Accurate recognition of facial expressions is crucial for effective interpersonal socialization, but individuals with problematic internet use (PIU) may face challenges. This study compared facial expression recognition between high PIU (HPIU) and low PIU (LPIU) individuals across three experiments. Experiment 1, using six-alternative forced choice task, found that HPIU individuals recognized six basic emotions significantly less accurately than LPIU individuals and showed greater confusion, particularly for negative expressions. Experiment 2 focused on anger and disgust expressions using the emotional expression multimorph task. HPIU individuals made significantly more errors for both expressions. Experiment 3, using event-related potentials (ERPs), revealed HPIU individuals exhibited higher N170 amplitude to anger at early stages. Additionally, HPIU individuals demonstrated higher aggression, emotional social isolation, state-trait anxiety, and immature defense styles. Correlation analysis showed that after FDR correction, only aggression levels (and its subscales) correlated significantly with facial expression recognition task performance. These findings offer initial insights into PIU-related facial expression recognition differences and highlight aggression as a key psychosocial correlate. Observed trends in specific facial expression recognition area warrant further investigation.

面部表情的准确识别对于有效的人际交往至关重要，但网络使用问题个体可能面临挑战。本研究通过三个实验比较了高PIU （HPIU）和低PIU （LPIU）个体的面部表情识别。实验1采用六选项强迫选择任务，发现高piu个体对六种基本情绪的识别准确率明显低于低piu个体，并表现出更大的困惑，尤其是对消极表达。实验二采用情绪表达多变形任务研究愤怒和厌恶的表情。HPIU个体对这两种表达的错误明显更多。实验3利用事件相关电位（ERPs）发现，高收入者在早期阶段对愤怒表现出较高的N170振幅。此外，高智商个体表现出更高的攻击性、情绪性社会孤立、状态-特质焦虑和不成熟的防御风格。相关分析显示，经过FDR校正后，只有攻击性水平（及其子量表）与面部表情识别任务表现显著相关。这些发现提供了与piu相关的面部表情识别差异的初步见解，并强调攻击性是关键的社会心理关联。观察到的特定面部表情识别领域的趋势值得进一步研究。

The autonomic-based Concealed Information Test (CIT) focuses on differential responses to a crime-relevant item that is significant only for knowledgeable persons. This study examined whether pre-test instructions on question themes defining knowledgeable and unknowledgeable contexts modulate the magnitude of differential responses to the relevant item. The participants (36 men 46 women) were instructed to steal one item from one of two possible locations in a mock theft task. In the subsequent CIT, an identical set of items was presented under two different contextual conditions, and participants were asked what was stolen from each of the two locations. The location in which participants enacted the mock theft was defined as the “relevant, knowledgeable” context, whereas the other location where they did nothing was the “irrelevant, unknowledgeable” context. The context was specified by pre-test instructions, and the participants were asked what they had stolen in each context. During the CIT, skin conductance response, heart rate, and respiratory movement were recorded. The results indicated that differential responses to the stolen item occurred both in the relevant and the irrelevant conditions but tended to be smaller in magnitude in the latter. From an applied perspective, it was suggested that prior experience of similar crimes may lead to a false positive but the short study–test interval in this experiment should also be noted. Our finding implies that the context-specifying instructions in the CIT were a modulator rather than the sole determinant of the significance of the relevant item.

基于自主的隐藏信息测试（CIT）侧重于对犯罪相关项目的差异反应，该项目仅对知识渊博的人有意义。本研究考察了关于定义知识和非知识背景的问题主题的测试前指示是否调节了对相关项目的差异反应的大小。在模拟偷窃任务中，参与者（36名男性，46名女性）被要求从两个可能的地点之一偷一件东西。在随后的CIT中，在两种不同的情境条件下呈现一组相同的物品，参与者被问及在两个地点分别偷了什么。参与者模仿偷窃的地点被定义为“相关的、有知识的”环境，而他们什么都不做的另一个地点被定义为“不相关的、没有知识的”环境。测试前的指示指定了环境，参与者被问及他们在每个环境中偷了什么。在CIT过程中，记录皮肤电导反应、心率和呼吸运动。结果表明，在相关条件和不相关条件下，对被盗物品的差异反应都存在，但在后一种情况下，差异反应的幅度较小。从应用的角度来看，前人对类似犯罪的经验可能会导致假阳性，但也应注意本实验的学习-测试间隔较短。我们的发现表明，CIT中的上下文指定指令是一个调制器，而不是相关项目重要性的唯一决定因素。

Objective

A parent's ability to self-regulate influences parenting practices. Child-related stressors may deplete parent's self-regulatory capacities. However, this effect may be moderated by the marital context within which stressful parent-child interactions are occurring. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between child behavioural problems and parent vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV), a proposed psychophysiological index of self-regulatory capacities, and to test whether marital stress moderated this effect.

