The authors examined associations between 5-factor personality traits and retirement in a diverse community sample. Longitudinal analyses (n = 367) compared personality trajectories of participants who remained employed and participants...
Not much is known about the effects of saliva on bitter taste modulation, although there has been evidence suggesting a relationship between proline-rich proteins and increased acceptance of tannin-containing diets. This experiment was...
Mating incurs costs to lifespan across species. Given that mating is a necessity for survival of most species, but yet has health costs, a method of modulating reproductive strategies under various environmental conditions to give...
Neuroimaging studies of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) suggest that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) region is responsive to a wide variety of stimuli and psychological states, such as pain, cognitive control, and...
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis, and BDNF plasma and serum levels have been associated with depression, Alzheimer's disease, and other psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders....
The stability of individual differences in personality traits is typically examined at the group level with test-retest correlations across two assessments. For 684 subjects (age range 17-76) we computed individual coefficients from...
There is growing evidence that personality traits are affected by many genes, all of which have very small effects. As an alternative to the largely unsuccessful search for individual polymorphisms associated with personality traits, the...
Overconsumption of highly palatable "junk food" contributes to obesity and related metabolic disorders. This project investigated the brain circuitry that allows such eating in excess of the body's energy requirements. We hypothesized...
The small golden ant Pheidole morrisi Forel is the most common ant of the Apalachicola National Forest, a typical longleaf pine flat-woods ecosystem and is found in pine forests across the eastern U.S. P. morrisi likely plays a...
Social defeat has become a relevant topic of research due to the prevalence of bullying and violence in our society and the lasting behavioral and physiological effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In contrast, ...
This study provides evidence that an Italian version of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a reliable and valid self-report measure. In an Italian sample (N = 600), the PANAS showed solid psychometric properties, and...
Paternal behavior is an interesting and important research topic due to its integral contribution to the fitness and well-being of multiple species, including humans. Although paternal behavior is well described in literature, attempts...
The structure and psychometric characteristics of the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3), a more readable version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), are examined and compared with NEO-PI-R characteristics using data...
AIMS: Investigating the association between personality traits and smoking status using a comprehensive model of personality, the Five-Factor Model (FFM). DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. Setting Baltimore, MD, USA. Participants Adult...
We examined developmental trends in personality traits over a 42-year time period by using data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (N = 2, 359; individuals aged 17-98), collected from 1958 to 2002. Hierarchical linear modeling...
The goals of this cross-sectional study were to explore correlates of walking speed in a large wide age-ranged population and to identify factors affecting lower walking speed at older ages. Participants were 3, 872 community-dwelling...
