Although the definition of nuances as specific variance was later replaced by narrow personality traits measured using a few items, this study laid the foundation for the personality nuances research field. After analyzing the shortcomings of the method of residuals and returning to statistically sound definitions of common and specific variance, we found that the common variance in the facet subscales was nearly double that of the specific variance. At the domain level, the proportion of common variance\u2019s impact was up to nine times greater than that of specific variance, as indicated by their Cronbach alphas. Nevertheless, the specific variance had a much more significant impact on the strength of test\u2013retest correlations and self-other agreement.

The stimuli were created from words with 8 different segmental combinations. The second aim of this study is to map the dialectal variability in Estonian quantity perception. There has been some evidence that listeners from East and South dialect areas are less sensitive to pitch cue than those from North and West. The current study was carried out with 290\u00a0participants of different regional backgrounds. The results showed that different segmental quality sets have slightly different Q2\u2013Q3 category boundaries.

This study investigates the impact of presentation modality (face\u00a0or\u00a0word) on the degree of emotional discrimination elicited by SCR. Facial expressions or words associated with six basic emotions\u2014anger, happiness, disgust, fear, sadness, and surprise\u2014were studied among 102\u00a0participants. The\u00a0amplitude of SCR was accurately predicted by subjective arousal ratings of these stimuli, but not by valence ratings. The habituation process to emotional and neutral stimuli across six successive presentations was characterized by an\u00a0exponential decay function, capturing the rate at which SCR response diminishes in relation to the preceding trial of the same stimulus. Through the subtraction of the response to neutral stimuli from the emotion evoked SCR, it was demonstrated that the\u00a0initial presentation of each emotion elicits a\u00a0substantial response, particularly attributable to the\u00a0emotional content. Notably, the\u00a0initial emotional response to faces expressing happiness, disgust, and sadness surpassed that of words conveying the same emotions.

We examined the influence of surgical masks, worn during a crime event (encoding) and within lineups (retrieval), on eyewitness identification accuracy. In our experiment, 452 participants watched a mock-crime video and identified the perpetrator from either a target-present or a target-absent simultaneous lineup. Contrary to expectations based on the encoding specificity principle, we did not find that matching the presence of masks in the lineup to the encoding condition increased identification accuracy. Instead, compared to the condition with no masks at encoding and retrieval, the presence of masks at either stage negatively affected discriminability and undermined the predictive utility of confidence and decision time. Our findings indicate that when a witness has encountered a masked perpetrator, presenting them with a masked lineup may not be necessary.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Palu, A., Raidvee, A., Murnikov, V., &amp; Kask, K.

It has the potential to predict language development and distinguish between language-impaired and typically developing groups. However, summarizing the MMR\u2019s developmental trajectory in typically developing children remains challenging despite numerous studies. This pioneering meta-analysis outlines changes in MMR amplitude among typically developing children, while offering methodological best-practices. Our search identified 51 articles for methodology analysis and 21 for meta-analysis, involving 0\u20138-year-old participants from 2000 to 2022. Risk of Bias assessment and methodology analysis revealed shortcomings in control condition usage and reporting of study confounders. The meta-analysis results were inconsistent, indicating large effect sizes in some conditions and no effect sizes in others. Subgroup analysis revealed the main effects of age and brain region, as well as an interaction of age and time-window of the MMR. Future research requires a specific protocol, larger samples, and replication studies to deepen the understanding of the auditory discrimination maturation process in children.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Themas, L., Lippus, P., Padrik, M., Kask, L.,\u00a0&amp;<span> <\/span>Kreegipuu, K.

Instead of expected parietal positivity, both the happy faces and words produced significantly more negative responses compared to neutral. Surprise in facial expressions and words elicited a strong early response in the left temporal cortex, which could be a signature of appraisal.

We give an overview of research hypothesizing the shaping of personality traits by culture, reviewing studies of indigenous traits, acculturation and sojourner effects, birth cohorts, social role changes, and ideological interventions. We also consider the possibility that aggregate traits affect culture, through psychological means and gene flow. In all these cases we highlight alternative explanations and the need for designs and analyses that strengthen the interpretation of observations. We offer a set of testable hypotheses based on the premises that personality is adequately described by Five-Factor Theory, and that observed differences in aggregate personality traits across cultures are veridical. It is clear that culture has dramatic effects on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from which we infer traits, but it is not yet clear whether, how, and in what degree culture shapes traits themselves.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide: <\/strong><\/span>Allik, J., Realo, A., &amp; McCrae, R.

