Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This paper considers the influence of temperamental factors on the development of anxious symptoms in children and adolescents.
About 20 percent of healthy children are born with a temperamental bias that predisposes them to be highly reactive to unfamiliar stimulation as infants and to be fearful of or avoidant to unfamiliar events and people as young children. Experiences act on this initial temperamental bias and, by adolescence, about one-third of this group is likely to show signs of serious social anxiety. These children are also likely to have one or more biological features, including a sympathetically more reactive cardiovascular system, asymmetry of cortical activation in EEG favoring a more active right frontal area, more power in the EEG in the higher frequency range, and a narrower facial skeleton. The data imply that this temperamental bias should be conceptualized as constraining the probability of developing a consistently fearless and spontaneous profile rather than as determining an anxious or introverted phenotype.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This Monograph reports theoretically relevant behavioral, biological, and self-report assessments of a sample of 14-17-year-olds who had been classified into one of four temperamental groups at 4 months of age. The infant temperamental categories were based on observed behavior to a battery of unfamiliar stimuli. The infants classified as high reactive (20% of the sample) displayed vigorous motor activity and frequent crying. Those classified as low reactives (40%) displayed minimal motor activity and crying. About 25% of the infants, called distressed, showed minimal motor activity but cried frequently, and 10%, characterized by vigorous motoricity but little crying, were called aroused. Evaluations of these children at 14 and 21 months, and 4, 7, and 11 years revealed that the high reactives were most likely to be avoidant of unfamiliar events at the early ages and emotionally subdued, cautious, and wary of new situations at the later ages. By contrast, the low reactives were the least avoidant of unfamiliarity in the second year and most emotionally spontaneous and sociable at the later ages. The participants in the other two groups displayed intermediate profiles. At age 11 years, the high reactives were more likely than the low reactives to display right hemisphere activation in the EEG, a larger evoked potential from the inferior colliculus, larger event related waveforms to discrepant scenes, and greater sympathetic tone in the cardiovascular system. The current evaluation revealed that, at 14-17 years of age, more high than low reactives were likely to be subdued in unfamiliar situations, to report a dour mood and anxiety over the future, to be more religious, to display sympathetic tone in the cardiovascular system, to combine a fast latency with a large magnitude of the evoked potential from the inferior colliculus, and to show shallower habituation of the event-related potential to discrepant visual events. As at earlier ages, there were low correlations among the biological measures. However, there was stronger dissociation between behavior and biology at age 15 than at earlier ages. Finally, infant temperamental category at 4 months was not a less powerful predictor of behavior at age 15 than the combination of temperament and fearful behavior in the second year.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Development of the characteristics of social phobia often requires a diathesis in the form of a temperamental bias. A behavioral profile marked by vigorous motor activity and crying to unfamiliar stimuli at 4 months of age - called high reactivity- is characteristic of about 20% of healthy, Caucasian infants. This pattern predicts shy behavior in preschool children and symptoms of social anxiety at age 7, and, at age 11, a subdued personality and biological features that are consonant with a hypothesis of amygdalar excitability. The biological variables that best characterize the children who had been high-reactive infants are right-hemisphere activity in the electroencephalogram (EEC), a larger evoked potential from the inferior colliculus, higher sympathetic tone in the cardiovascular system, and larger event-related potentials to discrepant stimuli. About a quarter of 11-year-olds who had been high reactives displayed behavioral and biological characteristics that are in theoretical accord with the hypothesis of amygdalar excitability, while only 1 of 20 displayed a profile characterized by features in opposition to their temperament. The evidence points to a modest temperamental contribution to the development of symptoms currently regarded as diagnostic of social phobia.

