Summary: This study investigates the impact of emotional and pain-related information on the activity of masticatory muscles in awake bruxism patients and controls. The results demonstrate that awake bruxism patients display greater muscular activity when exposed to negative and pain-related stimuli.

Summary: The research used a novel conversation-analytically informed paradigm to examine how joint decision-making interaction is reflected in participants' physiological responses, focusing on proposal sequences. The study found that participants had higher and more synchronized skin conductance (SC) responses during proposal sequences, particularly when the participant was in the role of a proposal speaker, and when the proposal was accepted by the recipient. This suggests that accepting responses signal a commitment to future action, for which the proposal speaker may feel a heightened sense of responsibility.

Summary: Existing literature suggests that patients' experiences of negative emotions predict outcomes in psychotherapies for major depressive disorder. This study investigates the potential mediation effect of therapists' oxytocin (OT) responses on the association between patients' negative emotions and symptomatic change. The findings support a within-person mediation model where higher levels of negative emotions in patients predict greater increases in therapist OT levels pre- to post-session, and therapist OT levels, in turn, predict reduction in patients' depressive symptoms.

Summary: This study examined the neural basis of emotional processing in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results showed lower activation in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in MDD patients compared to healthy volunteers (HV). Higher arousal and valence of negative stimuli as well as more severe depression were negatively associated with left DLFPC activity in MDD patients.

Summary: This study used fMRI to compare the emotional processing differences between patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy volunteers (HV). The results showed lower activation levels in certain brain regions during the processing of negative emotional stimuli in MDD patients compared to HV.

Summary: Emotions play a crucial role in tourism experiences, with the peak-and-end theory not necessarily applying to heterogeneous and multi-episodic tourism experiences. The combination of electrophysiological measures and experience reconstruction offers new insights into the temporal dynamics of tourism experiences.

Summary: The study found that personality difficulties may result in less favorable treatment outcomes for individuals with depression and anxiety disorders. The more personality difficulties a person has, the lower the likelihood of recovery and improvement.

Summary: Emotions play a crucial role in meaningful and memorable tourism experiences. This article explores the feasibility and usefulness of using psychophysiological measurements, specifically skin conductance responses (SCRs), to track the emotional changes of participants during a tourism experience. The findings suggest that VR rides are evaluated more positively than normal rides, and SCR signals are meaningfully related to different ride elements. Overall, psychophysiological measurements offer a new avenue for understanding the development of hospitality, tourism, and leisure experiences over time.

Summary: The study found that acute bouts of physical activity can significantly improve affective states in people with depression. This effect is consistent across different types of affective states, exercise conditions, and participant characteristics. Future research should explore the impact of physical activity on affective states in non-experimental settings and investigate whether the affective response to physical activity can predict long-term antidepressant effects.

Summary: As online scams become a growing societal issue, perpetrators use technology to mimic communications from legitimate sources, with research highlighting the importance of emotions in decision making processes and how it can impact susceptibility to scams. The proposed mood maintenance/mood-repair view serves as an appropriate theoretical foundation for studying the interaction between individuals' emotional state and emotional appeals embedded in messages in online contexts.

Summary: Anxiety and depression both lead to dysregulated autonomic reactivity to emotion, with anxiety characterized by hyperreactivity to emotion and hypervigilance to peripheral vision, and depression associated with attenuation of positive emotion and global blunted autonomic reactivity. Anxiety mainly affects early processes of autonomic reactivity, while depression mainly affects later processes, suggesting the need for new stimulation strategies to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Summary: This study tested the cross-national stability of the HEXACO-60 structure in 18 countries and found high congruence in most countries. Gender differences were found in Emotionality across countries, while no significant effect of age was observed. Individuals with high scores on Honesty-Humility, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience, and low scores on Emotionality are more likely to achieve higher social positions.

Summary: Decades of research on affective forecasting have shown a persistent intensity bias where people tend to overestimate future hedonic responses to positive events and underestimate those to negative events. This study found that among various individual and contextual factors, the valence of the event is the main factor influencing the inaccuracy of affective forecasting.

Summary: This research explores the Dark Triad traits in 18 cultures from Europe, America, Africa, and Asia, revealing cultural differences and gender variations in these traits. The study also examines the associations between the Dark Triad traits and age, social status, and two personality models. It finds that culture accounts for a significant amount of variance in the Dark Triad traits, with men scoring higher than women in most cultures. The study also reveals negative correlations between the Dark Triad traits and age, and identifies specific personality trait associations with each trait dimension.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the causal effect of participants' perspectives on moral decision-making using trolley problems and variants. The results provided strong evidence that the perspective from which participants were enrolled in the trolley problem caused significant changes in their moral decision-making. Additionally, affective empathy and borderline (BDL) personality traits were found to significantly predict participants' choices in different scenarios.

Summary: This study replicated previous research on the ways of pursuing happiness, finding that prioritizing positivity was positively associated with subjective happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being, but negatively linked to depression. Conversely, valuing happiness showed opposite results.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of tDCS on working memory performance by stimulating the left intraparietal sulcus (IPS) area, and found no significant differences in accuracy or reaction time between anodal, cathodal, and sham conditions. This adds to the conflicting evidence regarding the modulatory effects of single session tDCS on working memory.
