The Interplay of Brain, Body, and Culture: A Comprehensive Literature Review on Cross-Cultural Psychological Responses to Aesthetic Medicine, Integrating Neurocosmetics and Social Anthropology
No full textBackground: Aesthetic medicine has evolved from a purely cosmetic field to a holistic discipline that intersects with psychological well-being and social identity. This literature review synthesizes findings from neuroscience, psychodermatology, and social anthropology to explore the intricate, bidirectional relationship between aesthetic interventions and psychological responses across diverse cultures.
Methods: A systematic search of academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO, was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles, books, and systematic reviews published primarily within the last decade.
Results: The review's findings are organized into three thematic categories: the neurobiological foundations of the skin-brain axis, the sociocultural and historical drivers of aesthetic ideals, and the complex psychological motivations and outcomes associated with aesthetic pursuits. The analysis reveals that neurocosmetics, through the modulation of cutaneous neuromediators, offers a unique pathway to enhance mood and well-being directly, distinct from the indirect psychological benefits of traditional procedures. Furthermore, the globalization of media and consumerism has created a dominant, often Westernized, beauty ideal, leading to heightened body dissatisfaction and a phenomenon termed the "satisfaction treadmill." The review highlights that a patient's motivation is a complex interplay of internal psychological states and external sociocultural pressures.
Conclusions: The report concludes that a culturally competent, ethically grounded, and interdisciplinary approach is essential for practitioners to navigate this landscape, ensuring interventions are patient-centered and promote genuine, long-term well-being rather than perpetuating unattainable ideals.notReviewedothe

KLARpsy-Text: Fällt es Menschen mit Depressionen schwerer, Gefühle in Gesichtern zu erkennen?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Fällt es Menschen mit Depressionen schwerer, Gefühle in Gesichtern zu erkennen?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Studien haben gezeigt, dass es Menschen mit Depressionen schwerer fällt, Gefühle in Gesichtern richtig zu erkennen. Beispielsweise erkennen sie weniger gut, ob eine Person überrascht oder wütend guckt. Die Ergebnisse sind jedoch nicht immer eindeutig und unterscheiden sich zwischen Studien. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: 1) Können Menschen mit Depressionen Gefühle in Gesichtsausdrücken schwerer erkennen als psychisch Gesunde? 2) Gibt es weitere Merkmale, die den Zusammenhang zwischen Depressionen und dem Erkennen von Gefühlen verstärken oder abschwächen? Menschen mit Depressionen können Gefühle in Gesichtsausdrücken schlechter erkennen als Menschen ohne Depressionen. Dieser Unterschied fällt je nach Gefühl und je nach Schwere der Depression unterschiedlich stark aus.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow

Psychotherapeutic competence and the role of professional self-doubt in novice therapists
No full textBackground:
One of the central goals of research in psychotherapy and therapist training is to investigate what distinguishes competent therapists from less competent ones. In this regard, professional self-doubt plays an important role, as some research shows that therapists with higher levels of professional self-doubt achieve better treatment outcomes. However, the role of professional self-doubt for novice therapists is less clear.
Objectives and Research questions:
This study aims to examine the relationships between professional self-doubt and psychotherapeutic competence in novice therapists.
Participants:
First semester master’s students in clinical psychology and psychotherapy and first semester master’s students in general psychology.
Study method:
This project is a sub-study of a larger longitudinal study. We will use data from the first two of three measurement points from that study. At each measurement point, participants complete an online survey. A sub-sample of participants also engages in role-plays with standardized patients.unknownothe

The Impact of Phonological Co-Activation on Written Language Switching: Part 2
No full textLanguage switching has mostly been investigated when switching while speaking and not while writing. As a result, written language switching and the factors that may impact it are not well-understood. In a previous study (Roembke et al., 2024), it was shown that written language switching is highly facilitated for translation-equivalent word pairs that are identical orthographically (i.e., homographs: TIGER/TIGER [English/German]), even though they mismatched in phonology. Thus, switching facilitation might be the result of limited phonological co-activation when writing homographs, since phonology constitutes the only difference between the translations. In a first experiment (preregistration: https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.12509), we investigated this hypothesis more directly by manipulating the extent to which a word’s phonology had to be activated during written picture naming. Unbalanced German-English bilinguals switched between naming pictures of homographs and quasi-homographs in their dominant versus secondary language. Participants responded by typing the word, and simultaneously speaking the same word in the corresponding language (type-and-speak), tapping their tongue (type-and-tongue-tap) or doing neither (type-only). As predicted, we found larger switch costs in type-and-speak compared to the other conditions, suggesting that bilingual writers can avoid recruiting language-specific phonology when this interferes with their response and producing it is not requested (i.e., when typing without speaking). In this experiment, we aim to replicate this result when non-cognates are included in the stimuli list, reflecting a more standard setting wherein between-language conflict involves also orthographic representations, and not only phonological ones.unknownothe