Methods

Eighty cohabiting heterosexual couples with preschool children had their vmHRV recorded during a laboratory session and completed a measure of child behavioural problems. Daily assessments of marital stress were measured over six consecutive days. Partner's ratings of child behavioural problems and marital stress were used to predict participant's vmHRV.

Results

After adjusting for participant's age, gender, and ethnicity, greater child behavioural problems predicted lower parent vmHRV. Marital stress exacerbated the association between child behavioural problems and parent vmHRV. However, this association was moderated by parent's gender, with marital stress exacerbating the association between child behavioural problems and parent vmHRV for fathers, but not for mothers.

Conclusion

Child-related stressors are associated with reduced self-regulatory capacities among parents of preschool children as assessed by vmHRV. Fathers are especially vulnerable to the marital context within which these stressors are occurring. Poor self-regulation capacities during the early parenting years may place both parents and children at risk for long-term maladaptive outcomes.

目的：父母的自我调节能力会影响育儿行为。与孩子有关的压力源可能会耗尽父母的自我调节能力。然而，这种影响可能会被婚姻环境所缓和，在这种环境中，紧张的亲子互动正在发生。本研究的目的是调查儿童行为问题与父母迷走神经介导的心率变异性（vmHRV）之间的关系，这是一种用来衡量自我调节能力的心理生理指标，并测试婚姻压力是否会调节这种影响。方法：80对有学龄前儿童的同居异性恋夫妇在实验室期间记录了他们的vmHRV，并完成了儿童行为问题的测量。每天对婚姻压力的评估是在连续六天内进行的。伴侣对孩子行为问题和婚姻压力的评分被用来预测参与者的vmHRV。结果：在调整参与者的年龄、性别和种族后，更大的儿童行为问题预示着更低的父母vmHRV。婚姻压力加剧了儿童行为问题与父母vmHRV之间的联系。然而，这种关联受到父母性别的影响，婚姻压力加剧了父亲的孩子行为问题和父母vmHRV之间的关联，但对母亲没有。结论：通过vmHRV评估，儿童相关压力源与学龄前儿童家长自我调节能力降低有关。父亲尤其容易受到这些压力源产生的婚姻环境的影响。在养育子女的早期阶段，较差的自我调节能力可能使父母和孩子都面临长期适应不良后果的风险。

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are highly prevalent and associated with a wide range of adverse behavioral, psychiatric, and physical health outcomes in adulthood. Given the robust link between ACEs and poor health, identifying underlying physiological mechanisms is crucial. One proposed mechanism is cardiovascular stress reactivity, the increase in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in response to mental stress. The present study examined the relationship between ACEs and cardiovascular reactivity and additionally investigated baroreflex function as a potential upstream regulator of the stress response. Participants (N = 130, M = 20.43 years, 65 % female, 62 % white) completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and a socially evaluative mental arithmetic stressor in the laboratory. HR, BP, and baroreflex function was measured during both baseline and stress conditions. Baroreflex function was assessed using the sequence method. Stress reactivity was defined as the change in HR, BP, or baroreflex function from baseline to stress. HR and BP significantly increased and baroreflex function significantly decreased in response to mental stress (all p < 0.001). However, after controlling for sex, cohort, baseline values, and perceived stress, no significant associations emerged between CTQ scores, total or subscales, and either cardiovascular or baroreflex reactivity (all p ≥ 0.55). In contrast to other studies that report ACEs are related to exaggerated or blunted HR and BP, these findings suggest that ACEs are not related to cardiovascular reactivity. ACEs were not related to baroreflex stress reactivity either but since this is the first study to examine this relationship, more research is needed.

童年不良经历（ace）非常普遍，并与成年后的各种不良行为、精神和身体健康结果相关。鉴于ace与健康状况不佳之间的紧密联系，确定潜在的生理机制至关重要。一种被提出的机制是心血管应激反应，即在精神压力下心率（HR）和血压（BP）的增加。本研究考察了ace与心血管反应性之间的关系，并进一步研究了应激反应的应激反射功能。参与者（N = 130, M = 20.43岁，女性占65%，白人占62%）在实验室完成了儿童创伤问卷（CTQ）和社会评价心算压力源。在基线和应激条件下测量HR、BP和压力反射功能。用序列法评价压力反射函数。应激反应性定义为心率、血压或压力反射功能从基线到应激的变化。精神应激组HR和BP显著升高，压力反射功能显著降低（p < 0.001）。然而，在控制了性别、队列、基线值和感知压力后，CTQ评分、总量表或亚量表与心血管或气压反射反应性之间没有显着关联（均p≥0.55）。与其他报道ace与HR和BP的夸大或钝化有关的研究相反，这些研究结果表明ace与心血管反应性无关。ace也与压力反射性应激反应无关，但由于这是第一次研究这种关系，因此需要更多的研究。

