36Magnetic susceptibility — In electromagnetism, the magnetic susceptibility χm (latin: susceptibilis “receptiveness”) is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. A related… …
37Differential susceptibility hypothesis — According to the differential susceptibility hypothesis by Belsky[1] individuals vary in the degree they are affected by experiences or qualities of the environment they are exposed to. Some individuals are more susceptible to such influences… …
38Electric susceptibility — The electric susceptibility χe of a dielectric material is a measure of how easily it polarizes in response to an electric field. This, in turn, determines the electric permittivity of the material and thus influences many other phenomena in that …