First, the concept of morality refers to a developmental cascade of phenomena whose essential features are (a) inhibition of punished acts; (b) a representation of prohibited actions; (c) the emotions of uncertainty, empathy, shame, and guilt; (d) the semantic concepts of good and bad; (e) accepting the moral obligations of social categories; and (f) the concepts of fairness and the ideal. The inhibition of prohibited actions and the cognitive representation of prohibited behaviors, as well as the affect states that follow violations, appear by the end of the second year of life. The concepts of good and bad appear early in the third year, the experience of guilt and awareness of social categories by 4-6 years, and the notions of fairness, the ideal, and relational social categories during the school years. Second, some of the variation in the intensity and frequency of the moral emotions is attributable to the child's temperament. Eleven-year-old children who had been high-reactive infants and admitted to feelings of guilt when they violated a family standard were cortically and autonomically more aroused than the low reactives who reported equally frequent experiences of guilt. Further, high reactives who were perceived by their mothers as highly sensitive to punishment were biologically more aroused than high reactives perceived as less sensitive. Both universal developmental phenomena tied to brain maturation and temperamental variation associated with neurochemistry contribute to the complex phenomena that constitute the moral domain. The role of affect in promoting the adherence to standards remains controversial. Kant believed that people acted morally because acceptance of the categorical imperative required proper behavior-reason was the guardian of social harmony. Peirce and Dewey, by contrast, argued that anticipation of the emotions of anxiety, shame, and guilt motivated loyalty to the community's ethical standards. The fact that adults pay to watch a film that they know will generate a deep feeling of sadness--an emotion most do not seek or welcome in their daily lives--and will remark that they enjoyed the movie warrants an explanation. One possibility is that the experienced emotion affirms their moral values. The Australian film The Rabbit Proof Fence describes three aboriginal sisters who have been taken from their mother to a camp a thousand miles away to be socialized in Australian values. The three girls run away, and most of the film illustrates the hardships that they endure and their close escapes from the authorities who are pursuing them as they walk the thousand miles to reach their home. The audience's empathic sadness for the children affirms their moral belief that children should love their parents and miss their home. I suspect that those in the audience who felt the most intense sadness would praise the film with greater enthusiasm than those who had muted feelings. Because sadness is an emotion that few enjoy or try to attain, there must be another reason for deciding that the film was gratifying. The affirmation of one's moral beliefs could be that source of gratification. The tension between the importance of a rational and the importance of an affective basis for morality is seen in modern industrialized societies where the balance between the feeling of virtue that follows enhancing another and the pleasure that follows the enhancing of self has shifted toward favoring the latter state. Increasing numbers of Americans do not regard their gender, ethnicity, vocation, place of residence, or friendships or the religion of their parents as distinctive sources of virtue. As a result, they are freed from the moral obligations that were attached to these categories in the past and rely primarily on the anticipation of sensory delight and self-enhancement as guides for action and sources of reassurance that they are managing their lives correctly. Although it is likely that future scientists will synthesize a drug that blocks feelings of guilt without affecting the knowledge that an act is wrong, it is less certain that broad use of this drug would eliminate loyalty to the mutual obligations that make a society habitable. Nonetheless, a posture of vigilance is appropriate, for humans, unlike gorillas, can hold representations of envy, hostility, and anger, even toward those whom they have never met, for a very long time. Therefore, empathy and the anticipation of guilt or shame may restrain rudeness, dishonesty, and aggression when reason fails.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The discovery of pharmacologic interventions that mute the intensity of anxiety and guilt in some individuals has been a benevolent gift to those who suffer from these disabling states. Although some commentators have wondered about the social consequences of large numbers of asymptomatic persons taking these drugs, few have questioned the advantages for the smaller group of anguished patients. It is likely, however, that, during the next century, scientists will discover a drug that eliminates the feeling components of guilt and remorse while leaving intact the semantic knowledge that certain acts are ethically improper. An individual who took this drug regularly would continue to know that deceiving a friend, lying to a client, and stealing from an employer are morally wrong but would be protected from the uncomfortable feeling of guilt or remorse that accompanies a violation of a personal moral standard. It is reasonable to wonder, therefore, whether our society would be changed in a major way if many citizens were protected from guilt and remorse. Most Western philosophers, especially Kant, made reason the bedrock of conscience. People acted properly, Kant believed, because they knew that the behavior was morally right. All individuals wish to regard the self as virtuous and try to avoid the uncertainty that follows detection of the inconsistency that is created when they behave in ways that are not in accord with their view of the self's desirable attributes. Kant believed that, although the moral emotions restrain asocial acts, they were not necessary for the conduct of a moral life. On the other hand, some philosophers, such as Peirce and Dewey, argued that anticipation of anxiety, shame, and guilt motivate a continued loyalty to one's ethical standards. A person who was certain that he or she was protected from these uncomfortable emotions would find it easier to ignore the moral imperatives acquired during childhood and adolescence. It is not obvious that a drug that blocks remorse also will eliminate the mutual social obligations that make a society habitable; nonetheless, a posture of vigilance that is appropriate for--unlike gorillas--humans can hold representations of envy, anger, and dislike toward people they have never met for a very long time. While we wait for future inquiry to resolve this issue, it is useful to acknowledge that a satisfying analysis of this problem will require a deeper appreciation of the differences between the representations of the biological events that are the foundation of an emotion and the representations that define the semantic networks for the concepts good and bad.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
This study assessed a large group of adolescents, 15 to 16 years old, who have been members of a longitudinal sample classified originally at 4 months of age as high or low reactive to unfamiliar events.
