were predicting (e.g., What I will do on a particular Saturday night). They were furnished with pieces of graph paper for drawing their models. Our dependent measure involved the relative sizes of the different boxes that they drew.

A Cruise About The Gorgeous Islands Of Palawan

General, Celebrity Reflection won the best cruise ship in the huge category Oceania Cruises' Riviera took the crown from its mid-size rivals and Viking Star was named leading of the little-sized vessels. Crew members are a tremendous resource. If you loved this information in addition to you would like to acquire more details regarding Click Through The Up Coming Web Page (Turkeytrip66.Databasblog.Cc) generously go to our own page. They've been the ports dozens of occasions, click through the up coming web page know all the best spots when you get ashore, know the boat intimately, and have fantastic travel insights. Choose their brains for ideas.Dishman told CBC Radio's The Present that her assailant forced his way into her cabin right after accosting her in a shipboard bar. We have had a book on the cruise we have been on, and left messages for our family members, and the group we were staying with. We would write Gone to the pool, click through the up coming web page meet us at 7pm for dinner" so we could have some loved ones time.There are numerous choices for shore excursions and your initial step will be to determine if you're going to book through the ship or handle the excursion on your personal — either after you disembark or in advance by means of a third party. Maintain in mind that booking with the ship implies you are promised a certain level of security and organization, as properly as the assure that you are going to make it back to the ship on time. For families with young children, I highly suggest booking shore excursions straight with the cruise line. You'll save funds managing it on your personal, but you also take on some added risks.Guests in concierge staterooms and suites can order dinner from the rotation restaurants throughout typical dinner hours. Ask your concierge staff for a menu. All courses of your meal are brought at once, which doesn't do excellent factors for the quality of the meal, but it's nonetheless better than the regular space service offerings. Concierge level guests can order hot breakfasts in their suites and staterooms during the cruise.Despite these accidents, drownings aboard ships are uncommon, and pool-related incidents are uncommon, said Colleen McDaniel, the senior executive editor at Cruise Critic, a cruise reviews and details internet site. But Ms. McDaniel and other travel experts said the drowning on Anthem of the Seas reinforces the need for travelers to hold safety measures in thoughts when they are on a cruise.Cruise ships are also very attentive to meals allergies. In most circumstances, guests can alert the ship about any specific intolerances properly ahead of the sailing, so that dietary restrictions can be accommodated as soon as they arrive. Just to be doubly positive, waitstaff will likely also confirm if there are any allergies that they require to be conscious of at mealtimes. These who are gluten-cost-free, lactose intolerant, and so on are often produced to really feel welcome onboard.Just before becoming travel editor, where most of the news - thank goodness - is about happy men and women going on good vacations, Beth covered politics, disasters and all manner of mayhem for the AP. And not to reveal her age, but she also worked for a number of newspapers way back in the 20th century and even wrote three books.Cruise spas will offer you information sessions on therapies and procedures made to sell cruise passengers on a therapy. If you are at all interested, definitely go to these sessions. Not only do they occasionally provide coupons to guests, but they will often choose volunteers to act as guinea pigs for the procedures. If you are picked, it's a very good way to get a totally free treatment.Taking a lengthy-tail boat from the nearby town of Nyaung Shwe gives a serene view of the mirror-flat waters of Myanmar's Inlé Lake. A protected wildlife zone, the marshy shores are residence to a assortment of birds, and a ban on new hotels in the region allows the lakeside villages to stay peaceful and authentic. Cruise around the expansive waters and charming stilt villages, stopping off at Phaung Daw Oo pagoda with its gold-covered Buddha statues, or visit a floating market or workshop demonstrating neighborhood crafts like weaving and boat developing. Remain till sunset to see the Intha fisherman at perform displaying their distinctive a single-legged rowing approach. Carnival's horizon and vista ships have an 800-foot sky ride outdoor exciting sport. All you need is to be above 54 inches tall and less or equal to 300pounds in maximum weight to ride it. It will give you a flying experience, and a very good view of surrounding sceneries.There are few subjects much more most likely to raise the hackles of cruisers than tips for the crew. Leaving gratuities is an end-of-cruise custom that has been going on as long as any person can remember. For an equally extended time, passengers have been attempting to find approaches to avoid it.Every single single cruise port from Skagway to St. Lucia looks specifically the same. Jewelry shops. Low cost T-shirt stands. Dudes with plastic cards supplying to take you someplace you cannot pronounce. And rarely are they the nicest, or most intriguing portion of the city. Granted, occasionally you have limited time in a port of contact, and going on an eight-hour volcano hike just is not in the cards. But do a little investigation just before you go on what there is to see beyond the usual tourist traps, and you are going to get a lot far more out of your cruise trip than tacky souvenirs.

