No particularly negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the mental health of individuals with higher levels of childhood trauma
The findings of this study do not support the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately exacerbated mental health problems in individuals with a history of moderate to severe childhood trauma. Instead, our results suggest that the pandemic's impact on mental health was more pronounced in students with no or only mild childhood trauma
Today’s positive affect predicts tomorrow’s experience of meaningful coincidences
The perception of meaningful patterns in random arrangements and unrelated events takes place in our everyday lives, coined apophenia, synchronicity, or the experience of meaningful coincidences.However, we do not know yet what predicts this phenomenon.To investigate this, we re-analyzed a combined data set of two daily diary studies with a total of N = 169 participants (mean age 29.95 years; 54 men).We investigated if positive or negative affect…
Weder Heim noch Familie
In den 1970er-Jahren etablierten sich im deutschsprachigen Raum sozialpädagogische WGs (Wohngruppen, Wohngemeinschaften) als alternative Angebote der stationären Jugendhilfe. Ihre Entstehungsgeschichte und insbesondere deren geschlechterspezifische Implikationen, die sich bis heute als relevant erweisen, sind bislang kaum erforscht. Anhand zweier Fallbeispiele aus Zürich, Schweiz, und Innsbruck, Österreich, arbeitet die vorliegende Untersuchung h…
Step-by-step to more creativity
Research indicated an association of acute and chronic physical activity with creative ideation performance. However, no study to date applied ecologically valid ambulatory methods with the potential to generalize these positive relationships to everyday life contexts. This study assessed acute and chronic physical activity (i.e., number of steps assessed via acceleration sensors) as well as creative ideation performance (in the verbal and figura…
Toward a neurocognitive framework of creative cognition
Robust prediction of individual creative ability from brain functional connectivity
Significance People’s capacity to generate creative ideas is central to technological and cultural progress. Despite advances in the neuroscience of creativity, the field lacks clarity on whether a specific neural architecture distinguishes the highly creative brain. Using methods in network neuroscience, we modeled individual creative thinking ability as a function of variation in whole-brain functional connectivity. We identified a brain networ…
Serotonin transporter genotype (5-HTTLPR) and electrocortical responses indicating the sensitivity to negative emotional cues
Growing literature indicates that emotional reactivity and regulation are strongly linked to genetic modulation of serotonergic neurotransmission. However, until now, most studies have focused on the relationship between genotypic markers, in particular the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR), and neural structures using MRI. The current study aimed to bridge the gap between the relevant MRI literature on the effects of the…
From Ice Age to Madagascar
The aim of the present study was to examine whether children with Asperger's syndrome differ from typically developing children in the appreciation of and behavioral responses to simple slapstick type humor, in which cognitive requirements that are commonly impaired in autism spectrum disorders are reduced to a minimum. Short slapstick scenes and matched non-humorous control scenes were extracted from popular movies to produce an appropriate humo…
The English Version of the Multidimensional Inventory for Religious/Spiritual Well-Being (MI-RSWB-E)
In recent years there has been a steadily growing interest of religious/spiritual issues in several areas of psychology; a variety of reliable and valid means of assessing the different facets of religiosity/spirituality have been developed. However, there is still some need for multidimensional approaches. With respect to the positive experience with the German version of the Multidimensional Inventory for Religious/Spiritual Well-Being, we deve…
