Background The current study aimed to assess prevalence of mental disorders during Covid-19 pandemic- and respective lockdown in Germany, potential behaviors/states that can have protective functions on preventing severe problems. Assessing disorders, as well find variables is very important order determine people's psychological suffering. It provides the basis for teaching possible coping styles prevent a major breakdown health. Prevalence was expected increase pandemic, especially...
Hallucinatory experiences are by far not limited to patients with clinical psychosis. A number of internal and external factors may bring about such in healthy individuals, whereby the personality trait (positive) schizotypy is a major mediator individual differences. Psychotic defined as associating abnormal meaning real but objectively irrelevant perceptions. Especially, ambiguity stimulus correlates positively likelihood interpretation, intelligence believed have an important influence...
Despite a plethora of research, associations between individual differences in personality and electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters remain poorly understood due to concerns low replicability insufficiently powered data analyses relatively small effect sizes. The present article describes how multi-laboratory team EEG-personality researchers aims alleviate this unsatisfactory status quo. In particular, the outlines design methodology project, provides detailed overview resulting large-scale...
Schizotypy is an organization of traits mirroring psychosis-like symptoms and conveying individual psychosis-proneness. schizophrenia share a genetic basis, wherefore initial schizotypy definitions considered schizophrenic genotype as condicio sine qua non. Since the search for monogenetic marker has proven in vain, it believed that (genetically) based on multiple alleles, each small effect-size. Schizophrenia may be viewed qualitative entity at extreme dimension. To date, however, not been...
Studies in regard to womens' neural reactivity erotic and other positive emotional cues association with sexual hormones are relatively rare findings rather inconclusive. Concerning the reactions towards stimuli, late potential (LPP) is seen as most relevant ERP-component: More amplitudes supposed reflect larger motivational salience higher arousal reaction presented stimuli. Therefore, it was expected that LPP pictures would be more pronounced during fertile periods of menstrual cycle...
Background In event-related potentials, the N170 manifests itself especially in reaction to faces. healthy population, face-inversion leads stronger negative amplitudes and prolonged latencies of N170, effects not being present patients with autism-spectrum-disorder (ASD). ASD has frequently been associated differences oxytocinergic neurotransmission. This ERP-study aimed investigate effect association candidate genes. It was expected that risk-allele-carriers...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Early and late event-related potential (ERP) responses, representing early subconscious motivational processes, were recorded for positive emotional words related to ‘wanting' ‘liking', in dependence of the dopamine-related Taq1A genotype (ANKK1/DRD2). Research suggests that as opposed ‘liking' is dopaminergic processes. Therefore, it was hypothesized risk allele carriers polymorphism exhibit ERP changes reaction incentive motivation,...
Background/Aims: Exposure toward positive emotional cues with – and without reproductive significance plays a crucial role in daily life regarding well-being as well mental health. While possible adverse effects of oral contraceptive (OC) use on female sexual health are widely discussed, neural processing stimuli has not been systematically investigated association OC use. Considering reported mood, function, proposed associations depression, it was hypothesized that users showed reduced...

Background As outlined by the dual control model (DCM), individual differences in regulation of sexual arousal following stimulation depend on two distinct neurophysiological processes: excitation (SE) and inhibition (SI). Although associations with function, behavior, cue processing have been demonstrated previous research, underlying neural correlates remain insufficiently explored. Moreover, interactive effects SE/SI as proposed DCM, well factors impacting properties, such use oral...
