They were then presented with affect-inducing images while brain event-related potentials (ERPs) and startle reflex modulation (SRM) were recorded to determine non-language-based processes. Explicit valence and arousal ratings for each image were taken to determine subjective affective effects. Results indicated no significant group differences for explicit ratings and SRM. However, ERP results demonstrated significant group differences between the ‘pleasant’ and ‘violent’ emotion condition in the frontal, central and parietal areas across both hemispheres. These findings suggest that parts of the brain process affective stimuli different to what conscious appraisal comes up with in participants varying in self-reported aggression.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:06:51 AEDT ]]> Prevent 2nd stroke: a pilot study of an online secondary prevention program for stroke survivors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37037 Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:03:29 AEDT ]]> Do varying levels of exposure to pornography and violence have an effect on non-conscious emotion in men? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45005 Wed 22 Mar 2023 18:24:27 AEDT ]]> Exercise as treatment for youth with major depression: the Healthy Body Healthy Mind feasibility study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38246 Wed 18 Aug 2021 15:42:37 AEST ]]> Conscious and non-conscious measures of emotion: do they vary with frequency of pornography use? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30744 N = 52) who reported viewing various amounts of pornography were presented with emotion inducing images. Brain Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded and Startle Reflex Modulation (SRM) was applied to determine non-conscious emotion processes. Explicit valence and arousal ratings for each image presented were also taken to determine conscious emotion effects. Conscious explicit ratings revealed significant differences with respect to “Erotic” and “Pleasant” valence (pleasantness) ratings depending on pornography use. SRM showed effects approaching significance and ERPs showed changes in frontal and parietal regions of the brain in relation to “Unpleasant” and “Violent” emotion picture categories, which did not correlate with differences seen in the explicit ratings. Findings suggest that increased pornography use appears to have an influence on the brain’s non-conscious responses to emotion-inducing stimuli which was not shown by explicit self-report.]]> Wed 14 Nov 2018 13:30:24 AEDT ]]> Communication skills in psychiatry training https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21216 Wed 11 Apr 2018 18:06:30 AEST ]]> Interventions to improve screening and appropriate referral of patients with cancer for distress: systematic review protocol https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20993 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:59:54 AEST ]]> Psychosocial well-being and gay identity development https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2711 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:27:47 AEST ]]> Eating As Treatment (EAT) study protocol: a stepped-wedge, randomised controlled trial of a health behaviour change intervention provided by dietitians to improve nutrition in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21012 60 Gy) with curative intent, will be recruited from radiotherapy departments at 5 Australian sites.
