OBESITY AND EMOTIONAL AROUSAL AND CONTROL IN CHILDREN AGED 8 TO 11 YEARS
2018
The purpose of this study is to present the results obtained in the base of the opinion of 95 children from general schools of Sibiu city in Romania, collected during a survey regarding emotional reactivity (arousal) and regulatory capacity (control) in early adolescence. Data were stratified by BMI in order to analyze the relationship between obesity and emotional arousal and control in case of young adolescents. A 30-item self-reporting multidimensional instrument HIF (How I Feel) created by Walden, Harris & Carton in 2003 was used. The questionnaire items refer to five different emotions: happy, sad, excited, scared and mad. Significant differences between the three subgroups (normal wei…
Persistence of the effects of the covid-19 lockdown on sleep: A longitudinal study
2021
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep have been widely documented, but longitudinal evaluations during different phases of the “COVID-19 era” are needed to disentangle the specific consequences of the r145estrictive measures on sleep variables. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate effect of the lockdown’s end on sleep and sleep-related dimensions in an Italian sample, also considering the stress and depressive symptoms. We used an online survey to longitudinally collect data on sociodemographic, environmental, clinical, sleep, and sleep-related variables in two time points: during and immediately after the lockdown. The final sample included 102 participants. The large …
A novel arousal-based individual screening reveals susceptibility and resilience to PTSD-like phenotypes in mice
2021
Translational animal models for studying post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are valuable for elucidating the poorly understood neurobiology of this neuropsychiatric disorder. These models should encompass crucial features, including persistence of PTSD-like phenotypes triggered after exposure to a single traumatic event, trauma susceptibility/resilience and predictive validity. Here we propose a novel arousal-based individual screening (AIS) model that recapitulates all these features. The AIS model was designed by coupling the traumatization (24 h restraint) of C57BL/6 J mice with a novel individual screening. This screening consists of z-normalization of post-trauma changes in startle …

Assessment of test-meal induced autonomic arousal in anorexic, bulimic and control females
1998
This study attempted to measure three different physiological responses to food intake in eating disordered subjects. Skin conductance level (SCL), heart rate and electroencephalogram were recorded before, during and after a test-meal in 42 females (14 anorexic inpatients, 10 bulimic outpatients and 18 control subjects). Significant increase in SCL during the meal was found in anorexics only. Pre-meal SCL was lower in bulimics than in controls and anorexics. No changes were found on heart rate or electroencephalogram in all groups of subjects. This suggests that anorexic inpatients may display a measurable arousal when confronted with a meal, whereas bulimic outpatients and control subjects…

Reacción emocional ante la exposición involuntaria a cibersexo en adolescentes: factores moduladores
2019
Los avances realizados durante los últimos años en el ámbito de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación han favorecido un uso generalizado de internet. La población adolescente utiliza Internet de forma natural y habitual para comunicarse, entretenerse y realizar tareas escolares. Si bien son múltiples los beneficios derivados del uso de internet, es necesario considerar que no está exento de riesgos como puede ser la exposición involuntaria (EI) a material sexual. Dadas las consecuencias que dicha exposición puede tener (sobre todo en edades tempranas), nuestro objetivo ha sido analizar las principales reacciones a nivel emocional durante la EI a material sexual, explorando posibl…
Groove Experience: Emotional and Physiological Responses to Groove-Based Music
2009
Theories of music and emotion suggest that subjective affective experience and physiological arousal are elicited by anticipation of musical-structural events. However, little is known about to what extent groove-based music elicits such expectancies, and consequently how it is experienced. Due to the repetitiveness of the groove, it was hypothesised that microtiming in groove might facilitate a type of arousal that is not peak-based, but rather reflects the groove state of listening, which has been conceptualized as a steady mental state in synchronization with the music. An initial qualitative interview study with three groove-based music producers and musicians investigated the subjectiv…
Personas mayores en riesgo: uso del preservativo ante las infidelidades
2019
Si bien las infecciones de transmisión sexual suelen relacionarse con etapas evolutivas tempranas, estudios recientes ponen el foco de atención en la población más mayor. Sin embargo, pocos esfuerzos centran su atención en dicho colectivo, entre otros motivos, por la propia invisibilización de su sexualidad. Esto ocurre todavía más, cuando se trata de conductas penalizadas socialmente, como sería el caso de la infidelidad. Por este motivo, el presente estudio busca analizar la conducta de uso del preservativo en personas mayores, en el contexto de la infidelidad, así como el papel que podrían jugar variables psicológicas y nuevos contextos sexuales, como internet. Para ello, 244 personas (4…
Quantifying Intermodal Distraction by Emotion During Math Performance: An Electrophysiological Approach
2019
Emotionally engaging stimuli are powerful competitors for limited attention capacity. In the cognitive neuroscience laboratory, the presence of task-irrelevant emotionally arousing visual distractors prompts decreased performance and attenuated brain responses measured in concurrent visual tasks. The extent to which distraction effects occur across different sensory modalities is not yet established, however. Here, we examined the extent and time course of competition between a naturalistic distractor sound and a visual task stimulus, using dense-array electroencephalography (EEG) recordings from 20 college students. Steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs) were quantified from EEG, e…
