Prospective memory (PM) – or for tasks to be completed in the future is essential daily functioning. Although depression and anxiety have been shown impair PM performance, few studies explored relative contributions of different symptom domains. Here, we examined relation between anxiety, depression, negative mood, performance using tripartite model. The model attributes substantial overlap general distress/negative affect. Twenty-seven non-diagnosed undergraduate participants first...
Recent interest in the social and cognitive effects of intranasal oxytocin prompts a need for understanding its physiological humans. Few studies have examined on steroid hormones. Filling this gap is especially important given evidence that hormones participate some same behavioral functions as oxytocin, e.g. stress, processing emotional stimuli, aggression, trust, empathy, parental care.In randomized, double-blind experiments, we administered (24 IU) or saline placebo to 97 healthy...
Given the well-established link between control beliefs and well-being, researchers have turned their attention to characterizing mechanisms that help foster this relationship across second half of life. Cross-sectional, empirical work has identified a mediating among religiosity spirituality (R/S), beliefs, subjective such individuals with higher R/S show well-being is mediated by between-person differences in perceived control.

Research Design Methods Participants derived from Notre Dame Study Health & Well-being (NDHWB), a longitudinal spanning 10 years an age-heterogeneous sample.

Emotion regulation (i.e. either up- or down-regulating affective responses to emotional stimuli) has been shown modulate long-term memory formation. Further, research demonstrated that the aspects of scenes are preferentially remembered relative neutral (known as trade-off effect). This is often enhanced when sleep follows learning, compared an equivalent period time spent awake. However, interactive effects and emotion on poorly understood. We presented 87 participants with pictures...
