The effect of individual differences on the cognitive processes of a witness during interrogation

The article presents an analysis of the different existing conceptions of interrogation and, at the same time, indicates the ambiguity of approaches to the examination of witnesses according to the type of crime, the body conducting the investigation and the tactics used. The study explores the effect of individual differences on the cognitive processes of witnesses in a simulated interrogation. The authors conducted a survey using the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) method. The groups of witnesses are divided not by the types of temperament per se but according to the set of temperamental characteristics (introversion and extraversion; neuroticism) and controlling the sincerity of the interviewees during the test, which significantly improves the reliability of the conclusions (Eysenck Personality Inventory). Finally, the study experimentally demonstrates that the speed of the mental reactions of the witnesses is not uniform and varies according to their temperamental characteristics. This gives reason to affirm the need to adapt to different groups of witnesses before and during their interrogation, giving an account of the peculiarities of their perception and processing of information.

Effects of Psychosocial Stress, Neuroticism Liability and Unhealthy Coping Strategies on the Physical and Mental Welfare of Pre-University Students in the National University of Malaysia

Stress is the body's response to changes that create taxing demands. Coping mechanism plays a significant part to overcome or reduce the stress experienced by individuals. The purpose of the study is to study the relationship between psychosocial stress, neuroticism liability and unhealthy coping strategies on the physical and mental welfare of pre-university students. One hundred and forty four pre-university students from the National University of Malaysia are included in this study. A quantitative study utilizing a cross sectional non-probability sampling research design is used to gather data. The data is collected using a questionnaire which analyzes three main aspects of this study namely, psychosocial stress, neuroticism liability and unhealthy coping mechanisms. The instruments used to measure psychosocial stress is the individual items of the University Students Stress Scale .The unhealthy coping strategies will be assessed by the Brief COPE Inventory through the ordinal data (individual survey items) obtained. However, neuroticism liability will be measured through the Eysenck Personality Inventory. The SPSS Statistics Data Editor Version 25 is used for statistical analysis. In conclusion, all three variables are correlated with each other. When a person experiences immense psychosocial stress, the person tends to inculcate more unhealthy coping strategies in daily lives and it may contribute to increasing neuroticism liability.

Biology of Perseverative Negative Thinking: The Role of Timing and Folate Intake

Past-oriented rumination and future-oriented worry are two aspects of perseverative negative thinking related to the neuroticism endophenotype and associated with depression and anxiety. Our present aim was to investigate the genomic background of these two aspects of perseverative negative thinking within separate groups of individuals with suboptimal versus optimal folate intake. We conducted a genome-wide association study in the UK Biobank database (n = 72,621) on the “rumination” and “worry” items of the Eysenck Personality Inventory Neuroticism scale in these separate groups. Optimal folate intake was related to lower worry, but unrelated to rumination. In contrast, genetic associations for worry did not implicate specific biological processes, while past-oriented rumination had a more specific genetic background, emphasizing its endophenotypic nature. Furthermore, biological pathways leading to rumination appeared to differ according to folate intake: purinergic signaling and circadian regulator gene ARNTL emerged in the whole sample, blastocyst development, DNA replication, and C-C chemokines in the suboptimal folate group, and prostaglandin response and K+ channel subunit gene KCNH3 in the optimal folate group. Our results point to possible benefits of folate in anxiety disorders, and to the importance of simultaneously taking into account genetic and environmental factors to determine personalized intervention in polygenic and multifactorial disorders.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF EMOTIONALLY STABLE SECONDARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

This study aimed at exploring the relationship between emotionally stable school principals and their academic performance in terms of student academic achievement. A sample of 32 secondary school principals and 238 teachers working in Ffederal Ggovernment Eeducational Iinstitutions (FGEIs) was selected using a random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using two adapted questionnaires of Eysenck Personality Inventory (1967) and Stronge (2011). SPSS (21.0) was used for data analysis. The study revealed that the majority of emotionally stable secondary school principals focus to improve the overall learning environment of the school. They are found to be positively correlated with their academic performance. The study recommends that secondary school principals should be provided proper awareness about performance standards of school principals. Principals should be encouraged to adopt positive personality traits of emotional stability.

