An important factor is incidental changes in affective states, such as variations in mood between happiness and sadness. We previously developed a computational model, in which mood affects choice by forming a predisposition to face costs and seek more rewards. Here, we generalized this theory to account for how specific inductions of happiness and sadness affect different types of economic decisions involving a tradeoff between costs (risk, delay, effort) and benefits (financial rewards). Across exploratory and confirmatory studies (N = 94), we observed a consistent bias exerted by transitory mood states, whether they were assessed through self-reports (rated happiness minus sadness) or inferred from physiological measures (valence of facial expression times intensity of autonomous arousal). This choice bias was best explained by our computational model, with a mood-scaled bonus added to the value of the more rewarded but more costly option, irrespective of the cost type (risk, delay or effort). Additionally, gaze tracking during decision making confirmed that the choice bias was driven by an early preference for the mood-congruent option. Together, these results demonstrate the feasibility of predicting irrational choices from objective measures of affective states.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969019/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143782269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We manipulated interpolated activity (participants saw review slides or answered short quiz questions) and onscreen distractions (control, memes, TikTok). Our results showed that interpolated retrieval enhanced online learning for both student groups, but this benefit was moderated by onscreen distractions. Surprisingly, the presence of TikTok videos produced an ironic effect of distraction-it enhanced learning for students in the interpolated review condition, allowing them to perform similarly to students who took the interpolated quizzes. Moreover, we showed in an exploratory analysis that the intervention-induced learning improvements were mediated by a composite measure of engaged learning, thus providing a mechanistic account of our findings. Finally, our data provided preliminary evidence that interpolated retrieval practice might reduce the achievement gap for Black students.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11965562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite decades of extensive neuropsychological exploration, this syndrome has still not revealed all its mysteries. Here we present the case of a person with visuospatial neglect who spontaneously produced 40 paintings in the 3 years following his stroke. By analysing the spatial distribution of colour entropy in these paintings over the course of recovery we found that these paintings contain perturbations that include changes in colour use. This approach, borrowed from statistical physics and information theory, revealed left-right asymmetries in boundary line length of monochromatic patches as well as in colour components. While the unpainted canvas surface disappeared as soon as 26 weeks post-stroke, left-right colour patch asymmetries displayed a slower recovery over one hundred weeks. Several hypotheses that can be tested in future research emerged from this study, including the possibility that these phenomenological findings demonstrate several distinct recovery mechanisms at work.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11947236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People high in social avoidance report perceiving little affiliation and power in their social lives. Do they also make low affiliation and low power interaction choices in actual social interactions? We hypothesized that social avoidance can be quantified as navigation in an abstract social space framed by power and affiliation. To test this, we recruited two large samples of online participants (Initial sample n = 579, Validation sample n = 255) to complete a naturalistic social interaction game where they form relationships with fictional characters, and a battery of questionnaires. Factor analysis of the questionnaires revealed a social avoidance factor that related to a low affiliation and low power interaction style, which was reflected in large social distance between the participants and characters. This distance, in turn, was related to smaller and less complex real-world social networks-suggesting that this abstract behavioral geometry reflects real-life behavioral tendencies. Language analysis of post-task character descriptions found semantic representations that mirrored the relationships formed in the task, with social avoidance relating to more negative impressions. This approach suggests that social avoidance can be thought of as an abstract, two-dimensional navigational strategy, potentially leading to effective strategies for social skills training and therapy.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11936828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assuming a prioritization of self-preservation in old age, we expected that reduced negative (and elevated positive) emotions would be associated with increased everyday goal pursuit. These links were expected to be moderated by goal representations such that positive emotions would be more strongly linked to greater goal pursuit when goals were represented as hopes, whereas negative emotions would be less strongly linked to reduced goal pursuit when goals were represented as fears. We used up to 21 surveys from 236 individuals collected over 7 days (Age: Mean = 70.5, 60-87 years). Multilevel models revealed that more intense positive emotional experiences and less intense negative emotional experiences were each associated with elevated everyday goal pursuit. As expected, hoped-for goals were associated with stronger positive emotion-goal pursuit associations. Feared goals were associated with weaker negative emotion (particularly worry)-goal pursuit links. Moderations were limited to the most salient goal. These findings provide insights into how everyday emotion dynamics and goal pursuit may be shaped by the way older adults represent their goals.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11936831/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating insights from cognitive and personality psychology with reinforcement learning, we introduce Self-Utility Distance (SUD)-a metric quantifying the dissimilarities between individuals' self-concept attributes and their expected utility value. In Study 1 (n = 155), participants provided self- and expected utility ratings using a set of predefined adjectives. SUD showed a significant negative relationship with Self-Concept Clarity that persisted after accounting for individuals' Self-Esteem. In Study 2 (n = 323), we found that SUD provides incremental predictive accuracy over Ideal-Self and Ought-Self discrepancies in the prediction of Self-Concept Clarity. In Study 3 (n = 85), we investigated the mechanistic principles underlying Self-Utility Distance. Participants conducted a social learning task where they learned about trait utilities from a reference group. We formalized different computational models to investigate the strategies individuals use to adjust trait utility estimates in response to environmental feedback. Through Hierarchical Bayesian Inference, we found evidence that participants utilized their self-concept to modulate trait utility learning, effectively avoiding the maximization of Self-Utility Distance. Our findings provide insights into self-concept dynamics that might help understand the maintenance of adaptive and maladaptive traits.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937342/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examines multi-scale temporal changes in predictability in Child-directed songs. We developed a technique based on Kolmogorov complexity to quantify the rate of change of textual information content over time. This method was applied to a corpus of 922 English, Spanish, and French publicly available child and adult-directed texts. Child-directed song lyrics (CDSongs) showed overall lower complexity compared to Adult-directed songs (ADsongs), and lower complexity was associated with a higher number of YouTube views. CDSongs showed a relatively higher information rate at the beginning and end compared to ADSongs. CDSongs and ADSongs showed a non-uniform information rate, but these periodic oscillatory patterns were more predictable in CDSongs compared to ADSongs. These findings suggest that the optimal balance between predictability and expressivity in information content differs between child- and adult-directed content, but also changes over timescales to potentially support multiple children's needs.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933259/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The perception of sensory information and subsequent responses, such as boredom, however, vary across situations and individuals, impressively depicted by patients with attentional disorders who show extensive boredom across many situations. Despite these implications, it remains unclear how environmental features and individual traits act together to allow effective transmission of sensory information, and how both factors relate to boredom experience. We present a framework to address this issue, exposing human participants to text stimuli with defined objective information content, while assessing perceived information, boredom and text sentiment. Using information theory to formalize external and internal factors of information transmission, we find that lower information transmission predicts higher boredom. Moreover, individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder show lower information transmission, compared to a control sample. Together, delineating the interaction of sensory information content with individual traits, boredom emerges as a situational consequence of reduced information-decoding, heightened in ADHD.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933452/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
