    Neurobehavioral mechanisms of social cognition and emotion regulation: A behavioral and functional brain imaging approach

    No full text
    The ability to process relevant social and emotional information while inhibiting the impact of unwanted negative one is critical to everyday functioning and well-being. Deficits in these processes, related to social cognition and emotion regulation, are oftentimes a hallmark of psychopathological conditions. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the neurobehavioral mechanisms associated with these socioemotional processes would provide unique insights into the factors that may render individuals susceptible to or resilient against socioemotional distress. Despite significant advances in cognitive neuroscience, however, a comprehensive approach to investigate the mechanisms of socioemotional functioning is still scarce. Therefore, there is a need to capitalize on a broad set of approaches for the examination of socioemotional factors at multiple levels (i.e., brain function, behavior, and individual differences), in order to better understand the interplay of emotion and cognition with increased ecological validity. These issues were investigated using a multi-method approach involving functional brain imaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography) in conjunction with behavioral tasks (social evaluation, emotion regulation, episodic memory), and measures of individual differences. Such an approach is essential to elucidate the mechanisms of socioemotional functioning, which may inform the development of novel theoretical frameworks that will lead to the design of assessment tools and interventions that promote social and emotional well-being.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Yuta Katsumi, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-19 at 11:10.The student, Yuta Katsumi, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-04-19 at 11:11.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-04-19 at 12:08.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13625 on 2019-08-22 at 16:21:24Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:47:24Z (GMT).

    Neural signatures of ethnic in-group bias in observing dynamic social interactions

    No full text
    Despite evidence for the role of nonverbal communication in the evaluation of social interactions, little is known about the mechanisms through which nonverbal behaviors of individuals of different ethnic groups influence such evaluations. Here, Caucasian participants underwent fMRI recording while observing social interactions with ethnically in-group and out-group members displaying approach and avoidance behaviors. Each behavior was preceded or not by a handshake, and was followed by participants’ ratings of the behavior. Brain imaging assessments identified evidence for ethnic in-group biases in evaluating specific nonverbal behaviors, in the absence of differences in the explicit behavioral ratings. First, the amygdala and dorso-medial prefrontal cortex showed sensitivity to in-group approach behaviors relative to control, and positive associations with the ratings for in-group approach behaviors. Second, enhanced functional connectivity between the amygdala and dorso-medial prefrontal cortex further clarified the mechanisms involved in the processing of in-group approach behaviors. Third, the posterior superior temporal sulcus and nucleus accumbens showed sensitivity to in-group handshakes, which was also linked to the positive impact of handshakes on in-group evaluations. Overall, these findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying intergroup social evaluations, and provide evidence for the neural signatures of ethnic in-group biases to approach and expected greeting behaviors.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-08-01The student, Yuta Katsumi, accepted the attached license on 2015-07-20 at 15:26.The student, Yuta Katsumi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-07-20 at 21:02.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-07-21 at 08:54.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8570 on 2015-09-29 at 15:06:37Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-29T21:08:17Z (GMT).

    Stylops borcherti Luna de Carvalho, 1974, stat. restit. Stylops borcherti Luna de Carvalho, 1974: 349, F. Type locality: Spain, Madrid, Alcalá de Henares. Host. Andrena (Melandrena) albopunctata (Rossi, 1792) (LUNA DE CARVALHO 1974). Note. This name is possibly a synonym, but it is unclear whether it belongs to S. melittae or S. ater, both known from the subgenus Melandrena in Europe. The latter species was used for comparison to S. borcherti by the original author, but we expect rather synonymy with S. melittae because S. melittae is known to occur in Spain, whereas S. ater is not (LUNA DE CARVALHO 1974). No DNA sequence is known for Stylops from this host species. The status of this species is restituted for the time being until its status is clarified using integrative taxonomy or from the study of the type material.Published as part of Straka, Jakub, Jůzová, Kateřina & Nakase, Yuta, 2015, Nomenclature and taxonomy of the genus Stylops (Strepsiptera): an annotated preliminary world checklist, pp. 305-332 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 55 (1) on page 311, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.530438

    New trade models, same old emissions?

    No full text
    This paper investigates the elusive role of productivity heterogeneity in new trade models in the trade and environment nexus. We contrast the Eaton-Kortum and the Melitz models with firm heterogeneity to the Armington and Krugman models without heterogeneity. We show that if firms have a constant emission share in terms of sales - as they do in a wide range of trade and environment models - the three models' emission predictions exactly coincide. Conversely, if firms have a constant emission intensity per quantity - a prominent alternative in the literature - the emission equivalence between the three models breaks. We provide a generalization that nests both constant emission shares in sales and constant quantity emission intensities as special cases. We calibrate the models to global production and trade data and use German firm-level data to estimate the key elasticity of how emission intensity changes with productivity. Our multi-industry quantification demonstrates that the role of firm heterogeneity depends both on the model and the estimated parameters. Moving from the Armington model to the EK model increases the emissions effect on trade, while moving from the Krugman model to the Melitz model decreases the emission effects on trade

    New Trade Models, Same Old Emissions?

    This paper investigates the role of firm heterogeneity in environmentally extended new trade models, contrasting Eaton-Kortum and Melitz models to Armington and Krugman models. We show that when emissions per sales are constant across firms -- a standard assumption in the literature -- all four models predict identical emission responses. However, when emissions per quantity are constant across firms, this equivalence breaks. We propose a generalized framework that nests both assumptions. Calibrating the model with multiple industries and estimating the key elasticity between emission intensity and productivity using German firm-level data, we find that firm heterogeneity considerably raises emissions from trade liberalization