The behavioural and biological features that are the expected outcomes of high or low reactivity were present. Specifically, more high than low reactive adolescents were affectively subdued while interacting with the unfamiliar examiner in the laboratory setting and in the interview at home.
Further, the high reactives described self as less relaxed and more worried about unfamiliar social situations than low reactives. In addition, the adolescents who had high reactive showed shallower habituation of the N400 waveform to discrepant scenes and sentences that ended with a word that rendered the sentence incongruous. Finally, the high reactives were more likely to display sympathetic tone in the cardiovascular system; more low reactives displayed greater parasympathetic tone. This evidence implies that aspects of the infant temperaments are preserved for 15 years and supports the assumption that the two groups differ in the inherited neurochemistry of the amygdala and its projections.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Findings in parapsychology suggest an effect of distant intentionality. Two laboratory set-ups explored this topic by measuring the effect of a distant intention on psychophysiological variables. The DMILS (direct mental interaction in living systems) experiments investigate the effect of various intentions on the electrodermal activity (EDA) of a remote subject. The "Remote Staring" experiments examine whether gazing by an observer (starer) covaries with the electrodermal activity of the person being observed (staree).
In two meta-analyses (Schmidt, Schneider, Utts & Walach, 2004) it became obvious that the remote staring studies had a lower overall quality than the DMILS studies. While there are some high quality DMILS studies (score over 90%) the highest quality in Remote Staring studies is 71%.
Thus there is a lack in studies with good methodology to assess the remote staring paradigm. We conducted a remote staring study that intended to overcome methodological shortcomings of earlier studies.
Fifty participants were invited to take part as starees. After completing questionnaires on mindfulness, mood, personality and paranormal belief they rested in a comfortable position in front of a video camera while their EDA was continuously monitored. The experimenter also acted as the starer and either observed or did not observe the participant through a closed circuit television system according to a random schedule. EDA during stare and non-stare epochs was compared for significant differences.
In addition to this basic (replication) set-up two new hypotheses were tested. The participant had the possibility to press a button whenever s/he feels stared at. This added a conscious response variable without engaging into the disadvantages of the standard conscious guessing paradigm (guessing strategies, response bias etc). Furthermore the distraction of the starer's intention during non-stare epochs was varied. In one condition s/he was mentally occupied by a cognitive task, in the other s/he was just told not to stare (standard condition). We hypothesized that the distraction from the target in the standard condition was too weak to avoid an unwanted intentional effect in the staree.
Overall we did not find any staring effect at all, not in the EDA data and not in the 'conscious' open response situation. The difference between the conditions were the sender was distracted or not distracted was not significant (p=.07) but for the condition where the starers were distracted (N=20) we found a medium effect size for a staring effect according.

Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Clinicians and researchers have been documenting the deleterious effects of institutional rearing on multiple developmental domains of young children. Most of these studies were conducted in very deprived institutional settings. In Portugal there is a lack of empirical evidence about the developmental effects in children reared in institutions. The sample is composed by fifty children early deprived from parental care and placed in institutions from birth to 30 months. Two groups of children were assessed: children newly admitted at the institution (Group 1) and children that had been at the institution for at least 6 months (Group 2). The measures were: a) standard measures of weight, height, head circumference for physical growth; b) the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III for assessment of cognitive development; c) saliva samples for determination the cortisol levels; d) Ages & Stages Questionnnaires – SE for social-emotional development (Squires,Bricker & Twombly, 2002), and the Infant Characteristics Questionnaire (Bates, Freeland & Lounsbury,1979) to assess temperament. Physical growth and neuro-cognitive functioning differences will be examined between groups. In addition, intra-group variability in neuro-cognitive functioning and social emotional development will be explored within Group 2 as a function of the length of institutional rearing.

