In line with the hypotheses, both system-justifying worldviews (e.g., authoritarianism and social dominance orientation) and system-challenging worldviews (e.g., need for chaos and prejudice against the rich and powerful) were robustly associated with antidemocratic attitudes, adjusting for other predictors and demographic variables-and these associations were mediated by perceived illegitimacy of the democratic system. Several system-orthogonal aspects of worldviews, including a simplistic epistemology (e.g., lack of actively open-minded thinking) and misperceptions of antidemocratic attitudes among political opponents, also robustly predicted antidemocratic attitudes, while political prejudice, societal discontent, and perceived superiority or the self and ingroup showed less robust effects. At a more specific level, the strongest predictors of support for democratic elections, censorship, political violence, and denying groups their rights were actively open-minded thinking, authoritarianism, need for chaos, and social dominance orientation, respectively. Taken together, the findings contribute to a more unified and nuanced understanding of the psychological underpinnings of antidemocratic attitudes.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145153467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined spatiotemporal brain dynamics when skilled musicians applied different strategies to improvise on a jazz standard. We performed rest and task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging on 16 skilled jazz pianists playing \"Days of Wine and Roses\", with varying levels of improvisation freedom: (1) playing the melody from memory (byHeart); (2) improvising on the melody (iMelody); and (3) freely improvising (iFreely) on the chord changes. Behaviorally, higher levels of improvisational freedom were associated with a larger number of notes, greater melodic entropy, and reduced pitch predictability. Using the Leading Eigenvector Dynamics Analysis (LEiDA), we found increased activity in the reward system for all conditions compared to rest, including the orbito-frontal cortex. In the improvisation conditions compared to rest, there was a significantly higher probability of a brain state comprising auditory and sensorimotor areas related to musical performance and right insula belonging to the posterior salience network. The highest level of improvisational freedom (iFreely) had a higher occurrence of a brain substate, including the default mode, executive control, and language networks. These networks are involved in planning complex behaviors, decision-making, and motor control-all relevant for understanding neural signatures of creativity.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145153468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
