Much smaller associations were found in the reverse direction; that is, the associations of sleep quality with depressive problems mediated by these links were less significant.
In the brains of those living with depressive problems, they discovered a strong connection between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (associated with short-term memory), the precuneus (associated with the self), and the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (associated with negative emotion).

The teens' "pseudomature behavior," as the researchers call it, "predicted long-term difficulties in close relationships, as well as significant problems with alcohol and substance use, and elevated levels of criminal behavior," the study said.
Even almost a decade later, however, social status concerns continued to play a key role in the lives of these individuals as adults, as they found themselves more likely to perceive that their romantic partners were ending relationships with them based upon their own lack of social status.
For these teens, being popular was their highest goal, Allen said.

The findings support the proposition that early adolescent attempts to gain status via pseudomature behavior are not simply passing annoyances of this developmental stage, but rather may signal movement down a problematic pathway and away from progress toward real psychosocial competence.

Our results support the notion that the adolescent brain remains receptive to training, underscoring the importa...

First, if we observe that young parents have negative well-being trajectories but that older parents with more resources have easier transitions to parenthood, this may influence postponement of a first birth through social learning.

this strategy works with human nature to encourage saving. happy holidays @username update followers!
While most people may not think about how much they will save during specific future periods, this study demonstrated the distinction between saving now and saving in the future and the fact that these two decisions are unique and affected by implementation planning and future optimism.
this strategy works with human nature to encourage saving. happy holidays @username update followers!
In contrast, the linear savings method encourages deferral of the savings task to the future, inflating savings predictions in the distant future, but dampening current saving. While most people may not think about how much they will save during specific future periods, this study demonstrated the distinction between s...

🚨 STOP THE PRESS: HAs social media destroyed a generation? Probably not. 🚨 Research published today in @username puts an end to overhyped correlational results by providing concrete longitudinal evidence: (1/11)
We found that social media use is not, in and of itself, a strong predictor of life satisfaction across the adolescent population.
🚨 STOP THE PRESS: HAs social media destroyed a generation? Probably not. 🚨 Research published today in @username puts an end to overhyped correlational results by providing concrete longitudinal evidence: (1/11)
We found that social media use is not, in and of itself, a strong predictor of life satisfaction across the adolescent population. Instead, social media effects are nuanced, small at best, reciprocal over time, gender specific, and contingent on analytic methods. Furthermore, the volume of data under analysis, paired w...

Discovered that temporal summation, a process many animals share, lies at the core of adaptive vocal volume control
For the human and bird experiments ( , the vocalizations studied were about 150 ms long, which constrains the lower latency limit of the Lombard effect that can be measured.

For example, using the data from the ...

New today @username. Experts in face processing learn rules about matching identity across unfamiliar faces.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first convincing demonstration of a professional group showing higher accuracy on face matching tasks.

What is the role of the #endocannabinoid system in #stress? Read the latest review from @username
Second, basal eCB signaling appears to be reduced in individuals afflicted with stress-related psychiatric conditions, such as major depression or PTSD, suggesting that impaired eCB signaling is related to the development of these conditions.
What is the role of the #endocannabinoid system in #stress? Read the latest review from @username
First, eCB signaling is responsive to stress and deficient eCB activity is associated with increased stress responses, suggesting that eCB signaling constrains the magnitude of the stress response.

Our paper on facial replication in sunbears is out today in @username Super proud of Derry Taylor and happy to have contributed to this research!
However, this possibility requires further research into whether gentle play is more likely to transition into rough play when exact facial mimicry occurs.
Our paper on facial replication in sunbears is out today in @username Super proud of Derry Taylor and happy to have contributed to this research!
Perhaps exact facial mimicry helps to signal a readiness to transition into rougher play in sun bears, which is consistent with the proposition that facial communication helps regulate high play intensity 22 , and is a pattern previously associated with canid play signalling 19 . However, this possibility requires furt...

Grey matter loss appears to be a universal process in #schizophrenia, regardless of #ethnicity
For example, patients from Asian ethnicities are more likely to experience visual hallucinations, whereas patients from western cultures and Caucasian ethnicities are more likely to suffer from auditory hallucinations.

Year of the Woman? @username A 2016 study from the Journal of Consumer Research showed women are better at compromising, stating compromise is “nearly guaranteed when a woman is involved in decision-making pairs.”
If men make a joint choice on an appetizer or a piece of real estate, for example, they may choose a more expensive alternative than if they choose with women or alone.
Year of the Woman? @username A 2016 study from the Journal of Consumer Research showed women are better at compromising, stating compromise is “nearly guaranteed when a woman is involved in decision-making pairs.”
To use this insight, marketers may want to prompt men to make decisions with other men. If men make a joint choice on an appetizer or a piece of real estate, for example, they may choose a more expensive alternative than if they choose with women or alone. Finally, marketers using the compromise effect for new product ...

Role of touch in regulating inter-partner physiological coupling during #empathy for #pain MT @username
Thus, future research should test the role of oxytocin in touch-related analgesia.
Role of touch in regulating inter-partner physiological coupling during #empathy for #pain MT @username
It was demonstrated that warm touch can increase the levels of plasma oxytocin, and reduce stress 78 and depression 79 . Thus, future research should test the role of oxytocin in touch-related analgesia. It is important to note that our findings of interpersonal coupling during touch can also be explained by the phenom...

Acceptance-based skills,commitment 2 defined values &amp; decision making awareness promising strategies 4 weight control:
Moreover, when administered by weight control experts, as opposed to graduate student trainees, weight loss was significantly higher in ABT than standard behavioral treatment at 6-month follow-up (11.0% vs. 4.8).
Acceptance-based skills,commitment 2 defined values &amp; decision making awareness promising strategies 4 weight control:
Weight loss at 18 months, i.e., 6-month follow-up, was somewhat larger for those receiving ABT, but moderation analyses revealed that this advantage was especially powerful for participants with particular vulnerabilities, i.e., mood disturbance, elevated responsivity to food cues and high disinhibition . Moreover, whe...

Famed Gorilla Koko exercises voluntary control over 9 discrete breathing-related behaviors.
Based on these and other findings, we suggest that vocal learning and the ability to exercise volitional control over vocalization, particularly in a multimodal context, might have figured relatively early into the evolution of language, with some rudimentary capacity in place at the time of our last common ancestor wi...

Our analysis shows that Koko exercises voluntary control over the performance of nine distinctive VBBs, which involve variable coordination of her breathing, larynx, and supralaryngeal articulators like the tongue and lips. Based on these and other findings, we suggest that vocal learning and the ability to exercise vo...
