This study investigated whether there are gender differences in children's understanding of hidden emotions. Additionally, it explored whether there are gender differences in hidden emotion understanding in different social contexts (peer vs. family) and for different emotion categories (submissive emotions vs. disharmonious emotions). Our sample included 27 children aged four to six years and 17 ...

Humans display an ability to rapidly adapt behaviour to novelly instructed relations. Instructions typically bind known stimuli and responses in novel ways that must be retained for future implementation, which can induce unintentional effects on a secondary task. This effect can be adjusted based on the degree of preparation for the retained instruction. Cues can be used to explicitly signal upcoming ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect time-pressure and incentives have on deliberate reasoning. A person’s tendency to engage in and enjoy processes that require reasoning, i.e., their need for cognition, and their algorithmic ability are factors that may moderate performance in reasoning tasks when they are under time-pressure or given monetary reward. Identifying how to increase ...

Hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke om imitasjon i løpet av de første leveårene kan forklares av engasjement. Dette ble undersøkt gjennom å kartlegge barnets blikk mot eksperimentet under demonstrasjonen av en objektrelatert handling, samt ved å kartlegge barnets håndteringer av objektet under eksperimentfasen. Deretter ble frekvens av imitative handlinger kartlagt basert på barnets håndteringer ...

Background - The health care is likely to break down unless we are able to increase the level of functioning for the growing number of patients with complex, chronic illnesses. Hence, novel high-capacity and cost-effective treatments with trans-diagnostic effects are warranted. In accordance with the protocol paper, we aimed to examine the acceptability, satisfaction, and effectiveness of an ...

This study aims to investigate the underlying neurobiological mechanisms that regulate natural reward seeking behaviors, specifically in the context of sexual behavior and sucrose self-administration. The role of CaMKIIa+neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) was explored using chemogenetic silencing and -stimulation. Additionally, the study examined how these effects ...

In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration approved two drugs for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women which have been tested in preclinical tests with positive effects on some appetitive sexual behavior in female rats. Some years after their commercial release, the effectiveness of both drugs in women is not clear. In the present chapter, we present some ...

Bakgrunn: Rundt halvparten av seksuelle overgrep mot barn og unge begås av jevnaldrende, likevel vet vi lite om forskjeller i risikofaktorer og helsekonsekvenser relatert til om overgriperen har vært voksen eller jevnaldrende. Formål: Studien undersøker risikofaktorer, psykisk helse og livskvalitet relatert til seksuelle overgrep, og forskjeller relatert til om overgrepet ble begått av voksne eller ...
