Abstract

Abstract Research suggests that people tend to overweight arguments accompanied by neuroscientific terminology, which is dubbed as the seductive allure of neuroscience explanations (SANE) in the literature. Such an effect might be of particular significance when it comes to physicians and mental health professionals (MHP), given that it has the potential to cause significant bias in their understanding as well as their treatment approaches toward psychiatric symptoms. In this study, we aimed to test the SANE effect among Turkish medical students, and assess its uniqueness by comparing it with a discipline that still maintains an important role in contemporary psychiatric training in Turkey: psychoanalysis. 109 medical students with a basic level of knowledge of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience were asked to rate the credibility of explanations of differing quality (good vs. circular) for psychological phenomena, followed by three types of information: none, neuroscientific (SNI) or psychoanalytical (SPI). Our findings showed that SNI significantly increased the judged quality of explanations for both conditions with the effect being more prominent for circular explanations. On the other hand, SPI had no effect on good explanations but enhanced the judged quality of circular explanations in a level comparable to that of SNI. For the first time, the SANE effect was replicated among medical students and provided preliminary data in favor of a similar effect for psychoanalytically oriented information.
诱人的诱惑效应从神经科学延伸到土耳其医学生的精神分析解释:在医学和精神病学培训背景下,有偏见的科学推理的初步含义
研究表明,人们倾向于夸大带有神经科学术语的论点,这在文献中被称为神经科学解释的诱惑性诱惑(SANE)。当涉及到医生和心理健康专业人员(MHP)时,这种影响可能特别重要,因为它有可能导致他们对精神症状的理解和治疗方法产生重大偏差。在本研究中,我们旨在测试土耳其医学生的SANE效果,并通过将其与在土耳其当代精神病学培训中仍然保持重要作用的学科:精神分析学进行比较,评估其独特性。109名具有精神病学和临床神经科学基础知识的医学生被要求对心理现象的不同质量(好与坏)解释的可信度进行评分,其次是三种类型的信息:无,神经科学(SNI)或精神分析(SPI)。我们的研究结果表明,SNI显著提高了两种情况下解释的判断质量,对循环解释的影响更为突出。另一方面,SPI对好的解释没有影响,但在与SNI相当的水平上提高了循环解释的判断质量。这是第一次,在医学生中复制了SANE效应,并提供了初步数据,支持精神分析导向信息的类似效应。