The Relationship between Parental Treatment Styles and Early Discovery of Learning Difficulties among Pre-school Children
This study aimed to explore the relationship between the parenting style and discovery of learning disabilities in early childhood education. The study used a sample of Egyptian parents to investigate the parenting style followed in the family. Also, the study investigated the family awareness and interest in the discovery and treatment of learning difficulties. The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between parenting style and discovery of child's learning difficulties in the early stages. The results also showed that there was a significant relationship between positive parenting styles and discovering of learning difficulties. However, there was a negative relationship between negative parenting styles and discovery of learning difficulties in early childhood. The study recommended the need to provide appropriate training and guidance programs of positive parenting and avoid the negative methods of raising children.

Alok Nath and Vinta Nanda's case has been ongoing in the court after Nanda pressed serious allegations of rape against the veteran television actor. First, he dodged the matter and was not available for police questioning citing the reason of ill health and shock. Now, he has been forced to follow legal proceedings in the matter as Nanda along with her lawyer are pursuing this matter dedicatedly. In the latest hearing, Alok Nath's lawyer DN Goburdhun refuted the claims and said that Vinta was just another delusional complainant who had 'imagined' this whole thing. The lawyer also went ahead and made claims like she was interested in a romantic relationship with Alok Nath and tried to create rift between him and his wife.
He also said that Alok was forced to shoot a kissing scene by Vinta while his wife was not in favour of it. Alok Nath's lawyer further said that Vinta Nanda was not even present when the proceedings against Nath were on after her complaint and said that he was instead seen attending police complaints. Mr. Goburdhun went ahead and even claimed that Vinta drank and did drugs, even had relationships with married men. Her lawyer strongly objected this and claimed that this was all just character assassination.
The issue has not yet died down as Vinta's fight is still on in this matter. The next hearing is on Monday. Vinta had registered a rape case against the actor by the Mumbai Police on November 21. This was after Vinta exposed Alok Nath and accused him of repeated sexual harassment and even rape.

The Novi Sad Agreement was an attempt by 25 Serbian, Croatian and Montenegrin writers, linguists and intellectuals to build unity across the ethnic and linguistic divisions within Yugoslavia, and create the Serbo-Croatian language standard.
Sponsored by the Serbian cultural organization's journal ''Letopis Matice srpske'' editorial board, talks on the use and acceptability of the Serbian, which uses Cyrillic and is centered on the city of Belgrade (known as the eastern variety of Serbo-Croat) and Croatian (which uses the Latin script, centered on the city of Zagreb, and is known as the western variety of Serbo-Croat) took place in the city of Novi Sad, in the Serbian province of Vojvodina. Two days of discussion from 8 through 10 December 1954, resulted in the signing of the agreement, which laid out ten resolutions regarding the languages and their relations to one another.
The agreement focused on the similarities between the two dialects, and was primarily concerned with reconciling the different dialects for the benefit of a federal Yugoslavia. The agreement stated that groups of linguists and intellectuals from both the eastern Serbian variant and the western Croat variant, would work together towards establishing a single dictionary and terminology.
Ironically the agreement also stated that the future language should develop naturally, although it was being forged by the force of political will and pressure from both dialects.
The new terminology and dictionary would have its roots in both languages, and the literary journal present at the agreement would have the same content published in both Cyrillic Serbian and Roman Croatian.
However, many, such as Croatian intellectual Ljudevit Jonke, viewed the agreement as a veiled attempt to have Serbian become the official language of a Federal Yugoslavia, and to wipe out other languages such as Dalmatian, with only a passing nod given to Croat.
As a direct result of the agreement, ''Matica srpska'' and its Croatian counterpart ''Matica hrvatska'' published an orthography manual in 1960. Although widely praised by all levels of Serbian and Yugoslav party officials and intellectuals, the orthography was roundly criticized by Croatian intellectuals, who saw the work as too Serb-centric. Their criticisms stemmed mainly from an analysis of the case of larger differences between the two languages, claiming that the dictionary favored the eastern variant of the language over the Croatian.
== The text of the Novi Sad Agreement ==
The ten "Conclusions", or ''zaključci''
# Serbs, Croats and Montenegrins share a single language with two equal variants that have developed around Zagreb (western) and Belgrade (eastern).
# Officially, the name of the language must make reference to its two constituent parts (i.e. both "Serbian" and "Croatian")
# The Roman and Cyrillic scripts have equal status and Serbs and Croats are expected to learn both alphabets in school.
# The two accents—ijekavian and ekavian—have equal status in all respects.
# The Matica srpska will cooperate with the Matica hrvatska in the production of a new dictionary of the joint language.
# Work will proceed on the establishment of a common terminology for all spheres of economic, scholarly, and cultural life.
# Both sides will cooperate in the compiling of a joint orthographic manual (''pravopis'').
# Care must be given to the natural development of Croato-Serbian, and no longer should texts be altered from one variant to another.
# The composition of a Commission from the ''pravopis'' and terminology will be decided by universities in Zagreb, Belgrade, and Sarajevo, the Academies in Zagreb and Belgrade, ''Matica hrvatska'', and ''Matica srpska''.

