Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

164
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Internal Receptors01:31

Internal Receptors

73.0K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Cognitive Dissonance

35.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Internal and External Forces

15.4K
Newton's first law states that a net external force causes a change in motion. External forces act on an object or system, originating outside of the object or system. In contrast, internal forces originate inside the system of interest and do not lead to any acceleration. In simpler words, internal forces are forces that act on one part of an object and are exerted by another part of the same object. External forces are forces that act on an object due to some other object. Therefore, when...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self Within Cultural Contexts01:30

Self Within Cultural Contexts

79
Cultural frameworks for understanding the self are often categorized into two broad orientations: individualism and collectivism. These paradigms influence how people define themselves, relate to others, and interpret their social worlds. Each orientation offers distinct perspectives on autonomy, responsibility, and the role of the individual within a community.Individualistic CulturesIn individualistic cultures like North America and Western Europe, identity is understood as autonomous and...

Area of Science:

  • Neurogastroenterology
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in regulating physiological and psychological responses.
  • Gastric signals, originating from the stomach, are increasingly recognized for their influence on higher-order brain functions.
  • Understanding how visceral sensations modulate emotional and behavioral responses is a key area of research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of gastric signals on responses to disgusting stimuli.
  • To determine if altering peripheral gastric signals can modify the impact of monetary rewards on disgust aversion.

Main Methods:

  • Participants were exposed to disgusting stimuli under conditions with and without a peripherally acting drug.
  • Gastric signals were modulated using a pharmacological intervention.
  • Monetary reward was used as a potential incentive to overcome disgust responses.

Main Results:

  • Gastric rhythms were found to significantly influence the perception and response to disgusting stimuli.
  • Monetary rewards only motivated engagement with disgusting stimuli when gastric signals were pharmacologically altered.
  • The study highlights a direct link between peripheral gut sensations and motivated behavior in the context of aversion.

Conclusions:

  • Gastric signals are a critical modulator of disgust responses and motivated behavior.
  • Pharmacological manipulation of gut-brain signaling offers a potential avenue for altering aversion-based behaviors.
  • This research underscores the profound impact of visceral states on human decision-making and emotional regulation.
