Research priorities for the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that has caused the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represents the greatest international biopsychosocial emergency the world has faced for a century, and psychological science has an integral role to offer in helping societies recover. The aim of this paper is to set out the shorter- and longer-term priorities for research in psychological science that will (a) frame t…
The effects of improving sleep on mental health (Oasis)
BACKGROUND: Sleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads to a reduction in paranoia and hallucinations. METHODS: We did this single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with insomnia were randomly assigned (1:1) with sim…
P1-429 Testosterone, cortisol
Introduction Testosterone levels fall with age hence men with higher levels may show better physical performance in later life, though current evidence is inconsistent. An elevated cortisol to testosterone ratio has been associated with metabolic dysfunction and may reflect chronic stress. No previous study has looked at the cortisol to testosterone (C/T) ratio and physical performance in later life. We examined the relationship between total tes…
Correlates and Predictors of Self-reported Psychological and Physical Morbidity in Chronic Caregiver Stress
An investigation was conducted to explore: (1) whether psychological and physical morbidity share similar psychosocial determinants; (2) the long-term stability of these determinants; and (3) the role of neuroticism in predicting psychological and physical morbidity. Fifty spousal caregivers of dementia patients were recruited into a 12-month study. Participants were followed up at six-monthly interva ls during which they completed scales measuri…
The Role of Stressors and Psychosocial Variables in the Stress Process
OBJECTIVE: An investigation was conducted 1) to examine the relative importance of stressor types (ie, daily hassles, caregiving-specific stressors, and life events) on the stress response, 2) to assess the stability of relationships between psychosocial variables and stress over a 6-month period, and 3) to explore how the nature and magnitude of the contributions made by stressors and psychosocial factors to the stress process varied according t…
Reversible, long‐term inhibition of ovulation with a gonadotropin‐releasing hormone antagonist in the marmoset monkey ( Callithrix jacchus )
The effects of weekly injections of a gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (GnRHa) ([N‐acetyl‐DβNal1‐D‐pCl‐Phe2‐D‐Phe3‐D‐Arg6‐Phe7‐Arg8D‐Ala10] NH2 GnRH) on pituitary and ovarian function were examined in the marmoset monkey, Callithrix jacchus . In experiment 1, five cyclic females were given weekly injections of vehicle (50% propylene glycol in saline) for 6 weeks followed by GnRHa for 20 weeks, animals receiving either 200 μg GnRHa…
