Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview

1.4K
Sedatives are drugs that alleviate anxiety, while hypnotics induce sleep. Both classes of medication suppress neuronal activity, leading to a calming effect for sedatives and facilitating sleep for hypnotics.
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

776
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Nightmares and Night Terrors01:18

Nightmares and Night Terrors

472
Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Hypnosis Research

Background:

  • The Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS) is a validated tool for assessing hypnotizability.
  • Standardized administration of hypnotizability scales is crucial for reliable research.
  • Training for research assistants in hypnosis assessment is often needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Standardized Hypnotizability Assessment and Rapport Education (SHARE) training program.
  • To provide a guide for implementing the SHARE training in research settings.
  • To discuss the safety and benefits of the SHARE training for trainees.

Main Methods:

  • The SHARE program involves five key training steps.
  • Training includes personal scale experience, expert observation, and theoretical study.
  • Participants engage in supervised practice sessions administering hypnotizability scales.

Main Results:

  • The SHARE program is designed for psychology and medical students.
  • Focus groups with research assistants provided feedback on the training.
  • The training aims to ensure standardized rapport and safety in hypnosis assessments.

Conclusions:

  • The SHARE program offers a structured approach to training research assistants in hypnotizability scale administration.
  • Effective training enhances the reliability and validity of hypnosis research.
  • The program's implementation can benefit research labs and trainees alike.
