  • Analyzing the Factor Structure of the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire

    Tobias Janelt, Tobias Altmann et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2024

    (TEQ; Spreng et al., Journal of Personality Assessment, 91(1), 62-71 (2009)) was developed as a brief unidimensional tool by statistically forming a consensus from existing measures of the construct. The present study aimed to (1) validate a German version of the TEQ, and (2) contribute empirical evidence to the ongoing debate regarding a singular versus multidimensional factor structure of the TEQ. One cross-sectional and two longitudinal studie…

  • Interoceptive Accuracy Enhances Deception Detection in Older Adults

    Open AccessAmber Heemskerk, Tian Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024

    Interoceptive accuracy was associated with both lie detection and phishing detection accuracy among older adults. Our findings identify interoceptive accuracy as a potential protective factor for fraud susceptibility, as measured through difficulty detecting deception. These results support interoceptive accuracy as a relevant factor for consideration in interventions targeted at fraud prevention among older adults

  • Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Influencing the Association Between Generativity, the Desire to Promote Well-Being of Younger Generations, and Purpose in Life in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer’s Diseas…

    Open AccessCaitlin S Walker, Linda Li et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referências: 8

    These findings provide insight into how the brain supports complex social behavior and, separately, purpose in life in at-risk aging. Affectionate social support may be a putative target process to enhance purpose in life in older adults. This knowledge contributes to future developments of personalized interventions that promote healthy aging

  • Age Differences in Mental State Inference of Sarcasm

    Open AccessColleen Hughes, Didem Pehlivanoglu et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referências: 4

    We showed that individual variation related to age and social and cognitive performance is more pronounced when the use of multiple mental state cues is more (sarcasm) or less (sincerity) necessary for accurate understanding of social interactions. Naturalistic paradigms involving multiple mental state cues can address important questions about how older adults make decisions in the real world

  • From Precision Medicine to Precision Convergence for Multilevel Resilience—The Aging Brain and Its Social Isolation

    Open AccessLaurette Dubé, Patricia P Silveira et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

  • Facial Trustworthiness Perception Across the Adult Life Span

    Open AccessDidem Pehlivanoglu, Tian Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2022Referências: 8

    Findings from this study highlight the impact of perceiver and facial characteristics on facial trustworthiness perception in adulthood and aging and have potential to inform first impression formation, with effects on trait attributions and behavior. This publication also provides normative data on perceived facial trustworthiness for the FACES Lifespan Database

  • Loneliness Progression Among Older Adults During the Early Phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the United States and Canada

    Open AccessTian Lin, Marilyn Horta et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2021Citada por: 3Referências: 6

    Leveraging a longitudinal, binational data set collected during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study advances understanding of stability and change in loneliness among a North American sample of individuals aged 65 and older faced with the unique challenges of social isolation. These results can inform public health policy in anticipation of future pandemics and highlight the need for targeted intervention to address acute lonelin…

  • Uncovering Susceptibility Risk to Online Deception in Aging

    Open AccessNatalie C Ebner, Donovan M Ellis et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2018Citada por: 6Referências: 4

    Short-term memory, verbal fluency, and positive affect in middle-old age may contribute to resilience against online spear-phishing attacks. These results inform mechanisms of online fraud susceptibility and real-life decision-supportive interventions toward fraud risk reduction in aging

  • The wandering brain

  • Napping and the selective consolidation of negative aspects of scenes

    Open AccessJessica D Payne, Elizabeth A Kensinger et al.ARTICLEEmotion2015

    After information is encoded into memory, it undergoes an offline period of consolidation that occurs optimally during sleep. The consolidation process not only solidifies memories, but also selectively preserves aspects of experience that are emotionally salient and relevant for future use. Here, we provide evidence that an afternoon nap is sufficient to trigger preferential memory for emotional information contained in complex scenes. Selective…

  • The default network and self‐generated thought

    Open AccessJessica R Andrews‐Hanna, Jonathan Smallwood et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the New York Academy of…2014

    Though only a decade has elapsed since the default network (DN) was first defined as a large‐scale brain system, recent years have brought great insight into the network's adaptive functions. A growing theme highlights the DN as playing a key role in internally directed or self‐generated thought. Here, we synthesize recent findings from cognitive science, neuroscience, and clinical psychology to focus attention on two emerging topics as current a…

  • A taxonomy of prospection

    Open AccessKarl K Szpunar, R Nathan Spreng et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Prospection—the ability to represent what might happen in the future—is a broad concept that has been used to characterize a wide variety of future-oriented cognitions, including affective forecasting, prospective memory, temporal discounting, episodic simulation, and autobiographical planning. In this article, we propose a taxonomy of prospection to initiate the important and necessary process of teasing apart the various forms of future thinkin…

  • The Common Neural Basis of Autobiographical Memory, Prospection, Navigation, Theory of Mind, and the Default Mode

    Open AccessR Nathan Spreng, Raymond A Mar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience2009

    A core brain network has been proposed to underlie a number of different processes, including remembering, prospection, navigation, and theory of mind [Buckner, R. L., & Carroll, D. C. Self-projection and the brain. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 11, 49–57, 2007]. This purported network—medial prefrontal, medial-temporal, and medial and lateral parietal regions—is similar to that observed during default-mode processing and has been argued to repre…

  • The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire

    R Nathan Spreng, Margaret C Mckinnon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2009

    To formulate a parsimonious tool to assess empathy, we used factor analysis on a combination of self-report measures to examine consensus and developed a brief self-report measure of this common factor. The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) represents empathy as a primarily emotional process. In 3 studies, the TEQ demonstrated strong convergent validity, correlating positively with behavioral measures of social decoding, self-report measures of…