Despite the advent of initiatives to increase transparency in research reporting, the field is still lacking tools to verify the credibility of research reports. In the present paper, we describe methodologies that let researchers craft highly credible research and allow their peers to verify this credibility. We demonstrate the application of these methods in a multi-laboratory replication of Bem\u2019s Experiment 1 (Bem 2011 J. Pers. Soc. Psychol. 100, 407\u2013425.

In the study we applied direct data deposition in combination with born-open data and real-time research reports to extend transparency to protocol delivery and data collection. We also used piloting, checklists, laboratory logs and video-documented trial sessions to ascertain as-intended protocol delivery, and external research auditors to monitor research integrity. We found 49.89% successful guesses, while Bem reported 53.07% success rate, with the chance level being 50%. Thus, Bem\u2019s findings were not replicated in our study.

Indeed, we found that age differences were systematically smaller in informant-reports compared to self-reports; this trend was stronger for traits independently rated as socially desirable.

Because the coefficients of regression between the mean RT and |\u0394N| were more directly related to the binomial probability \u03b2 rather than to the standard deviation of the best fitting cumulative normal distribution, it was regarded as evidence that the binomial model with a single parameter \u2014 probability \u03b2 \u2014 is a viable alternative to the customary Thurstonian\u2013Gaussian model.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span style=\"color:#498bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide:<\/strong><\/span> Allik, J.,\u00a0&amp; Raidvee, A.

The first reports of visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) were published\u223c 20 years after the discovery of the auditory MMN (Tales et al., 1999). Thereafter, vMMN has been used to study basic visual feature processing (Czigler et al., 2002; Astikainen et al., 2008; Grimm et al., 2009) as well as complex visual information processing, mostly face information (Astikainen and Hietanen, 2009; Kreegipuu et al., 2013), in normative and clinical populations (for a review see, Kreml\u00e1cek et al., 2016). Later, vMMN, as well as its auditory counterpart, has been linked to predictive coding theory (Stefanics et al., 2014), which states that the brain predicts future events based on the representations of previous sensory events (Friston, 2005). This is well in line with the original idea of Risto N\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4nen that the MMN reflects a memory-comparison process between the sensory memory of the standards and the \u201cdeviant\u201d sensory input (N\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4nen, 1990). In predictive coding framework (v) MMN is suggested to reflect prediction error which occurs when the new sensory input does not fit the predicted model (Friston, 2005). Predictive coding is suggested to be aberrant in several psychiatric conditions (for a recent review, see Smith et al., 2021).

Thirty-three healthy volunteers participated in the vMMN EEG experiment with four experimental sets differing from each other by the type of standard (object with scrambled face features) and the type of deviants (Angry, Happy and Neutral schematic faces) presented. Conscious subjective evaluations of valence, arousal and attention catching of the same stimuli showed clear differentiation of emotional expressions. Deviant faces elicited rather similar vMMN at frontal and occipital sites. Bayesian analyses suggest that vMMN does not differ between angry and happy faces. Neutral faces, however, did not yield statistically significant vMMN at occipital leads. Pearson\u2019s correlation and intra-class correlation analyses showed that the brain\u2019s reactions to the stimuli were highly stable within individuals across the experimental sets, whereas the mismatch responses were much more variable.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide:<\/strong><\/span> Kask, A., P\u00f5ldver, N., Ausmees, L., &amp; Kreegipuu, K.

This phenomenon is better known as auditory perceptual asymmetry. We investigated such asymmetry between shorter or longer duration, and level or falling of pitch of linguistic stimuli that carry a meaning in one language (Estonian), but not in another (Russian). For the mismatch negativity (MMN) experiment, we created four different types of stimuli by modifying the duration of the first vowel [\u0251] (170, 290 ms) and pitch contour (level vs. falling pitch) of the stimuli words (\u2018SATA,\u2019 \u2018SAKI\u2019). The stimuli were synthesized from Estonian words (\u2018SATA,\u2019 \u2018SAKI\u2019) and follow the Estonian language three-way quantity system, which incorporates tonal features (falling pitch contour) together with temporal patterns. This made the meaning of the word dependent on the combination of both features and allows us to compare the relative contribution of duration and pitch contour in discrimination of language stimuli in the brain via MMN generation. The participants of the experiment were 12 Russian native speakers with little or no experience in Estonian and living in Estonia short-term, and 12 Estonian native speakers (age 18\u201327 years). We found that participants\u2019 perception of the linguistic stimuli differed not only according to the physical features but also according to their native language, confirming that the meaning of the word interferes with the early automatic processing of phonological features. The GAMM and ANOVA analysis of the reversed design results showed that the deviant with longer duration among shorter standards elicited a MMN response with greater amplitude than the short deviant among long standards, while changes in pitch contour (falling vs. level pitch) produced neither strong MMN nor asymmetry. Thus, we demonstrate the effect of language background on asymmetric perception of linguistic stimuli that aligns with those of previous studies (Jaramillo et al., 2000), and contributes to the growing body of knowledge supporting auditory perceptual asymmetry.\u00a0<br>\n<span>\u00a0 <\/span><br>\n<span><span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide:<\/strong><\/span> Kask, L., P\u00f5ldver, N., Lippus, P., &amp; Kreegipuu, K.

