Abstract Probiotics have been proposed to ameliorate cognitive impairment and depressive disorder via the gut–brain axis in patients experimental animal models. However, beneficial role of probiotics brain functions healthy older adults remains unclear. Therefore, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial was conducted determine effects on cognition mood community-dwelling adults. Sixty-three elders (≥65 years) consumed either placebo or containing Bifidobacterium...
In this study, the authors tested four cultural models—independence, interdependence, conflict, and integration—that describe hypothesized relationships between dimensions of self-construal components subjective well-being among individualistic collectivistic countries. Collectivistic countries that have undergone rapid socioeconomic changes (i.e., East Asian countries) those with limited African were differentiated. Participants 791 university students from Western countries, 749 three 443...
Dark chocolate has long been recognized for its mood-altering properties; however, the evidence regarding emotional effects of daily dark intake is limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate on mood in everyday life, with special emphasis gut-brain axis. Two different chocolates (85% and 70% cocoa content) were tested this study. In a randomized controlled trial, healthy adults (20–30 y) consumed either 30 g/d 85% (DC85, n=18); (DC70, n=16); or no (control group, CON; n=14); 3 weeks. Mood...
Abstract Gut microbiota is suggested to regulate the host’s mental health via gut-brain axis. In this study, we investigated relationship between microbiome and psychological pain due social exclusion. Adult individuals with ( n = 14) without 25) exclusion experience were assessed for status using self-reported questionnaires: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Depression Inventory, UCLA Loneliness Scale. The gut was analyzed by 16 S rRNA gene sequencing bioinformatics. group had a 1.70-fold...
Abstract This article presents conceptual arguments and empirical evidence consistent with a unified conception of human judgment. It identifies several continuous parameters which intersections at specific values determine the judgmental impact information given. The unimodel serves as an overarching framework subsuming plethora theoretical notions findings related to binary distinctions between associative versus rule based, automatic deliberative, intuitive rational, heuristic systematic,...
This research examines the possibility that people's choices in service of an explicit focal goal may also reflect their tendency to fulfill implicit background goals and sense are multifinal. We carried out 5 experimental studies investigate this notion. In Experiment 1, a primed affected individuals' even when those avowedly served "focal" goal. 2 replicated finding with different type goals. 3 found had no effect on where options them undermined 4 by multifinal option does not privilege...
Abstract Purpose We aimed to investigate the link of vitamin C status with vitality and psychological functions in a cross-sectional study, examine their causal relationship through randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods first conducted population-based investigation healthy young adults ( n = 214, 20–39 years), analyzed associations serum concentrations (fatigue attention) mood (stress, depression, positive negative affect) using Pearson’s correlation multiple linear regression...
We investigated the effects of pectin, a soluble dietary fiber, on functional and morphological parameters small intestine in rats. A control group pectin-fed were given fiber-free elemental liquid diet an containing 2.5% (w/w) respectively, for 2 weeks. The ileal mucosal specific activities maltase, sucrase alkaline phosphatase increased significantly group. Maltose absorption ileum, studied vitro by method everted sacs disaccharide-dependent potential difference, length as well villus...
This article addresses the process that governs use of base-rate and individuating information. Five experiments demonstrated that, for both, informational length order presentation (determining processing difficulty) interact with recipients' resources to determine use. In cases in which or information is brief and/or presented early, tendency it greater under limited cognitive (cognitive load) than ample resources. contrast, lengthy late sequence, versus These results suggest...
Abstract Overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is known to be a key contributor the obesity epidemic; however, its effects on behavioral changes are yet fully studied. In present study, we examined long-term SSB social aggression in mice. Three-week-old weaned mice started drink either 30 w/v% sucrose solution (S30), plain water (CT), or an aspartame with sweetness equivalent (A30) and continued until they were 11-week-old adults. Aggressive behaviors assessed by...
The aim of the present study is twofold: (1) to lest factor structure Need for Closure scale (NFCS) in three different samples that were not studied previously: Polish (N = 340), Flemish 623), and Korean 429); (2) test invariance across samples, as well an American sample 240). With respect first objective, our results point out two second-order model should be preferred. This result corroborates previous studies on west European samples. second provide support structural invariance, partial...
Abstract Is the same person perceived as more dangerous if perceiver is induced to think about Arab and Muslim categories versus no category? Using shooter paradigm, this study investigated effects of accessibility ethnic (Arab) religious (Muslim) category on spontaneous aggressive responses toward a target with an ambiguous appearance. Results demonstrated that shooting reactions armed targets were faster than non‐shooting unarmed targets, especially was man. Despite these main effects,...
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging technique that noninvasively detects the brain magnetic field from neuronal activations. Conventional MEG measures signals using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). SQUID-MEG requires cryogenic environment involving bulky non-magnetic Dewar flask and consumption of liquid helium, which restricts variability sensor array gap between cortical sources sensors. Recently, miniature optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs)...
Three studies examine the role of situational constraint information on behavior identification. It was found that where behavior-identification task is relatively easy assimilation to constraints independent cognitive load. However, difficult, undermined by Given discounting information, too, can be load dispositional-inference easy, and load-dependent when it appears both behave identically in regard This conclusion consistent with judgmental unimodel whereby identification dispositional...
Infancy and childhood are periods of physical cognitive development that vulnerable to disruption by dehydration; however, the effects dehydration on during have not yet been fully elucidated. Thus, present study used a murine model examine sustained growth development. Three-week-old C57BL/6J mice were provided either ad libitum (control group) or time-limited (15 min/day; access water for 4 weeks. Physical was examined via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry whole-body scan, assessed using...
Personality traits that influence on individuals' communication and relationship behavior, assertiveness responsiveness, are presumed to be important components for sexual behavior. We investigated the relationships of responsiveness behavior tested relative contributions personality physical (e.g., body shapes, fluctuating asymmetry, digit ratios) prediction Additionally, we examined whether effect these interacts with each other attractiveness. Assertiveness had substantial effects...
Using global measures, most studies have shown that Caucasian Americans were more assertive than Chinese. Adopting a situational approach, three conducted to examine differences and similarities in request rejection, its underlying mechanisms for Results revealed (a) likely reject requests of moderate legitimacy Chinese; (b) both cultural groups similar rejection high- low-legitimacy situations; (c) when considering their needs rights, but less relationship with the requester; (d) self-model...
