This article presents a large-scale, empirical evaluation of the psychophysiological correlates political ideology and, in particular, claim that conservatives react with higher levels electrodermal activity to threatening stimuli than liberals. We (1) conduct two large replications this claim, using locally representative samples Danes and Americans; (2) reanalyze all published studies evaluat...

Individuals confront the continuing challenge of attending to the competing demands of internal and external stimuli. The emerging I-Self applies three principles of evaluation, categorization, and subsidiation to organize these informational demands. These principles guide the development of the five systems of personality--cognition, affect, motivation, behavior, and psychophysiology. These s...

The study contains the theoretical review of different historical approaches to the study of typological properties of a man. One of the well-known typological systems in foreign psychology has been developed in constitutionology, juvenility characteristics, however, haven’t been included in its structure. On the basis of the studied samples the authors of the research consider the empirical pr...

Remembering something that has not in fact been experienced is commonly referred to as false memory. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm is a well-elaborated approach to this phenomenon. This study attempts to investigate the peripheral physiology of false memories induced in a visual DRM paradigm. The main research question is whether false recognition is different from true recognitio...

Recent studies in psychophysiology show an increased attention for examining the reliability of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), which are measures of cognitive control (e.g., Go/No-Go tasks). An important index of reliability is the internal consistency (e.g., Cronbach's alpha) of a measure. In this study, we examine the internal consistency of the N2 and P3 in a Go/No-Go task. Furthermore, we...

Summar)-Behavioral inhibition system (BIS) functioning (Gray, The Psychology of Fear and Stress. Cambridge University Press, 1987) was assessed by measuring whether approach responses were emitted more slowly when a cue for punishment was present. Experiment 1 compared highand low-anxious as well as highand low-impulsive university students. As predicted by Gray’s model (Gray, The neuropsycholo...

Psychophysiological diagnostic and therapeutic methods, to include biofeedback, have been found to be empirically effective in the treatment of a variety of physical disorders. In many areas of the country, however, certified biofeedback practitioners are not well distributed, limiting patient access to this treatment modality. Psychologists at Tripler Army Medical Center have pioneered efforts...

This paper is concerned with the use of real-time psychophysiological monitoring to control the interaction between the player and the computer game. In the context of the current paper, psychophysiology is used to represent the cognitive/motivational/emotional state of the player. The paper explores fundamental concepts and assumptions underpinning the design of a physiological computer game, ...