Police believe they will make an arrest within a year over the brutal, execution-style killing of Upper Hutt woman Lois Tolley.
Nearly two years ago to the day, four people violently smashed their way into the 30-year-old's home.
Sitting alone in her lounge, Tolley desperately tried to escape. But she had no chance of defending herself against her attackers.
During her bid to get away, she was stabbed and shot at point-blank and left dead on the floor.
Now, police have revealed new evidence which may lead them to Tolley's killers.
Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Barnett, the officer in charge of the subsequent homicide investigation, said evidence collected since Lois' death has confirmed that Tolley was targeted that night by her killers.
"Lois' killing was an absolutely tragic and senseless crime," says DSS Barnett.
"Sadly, Lois had become involved in the Upper Hutt drug scene and her death appears to have been connected to that world."
Barnett said police were not sure whether she was dealing drugs, but that they were found in her home.
"We believe that the four people who came to her home that night were attempting to carry out some form of 'taxing' or debt collection, or that they were looking for drugs/cash for their own use.
"In the moments after the four attackers smashed their way into her home, Lois was left dead, neighbours were threatened, and drugs and cash were left behind."
Police have spoken to many people during the investigation, including hardened criminals and gang members.
On the night of the attack, police say one of the attackers appears to have shown remorse, allegedly shouting "what have we done?" before the four ran into the dark of the night, never to be seen again.
"Lois was no threat to anyone, and even the most hardened criminals and gang members have said her death was a cowardly act and completely unnecessary," said Barnett.
Police have spoken to more than 130 people of interest over the past two years, with new names popping up and old names eliminated from the investigation altogether.
But now investigations have taken police across the Tasman to Australia where they have talked at length to associates of Tolley's attackers.
"The inquiry team has spoken directly to close associates of the four individuals involved," said Barnett.
"They have told us that they know what happened and who the attackers are.
"While some of these associates are unwilling to provide formal statements, there are some who have provided formal statements, allowing us to build a solid group of witnesses who are signed up to give evidence when we're able to bring the case to court.
"We know that as well as the four individuals directly involved in the events at Lois' home that night, there are others who were involved either directly before or after her murder. We also believe that there are others who have information which could help us close this case, who have not yet spoken to us.
"There are a number of people who are nervous about speaking to police or providing us with a formal statement, for any number of reasons.
"It could be that they are in a difficult position due to perceived loyalties to those involved. Or they may just not like police.
"To those people, I would urge them look past their nerves or antipathy to police."
Barnett said on Newstalk ZB this morning that police were confident they would be making an arrest in the case, and that it would be within a year.
Operation commander Detective Inspector Scott Miller said six people had been interviewed in Australia, including a man and woman of interest - one of whom was a witness.
"A number of people of interest went overseas either soon after the murder, or after they were spoken to by police.
"A number of those people have been spoken to by Australian police, and members of the Operation Archer investigation team have travelled overseas for interviews.
"Some very interesting information has been gained as a result of these overseas inquiries.
"All those involved should know that it is only a matter of time before we knock on their door.
"It might not be today, and it might not be tomorrow, but I remain confident that we will get the evidence we need to charge those involved in Lois' death."
Two years on, Tolley's family have more questions than answers - their pain and suffering ongoing.
While police tighten the noose on Tolley's killer, her mother Cathrine MacDonald said the pain will always be there, even if her killers are caught.
"It is two years and it just feels like yesterday," MacDonald said.
"The pain and suffering does not stop for Loie's family and friends.
"I just want to put my arms around her and never let her go.
"They stole her future away from her and have devastated ours.
"It is so hard not hearing her voice and seeing her beautiful smile.
"We know that Loie was not perfect – nobody is – but Loie was our perfect."
Anyone who has information that could assist the investigation into Lois' death is urged to contact the Operation Archer team at Lower Hutt Police Station on 04 560 2600.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A very tough task was set this week by Julia at Julia's Place. One that I am sure has worried a lot of people because we bloggers like to be nice to everyone. We don't want to lose "friends" by being derogative, disagree with what has been written or critical. In fact Him Up North posted a brilliant piece this week which examines that perfectly. It is easier to not leave a comment if we disagree rather than leave a controversial comment. That takes a brave and very self-confident person.
What was the task you ask?
This week, we were told we are to be critics and choose a piece from last weeks 100 Word Challenge and write a critique of it. It is not easy to take someone's carefully and thoughtful written piece and give it a critical review. Initially the thought of a critique is that it should contain an element of fault and negative judgement but in truth it should also award recognition.
This particular post may not, perhaps, be interesting to my blog followers who are hoping for something about the garden or photographs. However, it is good for me because it tests not only creative writing but also an ability to give a fair analysis of something that has been written by someone else.
I chose the 100 WCGU called Acceptance Speech written by Sally-Jayne at sjbWriting.wordpress.com.
Deep breath and here we go…….
To be able to say "I told you so" is a great satisfaction in life.
This vignette in only 105 words gives a great insight into what the character is thinking. How often do we all wish we could go back to our teachers who told us we would amount to nothing and put them right?
Sally-Jayne didn't fall into the trap of using the 5 prompts in the order they were given. She managed to write a clever story by sensibly rearranging the words.
We know how thank you Oscar speeches ramble on and it was an inspired last sentence.

