Gift and ghost authorship and the use of authorship guidelines in psychology journals
More than 800 (co-)authors participated in a large-scale cross-sectional survey on inappropriate attribution of authorship and the use of explicit authorship guidelines in psychological science (response rate 29.6%, predominantly from Europe and North America). Almost half of the respondents had been involved in a study where someone was added as an author who did not contribute substantially (gift authorship) at least a few times. Being involved…
Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries
Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns with a preregistered 68-country survey of 71,922 respondents and found that in most countries, most p…
Feeling Lightheaded
Objective: The main aims of this study were a) to investigate the relationship between lightheadedness and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) during hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia, and b) to investigate whether and why the relationship between lightheadedness and CBFv may change after several episodes of this sensation. Methods: Three hypocapnic and three normocapnic overbreathing trials were administered in a semirandomized order to health…
Acquired Lightheadedness in Response to Odors After Hyperventilation
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether lightheadedness in response to odors could be acquired through previous associations with hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia. METHODS: Diluted ammonia and acetic acid served as conditional odor cues (CSs) in a differential associative learning paradigm. Hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia (unconditional stimulus [US]) was used to induce lightheadedness. In a training phase, participants (n = 28)…
Can Subjective Asthma Symptoms Be Learned
Objective: We investigated whether perception of subjective asthma symptoms can be brought under control of biomedically irrelevant cues in the environment, i.e., whether subjective asthma symptoms can be learned in response to harmless stimuli. Methods: Twenty patients with asthma and 20 healthy participants were presented with two placebo-inhalers presented as new chemicals for diagnosing asthma. One inhaler was coupled three times with rebreat…
Imagined Risk of Suffocation as a Trigger for Hyperventilation
OBJECTIVE: Although hyperventilation has been hypothesized to play a role in many pathologies, its critical triggers remain poorly understood. The present experiment aimed to test whether stronger hyperventilation responses occur in response to suggested risk of suffocation compared with other fearful situations in high- and low-trait anxious women. METHODS: Fractional end-tidal CO2-concentration (FetCO2), respiratory frequency, and inspiratory v…
Negative affectivity and enhanced symptom reports
Resting End-Tidal CO2 and Negative Affectivity
OBJECTIVE: Dhokalia, Parsons, and Anderson (Psychosom Med 1998;60:33-37) found a positive correlation between a trait measure of negative affectivity (NA; neuroticism) and resting end-tidal fractional concentration of CO2 (FetCO2) (fractional-concentration of end-tidal carbon dioxide) in a nonclinical sample. This contrasts sharply with studies reporting a negative association of FetCO2 with state measures of NA and with studies reporting no or a…
