社会应激对群体隔离动物行为的影响

本文观察了群居和隔离两种生活条件下的大白鼠摄食、饮水、睡眠等行为差异。并在环境变更后着重研究了社会应激对群体隔离动物的行为影响。 结果表明:群居与隔离两种环境对动物摄食、饮水和体重无明显影响,但隔离动物睡眠时间短,变化程度大。社会应激对隔离动物的摄食、饮水和睡眠的影响比群居组严重,恢复也慢。并产生了强烈的攻击性行为。但随着应激后群居时间的延长,攻击性逐渐减弱和消失,睡眠时间增加。然而,隔离对动物造成的影响不是短暂的,而是长期的。这种影响将在特殊的应激条件下再次表现出来。     

群体隔离对大白鼠听源性癫痫的影响及其与脑内单胺类神经介质含量变化的关系

使群体隔离大白鼠接受急性和慢性铃声刺激,以观察隔离对大白鼠听源性癫痫的发生和适应过程的影响,同时观察其与脑内单胺类神经介质含量变化的关系。 结果表明急性声音应激时群体隔离动物癫痫发生率高。在铃声应激后隔离鼠端脑内NE含量显著减少。在连续6天的慢性声音应激时隔离大白鼠的适应过程稍慢。在6天中发生癫痫和狂跑的总次数隔离鼠也明显高于群居鼠。在第六天测定时发现隔离鼠脑干内NE含量明显低于群居鼠。群居鼠端脑和脑干内5-HT含量及隔离鼠端脑内5-HT含量明显增高。第七天测定时群居鼠端脑内NE含量明显增高,隔离鼠端脑与脑干内5-HIAA含量明显增高。上述结果表明隔离动物对铃声刺激的应付能力减弱,适应过程减慢。这种现象可能与隔离动物脑内NE和5-HT的生物合成受限有关。     

群体隔离对大白鼠行为的影响及其与脑内单胺类神经介质含量的关系

观察表明,群体隔离(10—12周)的大白鼠,在开阔地方的自由活动和杀小鼠行为方面没受到明显影响,但隔离鼠在电击后格斗行为明显地增加了。隔离鼠脑内单胺类种经介质的含量无明显改变。在电击格斗后群居组和隔离组脑内DA含量均明显降低。群居组鼠端脑内NE含量增高,脑干内5-HIAA含量降低,但隔离组无上述改变。隔离鼠在注利血平、电击后格斗行为明显减少。对上述现象进行了讨论。     

抑制儿茶酚胺的生物合成对群体隔离大白鼠学习和记忆的影响

本文观察了儿茶酚胺的生物合成抑制剂——α-甲基酪氨酸(α-MT)和二乙基二硫氨基甲酸酯钠(DDC)——对群体隔离大白鼠学习和记忆的影响。结果发现α-MT(250mg/公斤体重)对群居动物学习方位水迷津无明显影响,但对隔离动物的学习有明显影响。α-MT对群居和隔离动物的记忆的影响不明显,DDC(500mg/公斤体重)对群居和隔离动物的学习和记忆均无明显影响。注射α-MT后隔离动物大脑皮质内去甲肾上腺素的含量降低了38.1％,而群居动物仅降低了20.1％。结果提示隔离动物对方位水迷津学习能力的降低可能与脑内去甲肾上腺素和多巴胺的含量下降尤其是与大脑皮质内去甲肾上腺素含量的下降有关。     

早期应激对抑郁相关行为及神经内分泌反应的长期影响

临床研究发现,早期创伤性经历是导致成年抑郁症易感性增加的高风险因素之一。但早期应激通过何种途径对抑郁发病产生长期的影响,目前尚不清楚。本文综述了近年来有关的实验动物研究,从早期应激的动物模型建立、早期应激对成年动物抑郁相关行为及神经内分泌反应的长期影响等方面进行了系统论述和分析,进而提出了早期应激并不影响动物的本能行为,但早期应激影响与行为动机和应激应对等认知相关的行为的观点,进一步论证了早期应激是通过增加个体潜在的易患病素质对抑郁症发病产生影响     

压力反应、压力应对与睡眠质量关系述评

压力反应是个体应对应激源作用时所产生的非特异性表现, 而压力应对是个体社会生活中一种综合的压力适应过程。压力反应及其应对是压力与睡眠质量之间的重要变量。生理、认知、情绪和行为等方面的压力反应与睡眠质量有直接的交互作用, 而认知调节、情绪调节、应对方式、社会支持和人格倾向等压力应对因素则能够改变压力与睡眠之间相互作用的强度、持续时间以及最终结果。     

两种马的责任

正草原斑马和格利威斑马都生活在肯尼亚北部的半沙漠地区。情况不同的是,草原斑马随处可见,而格利威斑马处于濒临灭绝的边缘。而造成这两种境遇的原因,是两种斑马的习性。草原斑马喜欢群居,这种群居其实就是家庭性的群居。群体中只有一匹成年雄性,其余都是成年雌性和幼马。在这个     

影响应激障碍治疗方案确立的临床特征

急性应激障碍和创伤后应激障碍是近些年创伤后研究的重要内容.为了更加全面地评估遭遇创伤事件患者的情况,本文将从年龄、性别、种族和文化因素、生理与心理共病、过去受伤史、攻击行为、自伤和自杀行为7个方面阐述影响应激障碍的因素,以期在影响应激治疗因素层面为临床治疗提供依据.     