LowPings: "The latest patch might have added some beautifully free maps (thanks nVidia, it's nice to get 1% of the money I've given you over the years back in trade!). The new kill cam might let 360 players know what it's like to be nothing but a helpless human grenade that only kills people by dying (though with Martyr, most of them know that already). But a number of urgent PC flaws remain unaddressed..."
i really dont see why he's complaining, PC owners the free maps, and they dont have to deal with the connectivity issues that console gamers have, not to mention all those problems mentioned are also problems of the PS3 and 360 versions
For one. I cant count how many times Ive had my sight on an enemy while I was sniping and the bullet wouldnt register. Ive even had my girlfriend take video of it a couple of times. Its pretty ridiculous how a bullet goes right through enemies as much as it happens. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just once in a while but its just too much to ignore.
Also, COD4 is the most played game on the ps3. I cant believe Infintiy Ward doesn't deem it necassary to patch in rumble even though millions of people demand it. Whats up with you Infinty Ward? Can you take microsofts c*ck out of your face for a sec to patch it? It could have been done months ago. I hate you people. All of you that cater to one consumer and not the other. My money is just as good as anyone else's.
Bare Bones will take care of those martyrs and 3x fraggers.
its the grenade spamming that makes cod4 unplayable a friend was showing me it online, he would spam grenades at the beginning of a map to get kills.
I never bought the game and to this day i will not til i hear that it was fixed (aka not giving everyone the ability to throw grenades beyond human means)

Atlanta police arrest suspected car thieves
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Atlanta Police arrested three teens for breaking into seven cars on the 300 block of Stovall Street in southeast Atlanta Thursday.
A resident at the apartment complex called 911 around 1 a.m. after spotting a group of teens breaking into cars inside the complex parking garage. When police arrived, they were able to trap the thieves' cars inside the parking garage by blocking the exit to the parking garage.
Officers located three teen males hiding inside two cars. The Atlanta Police Department said the two cars were stolen from Gwinnett County.
A fourth teen male suspect did escape, and police are currently searching for him.
Police said items were stolen from the seven cars, but officers were able to recover the items.

