The main aim of the proposal is to study the processes involved in non-chronic vs. chronic drug seeking behavior in samples of alcohol dependent persons (ADs) and pathological gamblers (PGs) with different levels of chronicity. We thereby rely on…
The aim of the study is to investigate the neurobiology of Conduct Disorder (CD) in female and male children and adolescents, and examine for sex differences in the phenotype (clinical presentation) of CD, and the relationships between CD and…
In this study, we want to assess the variability and the causality between hormonal changes and aggressive behaviour within a psychotic patient, an anti-social personality disordered patient, an anti-social personality disordered patient with a PCL-…
Primary Objective: Using task fMRI to assess differences in the brain activation during evaluative social feedback and script-driven emotional imagination between participants with BPD and healthy controls. Moment-to-moment self-esteem and mood…
1. Advance knowledge of the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying emotional dysregulation in borderline personality disorder. 2. Advance knowledge on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of dialectical behaviour therapy in borderline personality…
This research proposal focuses on (i) the development and implementation of experimental approaches to identify dimensions of impulsivity, empathy and paranoia. (ii) Studying the gene-environmentinteractions which are expected to play a role in the…
The study proposes to gain more knowledge in the influence of neuropsychological characteristics, CU-traits and HPA/ANS (re)activity on treatment outcome after standardized treatment in a closed treatment setting as well as the changeability of the…
The objective of this subexperiment is to test the hypotheses of emotional reactivity as underlying mechanism to GxE interactions in the behavior development of children. This hypotheses will be tested within an experiment in which we will look if…
To assess the outcome and pattern of frontal cognitive deficits between patients with cerebellar stroke compared to frontal stroke after three months of acute ischemic stroke with several validated neuropsychological tests and questionnaire
This study aims to identify the specific environmental influences that cause discordance in neuroticism scores in MZ twin pairs. We hypothesize that the development of high neuroticism is due to having experienced more severe and longer lasting…
1. To investigate the associations between DSM-IV personality disorder and attachment style. 2. To investigate whether attachment related anxiety and avoidance, as more fundamental personality features than the DSM-IV personality classification,…
To investigate whether emotional arousal impairs facial emotion recognition in BPD patients and how specific borderline symptomatology is related with this.
The main objective of the present study is to test 1) whether paranoid anxiety moderates the relation between rejection and aggression, and 2) whether social anxiety moderates the relation between rejection and withdrawn behavior.
The present study will test 1) how the two versions of the dangerous world IT are related to attributional biases, i.e. hostile attributional bias and rejection attributional bias; 2) whether both versions of the dangerous world IT are related to…
The main objective of this study is to test 1) whether rejection in (forensic) psychiatric patients is related to aggression and/or withdrawn behaviour, and 2) Whether anxiety mediates the relation between rejection and withdrawn and aggressive…
To clarify the longitudinal developmental and genetic relationships among three domains of variables: 1) personality traits (e.g. sensation seeking), externalizing and internalizing disorders, 2) alcohol and other drug onset, use and disorder and 3…
The objective is to investigate differences and/or similarities in the lack of empathy with several psychiatric disorders, in which this deficiency is a known core symptom. It will be investigated which aspects op empathy are disturbed.
The main objective is to elucidate the role of Pavlovian cues in instrumental behaviour in PPs and PASPD-Ps and its neural underpinnings. To this end we will acquire fMRI data from PPs, PASPD-Ps, and healthy controls during the performance of two…
Objective: We aim to assess whether [1] epigenetic alterations are responsible for the detrimental effects of maternal undernutrition during gestation on the offspring*s (F1) cardiovascular health, and [2] these epigenetic alterations pass down…
The proposed project - Pomona II - aims to apply the set of health indicators by gathering information about health among samples of people with ID in 14 participating Member States.
