Being heard, restoring a social connection and decreasing anger
Growing social polarization and ideological radicalization contribute to an increased risk of violence, particularly among vulnerable individuals experiencing despair and marginalization. Understanding the subjective experiences of individuals involved in violent extremism (VE) can inform the development of effective clinical and social interventions that promote disengagement and reintegration. Despite increasing efforts to address VE through te…
Sex, Age, and Smartphone Addiction Across 41 Countries
A Nudge-Based Intervention to Reduce Problematic Smartphone Use
Smartphone addiction is increasing across the world
Super Placebos
Background: Ample evidence demonstrates that placebo effects are modulated by contextual factors. Few interventions, however, attempt to combine a broad range of these factors. Here, we explore the therapeutic power of placebos by leveraging factors including social proof, positive suggestion, and social learning. This study aimed to test the feasibility of an elaborate "super placebo" intervention to reduce symptoms of various disorders in a ped…
Engaging culture and context in mhGAP implementation
In 2002, WHO launched the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) as a strategy to help member states scale up services to address the growing burden of mental, neurological and substance use disorders globally, especially in countries with limited resources. Since then, the mhGAP program has been widely implemented but also criticised for insufficient attention to cultural and social context and ethical issues. To address this issue and help …
Hypnotised by Your Phone? Smartphone Addiction Correlates With Hypnotisability
Hypnosis and heavy smartphone use are both characterised by absorbed states in which one loses track of time and responds automatically to stimuli. In this pre-registered study, we tested whether there was a relationship between smartphone addiction and hypnotisability: one's tendency to follow suggestions under hypnosis. Over 11 public lectures, we hypnotised 641 student-aged participants; after the hypnosis session, participants completed the S…
Culture and depression in global mental health
Cultural Affordances
In this paper we outline a framework for the study of the mechanisms involved in the engagement of human agents with cultural affordances. Our aim is to better understand how culture and context interact with human biology to shape human behavior, cognition, and experience. We attempt to integrate several related approaches in the study of the embodied, cognitive, and affective substrates of sociality and culture and the sociocultural scaffolding…
Making a Living
Set in the criminalized, racialized, and sexualized streets of Salvador da Bahia, this article presents experimental ethnographic glimpses of the deeply transnational aspects of desire, suffering, and violence in the disintegrating public spaces of a Northeastern Brazilian city famous for its global tourism fuelled by transnational desire for and consumption of Afro-Brazilian culture and bodies. The author reflects on the possibility of critical …