Things to do
Lower Granite Falls Backcountry Campsite is a two-site camping area along Tonahutu Creek about 0.1 miles west of Granite Falls, a 50-foot slide waterfall that tumbles down steep slabs into a pool. The two sites lie in pine and spruce forest between Tonahutu Creek Trail and the creek east of Big Meadows in western Rocky Mountain National Park. This is a good campsite if you're exploring farther up Tonahutu Creek, fishing at Haynach Lakes, or climbing Nakai Peak or Sprague Mountains. The sites, located at 9,760 feet, are 5.1 miles from Green Mountain Trailhead and 7.7 miles from Tonahutu Trailhead on U.S. 34. Allow up to five hours to hike from Green Mountain Trailhead, gaining 960 feet of elevation. No privy is at the site so practice proper sanitation by bringing wag bags. Get water from the nearby creek, but treat or boil before use. The campsite is snow-free by June 23.
Pro Tips
- Find Green Mountain Trailhead by driving north from Kawuneeche Visitor Center on U.S. 34/Trail Ridge Road for 3.1 miles to a parking lot and trailhead on the right or east side of the highway. The 5.1-mile hike heads up Green Mountain Trail to a junction with Tonahutu Creek Trail. Go left and hike through Big Meadows then up the creek to the campsite. A wooden sign on the right marks a short path to the campsite. Alternatively, hike 7.7 miles up Tonahutu Creek Trail from Tonahutu Trailhead on U.S. 34.
- A backcountry permit is required for all overnight camping in Rocky Mountain National Park's backcountry. Get permits at the Park Headquarters Backcountry Office next to Beaver Meadows Visitor Center west of Estes Park, at Kawuneeche Visitor Center north of Grand Lake, or at the park website.
- You agree to obey National Park regulations for backcountry camping when you get a Backcountry Use Permit. The permit must be with you at all times and a tent tag must be displayed on your pack while hiking and on your tent. You must follow your planned itinerary so campsites aren't overused or crowded. You also receive a tag to place on the dashboard of your vehicle, allowing overnight parking at trailheads without being towed.
- Practice a Leave No Trace ethic when camping at Lower Granite Falls. Pitch tents in designated areas near a silver arrowhead. Secure food and garbage. Store food in a bear-resistant canister, which is required from May to October at all campsites below timberline. Keep food, trash, and scented items in the container and stash it 200 feet from your site. Don't camp below dead trees; wind storms blow branches off them.
- There's no privy at the campsite. Bring at least two RESTOP wag bags for human waste to avoid site contamination. In an emergency, dig a six-inch deep hole and bury waste and toilet paper. Make sure you're at least 200 feet from the campsite, water sources, and trails.
Recommended season(s): Late June through September.

Advisable Do's on Working From Home
There are now a lot of ways to work even from the comforts of your own home made possible by the internet. From twenty years ago, people were not aware that working at home will be doable with the help of the internet. Even businesses are booming at high rates because of what the internet can do.
Yes, being able to work from home is possible. Actually, a lot of people left their office jobs in exchange for a work from home. You might question if real money is involved here. And to answer that, yes. And a couple of it will be mentioned below.
Because of last year's low economic activity, some businesses were put into time-out. The results of this happening was that bills were piling up. There was no income coming in to save their large bills. It did not only affect hundreds but imagine millions. Must have been really hard on them, but at least it became a learning experience.
It is advisable to make use of a substitute job in cases of worse comes to worst scenarios.
The internet offers a wide range of jobs that can be a source for your alternative income. There is currently a tremendous number of people fascinated by the ways of earning online. Earning is boundless because there is a lot of job chances that are open. The greatest part about it? It's open for everyone. Yes, I mean everyone. There will sure be a job that will best fit your capabilities.
Some well known brands started with online businesses before going out and becoming very successful in their respective fields. These large brands were one of the reasons why many women were able to earn even in their free time. But, some marketing styles were not able to make it to the top. Over the past twenty years, MLMs consistently achieve negative reviews and unsound business practice. The most important thing to remember is to choose a strategy that is already established.
Yet, if you don't possess the talent of appealing to consumers, why not try being the buyer for the products. Another thing is franchising. Don't worry about the how to's because the owners will help you with this. While this is not really a working from home business, when it comes to the earning it will most likely be the same. Anyway, all of it will still help you with earning alternatively.
If you are already decided, start off with creating a site. Remember to make a web site that is one of a kind because surely, other people will also be offering the services you ought to give.
Also, make sure your site will be up to date. The articles should call on your viewers and urge them to do what you want them to do.

Saving the world app by app..

