However, the specific brain regions associated with the process of conceptual expansion remain unclear, particularly in the field of divergent thinking. In the present study, we examined neural correlates of conceptual expansion in the alternate uses task (AUT). Specifically, during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning, participants were asked to process a set of creative AUT ideas, each consisting of a common object and a corresponding alternate use, and then in the post-scan phase, they were required to evaluate the degree of conceptual expansion for each AUT idea (i.e., compared with the familiar concept, the extent to which the AUT idea could expand the conceptual boundaries of the object). By linking the behavioral assessments with brain activation, the results showed that greater engagement of the posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG) was involved in the processing of creative AUT ideas with higher conceptual expansion, which aligns with previous findings from other creative domains such as insight problem solving and creative product design. Given the recognized function of the pMTG in conceptual processing, our findings indicate that the pMTG may specifically support the forming of new conceptual categories in AUT.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144529418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the relationship between Glu levels of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and NSS, particularly sensory integration, in individuals with high and low levels of social anhedonia using 3 Tesla (T) and 7T Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). We recruited 16 participants with high social anhedonia and 18 with low social anhedonia and correlated their NSS scores with ACC Glu levels. While spectral quality metrics differed between field strengths, with 7T showing better spectral resolution and metabolite quantification reliability, both 3T and 7T data showed consistent correlation patterns. Our findings demonstrated that higher ACC Glu levels were associated with poorer sensory integration in high levels of social anhedonia across both field strengths, supported by both Pearson and Spearman rank correlations. Notably, the opposite pattern of association was found in people with low levels of social anhedonia at 7T. The Glu systems may be the common mechanisms for negative symptoms and NSS, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144529415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown that the cognitive resource competition of FORs will lead to FOR-based conflicts (e.g., egocentric-intrinsic, intrinsic-intrinsic) and their interactions. However, it remains unclear whether these conflicts and their interactions occur during the cognitive process stage of stimulus-representation, response-selection, or both. In our study, on the basis of a modified two-cannon task, the spatial congruency and response congruency of two cannons (intrinsic FORs anchored) were manipulated to localize the two process stages of intrinsic-intrinsic conflict. The results revealed that intrinsic-intrinsic conflict was affected by both factors, indicating that response time (RT) in the spatially incongruent condition was longer than that in the spatially congruent condition and that RT in the response incongruent condition was longer than that in the response congruent condition. Furthermore, an interaction between egocentric-intrinsic and intrinsic-intrinsic conflicts was observed, showing that the egocentric-intrinsic conflict did not change between the spatially congruent and incongruent conditions but increased from the response congruent condition to the response incongruent condition. These findings suggest that intrinsic-intrinsic conflict occurs in both the stimulus-representation and response-selection stages, whereas egocentric-intrinsic conflict occurs only in the response-selection stage. The two conflicts share a common conflict processing mechanism in the response-selection stage.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144529417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study investigated if a brief writing intervention could combat the negative impact of recalled performance failures in a sample of competitive athletes. Initially, the athletes recalled an instance of a significant performance failure. Next, an Intervention group completed an expressive writing task based on the principles of cognitive restructuring and reframing, and a Control group completed a neutral writing task. The results indicated that both groups showed improvements in the outcome measures from pre-test to post-test. However, the magnitude of the reduced self-critical rumination behaviors, increased positive affect, and reduced negative affect was greater in the Intervention group than in the Control group. The current study highlights how an expressive writing task can combat negative rumination thoughts and affective reactions. Such brief interventions could be used by athletes during a break in a game or immediately following a game to address performance failures as they happen.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144512421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anxiety and depression have become increasingly prevalent, leading to the necessity for further examining their relationship and comorbidity. This study used the network analysis to investigate the interaction and causal relationship in the anxiety-depression network among Chinese college students during the pandemic. A longitudinal survey with two specific points among 705 college students were conducted from 12 December to 30 December 2022 (lockdown period, T1), and from 8 February to 13 March 2023 (lockdown lift period, T2). Contemporaneous network and cross-lagged panel network (CLPN) analysis were conducted to examine the issue from both cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives. Both contemporaneous networks exhibited extensive links between anxiety and depression symptoms. The key central symptom was \"STAI16: [Not] content\" at T1, and was \"STAI15: [Not] relaxed\" at T2. CLPN analysis suggested that \"STAI15: [Not] relaxed\" had the highest in-prediction, while \"STAI13: Jittery\" had the highest out-prediction. The strongest transdiagnostic prediction was from \"BDI6: Punishment\" to \"STAI9: Frightened\", and the bridge symptoms in both contemporaneous networks and CLPN included overlaps like \"STAI11: [Not] self-confident\" and \"STAI14: Indecisive\", which served as important symptoms contributing to anxiety-depression comorbidity. These findings provide new insights into the causal relationships between depression and anxiety before and after lockdown lift, shed light on the comorbidity factors, and provide support for targeted interventions to address mental health challenges faced by college students in public crisis.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144497942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have taken environmental factors into account. We do not know the specific performance of different curiosities regarding traffic risky behavior (TRB) after introducing public attitudes. Epistemic curiosity is the desire for new knowledge or information. There are two types: interest curiosity and deprivation curiosity. Based on the uncertainty-identity theory and the interest/deprivation model of curiosity, we explored the impact of epistemic curiosity on TRB and the mediating role of conformity. Study 1 employed a cross-sectional design with mediation effect tests. Study 2 employed two substudies, further exploring the specific performance of different levels of interest/deprivation curiosity through a 2 × 2 mixed design and elaborating on the causal relationships between the variables. Study 1 revealed a positive correlation between interest curiosity and TRB, but no such correlation was found between deprivation curiosity and TRB. Mediation test results showed that conformity fully mediated the relationship between deprivation curiosity and TRB, while it could not explain the relationship between interest curiosity and TRB. Study 2 results showed that people with higher levels of deprivation curiosity could be influenced by public attitudes to change their attitudes toward TRB. Our findings provide empirical evidence for distinguishing between different types of epistemic curiosity, as well as a new explanatory mechanism for the emergence of TRBs.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144333794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most studies focus on lighting's effect on sleep, confined spaces are now more often used for short-term work-rest cycles, especially in office settings. This study explores how lighting conditions affect alertness, cognitive performance, and physiological metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV) during work-rest cycles in confined spaces. Participants performed 2-back tasks, psychomotor vigilance tasks (PVT), and completed subjective scales under six lighting conditions, combining two levels of illuminance (300, 500 lx) and three color temperatures (2800, 5000, 6500 K). Results show higher subjective alertness during work with 300 lx and 5000 K. However, lighting conditions did not significantly affect subjective alertness during rest. Objective alertness was better at 300 lx, with 2800 outperforming 5000 K. Working memory accuracy was higher at 5000 compared with 6500 K, and reaction times were faster under 300 lx. Physiological data remained consistent across lighting conditions. These findings can inform future lighting design and management in confined spaces to improve comfort and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
