The Effects of Acetaminophen on Aggression Using the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm
Full text linkAcetaminophen, the active ingredient in the popular over-the-counter analgesic Tylenol, has recently been found to have effects on psychological responses other than just reducing pain. Prior work in the laboratory has found that acetaminophen increases aggressive behavior on one laboratory measure of aggression, the Competitive Reaction Time task. The goal of this experiment was to further explore these social side effects and determine if the increase in aggressive behavior after taking acetaminophen generalizes to a different laboratory aggression paradigm, the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm (PSAP). The PSAP is a computer task in which participants engage in a competitive point-earning game with a fictitious opponent. Participants (N = 106) received 1000mg of acetaminophen or placebo and one hour later completed a 10-minute session of the PSAP. There was no effect of acetaminophen on aggressive responding. However, the acetaminophen group had marginally significant reductions in aggressive motivations and emotions. Participants receiving acetaminophen also accurately perceived the number of points subtracted from them by their opponent (i.e. provocations), whereas the placebo group underestimated the number. Thus, the increase in aggressive behavior seen on the CRT does not appear to generalize to the PSAP. The reductions in aggressive emotions and motivations for those in the acetaminophen condition on the PSAP suggest that drug effects may vary by the situation. This work is important in understanding the psychological side effects of a drug that is used by many people on a regular basis.A five-year embargo was granted for this item.Academic Major: Psycholog
Exercising Your Author Rights: How to Effectively Share Your Scholarship
Full text linkMost scholars have a cursory understanding of copyright law and how it applies to their published scholarship. But many don\u27t know that they have rights well before they\u27re asked to sign copyright agreements and that they can use those rights to ensure versions of their works are shared openly, even when not publishing in open access venues. In this talk, Molly Keener, Director of Digital Initiatives & Scholarly Communication at Wake Forest University, will give a mini Copyright 101 primer before looking at common rights clauses in publishing contracts, breaking down how author rights can be exercised to maximize discoverability of scholarship, and identifying resources that scholars can use to make confident determinations of their rights as authors
Pieces of Molly: An ordinary life
No full textPieces of Molly is a memoir with a difference. Told in the first and third person, it offers a perspective on the self not often found in autobiographies. Molly can be seen as everychild - the author and the reader too - showing the everyday pains and difficulties encountered in all our lives. Molly s journey starts as everyone s does, in the womb. In most memoirs the first ten years are swiftly passed over, but here Judith shows us development from conception onwards as Molly begins to grow up in a tiny village on the east coast of England, which we see through her eyes; the eyes of a child born at the end of the Second World War. Pieces of Molly is a map of one small girl s mind, as the barely subdued ordinary terrors of childhood lurk around her world, a girl surrounded by the vibrant life of a working farm at a time when rapid developments are forcing that world to change. Molly is a curious little detective, keen to find out more about life and love. For her, the shadows behind the doors only make sense in hindsight, and buried family secrets come to light as she struggles with the problem of how and who to be in the world
