When we talk about things, we have to give them labels. Those labels end up having a big influence on the way that we think.. When we say that someone has depression, that seems to say more about them than just that they are sad, or have trouble sleeping, or has difficulty getting excited about positive events. The label suggests that there is something deep about that person that causes these symptoms. And in the case of depression, of course, it is true that having depression tends to cause all of these symptoms. <!--break-->Douglas Medin and Andrew Ortony wrote a chapter in the 1989 book Similarity and Analogical ...

But there's another kind of "fat talk" that's less obvious. I'm talking about the internal dialogue we have with ourselves. True freedom from "fat talk" isn't just about biting your tongue before the self-critici...

Afterward, I thought, 'I feel just like a rock star!'"Many introverts and extrover...

In a New Jersey town, a controversy about a pool has pitted neighbor against neighbor. Here's the issue, as reported in the New York Times (9/7/2009). There's a natural swimming hole, called Graydon Pool. It's 2.6 acres. For over 90 years, children in that town have grown up swimming in this pool. It has a sandy bottom. Cool spring currents flow into it. But many residents would like to plow under this natural pool and replace it with a blue, concrete pool with "thoroughly disinfected" chlorinated water. They call this a "real pool" - a "bona fide pool."My colleague, Dr. Pat Hasbach (a clinical psychologist in Eugene, Oreg...

Whom do people typically admire for their moral behavior? Those driven by Bunker morality, like Osama bin Laden or Hitler?

It is recommended that performance validity be assessed in all neuropsychological cases involving external incentive.

The Reliable Spatial Span (RSS) calculation had specificity, sensitivity, and predictive power values within the range of other embedded measures. This finding suggests that RSS is able to distinguish between persistent postconcussion complainants demonstrating valid and invalid performance. Other ca...

Conclusions Depression was seen as a very lonely experience, which had an impact on their physical and psychological health.

On the whole, results were consistent with the clinical metacognitive model of depression in that both positive and negative beliefs about rumination were evident for most of the women. However, positive beliefs did not appear to be as universally endorsed as previous findings have found - possible explanations are discussed. Clinical implications and ideas for fu...

Research suggests that rumination increases anger and aggression. Mindfulness, or present-focused and intentional awareness, may counteract rumination. Using structural equation modeling, we examined the relations between mindfulness, rumination, and aggression. In a pair of studies, we found a pattern of correlations consistent with rumination partially mediating a causal link between mindfulness and hostility, anger, and verbal aggression. The pattern was not consistent with rumination mediating the association between mindfulness and physical aggression. Although it is impossible with the current nonexperimental data to...

One of the most pervasive gender stereotypes in Western culture concerns expectations regarding men's and women's emotionality. Whereas men are expected to be anger prone, women are expected to smile more. At the same time, men are generally perceived as more facially dominant and facially dominant individuals are expected to show more anger. That is, both facial appearance and social role expectations would lead observers to expect men to show more anger. The present research had the goal to disentangle the unique contribution of these two factors. As it is impossible in our society to fully untangle the influence of thes...

Vegetation surveys were also conducted to provide a baseline quantification of the three habitat types. We observed 33 individuals within 16 groups in two out of the three sites.

The categorization of gender identity variants (GIVs) as "mental disorders" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association is highly controversial among professionals as well as among persons with GIV. After providing a brief history of GIV categorizations in the DSM, this paper presents some of the major issues of the ongoing debate: GIV as psychopathology versus natural variation; definition of "impairment" and "distress" for GID; associated psychopathology and its relation to stigma; the stigma impact of the mental-disorder label itself; the unusual charact...