Binge eating refers to consuming an excessive amount of food within a short period of time that is accompanied by a feeling of loss of control over eating. In addititon to over- and binge eating, emotional eating could also be considered a dysregulated eating behaviour. Emotional eating refers to the tendency to eat in response to various negative emotions, usually with an intent to alleviate negative affect. Lately, the concept of positive emotional eating has also emerged, although its relation with eating disorder psyhopathology is unclear. As dysregulated eating behaviours are also seen in community samples and as they represent risk factors for developing an eating disorder, the aim of this doctoral dissertation was to explore the construct of emotional eating, while differentiating between eating in response to positive and negative emotions, and to further investigate their associations with eating pathology and emotion regulation difficulties. We found important similarities as well as differences between positive and negative emotional eating. Namely, eating in response to negative emotions was more closely related to binge eating, general eating pathology, and difficulties with regulating emotions. Positive emotional eating, however, was associated with overeating, which suggests that eating in response to positive emotions might not itself be pathological. However, individuals who endorsed primarily positive emotional eating were characterized by increased difficulties in regulating their impulses and emotions in general compared to individuals without emotional eating. These results indicate that difficulties in managing one\u2019s emotions \u2013 be it positive or negative \u2013 might be a risk factor for the development and maintenance of dysregulated eating. Interestingly, positive emotional eating appeared to be more pronounced in men, pointing towards important sex differences in emotional eating. In conclusion, we clarified the construct of emotional eating by further confirming that eating in response to negative emotions is an important risk factor for eating disorder psychopathology. We also clarified the role of positive emotions in eating behaviours by showing that its relationship with dysregulated eating is multifaceted and therefore in need of further research.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span><span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide: <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Sultson, H.

Ayahuasca is traditionally used in Amazonian indigenous rituals and as a sacrament in syncretic religions from Brazil. It is also used over the world in neoshamanic rituals. This interdisciplinary study approached ayahuasca from chemical, psychological and spiritual aspects, also considering sociocultural view. Chemical analyses of 102 brews showed that in indigenous and Santo Daime samples, the amounts of active substances were moderate and correlated with each other. However, in some European neoshamanic brews, the concentrations of psychedelic DMT were high, and traditional plants had been replaced by other plants or chemicals. The study used psychological tests and questionnaires (30 users + 30 controls), and interviews with 63 ayahuasca users. The users who participated in the psychological study were found to be mentally healthy and cognitively normal. As compared to the control group, their depression and anxiety were lower, and satisfaction with life and happiness about life were higher. The spiritual background of the participants was varied and often related to \u2018new spirituality\u2019. Ayahuasca rituals were often a part of their spirituality and a source of spiritual experiences. The experiences included e.g. perceptual changes, visionary journeys, healings in the body, contacts with spiritual beings, transformations, and mystical experiences. Some participants had developed an ongoing relationship with the plant as a conscious, sacred, wise and healing spiritual entity. The majority of the participants reported benefits of the practice, but a few described adverse outcomes. Ritual use of ayahuasca has a social dimension. Shared beliefs around the practice are largely rooted in new spirituality. Beliefs affect interpretation of the experience: e.g. suffering during the session is understood as a lesson or message from the sacred plant. Such interpretations help to make sense of the experience. However, some beliefs may restrict interpretations or enable the facilitators of the ceremony to deflect their responsibility. Ritual use of ayahuasca is a challenge to mainstream views about psychoactive substances and their users. The study contributes to the discussion about such practices in the society.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<span><span style=\"color:#428bca;\"><strong>T\u00e4isviide: <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Kaasik, H.
