Extraverts are better than introverts at building rapport, but it remains unknown what they do behaviorally to connect with other individuals. We hypothesized that extraverts mimic more as a way build rapport; however, we predicted this social skillfulness of emerges only when motivated affiliate. In Study 1, found extraversion increased mimicry an affiliation goal was present, not absent. 2, mediates the relationship between and is present. Our findings first identify behavior engage in...
Given research suggesting that social interactions are beneficial, it is unclear why individuals lower in extraversion engage less interactions. In this study, we test whether reap fewer hedonic rewards from and explore psychological processes explain their experiences. Before participants socialized, measured extraversion, state positive affect, cognitive capacity, expectations about the After socialized with one another, affect capacity again as well fear of negative evaluation belief...
Abstract Background The mechanisms by which parental early life stress can be transmitted to the next generation, in some cases a sex-specific manner, are unclear. Maternal preconception may increase susceptibility suboptimal health outcomes via utero programming of fetal hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Methods We recruited healthy pregnant women ( N = 147), dichotomized into low (0 or 1) and high (2+) adverse childhood experience (ACE) groups based on ACE Questionnaire, test...
Abstract To determine whether the relationship between inflammatory factors and clinically significant depression symptoms is moderated by high exposure to adverse childhood experiences current life stressors in a longitudinal community cohort of midlife women. Methods: Participants from Penn Ovarian Ageing Study (age at baseline: M = 45.3 [SD 3.8]) were included analyses if they had blood sample measuring basal markers during least one visit where symptom severity stressful events also...
Abstract Aims To determine whether childhood adversity is associated with self‐reported lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among older adult women. Methods A convenience sample of women (≥55 years old) who presented to an academic urology practice or had participated in a previous bladder health prevention study completed questionnaires including the LUTS Tool (on frequency and bother LUTS), Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire, Spielberger State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory,...
Consideration of sex differences in biomedical research is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness drugs devices for both sexes improve rigor reproducibility scientific discoveries. Historically, women were underrepresented clinical typically not considered. The U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) National Institutes Health (NIH) have played a role improving representation trials encouraging consideration differences. As it appropriate all studies be reviewed by FDA nor do NIH...
Whereas previous research has focused on the role of rTPJ when consciously inhibiting mimicry, we test mimicry within a social interaction, during which mimicking occurs nonconsciously. We wanted to determine whether higher activation always inhibits tendency imitate (regardless context) or it facilitates interactions (when is an adaptive response). Participants received either active sham intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS: type that increases cortical activation) rTPJ. Next,...
Although exogenous progesterone may hold promise as a treatment for nicotine use disorders, it is unclear whether similarly effective in males and females. This study examined the effects of on disorder comprehensively using behavioral, psychological, neural measures male female smokers exposed to brief abstinence.Thirty-three 33 non-treatment-seeking participated double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover 200 mg or placebo daily over four-day abstinence period. Smoking behavior...
