Information is often perceived as a reward, and curiosity can manifest as the intense, even fearless, pursuit of potential rewards. However, curiosity is also considered to be a rational process, requiring individuals to weigh potential risks against anticipated benefits. To investigate the multifaceted nature of curiosity, this study used a cross-lagged panel model to examine the relationships between sensitivity to reward (SR), sensitivity to punishment (SP), and curiosity. A predictive model was then constructed using resting-state functional connectivity data through connectome-based predictive modelling. Building on the cross-lagged panel model results, a mediation analysis was conducted to investigate the mediating roles of SR and SP in the relationship between the predictive network and curiosity. The findings revealed that SR positively predicts curiosity and that the relationship between SP and curiosity is reciprocal and negative, with the negative prediction of SP being significantly stronger. Additionally, a negative curiosity prediction network was identified, with the strongest contributions being intra- and internetwork functional connectivity involving the motor, cerebellar, limbic and medial frontal networks. Finally, the curiosity prediction network was found to operate via the enhancement of SP and attenuation of SR. These findings provide preliminary evidence for associations between SR, SP, and curiosity over time and the incentive-driven yet adaptive nature of curiosity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 112601"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review of the literature examining religiosity and/or spirituality and cardiovascular reactions to acute stress. Electronic databases were systematically searched (PubMed, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, CINAHL and Web of Science). After removal of duplicates, screening titles and abstracts, twelve peer-reviewed studies were included in the review. Overall, the majority of studies reported on an inverse relationship between religiosity and/or spirituality and cardiovascular reactivity, showing higher levels of religiosity and spirituality were associated with attenuated cardiovascular responses. This was particularly evident when measures assessed facets of intrinsic religiosity and focused on internalized spiritual beliefs, focusing on spiritual aspects such as finding meaning and purpose in life. However, in three studies, religiosity and/or spirituality showed exaggerated cardiovascular responses, importantly these studies examined religious/spiritual struggles, indicating that religiosity/spiritual struggles can have a negative impact on health. To date, no study has controlled for religiosity when examining spirituality and cardiovascular reactivity, or vice versa, to explore whether the outcomes differ. Overall, this review highlights that religiosity, and spirituality have potential health benefits for cardiovascular reactivity, however religious/spirituality struggles can diminish these positive effects. It is a priority for future research to clearly define, differentiate and measure the constructs of religiosity and spirituality separately, as both have demonstrated beneficial effects on cardiovascular reactivity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 112596"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144090519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first of these relates the phasic OR to parameters of the eliciting stimulus; the second modulates output via the organism's arousal state, as reflected in the tonic OR. Research on elicitation and habituation of the OR has focussed largely on phasic aspects of the neuronal model/comparator system, with the amplifying system being largely ignored. Here we examine phasic and tonic OR profiles over trials from an auditory habituation/dishabituation study, using both electrodermal and central measures. Phasic OR measures were the skin conductance response (SCR) and the P300 ERP component, and corresponding tonic OR measures were the prestimulus skin conductance level (SCL) and prestimulus EEG alpha (8–13 Hz) amplitude. We predicted that the tonic measures of arousal at each stimulus presentation would modulate the phasic OR measures. The two phasic measures showed extensive rapid decrement over repeated standards, and recovery to a deviant, with a significant positive correlation over trials. Tonic OR measures also showed significant changes over trials, but with a significant negative correlation: decrement in SCL, increment in alpha. As predicted, the phasic OR measures were modulated by the prestimulus tonic OR levels, with large correlations between the phasic and tonic patterns over trials. Our evidence for the predicted tonic-as-amplifier aspect of Sokolovian OR theory opens new theoretical perspectives. Identification of both phasic and tonic peripheral and central measures of the OR should prompt an expansion of OR research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 112597"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144087045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
