With the proposed study we want to gain insight into the neaural mechanisms underlying (the development of) shame-proneness and fear of failure. We want to investigate whether the administration of oxytocin modulates effects of love withdrawal and…
The proposed study has two objectives. First, we will examine the neural mechanisms of aversive responding to infant cries in healthy female subjects. We will compare participants who showed high cardiovascular responses to infant cries with…
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
In this study we focus on behavior in response to different infant signals, including crying as well as smiling. More specifically we investigate the behavioral differences of an individual towards different infants who are either perceived as happy…
In this study we will assess these prosocial effects in an objective way i.e. by means of computer tasks and we will investigate the role of two potential mediators and the role of a genotype variant in the mechanism underlying prosocial behavior.…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
Our study aims at investigating whether male adults with ASD differ from healthy male adults in their neurophysiological responses to positive and negative empathy-evoking pictures when taking oxytocin intranasally once. To this end we will compare…
In this study neural responses to infant crying will be measured with fMRI. In addition, the neural base of emotion understanding will be examined with fMRI. Participants will look at pictures of adults and infant and they have to infer the mental…
- to assess the effects of intranasal administration of oxytocin in comparison to placebo on trust, as measured by the behavioural response to the Trust game- to assess the effects of intranasal administration of oxytocin in comparison to placebo on…
