Previous research has shown that being affectively unstable is an indicator of several forms psychological maladjustment. However, little known about the mechanisms underlying affective instability. Our aims to examine possibility prone extreme fluctuations in one's feelings related maladaptive emotion regulation. We investigated this hypothesis by relating instability, assessed daily life using experience sampling method, self-reported regulation strategies and parasympathetically mediated...

Rumination has been defined as a mode of responding to distress that involves passively focusing one's attention on symptoms without taking action. This dysfunctional response style intensifies depressed mood, impairs interpersonal problem solving, and leads more pessimistic future perspectives less social support. As most these results were obtained from younger people, it remains unclear how age affects ruminative thinking. Three hundred members the general public ranging in 15 87 years...

This study investigated the extent to which differences in implicit and explicit math–language gender stereotypes, essentialist beliefs among preservice teachers affect tracking recommendations for math/science- versus language-oriented secondary schools. Consistent with expectations, results suggest that student's influences teachers' school career recommendations: Boys are more likely be recommended a math/science-oriented school, whereas girls school. Both stereotypes genetic determinism...

Previous studies have linked higher emotional inertia (i.e., a stronger autoregressive slope of emotions) with lower well-being. We aimed to replicate these findings, while extending upon previous research by addressing number unresolved issues and controlling for potential confounds. Specifically, we report results from two (Ns = 100 202) examining how inertia, assessed in response standardized sequence stimuli the lab, correlates several measures The current build on both positive emotions...

Central precocious puberty (CPP) develops due to premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, resulting in early pubertal changes and rapid bone maturation. CPP is associated with lower adult height increased risk for development psychological problems. Standard treatment based on postponement by blockade HPG axis gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) leading abolition gonadal sex hormones synthesis. Whereas hormonal auxological effects GnRHa are well...

This study aimed to investigate whether interindividual differences in autonomic inhibitory control predict safety learning and fear extinction an interoceptive conditioning paradigm. Data from a previously reported (N = 40) were extended 17) re-analyzed test healthy participants' resting heart rate variability (HRV) - proxy of cardiac vagal tone predicts performance. The conditioned stimulus (CS) was slight sensation breathlessness induced by flow resistor, the unconditioned (US) aversive...

Natural environments have been shown to trigger psychological and physiological restoration in humans. A new framework regarding natural restorative properties is proposed. Conditioned theory builds on a classical conditioning paradigm, postulating the occurrence of four stages: (i) unconditioned restoration, positive affective responses reliably occur given environment (such as setting); (ii) conditioning, become conditioned environment; (iii) subsequent exposure environment, absence...

Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI) have been evaluated as the most promising interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder. In recent years, a growing body of literature suggests that technological advancements such Virtual Reality (VR) are intervention tools. However, to best our knowledge no studies combined evidence-based practice tools.This article aims review current combining NDBI and VR, provide suggestions on merging NDBI-approaches VR.This is...

Silver-based dressings have been used extensively in wound management recent years, but data on their antimicrobial activity the clinical setting are limited. In order to explore effects chronic leg ulcer flora, 14 ulcers were cultured after at least 3 weeks treatment with Aquacel Ag(®) or Acticoat(®). Phenotypic and genetic silver resistance investigated a total of 56 isolates. had limited effect primary pathogens, which present 79% cultures before, 71% after, treatment. One...

The objective of this study was to examine the association between perseverative cognition in form work-related rumination, and heart rate variability (HRV). We tested hypothesis that high ruminators would show lower vagally mediated HRV relative low during their leisure time. Individuals were classified as being (n = 17) or 19), using affective scale on rumination measure. assessed a wrist sensor band (Microsoft Band 2). sampled 8 pm 10 over three workday evenings (Monday Wednesday) while...

Abstract Affective instability, conceptualized as fluctuations in mood over time, has been related to ill-health and psychopathology. In this study, we examined the role of affective instability on daily pain outcomes 70 patients with chronic (M age = 49.7 years; 46 females) using an end-of-day diary. During a baseline phase, completed self-reported questionnaires severity, duration, disability, depression, anxiety. subsequent diary filled out electronic 14 consecutive days assessing levels...

Cognitive Warfare takes advantage of novel developments in technology and science to influence how target populations think act. Establishing adequate defense against requires examination modus operandi understand this emerging action space. This includes the goals methods that can be realized through technology. Recent literature suggests both human nonhuman cognition should considered as targets Warfare. There are currently no frameworks allowing for a unified way conceptualizing...

The study explores how ChatGPT can infer personality traits during natural conversations by leveraging publicly available personal information, such as media data, an entry point. Utilising framework (SEPF), research endeavours to optimise attack vectors based on Big Five traits, with objective enhancing persuasiveness strategies. approach is divided...

Summary The effect of parental attention to child pain (attend vs avoid) on emotion regulation and control behaviour is dependent anxiety. We investigated the function in regulating distress when observing their performing a painful (cold pressor) task (CPT); we also studied moderating role state Participants were 62 schoolchildren one parents. Parental towards or away from (ie, attend avoid pain) was experimentally manipulated during viewing pairing unfamiliar children's neutral faces....

Somatic marker theory predicts that somatic cues serve intuitive decision making; however, cardiovascular symptoms are threat for patients with panic disorder (PD). Therefore, enhanced cardiac perception may aid making only in healthy individuals, but impair PD patients.PD and age-and sex-matched volunteers without a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 17, respectively) completed the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) as measure of making. Interindividual differences were assessed common mental-tracking...

Narcissists are described as individuals with dysfunctional personality traits such lack of psychological awareness and empathy. Theories ethical behaviour assume that unethical actions trigger moral emotions guilt shame. Currently, there is a knowledge on dispositional their potential influences in narcissistic traits. The present study examined vulnerable grandiose narcissism's differences the propensity to experience shame proneness, across range personal transgressions. Guilt proneness...

Emotion regulation and associated autonomic activation develop throughout childhood adolescence under the influence of family environment. Specifically, physiological indicators nervous system activity such as interoceptive sensitivity vagally mediated heart rate variability (HRV) can inform on emotion regulation. Although effect parental socialization appears to be influenced by processes, research factors remains scarce. This study investigated relationship between self-reported habitual...
