The Relationship between Childhood Events and Adult Problem Solving Skills ::

Michael Dimambro
University of Worcester

This study is concerned with the how an individual’s childhood affects their ability to problem solve as adults. Previous studies have found a link between an unstable childhood and a reduced performance in problem solving, however, a more recent study (Mittal et al., 2015) has found a link that suggests that an unstable childhood, although reducing performance on most aspects of problem solving skills can actually make the person improve on a specific type of problem solving– i.e cognitive shifting, which is the ability to switch between different mental tasks. This result was only found when these individuals were in unstable environments. Therefore, this study is exploring whether a link exists between an unstable childhood and various aspects of problem solving skills.

Interpersonal Values and Political Orientation ::

Andrew Reilly, Arran Gare, Christine Critchley
Swinburne University of Technology

This study aims to investigate the relationship between peoples’ attitudes towards other people and their political values, as there has been very little research in this area to date. Interpersonal values are the values that people have concerning their interactions with other people. For example, some people enjoy spending time with others and working together, while other people prefer to spend time alone and working by themselves. All of these values can be considered to be important in some way, and the purpose of this study is to see whether they are related to the kind of political values people have. The purpose of this study is not to ‘pigeon-hole’ people, but to gain an understanding into how people’s values are expressed in our political systems.
Participants need to have voted in at least 3 elections in the last 10 years. Prize draw for $AU100 gift voucher.

Development of a Self-Report Measure of Reward Responsivity ::

John Hughes; Jean-François Etter
University of Vermont; University of Genevaonline pa

Decreased reward responsivity is usually defined as a reduction in the reinforcing efficacy of most rewards (nb – we are using the term “reward” to refer to presumed reinforcers). Anhedonia is a related concept that is typically defined as decreased pleasure from rewards. Apathy is also a related concept that is typically defined as reduced motivation to acquire rewards. However, there is often substantial overlap in how the three are defined. All three constructs have been hypothesized to occur in several psychiatric disorders such as depression, drug abuse, schizophrenia, and alexithymia. The aim of this study is to develop a self-report measure of reward responsivity/anhedonia/apathy.

Evaluation of Person Interactions ::

Susanne Quadflieg
New York University

This experiment has ended. Here is a debriefing and description of what was done: "In our study, we presented participants with a series of photographs. Each photograph showed two people involved in an interaction. For instance, participants would see a person giving a gift to another, two people carrying boxes, a couple dancing and so on. In each picture, one of the two individuals was marked with a star (*). Participants were asked to focus on this target when making their judgments. For each picture, we asked participants to indicate whether the person seemed intelligent, likeable, animate, able to have emotions, and machine-like. We also asked participants to rate whether they would find “seeing a person acting like this” believable, eerie, and safe. At the end of the survey, we asked participants to complete a short personality questionnaire and to answer some demographic questions (age, gender, education, religion, nationality). We are interested in how ratings on the above dimensions may differ depending on whether a person is engaged in a mainly instrumental interaction (e.g., one person helping another with carrying boxes) or in a mainly social interaction (e.g., one person engaging in a chat with another), and whether differences (if any) are influenced by a perceiver’s personality and demographic background." The instructions were: "You will be asked to look at a series of person interactions and to evaluate each interaction according to several dimensions (e.g., how safe, intelligent, likeable etc. a target person seems to you). At the end of the study, we will ask you to provide some personality information (e.g., whether you consider yourself calm, extraverted etc.) and demographic information (e.g., your age, gender, nationality). Participation will take you about 30 min. "

Where’s My Mind? A Mobile App Study for Android Phone Users ::

Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna & Joanna J. Arch
University of Colorado, Boulder

Do you ever wonder what you’re thinking about? Do you ever find yourself lost in thought? Do your thoughts make you feel inspired? Anxious? Happy? Do you wish you could gain a better sense of your thoughts and see how they compare to others’? Welcome to Where’s My Mind?, an app that helps you answer these questions by allowing you to track your thoughts at random moments throughout the day. By using this app, you will also help make possible the development of a large international database of internal thinking. This database will help foster important future scientific research. How does this app work? This app is divided into 4 parts. Each part is described below. • Part 1 will ask some basic questions about you (such as the country you live in), and when you wake up and go to bed (which tells the app when to track your thoughts). This part will take about 3 minutes. • Part 2 will ask you questions about your beliefs, feelings, and goals. This part will take about 3-5 minutes. • Part 3 will help you track your thoughts over multiple days. The app will send a notification to your device at 4 random times each day during waking hours, helping you to record the nature of your thoughts and activities immediately prior to receiving the notification. Responding to a notification takes only 1-2 minutes. • Part 4. After responding to 40 notifications, you will have the opportunity to view your thought report and compare your thoughts to those of other users. You can choose to see graphs displaying what kinds of things you typically think about, whether you find your thoughts to be helpful or unhelpful, how often your thoughts are focused on-task versus off-task, and more! Your graphs will be updated as you continue to use the app and as the database grows.