Postpartum depression and infant temperament: A longitudinal Portuguese study
Publication year: 2016

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background: There have been extensive studies showing an association between maternal postnatal depression and infant temperament difficulties. Nonetheless, studies including both mothers and fathers and measures both during pregnancy and postpartum are scarce. Aim: To investigate the association between both maternal and paternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy and after childbirth and child temperament. Methods: The sample is composed of 90 mothers and 70 fathers and their babies. Data on parental depressive symptoms was collected at 33-36 weeks of gestation and at 6 months after childbirth using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; Cox, Holden, & Sagovsky, 1987). Data on infant temperament was collected at 6 months after childbirth using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ; Rothbart, 1981). Results: Paternal depressive symptoms during gestation was associated with higher perception of infant sadness at 6 months (p<0.05). Significant association was found between maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and perception of both infant sadness (p<0.05) and infant falling reactivity (p<.05): more postpartum depressive symptoms was associated with higher perception of infant sadness and lower infant falling reactivity. Discussion: Associations between parental depressive symptoms and infant temperament differs in mothers and fathers. While in fathers there is only an association between prenatal depressive symptoms and infant temperament, in mothers there is only an association postnatal depressive symptoms and infant temperament.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Interoception, the sensitivity to visceral sensations, is thought to be the fundamental basis for subjective feeling states, shaping our experiences of the world around us. Despite much speculation regarding the developmental origins of interoception, research in developmental samples has been restricted to older childhood due to significant methodological limitations. Therefore, the developmental trajectory of interoception, and the role it plays in emerging social, emotional and cognitive skills, remains unknown. Here, we present the first ever study of interoception in pre-verbal infants. We develop a novel behavioural measure of interoceptive sensitivity, and demonstrate that 5-month old infants do indeed have an implicit awareness of visceral sensations that can guide preferences in the environment. We also report the presence of a neural marker of interoceptive processing, the heartbeat evoked potential (HEP), which correlates with our behavioural measure and also shows state fluctuations according to emotional processing demands as it does in adults. This demonstrates that even at this early age, infants’ experiences of emotions appear to be closely influenced by their visceral reactions. Finally, we show that the extent to which infants’ HEPs are differentially amplified by negative emotions is associated with the negative emotional aspect of their temperament. Infants with a more negative temperament may be more influenced by their physiological responses during observation of negative emotions. These results have important implications for the development of social cognition and self-regulation, and consequently may play a determining role in infants’ later attachment, personality traits and cognitive abilities.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Interoception, the sensitivity to visceral sensations, plays an important role in homeostasis and guiding motivated behaviour. It is also considered to be fundamental to self-awareness. Despite its importance, the developmental origins of interoceptive sensitivity remain unexplored. We here provide the first evidence for implicit, flexible interoceptive sensitivity in 5-month old infants using a novel behavioural measure, coupled with an established cortical index of interoceptive processing. These findings have important implications for the understanding of the early developmental stages of self-awareness, self-regulation and socio-emotional abilities.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Humans possess extraordinary skills at understanding the mental processes of others. Yet, significant interindividual variability exists in the development of socio-cognitive skills. Findings suggest that anxious-reactive temperament is related to slower development of understanding the mental states of others, but the mechanisms underlying this effect are poorly understood. As social interactions are an important source of life stress, the ability to regulate stress responses may be linked to acute social cognition in difficult situations, ultimately determining socio-cognitive development.
AIMS
This project aimed at investigating the link between physiological stress regulation, and behavioural and neural markers of social cognition under stress. As measures of physiological regulation, we used heart rate variability (HRV) and frequency of physical exercise, a well-known influence on physiological regulation.
METHOD
Participants engaged in a reaction-time task designed to measure spontaneous social perspective taking. This was combined with a mental arithmetic stress induction and, for study 2, functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants also rated their predicted anger response to hypothetical frustrating situations, and underwent measurement of HRV and self-reported exercise.
RESULTS
Compared to participants in the low exercise group, participants in the high exercise group showed stronger social perspective taking under stress, and scored lower on predicted anger. Across participants, stress induction reduced reactivity of brain areas associated with social cognition to the perspective taking task.
CONCLUSIONS
At the neural level, there is a clear suppression of social cognition under stress, supporting the notion that difficult social situations may have a negative impact on our ability to understand the other person. Physical exercise emerged as the strongest predictor of social cognition under stress, suggesting that high physical fitness supports regulation in stressful social situations.
