Researchers at Harvard University have discovered that our experience of pain depends on whether we think someone caused the pain intentionally. In their study, participants who believed they were getting an electrical shock from another person on purpose, rather than accidentally, rated the very same shock as more painful. Participants seemed to get used to shocks that were delivered unintentionally, but those given on purpose had a fresh sting every time

Psychologists are revising the DSM-IV. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has been altered a few times since its first edition came out in 1952 (hence the "IV") to reflect better information and changing ideas about what makes a healthy mind. For example, earlier versions of the DSM listed homosexuality as a disease. The DSM-IV does not

BEWARE the office bully, especially if you are the workplace underdog. It seems people with psychopathic behavioral traits tend to hone in on their most vulnerable colleagues instead of those who might have the greatest value for their career.
Contrary to popular belief, most psychopaths are not Jack the Ripper types - often they have never committed a violent crime. But as many as one in one hundred people display antisocial behaviors deemed psychopathic. Chief among these is a callous ability to manipulate other people to fulfill their own desires
Psychiatry has a new theory of genes and behavior: Genetic tug-of-war determines brain development
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
In what the New York Times calls a "creative" interpretation of recent findings about the nature of DNA, two scientists, biologist Bernard Crespi of Fraser University and sociologist Christopher Badcock of the London school of economics, have come up with a new idea of how mental disorders develop and how genes fit into the whole thing:
"Their idea is, in broad outline, straightforward. Dr. Crespi and Dr. Badcock propose that an evolutionary tug of war between genes from the father’s sperm and the mother’s egg can, in effect, tip brain development in one of two ways
The psychology of voting when the vote "doesn't count."
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 3 days (www.nytimes.com)
On this fine election day, I've found an article in the New York Times' science section on the psychology of voting and group behavior. In a departure, it is not an examination of what drives people to vote one way or the other; it's about what drives people to vote at all. It's a question that crops up every election year: "If my vote doesn't count, then why should I bother?"
There are lots of people who feel as though their votes don't count. Some people blame the elctoral system: If my state always goes red anyway, then my blue vote doesn't count
Repossession "is mental threat"

Sometimes depression and other mental problems are caused by an inherent imbalance in brain chemistry. We refer to this as clinicl depression. At other times, however, depression is caused by life events. A family member dies, and the patient becomes depressed. It is natural, understandable, and, depending on how the patient manages it, it can be healthy.
So what are the life events most likely to cause this natural depression? House repossession--foreclosure--was rated as one of the top causes, ahead of finding out about infertility

FEELING blue about climate change? Don't despair. Psychologists say they can switch our mindset from fatalism to "can-do" optimism, making a unique and vital contribution to the fight against global warming.
On 15 August at the American Psychological Association meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, delegates vowed to expose and help overcome the psychological barriers individuals face. "It's so easy to feel overwhelmed and think: 'What can little me do?'" says David Uzzell of the University of Surrey, U.K.
Most people now accept that global warming is real and caused by human activity
Rebellious Teen? A Brain Area May Hold the Key
sea-maid submitted, created time 7 months 2 weeks (abcnews.go.com)
Child development experts are scrutinizing a new study that suggests the size of small, almond-shaped structures in the center of the brain known as the amygdalae may hold the key to how aggressive teens behave toward their parents. But researchers at the University of Melbourne's Orygen Research Center in Australia report that these areas of the brain may have a special link when it comes to teens who regularly fight with their parents.

A novel conceptual framework for understanding the mechanism of adherence to long term therapies
ReachG submitted, created time 10 months 4 weeks (www.doveoa.com)
Abstract: The World Health Organization claimed recently that improving patient adherence to long term therapies would be more beneficial than any biomedical progress. First, however, we must understand its mechanisms. In this paper I propose a novel approach using concepts elaborated in a field rarely explored in medicine, the philosophy of mind