A recent discussion around apps that may help solve, or at least partially solve, social, health or environmental issues got me thinking.

text: Entertainment X Factor: All The Pics By Glamour 16 Aug 2012 The best looks from the show's judges and guests X Factor Press Conference Tulisa never does her fashion half-heartedly and she turned up to the X Factor press conference in this graduated bandeau dress. X Factor Press Conference Jessie J turned up to the X Factor press conference in these unbelievably skinny jeans and a purple animal print jacket. If she was going for super-sexy, she got it spot on. X Factor Press Conference Caroline Flack made her sunny, new locks really stand out with this Peter Pan-collared black dress. X Factor Press Conference Nicole Scherzinger launched her X Factor career with a sassy little white dress. Newcastle Auditions Here they are! The new (and hopefully permanent) X Factor judges: Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Tulisa and Nicole Scherzinger. Newcastle Auditions Nicole Scherzinger made her debut as a permanent X Factor judge in Newcastle wearing this gauzy, asymmetric dress. "I'm so excited to join the UK X Factor family. It's where I got my start, so it feels great to come full circle," she said of her appointment, which is rumoured to be earning her £750k over the course of the series. Newcastle Auditions Tulisa wasn't about to be out-done by new judge Nicole Scherzinger. The singer took a break from pretty prom dresses to wear this diagonally striped midi length dress in Newcastle. Newcastle Auditions Caroline Flack was in her trademark shorts as she returned to her hotel in Newcastle following the city's X Factor auditions. Newcastle Auditions But apparently the wedges got a bit much for the presenter and she was later spotted walking to her hotel barefooted. Newcastle Auditions Following the excitement of the Jubilee celebrations and his consequent OBE, Gary Barlow got back to the day job, looking casual in this linen jacket and T-shirt. Glasgow Auditions Best pals Tulisa and Anastacia cosied up in Glasgow. The Outta Love singer was the show's guest judge for the Scottish leg of the audition process. Manchester Auditions Gary Barlow looked the perfect mix of smart and casual at The X Factor auditions in Manchester. The Take That star managed to balance being a judge on the show with his work on the Queen's Jubilee concert in June. Manchester Auditions Guest judge Mel B showed her dedication to the show, flashing fans and photographers the "X" sign at the Manchester auditions in June. The former Spice Girl decided against her trademark animal print and opted for green khaki with gold accessories, including a rather fabulous Hermès belt. Manchester Auditions Tulisa gave her floral prom dress a bit of an edge at the Manchester auditions, wearing a matte leather jacket to counter-balance that pretty bow in her hair. London Auditions Chart topper - and Jay-Z's protégé - Rita Ora wowed at the auditions at the O2 Arena in London with her confident and flirtatious judging style. Ora told one hopeful: "I think you're really good looking, so it's a yes from me!" Speaking to Digital Spy, one X Factor insider said: "Rita fitted in brilliantly on the panel and was a natural. She had great chemistry with Gary and Louis and she was feisty enough to keep up with Tulisa." London Auditions Another floral prom dress with edgy accessories from Tulisa. This time, it's in London. The star completed her look with a fierce pair of booties. London Auditions Gary Barlow looked dapper in his tangerine-inspired trousers and blazer ensemble, as he braved The X Factor audition crowds in London. Is this Gary's best look yet? London Auditions Tulisa looked happy (and very cute in her Felder Felder dress) as she arrived at the 02 Arena for The X Factor auditions. Talking about guest judge Rita Ora, Tulisa said: "Rita is great for the panel. Despite only breaking the commercial scene recently, Rita has been in the industry for years and knows what she is talking about." Liverpool Auditions Geri Halliwell obviously wanted to make an impression as she took a guest judge spot in May – so wore a backless, blue dress with cream ankle boots. Shame she's also showing off her mic in this pic too! Liverpool Auditions Tulisa turned to one of her favourite high street brands, Lipsy, for this bright floral number, but gave it her own personal styling touch with a chunky studded belt. Liverpool Auditions Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack negotiated the unpredictable British summer with this floral skirt and tucked-in sleeveless blouse. Note her sweet multi-coloured nails – a great way to cheer up an outfit! Liverpool Auditions Gary Barlow looked delighted to be in Liverpool, where the first round of X Factor auditions kicked off. Gary - who joined the judging panel on the programme last year - said in an interview that he enjoys the preliminary rounds, explaining: "[They're] the most fun bit actually, with all the weirdos. It's great." Liverpool Auditions Dermot O'Leary looked chirpy as auditions for the upcoming series of X Factor kicked off. X Factor boss Simon Cowell said: "Dermot has done a brilliant job for the past five years - he is Mr X Factor!" Praise indeed. Liverpool Auditions Not bad for her first day back at work, eh? Lucky Caroline Flack was spotted filming with a tribute Beatles band, and looked as if she was having a whale of a time. X Factor judge Gary Barlow later tweeted: "YES @ollyofficial and @carolineflack1 are back!! Love em #result [sic]". Aw!