应激对风险和社会决策的影响

应激是有机体在受到真实或者潜在的威胁刺激时所表现出来的全身性非特异性反应, 伴随着紧张和焦虑的心理体验, 交感神经系统的兴奋, 糖皮质激素分泌的增多以及脑干−边缘系统−前额叶神经环路的改变。应激对个体在风险决策行为中的风险寻求和风险回避倾向, 社会决策行为中的利己和利他倾向都会产生重要影响。策略使用异常、习惯化和自动化反应增强、反馈学习过程以及奖惩敏感性的改变是应激影响决策行为的认知基础; 应激激素的分泌, 及杏仁核、前额叶等在决策过程发挥重要作用的脑区活动的改变则为应激作用于决策行为的神经基础。未来研究应重点关注：应激的个体差异与应激对决策影响效应多样性的关系; 综合多种指标对应激进行测量; 考察应激的时序效应; 揭示个体的最佳应激水平; 加强对慢性应激影响决策以及应激对决策影响效应可逆性的研究; 揭示应激影响决策的神经机制。     

石杉碱甲对应激诱导的吗啡行为敏感化表达的影响

为探讨石杉碱甲对应激诱导的吗啡行为敏感化表达的影响, 将40只动物随机分为5组: 盐水组、石杉碱甲组、吗啡组、应激组、石杉碱甲+应激组。实验发现, 急性/慢性空瓶应激都能够激发吗啡行为敏感化的表达, 而石杉碱甲能够显著抑制空瓶应激的这种激发作用。经过吗啡点燃后, 急性空瓶应激并不能显著影响动物的行为敏感化, 提示与成瘾性药物的再现相比, 空瓶应激对动物的影响力度较小。研究结果表明, 石杉碱甲能够抑制急性/慢性空瓶应激诱导的吗啡行为敏感化表达, 表明这类胆碱酯酶抑制剂有可能成为治疗药物依赖的潜在药物。     

TREATMENT OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN AUTISM THROUGH THE MODIFICATION OF PIVOTAL SOCIAL SKILLS

We examined acquisition of individual social communicative behaviors and generalization across other social behaviors in 2 children with autism. The results of a multiple baseline design showed that the children's treated social behaviors improved rapidly and that there were generalized changes in untreated social behaviors. These improvements were accompanied by increases in subjective ratings of the overall appropriateness of the children's social interactions. The results suggest the possibility of identifying pivotal response classes of social communicative behavior that may facilitate the understanding of social behavior in autism as well as improve peer interactions, social integration, and social development.     

MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Abstract. Scholars in religious studies, or "religionists," often mischaracterize the social-scientific study of religion. They assume that a social-scientific analysis of the origin, function, meaning, or truth of religion either opposes or disregards the believer's analysis, which religionists profess to present and defend. I do not argue that the social sciences analyze religion from the believer's point of view. I argue instead that a social scientific analysis is more akin and germane to the believer's point of view than religionists assume. I single out seven mischaracterizations of the social sciences typically held by religionists.     

THE SOCIAL STIGMA OF MENSTRUATION

In a study examining the effects of a social stigma on impression management concerns, 28 menstruating and 30 nonmenstruating women were interviewed by a male confederate who either was or was not aware of their menstrual condition. Relative to menstruating women who thought the interviewer was unaware of their menstrual condition, menstruating women who believed that the interviewer knew they were menstruating perceived that the interviewer liked them less, yet were less motivated to make an impression on him. Nonmenstruating women reported more self-presentational motivation and perceived that the interviewer viewed them more positively than he did the menstruating women. These results suggest that the interviewer's knowledge of their menstrual condition inhibited menstruating women's self-presentational motivation. Implications of this social stigma for interpersonal relationships are discussed.     

STOCHASTIC PROCESS OF SOCIAL CONTACTS

R ainio , K. Stochastic process of social contacts. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1961, 2, 113–128.—The author applies Bush & Mosteller's stochastic learning model (Two Operator Model) to a social interaction situation, assuming that the probabilities which determine the choice of the individual with whom the contact is made change according to this model. Referring to Homans, the author assumes that experienced agreement of opinion is a rewarding and experienced disagreement of opinion a punishing factor (the former increases and the latter decreases the probability of choosing the same individual as the contactee). To test these hypotheses the author has developed a six-person laboratory test, in which the contact experiences can be controlled and systematically varied. The empirical results strongly support the hypotheses.
