Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.5K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

761
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Antisocial Personality Disorder01:24

Antisocial Personality Disorder

933
Antisocial personality disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by persistent patterns of disregard for the rights and well-being of others. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder exhibit behaviors that include deceitfulness, impulsivity, irresponsibility, aggression, and a profound lack of empathy. These traits often manifest early in life and persist into adulthood, leading to significant personal, social, and legal consequences.

Conduct Disorder

696
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Causes of Social Behavior I: Actions and Characteristics of Individuals

396
The actions and characteristics of others heavily influence the causes of social behaviors. Emotional expressions serve as powerful social signals, shaping behaviors and interactions in significant ways. Whether through direct observation or subconscious processing, individuals constantly adjust their responses based on the emotions and attributes of those around them.Emotional Cues and Social ResponsesFacial expressions, tone of voice, and body language provide crucial emotional cues that...

Bullying

8.9K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

This summary is machine-generated.

Impulsivity traits are linked to distinct cognitive control mechanisms. Motor impulsivity affects proactive and reactive control, while attention impulsivity impacts proactive control in specific brain regions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • The precise relationship between trait impulsivity and cognitive control remains unclear.
  • Cognitive control involves distinct proactive and reactive processes.
  • Impulsivity is a multifaceted trait with components like motor, attention, and non-planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the differential correlations between components of trait impulsivity and specific cognitive control processes.
  • To explore the neural underpinnings of these relationships using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Main Methods:

  • Trait impulsivity was assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS).
  • Cognitive control was measured via a hybrid Stroop task differentiating proactive and reactive control.
  • fMRI was employed to examine brain activity during task performance in 33 participants.

Main Results:

  • Both proactive and reactive control engaged the fronto-parietal network.
  • Higher motor impulsivity correlated with altered proactive control in the inferior parietal lobule and reactive control in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex.
  • Greater attention impulsivity was associated with reduced proactive control in the right DLPFC.

Conclusions:

  • Different components of impulsivity are associated with distinct cognitive control subsystems.
  • These findings suggest a nuanced neural basis for the link between impulsivity and executive functions.
  • The study highlights how specific impulsivity facets may relate to separable neural mechanisms of cognitive control.
