Putting self at stake by telling a story: Storyteller’s narcissistic traits modulate physiological emotional reactions to recipient’s disengagement

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Emmi Koskinen , Pentti Henttonen, Ville Harjunen,Elizabeth Krusemark, Matias Piispanen, Liisa Voutilainen, Mariel Wuolio, Anssi Peräkylä Published: August 27, 2024 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302703 Abstract Telling a story to a disengaged recipient induces stress and threatens positive self-image. In this study, we investigated whether storytellers with overly positive and fragile self-images (e.g., individuals with grandiose and vulnerable narcissism) would show heightened behavioral, emotional, and psychophysiological reactivity to recipient disengagement.Building on Bavelas, Coates, and Johnson [1] we conducted a…

Affective Instability in Daily Life Is Predicted by Resting Heart Rate Variability

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Peter Koval , Barbara Ogrinz , Peter Kuppens, Omer Van den Bergh, Francis Tuerlinckx, Stefan Sütterlin Published: November 29, 2013 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0081536 Abstract Previous research has shown that being affectively unstable is an indicator of several forms of psychological maladjustment. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying affective instability. Our research aims to examine the possibility that being prone to extreme fluctuations in one’s feelings is related to maladaptive emotion regulation. We investigated this hypothesis…

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Inti A. Brazil , Robbert Jan Verkes, Bart H. J. Brouns, Jan K. Buitelaar, Berend H. Bulten, Ellen R. A. de Bruijn Published: November 16, 2012 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0050339 Abstract Recent studies have shown that while psychopathy and non-psychopathic antisociality overlap, they differ in the extent to which cognitive impairments are present. Specifically, psychopathy has been related to abnormal allocation of attention, a function that is traditionally believed to be indexed by event-related potentials (ERPs) of the…

Food cue-induced craving in individuals with bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder

Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Adrian Meule , Carolyn Küppers, Louisa Harms, Hans-Christoph Friederich, Ulrike Schmidt, Jens Blechert, Timo Brockmeyer Published: September 13, 2018 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0204151 Abstract Individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN) or binge-eating disorder (BED) experience more frequent and intense food cravings than individuals without binge eating.

Garza-Villarreal Published: July 31, 2023 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289101 Abstract Modeling psychopathology as a complex dynamic system represents Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as a constellation of symptoms (e.g., nodes) that feedback and self-sustain each other shaping a network structure. Through in silico interventions, we simulated the evolution of the BPD system by manipulating: 1) the connectivity strength between nodes (i.e., vulnerability), 2) the external disturbances (i.e., stress) and 3)…
