To better understAnd these challenges, we investigated the subjective experience and neural correlAtes of self- conscious emotion (SCE) processing in autistic adolescent mAles compared to age- And IQ- mAtched neurotypicAl (NT) adolescents (ages 11-17). Study I investigated group differences in SCE attributions (the ability to recognize SCEs) and empathic SCEs (the ability/tendency to feel empathic SCEs) and the potentiAl modulAtory role of heightened perspective-tAking (PT) demAnds. Furthermore, Study I explored associAtions between SCE processing, a triAd of sociAl cognitive abilities (self-AwAreness/introspection, perspective-tAking/cognitive empathy, and Affective empathy), and Autistic feAtures. Study II investigated group differences in neural Activation patterns recruited during SCE processing and the potentiAl modulAtory role of heightened PT demAnds. During an MRI scAn, participants completed the Self-Conscious Emotions TAsk (SCET), which feAtured sAlient, ecologicAl video clips of adolescents in a singing competition. Videos represented two factors: emotion (embarrassment, pride) and PT demAnds (low, high). In low PT clips, singers’ emotions mAtched the situational context (singing quality; sing poorly, act embarrassed); in high PT clips, they did not (sing well, act embarrassed).

  • 2018 Ibangs Meeting: the 20Th Annual Genes, Brain & Behavior Meeting
    5/25/2018 Program for Thursday, May 17th 2018 IBANGS MEETING: THE 20TH ANNUAL GENES, BRAIN & BEHAVIOR MEETING WELCOME PROGRAM INDEXES PROGRAM FOR THURSDAY, MAY 17TH Days: next day all days View: session overview talk overview 08:30-16:00 Session FV: Pre-IBANGS Satellite Meeting, Functional Validation for Neurogenetics Location: Phillips Hall in the Siebens building room 1-11. The Siebens building is located at the Downtown Mayo Clinic Campus (not the Mayo Civic Center). Description:The transformative nature of next generation sequencing has changed how neuroscientists approach genomic sequence variation. Highly multiplexed molecular testing is providing an expanded level of information from which to make informed phenotypic predictions. The importance of this is reflected in the unprecedented expansion of genomic testing to determine the basis of neurologic conditions. Genomic testing results in many instances provide a definitive basis of a neurologic condition. However, in almost a high proportion of cases, the genomic sequencing results are confounded by the ambiguity of variants with uncertain clinical significance. Herein lies the key with which institutions will lead in the area of genomic medicine. There exists a critical need to provide a mechanism by which uncertain findings can be functionally characterized and translated into clinically actionable results. It is within thisr ealm that academic societies such as IBANGS can have a substantial and informative role on the future of clinical research and practice. This symposium will introduce the challenges and opportunities that exist in the field of human clinical neurogenetics and follow this with presentations of active work in the field of functional genetic finding validation for neurogenetics with a look to the future of genomic neurogenetics.

The results indicated that publicity induced activations in mentalizing areas and failures led to activations in arousal processing systems.

  • The Distancing-Embracing Model of the Enjoyment of Negative Emotions in Art Reception
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2017), Page 1 of 63 doi:10.1017/S0140525X17000309, e347 The Distancing-Embracing model of the enjoyment of negative emotions in art reception Winfried Menninghaus1 Department of Language and Literature, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, 60322 Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Valentin Wagner Department of Language and Literature, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, 60322 Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Julian Hanich Department of Arts, Culture and Media, University of Groningen, 9700 AB Groningen, The Netherlands [email protected] Eugen Wassiliwizky Department of Language and Literature, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, 60322 Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Thomas Jacobsen Experimental Psychology Unit, Helmut Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg, 22043 Hamburg, Germany [email protected] Stefan Koelsch University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway [email protected] Abstract: Why are negative emotions so central in art reception far beyond tragedy? Revisiting classical aesthetics in the light of recent psychological research, we present a novel model to explain this much discussed (apparent) paradox. We argue that negative emotions are an important resource for the arts in general, rather than a special license for exceptional art forms only. The underlying rationale is that negative emotions have been shown to be particularly powerful in securing attention, intense emotional involvement, and high memorability, and hence is precisely what artworks strive for. Two groups of processing mechanisms are identified that conjointly adopt the particular powers of negative emotions for art’s purposes.

  • A Study on the Embarrassment of Senders Who Missend Emojis With
    Liu et al. Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica (2020) 33:20 Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica https://doi.org/10.1186/s41155-020-00159-4 RESEARCH Open Access A study on the embarrassment of senders who missend emojis with opposite meanings on social apps: taking WeChat as an example Liyuan Liu1,2 , Yen Hsu2*, Jie Zhang3 and Qianling Jiang4 Abstract With the increasing popularity of social apps, sending emojis has become a very common way of expressing one’s emotions. However, situations often arise when people send the wrong emoji by mistake, or sometimes even an emoji with an opposite meaning, which can cause embarrassment to the sender. Taking WeChat as an example, which is widely used in Chinese communities, this study summarizes 10 types of dialogue situations in which the meaning of an emoji is wrongly sent and 12 types of emotional components that are related to embarrassment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent to which the 12 emotional components that are associated with embarrassment actually explain what embarrassment is, as well as the different degrees of embarrassment among the different genders and age groups. The results showed that (1) among the emotional components of embarrassment, shame has the highest explanation degree for embarrassment; (2) males are more likely to be affected by embarrassment than females; and (3) users aged 18–25 and 26–30 years are more likely to be affected by embarrassment than those aged between 31 and 40 when they mistakenly send WeChat emojis. This study provides a reference value for their sustainable psychological impact on social app users.
