Resilience of primal world beliefs to the initial shock of the Covid ‐19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: People hold general beliefs about the world called primals (e.g., the world is Safe, Intentional), which are strongly linked to individual differences in personality, behavior, and mental health. How such beliefs form or change across the lifespan is largely unknown, although theory suggests that beliefs become more negative after disruptive events. The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to test whether dramatic world changes…
What, after Speech is Free, Shall We Say
The over-specialization of academic disciplines, the decline of core curricula, deference to student sentiment, administrative overreach, and restrictions on speech have erased the university’s role in fostering the great humanistic conversations vital to self-governance
Opportunities and challenges for intranasal oxytocin treatment studies in nonhuman primates
Nonhuman primates provide a human-relevant experimental model system to explore the mechanisms by which oxytocin (OT) regulates social processing and inform its clinical applications. Here, we highlight contributions of the nonhuman primate model to our understanding of OT treatment and address unique challenges in administering OT to awake behaving primates. Prior preclinical research utilizing macaque monkeys has demonstrated that OT can modula…
Weak effects of common genetic variation in oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes on rhesus macaque social behavior
The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) influence pair bonding, attachment, and sociality, as well as anxiety and stress responses in humans and other mammals. The effects of these peptides are mediated by genetic variability in their associated receptors, OXTR and the AVPR gene family. However, the role of these genes in regulating social behaviors in non-human primates is not well understood. To address this question, we …
Personality Traits in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Are Heritable but Do Not Predict Reproductive Output
