We explored if the disposition to react with aggression while alcohol intoxicated was moderated by polymorphic variants of oxytocin receptor gene ( OXTR ). Twelve polymorphisms were genotyped in 116 Finnish men [aged 18–30, M = 22.7, standard deviation (SD) 2.4] who randomly assigned an condition which they received dose 0.7 g pure ethanol/kg body weight or a placebo condition. Aggressive behavior measured using laboratory paradigm it operationalized as level aversive noise administered...
Purpose. The study extends research by Santtila et al. (2008) investigating the effectiveness of linking cases serial homicide using behavioural patterns offenders, analysed through Bayesian reasoning. also investigates informative value individual variables in process. Methods. Offender behaviour was coded from official documents relating to 116 solved belonging 19 separate series. basis linkage analyses 92 behaviours as present or absent case based on investigator observations crime scene....
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a general term describing wide range of events that vary in characteristics such as the victim's age onset, relationship to perpetrator, quantity, degree contact, and use force. To investigate correlations provide information on clustering these characteristics, present meta-analysis included data from 14,494 sexually abused individuals 62 empirical peer-reviewed studies doctoral theses. The results showed victims intrafamilial were younger than extrafamilial...
An association between childhood gender atypical behaviour (GAB) and a negative parent–child relationship has been demonstrated in several studies, yet the causal of this is not fully understood. In present study, different models causation GAB relationships were tested. Direction modelling was applied to twin data from population‐based sample ( n = 2,565) Finnish 33‐ 43‐year‐old twins. Participants completed retrospective self‐report questionnaires. Five then fitted data: → relationship,...
Potential effects of sexual orientation on ejaculatory function have been overlooked in the literature. In anticipation fifth edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (DSM-V), attempts made to formulate universally suitable definitions for different subtypes premature ejaculation. However, proposed are centered around intravaginal ejaculation latency time, little consideration has given whether such applicable gay or bisexual men. The present study aimed investigate delayed...
The efficacy of working memory (WM) training has been a controversial and hotly debated issue during the last years, despite large number studies several meta-analyses, matter not yet solved. We conducted multi-level meta-analysis on cognitive transfer effects in healthy adults who have administered WM updating with n-back tasks, most common experimental paradigm. Thanks to this methodological approach that employed previous meta-analyses field, we were able include effect sizes from all...
We estimated the predictive power of dynamic items in Finnish Risk and Needs Assessment Form ( Riski- ja tarvearvio [RITA]), assessed by caseworkers, for predicting recidivism. These 52 were compared to static predictors including crime(s) committed, prison history, age. used two machine learning methods (elastic net random forest) this purpose them with logistic regression. Participants 746 men who had not reoffended during matched follow-up periods from 0.5 5.8 years. Both RITA predicted...
We examined how judges evaluate four characteristics when choosing an expert witness for a forensic psychological or psychiatric case. asked 87 to read short descriptions of legal cases and them choose the best from pool experts who differed based on following criteria: could be psychologist psychiatrist, have not work experience, leadership role, publications in field. The results showed that considered expert's experience as necessary criterion without which cannot chosen. Also, they...
Background/Aims: Speech and voice symptoms appear in approximately 65-74% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), however, only a limited part these seems to be referred speech therapy. The purpose the present study was evaluate effects two-part, 15-day rehabilitation course on function PD. Methods: Daily therapy sessions were provided both individually groups. Six participants PD, their spouses, participated study. samples recorded they analysed perceptually acoustically. Additionally,...
Validation of risk and needs assessment instruments used to predict, reduce, recidivism misconduct is ethical, practical scientific importance. We argue for a focus on variable (i.e. changeable over time) factors, that validation begins with establishing construct validity. The Finnish Risk Needs Assessment Form, in Riski- ja tarvearvio (RITA), semi-structured interview form adapted from the Offender System England Wales consists primarily factors. In this study, we examined validity...
