A two-dimensional model is developed for the heat transfer in a magneto-resistive (MR) head-air bearing system. Using this model, the MR head temperature response is studied for various cases. It is found that the temperature in the head depends on the current through it and the change is only significant within a small area around the MR transducer at the trailing edge. With a typical current value (say 13 mA), the MR head temperature is about 25°C higher than the ambient temperature. When the slider flies over an asperity without contact, the MR temperature fluctuation follows that of the air bearing spacing, which is caused by the cooling effect of the air bearing.

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).
