In this study, we investigated the perception of risk and worries about COVID-19 infection in both healthcare workers general population Italy. We studied difference these two groups, how related to demographic variables psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, death anxiety. To aim, administered an online questionnaire together with other questionnaires assessing condition participants. First, found that exposition risk, due living area or job, increased perceived stress anxiety (i.e....
Vaccination is considered a key factor in the sanitary resolution of COVID-19 pandemic. However, vaccine hesitancy can undermine its diffusion with severe consequences on global health. While beliefs conspiracy theories, mistrust science and policymakers, official information channels may also increment hesitancy, understanding their psychological causes could improve our capacity to respond Thus, we designed cross-sectional study aim probing propensity Italian population explored...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the support attentional and memory processes in controlling a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) people suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Eight with ALS performed two behavioural tasks: i) rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task, screening temporal filtering capacity speed update attentive filter, ii) change detection spatial capacity. participants were also asked perform BCI spelling task. By using correlation...
Humor is considered an adaptive coping strategy as it could reduce the burden of perceived stress and increase positive emotional states when dealing with stressful situations. has been reported in several models a rather independent that can be correlated both approach-based strategies avoidance-based strategies. defined hedonistic escapism would work better presence unpredictable or uncontrollable stressors, such spread COVID-19 pandemic its related confinement measures. Therefore, during...
Based on the theoretical framework that a fulfilling life encompasses happiness, meaning, and psychological richness, this study introduces Italian translation of Psychologically Rich Life Questionnaire (PRLQ-I), exploring its connection with mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive fusion, anxiety, positing richness as critical, yet distinct, component well-being. Psychological characterized by diverse interesting experiences, complements hedonic eudaimonic dimensions well-being, offering...
Great scientific effort has been devoted to understanding what drives pro-environmental behaviour, yet the question of environmental attitude–behaviour gap remains unanswered. Studies have indicated that self-regulation and executive functions may reduce such a by increasing individuals’ ability maintain attention on present actions resist goal-conflicting temptations. Given inherent association with dispositional mindfulness, we carried out cross-sectional study test hypothesis role...
A successful transition to a lower-emission society may require major changes in the patterns of individual behaviours. Yet, whilst awareness and concern about climate change have increased recent years among global population, greenhouse gases emissions not ceased rise. This paper discusses potential reasons underlying gap between knowledge actions implemented contain gas emissions. To investigate this phenomenon, we look at scientific literature exploring factors influencing...
Introduction Autobiographical narrative skills and resistance to suggestibility factors are central aspects in children’s testimony. While the assessment of relies on standardized questionnaire, no such an instrument exists reliably assess autobiographical children. This aspect is further important when considering that development seems be related suggestibility, is, would reduced presence higher skills. However, direct test this relationship available literature, also due lack quantitative...
Object In this paper, the authors' goal was to evaluate prognostic value of YKL-40 expression as a factor for glioblastomas and compare its validity already known MGMT . Methods Between January 2002 2007, 105 patients were treated cerebral glioblastoma. The extent removal classified in 4 groups. evaluated by semiquantitative immunohistochemical staining scale (0, no staining; 1, mild expression; 2, strong expression). promoter methylation status analyzed with methylation-specific polymerase...
Abstract Objectives According to the core Buddhist psychology models of “two arrows pain” and “co-dependent origination,” pain is resultant bodily mental factors, which can be regulated by meditation states traits. Here we investigated how related aversion identification (self-involvement) experiences are modulated focused attention (FAM), open monitoring (OMM), loving kindness (LKM), as well expertise. Methods Theravada long-term meditators were matched with a group short-term meditators....
The experience of pain is a combined product bottom-up and top-down influences mediated by attentional emotional factors. Meditation states traits are characterized enhanced attention/emotion regulation expanded self-awareness that can be expected to modify processing. main objective the present study was explore effects long-term meditation on neural mechanisms EEG pain-related oscillations (PROs) were analysed in highly experienced practitioners novices during non-meditative resting state...
Objectives. The main objective of the present study was to explore effects different types meditation on neurophysiologic mechanisms pain processing. Methods. EEG responses electric median nerve stimulation were recorded in short-term and long-term meditators (STM, LTM) during rest three forms engaging attentional affective regulation ways: focused attention (FAM), open monitoring (OMM) loving kindness (LKM). analysed time- time-frequency domains compute local components, temporal spatial...
Two separate lines of study have clarified the role selectivity in conscious access to visual information. Both involve presenting multiple targets and distracters: one simultaneously a spatially distributed fashion, other sequentially at single location. To understand their findings unified framework, we propose neurodynamic model for Visual Selection Awareness (ViSA). ViSA supports view that neural representations visuo-spatial working memory are globally based on recurrent interactions...
