Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.4K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Role of Affect in Interpersonal Attraction01:24

Role of Affect in Interpersonal Attraction

239
Affect plays a crucial role in shaping interpersonal evaluations and perceptions. Emotions influence how individuals judge and respond to others, often determining whether interactions are viewed positively or negatively. This effect can manifest directly through interactions with the person in question or indirectly via associations with unrelated emotional experiences.Direct Effects of Affect on AttractionAffect directly influences interpersonal attraction when a person’s behavior...

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation

Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Depressants

481
Depressant drugs, including alcohol and sedative-hypnotics, diminish central nervous system activity by enhancing the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity and promotes relaxation. These substances can have various therapeutic uses but also pose significant risks, especially when misused or combined.
Alcohol is a common depressant that can induce a sense of relaxation and reduced inhibition at low doses. Contrary to its occasional...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

592
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

The Influence of Affect on Cognition01:29

The Influence of Affect on Cognition

307
Positive affect significantly influences cognitive processes, including evaluation, memory, creativity, and social judgments. Compared to negative affect, positive emotional states promote more favorable interpretations of stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and heuristic processing. These effects highlight emotions' powerful role in shaping how individuals perceive, remember, and interact with the world.Influence on Evaluation and AttributionWhen individuals experience positive affect, they are...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychology

Background:

  • Peer victimization is a significant risk factor for adolescent mental health.
  • Understanding protective factors is crucial for mitigating negative outcomes.
  • Self-continuity, the sense of enduring selfhood, has been proposed as a potential buffer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether self-continuity moderates the relationship between peer victimization and depressed affect in early adolescents.
  • To examine the protective role of self-continuity in negative peer environments.

Main Methods:

  • Two longitudinal studies were conducted with early adolescents (ages 10-13).
  • Study 1 (N=141) and Study 2 (N=100) assessed self-continuity and peer victimization.
  • Statistical analyses examined the moderating effect of self-continuity on depressed affect.

Main Results:

  • Both studies found that self-continuity significantly moderated the association between peer victimization and depressed affect.
  • Self-continuity acted as a buffer, diminishing the negative impact of victimization on mood.
  • In Study 2, this effect remained significant after controlling for variables like self-esteem and hopelessness.

Conclusions:

  • Self-continuity plays a protective role for adolescents experiencing peer victimization.
  • Fostering a strong sense of self-continuity may be a valuable intervention strategy for adolescent mental health.
  • Findings highlight the importance of self-continuity in navigating challenges in negative peer environments.
