Levels of Reported Depression, Boredom Salience, and Sexual Boredom as a Function of Length of Time on Antidepressant Medications
Boredom is linked to numerous negative psychological conditions, yet remains critically under-researched. Individuals with depression frequently experience boredom, yet the relationship between boredom and antidepressants remains largely unexplored. We investigated the associations between antidepressants and various dimensions of boredom using an online sample (N = 251). This study focused on SSRIs, the most frequently prescribed antidepressant,…
When Inequity Leads to Boredom
While theoretical connections between social inequity and boredom have been established, empirical evidence is lacking. Inequity aversion is important in this relationship. If individuals believe that the amount of work invested in pursuing an outcome has been unfairly devalued in relation to the investment of others, they may feel that their investment is greater than the outcome's worth. This experimental study explores whether devaluation of o…
Expressed emotion and reflective functioning across the schizotypy spectrum
Hurts so good
In the field of emotion regulation studies, cognitive reappraisal has been established as the preferred strategy for coping with painful negative feelings. For some, however, asking them to think more about an already distressing situation can be quite literally pulling teeth. Indeed, many people voluntarily cause themselves physical pain during upsetting situations (e.g., getting a deep tissue massage after a stressful week or hitting a punching…
Alterations in positive affect
These findings expand conceptualizations of anhedonia and emotional numbing by drawing attention to negative affect in otherwise positive contexts. (PsycINFO Database Record
Schematic Processing of Cigarette Smoking and Drinking Information
The present study attempted to test the hypothesis that the correlation between cigarette smoking and alcohol use may be partly attributable to a cross-substance facilitation/inhibition effect in which schematic processes derived from personal experience with one substance (i.e., alcohol or cigarettes) facilitates or inhibits the processing of information associated with the other. In the present study, the schematic processing of smoking and dri…
Attitude toward Medication and Perceived Competence among Chronically Psychotic Patients
19 chronically psychotic outpatients who had consistently expressed doubt about their need for psychotropic medication provided significantly more inflated estimates of their performance on a problem-solving task than 18 subjects who had not expressed such skepticism. The findings are consistent with the view that the observed relationship between denial of deficits and noncompliance with treatment among psychotic individuals is a function of a b…
