Gender differences in the associations between cognition and expectations regarding aging
Emerging evidence has reported associations between more negative views on aging and poorer performance on cognitive tasks. However, findings have been inconsistent. Gender differences and the cognitive status of participants may help explain these discrepancies. This study therefore investigated (a) the associations of gender, presence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and their interaction with expectations regarding aging (ERA, a measure ass…
Replication of the music preference (Music) model and evaluation of its association with personality and autistic traits
Music preferences have consistently been found to follow a five-factor structure (i.e., Mellow, Unpretentious, Sophisticated, Intense, and Contemporary, in short MUSIC), in the West. These factors are associated, in turn, with the Big Five personality traits. However, the stability of this structure and its association with personality in non-Western cultures are underexplored. Moreover, behavioral traits other than personality traits might relat…
Learning a well-formed microtonal scale
This study investigates learning interval structure and pitch occurrence frequency of a microtonal scale by two groups of musicians (one experienced in Western tonal music only, the other in several microtonal systems) and non-musicians. While musically untrained participants could rapidly learn the pitch occurrence frequency of this scale, learning microtonal pitch intervals was slow in musicians. Interestingly, microtonal musicians were the slo…

The Impact of Premorbid and Postmorbid Depression Onset on Mortality and Cardiac Morbidity Among Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
BACKGROUND: Depression is associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality in the general population and in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Recent evidence suggests that patients with new-onset depression post-CHD diagnosis have worse outcomes than do those who had previous or recurrent depression. This meta-analysis investigated the timing of depression onset in established CHD and CHD-free cohorts to determine what time fra…
Post-traumatic Growth among Cardiac Outpatients
This study evaluated the sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral correlates of post-traumatic growth (PTG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, and the degree of PTG compared to other patient groups. Using a prospective design, 1497 CAD outpatients completed a survey assessing potential PTG correlates. A total of 1268 responded to a nine-month follow-up survey assessing PTG. Significant PTG correlates were being younger, non-white, having…
An Examination of the Relationship Between Qigong Meditation and Personality
Qigong meditation is an ancient form of meditation that has been linked with various health benefits. We were interested in whether or not this form of meditation has a relationship with personality. To this end, we administered the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) to eighty Qigong meditation practitioners and seventy-four non-practitioners. The results showed that the number of years of Qigong practice was negatively correlated with neurotici…