No full textDiese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Beschreibung von theoretischen Grundlagen und praktischer Anwendung der KörperLeibBewegungs-Musik-Partitur für Integrative leib-musiktherapeutische Diagnostik in der Integrativ-intermedialen Musiktherapie. Der Besondere Fokus richtet sich auf die Objektivierbarkeit des Körpers und der Musik für theragnostische Ziele und diagnostische Prozesse im Sinne der „hermeneutischen Spirale“. Abschließend geht es um den Entwurf von Zukunftsperspektiven – 4E-Kognition/4E-Perspektiven – sowohl für die Weiterentwicklung der Integrativ-intermedialen Musiktherapie als auch der KörperLeibBewegungs-Musik-Partitur.This work deals with the description of theoretical principles and practical application of the Body-Movement-Music-Score for Integrative Body-Music-Therapeutic Diagnostics in Integrative-Intermedial Music Therapy. The special focus is on the objectification of the body and music for theragnostic goals and diagnostic processes in the sense of the “hermeneutic spiral”. Finally, it is about drafting future perspectives – 4E-cognition/4E perspectives – for both the further development of Integrative-Intermedial Music Therapy and the Body-Movement-Music-Score.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/06-2025-skrzypek-h-integrative-leib-musiktherapeutische-diagnostik-in-der-integrativ-intermedialen-musiktherapie/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Ersterhebung der 5. Wiederholungsbefragung 2004 (6. Welle der Berliner Altersstudie)
No full textIntake assessment of the 5th follow-up survey 2004 used during the sixth wave of the Berlin Aging Study. The multidisciplinary Berlin Aging Study (BASE) was conducted by the Research Group on Aging and Societal Development of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences in collaboration with institutes and research centers belonging to the Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. The study was initially directed by a steering committee consisting of the late Paul B. Baltes (chair), head of the BASE Psychology Unit, Karl Ulrich Mayer (vice-chair), head of the BASE Sociology and Social Policy Unit, Hanfried Helmchen, head of the BASE Psychiatry Unit, and Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen, head of the BASE Internal Medicine and Geriatrics Unit. The project was supported financially by several organizations including the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (1989–1991, 13 TA 011 + 13 TA 011/A) and the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth (1992–1998, 314-1722-102/9 + 314-1722-102/9a) as well as by the institutions involved. From 2008 to 2011, it was co-sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (01UW0808). The Center for Lifespan Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has led the project since 2008 and Ulman Lindenberger has meanwhile become the speaker of BASE (see also https://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research/research-centers/lip/projects/aging/base).BASE was established in 1989 to investigate questions about old and very old age from the joint and collaborative perspectives of four disciplines: psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and geriatrics/internal medicine (see Baltes et al., 1993, 2001). The initial goal of BASE (1990–1993) was to obtain extensive baseline information about old and very old age using a 14-session multidisciplinary Intensive Protocol covering older people’s mental and physical health, psychological functioning, and social and economic situation. The study design called for an age-by-sex stratified heterogeneous (locally representative) sample of 70- to over-100-year-olds. The central goal of the longitudinal study was to follow-up the core sample of participants who completed this Intensive Protocol. Extensive information about the baseline sample selectivity, assessment procedures, and cross-sectional findings are reported in Mayer and Baltes (1996; Baltes & Mayer, 1999; Baltes & Smith, 1997; Lindenberger et al., 1999).Ersterhebung der 5. Wiederholungsbefragung 2004 von der sechsten Welle der Berliner Altersstudie. Die multidisziplinäre Berliner Altersstudie (BASE) wurde von der Forschungsgruppe Altern und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Zusammenarbeit mit Instituten und Forschungszentren der Freien Universität Berlin, der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin und dem Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung durchgeführt. Geleitet wurde die Studie zunächst von einem Lenkungsausschuss, bestehend aus dem verstorbenen Paul B. Baltes (Vorsitz), Leiter des BASE-Referats Psychologie, Karl Ulrich Mayer (stellvertretender Vorsitz), Leiter des BASE-Referats Soziologie und Sozialpolitik, Hanfried Helmchen, Leiter des BASE-Referats Psychiatrie, und Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen, Leiterin des BASE-Referats Innere Medizin und Geriatrie. Das Projekt wurde u.a. durch das Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie (1989-1991, 13 TA 011 + 13 TA 011/A) und das Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (1992-1998, 314-1722-102/9 + 314-1722-102/9a) sowie durch die beteiligten Institutionen finanziell unterstützt. Von 2008 bis 2011 wurde es vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (01UW0808) mitgefördert. Das Center for Lifespan Psychology am Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung leitet das Projekt seit 2008 und Ulman Lindenberger ist inzwischen Sprecher von BASE (siehe auch https://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research/research-centers/lip/projects/aging/base).BASE wurde 1989 ins Leben gerufen, um Fragen zum Thema Alter und sehr hohes Alter aus der gemeinsamen und kooperativen Perspektive von vier Disziplinen zu untersuchen: Psychiatrie, Psychologie, Soziologie und Geriatrie/Innere Medizin (siehe Baltes et al., 1993, 2001). Ursprüngliches Ziel der BASE-Studie (1990-1993) war es, mit Hilfe eines multidisziplinären Intensivprotokolls, das 14 Sitzungen umfasste und die geistige und körperliche Gesundheit, das psychologische Funktionieren sowie die soziale und wirtschaftliche Situation älterer Menschen abdeckte, umfassende Basisinformationen über das Alter und das sehr hohe Alter zu erhalten. Das Studiendesign sah eine nach Alter und Geschlecht geschichtete, heterogene (lokal repräsentative) Stichprobe von 70- bis über 100-Jährigen vor. Das Hauptziel der Längsschnittstudie bestand darin, die Kernstichprobe der Teilnehmer, die das Intensivprotokoll absolviert haben, weiter zu verfolgen. Ausführliche Informationen über die Auswahl der Ausgangsstichprobe, die Beurteilungsverfahren und die Querschnittsergebnisse sind in Mayer und Baltes (1996; Baltes & Mayer, 1999; Baltes & Smith, 1997; Lindenberger et al., 1999) zu finden.notReviewedunknow