Emotion, memory, and attention are closely interconnected, guiding cognitive processes and behavior. However, whether and how this complex interplay is modulated by the autonomic nervous system has been largely neglected to date. This study used functional MRI (fMRI) to investigate the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and brain function in healthy adults during an emotionally enhanced memory-guided visual search task. Participants engaged in a two-phase paradigm: during the encoding phase, they memorized the locations of targets embedded in emotional (positive or negative) or neutral images; during the retrieval phase, they identified low-contrast targets in previously viewed or novel images. High-frequency HRV (HF-HRV) was recorded at rest in the scanner during the anatomical image acquisition and subsequently correlated with the brain activation map derived from the interaction contrast of target memory and emotional context. Results revealed a positive correlation between HF-HRV and activation of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), a region implicated in emotional regulation and higher-order cognitive processes. These findings highlight the potential capacity of HRV to reflect the dmPFC's integration of emotional and cognitive processes to optimize memory-guided visual search performance.

The present study investigates attentional biases (ABs) in gamblers and non-gamblers, focusing on both gambling-related and food-related stimuli to examine the relationship between these biases and the Incentive Sensitization (IS) and Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) models of addiction. Using an eye-tracking methodology, we assess how ABs differ across three conditions involving two types of images: Food vs. Gambling, Food vs. Neutral, and Gambling vs. Neutral. Gamblers showed a significant AB toward gambling-related stimuli compared to neutral cues, supporting the IS model. However, when gambling and food images were compared, no significant difference in AB was found, partially disconfirming the hypothesis that gamblers exhibit a stronger bias toward gambling stimuli. In contrast, non-gamblers demonstrated a clear preference for food-related images, as predicted by the IS model. Additionally, group differences revealed that gamblers allocated more attention to gambling-related cues than non-gamblers. However, food images elicited similar levels of attention from both gamblers and non-gamblers when compared to neutral images, rather than gambling-related images. These findings highlight the role of ABs in the development and maintenance of gambling behaviour, supporting the IS model but not the RDS model. The study also explores the association between AB and severity of gambling and other relevant psychological factors in gambling disorder, providing new insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying gambling addiction. These results suggest that ABs could be targeted in interventions aimed at modifying attention patterns and reducing gambling-related cravings.

本研究调查了赌徒和非赌徒的注意偏差（ABs），重点研究了赌博相关和食物相关的刺激，以检验这些偏差与成瘾的激励敏感化（IS）和奖励缺乏综合征（RDS）模型之间的关系。使用眼动追踪方法，我们评估了ab在涉及两种类型图像的三种情况下的差异：食物vs.赌博，食物vs.中性，赌博vs.中性。与中性线索相比，赌徒对赌博相关刺激表现出显著的AB，支持IS模型。然而，当赌博和食物图像进行比较时，没有发现AB的显著差异，部分地否定了赌徒对赌博刺激表现出更强的偏见的假设。相比之下，非赌徒对与食物相关的图像表现出明显的偏好，正如IS模型所预测的那样。此外，群体差异表明，赌徒比非赌徒更关注与赌博有关的线索。然而，与中性图片相比，食物图片引起的赌徒和非赌徒的注意力水平相似，而不是与赌博有关的图片。这些发现强调了ABs在赌博行为发展和维持中的作用，支持IS模型，但不支持RDS模型。本研究还探讨了AB与赌博严重程度及赌博障碍中其他相关心理因素的关系，为赌博成瘾的认知机制提供了新的见解。这些结果表明，ABs可以作为干预的目标，旨在改变注意力模式和减少赌博相关的渴望。

These findings highlight the role of ABs in the development and maintenance of gambling behaviour, supporting the IS model but not the RDS model. The study also explores the association between AB and severity of gambling and other relevant psychological factors in gambling disorder, providing new insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying gambling addiction. These results suggest that ABs could be targeted in interventions aimed at modifying attention patterns and reducing gambling-related cravings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 113245"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144926764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Homophones share identical pronunciations but differ in spelling and meaning, presenting a challenge in language acquisition. This study investigated whether the phonological familiarity of novel homophones aids the learning of orthographic forms and meanings or whether a mismatch between familiar sounds and new orthography creates obstacles to acquisition. Using Russian words, we created pseudohomophones that are identical in pronunciation to familiar words but have different spellings, as well as non-homophonic pseudowords that differ from familiar words in both pronunciation and spelling. Twenty-eight participants learned pseudohomophones and pseudowords in two experiments. We assessed orthographic and semantic acquisition using behavioral tasks and evaluated neural responses before and after learning using ERPs. Pseudohomophones were learned faster and their orthographic forms acquired better than those of pseudowords. Before learning, pseudowords elicited a larger N400 than familiar words, whereas pseudohomophones did not differ significantly, suggesting that phonological similarity hindered their distinction from real words. After learning, pseudowords showed modulations in the P200, N250-P325, and P600 components, reflecting the formation of new orthographic, phonological, and semantic representations. In contrast, only the P600 was modulated for pseudohomophones, likely because their phonology was already familiar. Moreover, comparison between pseudohomophones and pseudowords revealed greater modulation in frontal regions around 300 ms for pseudowords due to the learning session, indicating the formation of phonological representations and increased attentional demands. These findings are compatible with the connectionist dual-process model, suggesting a learning advantage for pseudohomophones based on existing phonological representations.

