Intrinsic resting-state connectivity and personal meaning across the transition to fatherhood
New fatherhood is marked by profound psychological and neural transformations. While these changes can be stressful, many fathers also report increased life satisfaction associated with parenthood. Personal meaning-the subjective sense that life has purpose, meaning, and coherence-may reflect positive adaptation to parenthood. This study investigated how personal meaning across the transition to fatherhood is associated with both psychological an…
Individual differences in aesthetic experience point to the role of bodily awareness in political orientation
Aesthetic chills are a peak response characterized by shivers and goosebumps in response to stimuli such as music or speech. In a previous study of 2947 California participants, conservatives and liberals reported experiencing chills with similar frequency when exposed to prevalidated audiovisual stimuli, but conservatism was associated with more intense chills. The present preregistered study examines whether this correlation was due to religios…
Behavioral and neural evidence for difficulty recognizing masked emotional faces
Facial emotion recognition is vital for human social behavior. During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks were widely adopted for viral mitigation and remain crucial public health tools. However, questions persist about their impact on emotion recognition and neural processing, especially in children, parents, and young adults. We developed the Masked Affective and Social Cognition task, featuring masked and unmasked faces displaying fear, sadness,…
Bittersweet: The Neuroscience of Ambivalent Affect
Ambivalent affective states, such as bittersweetness, nostalgia, and longing, which are felt as having both positive and negative aspects, are an important component of human experience but have received little attention. The most influential theoretical frameworks in affective neuroscience focus largely on univalenced states. As a result, it is not known whether ambivalent affect corresponds to a simultaneously positive and negative valenced sta…
