The Psychological Cost of Rigidity
Young individuals often experience executive functioning challenges, such as attentional lapses, impulsivity, and poor self-regulation, which may indicate underlying prefrontal dysfunction and contribute to stress and emotional dysregulation. Research suggests that specific personality traits, particularly harm avoidance and self-directedness, are closely related to these executive difficulties. Harm avoidance refers to a temperament trait charac…
Blood ammonia and eye-hand coordination negatively affect health-related quality of life in women with minimal hepatic encephalopathy
The findings underscore the sex-specific impacts of MHE, with women disproportionately affected by ammonia-related motor impairments and their subsequent influence on HRQoL. These results could contribute to developing targeted strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population
Subjective memory complaints in young people
OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the origin and associated factors of subjective memory complaints (SMCs) in the young population, although they might be closely related to the psychophysiological states produced by stress exposure, such as anxiety and depression. In this regard, resilience has been related to a reduction in these negative states, as well as to more adaptive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning. We aimed to inves…
The effects of left dorsolateral prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation on episodic future thinking following acute psychosocial stress
Introduction Research on stress-related disorders and brain imaging suggests that (acute) stress might impact the capacity to mentally simulate specific episodic future events (EFT) through the effects of cortisol on brain regions supporting this cognitive function, such as the prefrontal cortices. This study aims to examine the mechanisms underlying this link, using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) over the left dorsolateral prefro…
Hormonal changes of intimate partner violence perpetrators in response to brief social contact with women
This study investigated whether men with a history of real‐life aggressive, dominant behavior show increases in testosterone and cortisol levels after brief social contact with women. Furthermore, we tested the prediction that such changes in hormones would be larger than those observed previously in young male students. Sixty‐seven male participants convicted of intimate partner violence (IPV) either had brief social contact with a female confed…
Importance of Personality for Objective and Subjective-Physical Health in Older Men and Women
Objective and subjective health generally have a positive relationship, although their association may be moderated by factors such as gender and personality. We aimed to analyze the association between personality and objective (metabolic syndrome (MetS)) and subjective-physical health in older men and women. For this purpose, in 138 participants (53.6% women, Mage = 66.85), neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, and agreeablene…
Relationship between Cortisol Changes during the Night and Subjective and Objective Sleep Quality in Healthy Older People
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the nighttime cortisol release was associated with subjective and objective sleep quality and the discrepancy between them. Forty-five healthy older adults (age range from 56 to 75 years) collected salivary samples immediately before sleep and immediately after awakening on two consecutive nights. Actigraphy was used to assess objective sleep quality and quantity. A sleep diary was used to assess s…
Stress Response and Appetite Regulation in Overweight and Normal-Weight Young Men
Hormonal changes after competition predict sex‐differentiated decision‐making
Recent neuroendocrinology research has pointed out that testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) changes after social interactions can predict risk‐taking behavior in decision‐making, depending on the sex of participants. However, previous research has focused on the effects of the changes in only one hormone, rather than the interaction between them, even though C can suppress T activity. Our aim was to test, in men and women, the role of T changes mod…