同音异义词发音相同，但拼写和意义不同，给语言习得带来了挑战。本研究探讨了新同音同义词的语音熟悉是否有助于正字法形式和意义的学习，或者熟悉的声音和新正字法之间的不匹配是否会造成习得障碍。使用俄语单词，我们创造了与熟悉的单词发音相同但拼写不同的假同音词，以及在发音和拼写上与熟悉的单词不同的非同音假词。在两个实验中，28名参与者学习了假同音异义词和假单词。我们使用行为任务评估正字法和语义习得，并使用erp评估学习前后的神经反应。假同音异义词的学习速度较快，其正字法的习得也优于假词。在学习前，假词诱发的N400比熟悉词大，而假同音异义词诱发的N400差异不显著，这表明语音相似性阻碍了假词与真实词的区分。学习后，假词在P200、N250-P325和P600成分中出现了调制，反映了新的正字法表征、语音表征和语义表征的形成。相比之下，只有P600对假同音异义词进行了调制，可能是因为它们的音系已经很熟悉了。此外，假同音同义词和假词的对比显示，假词在300 ms左右时，由于学习过程，额叶区域的调制更大，这表明语音表征的形成和注意需求的增加。这些发现与连接主义双过程模型相一致，表明基于现有语音表征的假同音同义词具有学习优势。

Multiverse analyses strengthen the robustness of psychophysiological research by evaluating the influence of various analytical choices on results. The relationship between neural measures of inhibitory control and food intake is one area where researchers face multiple analytical decisions regarding inclusion and operationalization of variables. Although individuals with higher inhibitory control generally exhibit better diet-related outcomes, the relationship between event-related potential (ERP) markers of inhibitory control and food intake is inconsistent, calling into question the reliability of results. We conducted a multiverse analysis where 16 models were used to test a multiverse of relationships between ERP indices of inhibitory control and caloric or carbohydrate intake while controlling for age, biological sex, weight, and body mass index (BMI). No-go and difference (i.e., no-go minus go) amplitudes for N2 and P3 ERP components were used as indices of inhibitory control. Across four independent studies, 288 participants (M_age = 25.89, SD_age = 7.50) completed a high-calorie go/no-go task while ERP data were recorded. Food intake was recorded using the online Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Dietary Assessment Tool. Results generally found no significant relationship between ERP measures and calorie or carbohydrate intake. Biological males, heavier individuals, and those with higher BMIs tended to consume more food. Inhibitory control, as measured by the N2 and P3 ERP components during a high-calorie go/no-go task, does not consistently relate to food intake in the current multiverse analysis. Other cognitive and diet-related factors, like reward sensitivity and dietary restraint, need consideration when testing the link between inhibitory control and diet.

多元宇宙分析通过评估各种分析选择对结果的影响，加强了心理生理学研究的稳健性。抑制控制和食物摄入的神经测量之间的关系是一个领域，研究人员面临多个分析决策关于变量的包含和操作化。尽管具有较高抑制控制的个体通常表现出更好的饮食相关结果，但抑制控制的事件相关电位（ERP）标记物与食物摄入之间的关系并不一致，这使结果的可靠性受到质疑。在控制年龄、生理性别、体重和体重指数（BMI）的情况下，我们使用了16个模型来检验抑制控制的ERP指数与热量或碳水化合物摄入量之间的多重关系。N2和P3 ERP成分的No-go和差（即No-go -go）振幅作为抑制控制的指标。在四项独立研究中，288名参与者（Mage = 25.89,SDage = 7.50）完成了高热量的go/no-go任务，同时记录了ERP数据。使用在线自动自我管理24小时饮食评估工具记录食物摄入量。结果普遍发现ERP测量与卡路里或碳水化合物摄入之间没有显著关系。生理上的男性、体重较重的个体和bmi较高的个体倾向于消耗更多的食物。在当前的多元宇宙分析中，在高热量的“去”/“不去”任务中，抑制控制由N2和P3 ERP成分测量，与食物摄入并不一致。在测试抑制控制和饮食之间的联系时，需要考虑其他认知和饮食相关因素，如奖励敏感性和饮食限制。