Abnormal Functional Connectivity Between the Left Medial Superior Frontal Gyrus and Amygdala Underlying Abnormal Emotion and Premature Ejaculation: A Resting State fMRI Study

IntroductionPremature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction and is found to be associated with abnormal emotion. The amygdala plays an important role in the processing of emotion. The process of ejaculation is found to be mediated by the frontal-limbic neural circuits. However, the correlations between PE and emotion are still unclear.MethodsResting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were acquired in 27 PE patients with stable emotion (SPE), 27 PE patients with abnormal emotion (NPE), and 30 healthy controls (HC). We used rs-fMRI to explore the underlying neural mechanisms in SPE, NPE, and HC by measuring the functional connectivity (FC). Differences of FC values among the three groups were compared when choosing bilateral amygdala as the regions of interest (ROIs). We also explored the correlations between the brain regions showing altered FC values and scores of the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT)/Eysenck Personality Inventory about neuroticism (EPQ-N) in the PE group.ResultsWhen the left amygdala was chosen as the ROI, the SPE group exhibited an increased FC between the left medial superior frontal gyrus (SFGmed) and amygdala compared with the NPE or HC group. When the right amygdala was chosen as the ROI, the NPE group exhibited a decreased FC between the left SFGmed and right amygdala compared with the HC group. In addition, FC values of the left SFGmed had positive correlations with PEDT and negative correlations with EPQ-N scores in the PE group. Moreover, FC values of the left superior temporal gyrus had positive correlations with EPQ-N scores in the PE group.ConclusionThe increased FC values between the left SFGmed and amygdala could reflect a compensatory cortical control mechanism with the effect of stabilized emotion in the limbic regions of PE patients. Abnormal FC between these brain regions could play a critical role in the physiopathology of PE and could help us in dividing PE into more subtypes.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEMPERAMENTS AND RISK OF DEPRESSION OF STUDENTS AT HO CHI MINH CITY UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION

The study aims to determine the relationship between temperaments and risk of depression of students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. A cross-sectional survey was implemented with the participation of 404 full-time students. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to identify the participants’ risk of depression, and the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) to categorize their temperaments. The findings show that there is a relationship between the students’ temperaments and their risk of being depressed.

USE OF ART PEDAGOGY IN THE PROCESS OF ADAPTATION OF IMMIGRANT STUDENT TO THE UNIVERSITY

The document contains materials on working with first-year students, who have changed their place of residence in connection with the military action in their homeland. The focus of the paper is on the issue of adaptation of immigrant student to the conditions of the university.We carried out a psychological and pedagogical research using diagnostics of the socio-psychological adaptation of a group of immigrant students (self-acceptance, acceptance of others, emotional comfort, integrity, desire to dominate). We used: Test of Personal Adjustment (C. Rogers, R. Dymond), Eysenck Personality Inventory (H. Eysenck), UCLA Loneliness Scale (D. Russell), Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, TMAS (J. Taylor), method of «Three Trees» E. Klessmani to study the characteristics of inter-group and family relations.The article also analyzed and presented art pedagogy means to help this group of students to overcome difficulties in adapting to the new conditions of life. Namely: elements of a four-component author's program for working with personal orientations and values using the means of art pedagogy in the process of studying basic disciplines

STRESS DAN KEPRIBADIAN MAHASISWA PTKIN MENGHADAPI COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various dimensions of life including increasing stress among students. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between stress levels and the personality type of state Islamic religious college students (PTKIN). This research is a type of quantitative research. The sample in this study were 100 students of the Faculty of Ushuluddin Adab and Da'wah at IAIN Palangkaraya using purposive random sampling technique. The data in this study used 2 standardized instruments, namely the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) instrument to measure extrovert-introvert personality and stress levels using the DASS-21 instrument. The conclusion of the research data analysis is that students who have a stress level during the Covid-19 pandemic are dominated by students who have an introverted personality type. This situation shows that introvert personality types are at greater risk of experiencing stress in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic compared to students with extrovert personality types.
