  • PSYC 210:

    How are traits (T&P) and states related, 2?

    AJ Shackman 19 February 2015

  • Todays Conceptual Roadmap

  • Todays Conceptual Roadmap Can we discern temperament & personality when rewards and punishments are absent (at rest)?

    Are trait-like dierences in T&P embodied in the on-going, spontaneous acCvity of the brain?

    Is the brain ever really at rest?

  • Todays Conceptual Roadmap Can we discern temperament & personality when rewards and punishments are absent (at rest)?

    Is the brain ever really at rest?

    Are trait-like dierences in T&P embodied in the on-going, spontaneous acCvity

    of the brain?

  • Todays Conceptual Roadmap Can we discern temperament & personality when rewards and punishments are absent (at rest)?

    Is the brain ever really at rest?

    Or, are trait-like dierences in T&P embodied in the on-going, spontaneous

    acCvity of the resCng brain?

  • Can we discern T&P when rewards and punishments are absent?

  • Watson & Clark Psychol Bull 1984

    Yes?

  • Watson & Clark Psychol Bull 1984

    Yes?

  • Behavioral evidence

  • What are some key limita@ons of this body of evidence?

    A. CompleCng back-to-back measures of emoConal states (How do you feel now) and emoConal traits (How do you feel in general); carry-over eects; not really independent, just an arCfact of [jargon alert!] shared measurement variance

    B. There are no limitaCons, youre trying to trick us, Shackman

  • Self-Report (and Clinician RaCngs) The link between traits and baseline

    states is enCrely dependent on subjecCve raCngs of emoConal states

    But what if this simply reects

    response biases, trait-like dierences in the way that people think about, rate, appraise, or label their moods and emoCons, rather than true dierences in emoConal states?

    What if high-N/NE individuals are simply more disclosing of distress, more self-criCcal, more dissaCsed, and more focused on the negaCve?

  • A Brief Aside on NeurogeneCcs Because gene5cs was not the mo5va5on for assigning the paper, I do not expect you to remember the details on the next few slides But this material will foreshadow later lectures on the gene5cs of T&P

  • - Threat-evoked amygdala acCvity has been linked to variaCon in the serotonin-transporter linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) on the SLC6A4 gene

    - S allele is bad: Individuals with the less transcripConally-ecient short allele (fewer transporter proteins available to clear serotonin from the synapse) show heightened threat-related amygdala reacCvity relaCve to individuals with the long allele

    - Gene Amygdala: Meta-analyses suggest that the 5-HTTLPR genotype accounts for 2-5 of the variance in amygdala reacCvity

    - Gene Amygdala MDD: Evidence that these geneCcally conferred dierences in amygdala reacCvity mediate some of the associaCon between the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and depression

  • Phasic Model The standard (or phasic acCvaCon) model represents the view that presence of the short variant is associated with increased amygdala reacCvity to negaCve emoConal sCmuli. Tonic AcCvaCon Model We have proposed an alternaCve (or tonic acCvaCon) model, which posits that presence of the short variantenhances amygdala acCvaCon at rest.

  • Students How does Canli go about tes@ng this hypothesis? What tools does he employ?

  • Hypothesis Testing: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  • How Does MRI Work?

  • Phasic Model The standard (or phasic acCvaCon) model represents the view that presence of the short variant is associated with increased amygdala reacCvity to negaCve emoConal sCmuli. Tonic AcCvaCon Model Short allele = enhanced amygdala ac@va@on at rest.

    The Goal: Use fMRI to Test the Tonic Model

  • Assessing Tonic Ac@vity Requires a Special Kind of fMRI (ASL)

  • Phasic: ConvenConal fMRI assesses relaCve dierences in acCvity (e.g., Neg vs. Neu), measured in arbitrary units ASL can measure group dierences at rest in the scanner (or very slow changes that EPI cant see) Because ASL MRI provides absolute quanCcaCon of CBF [that is, in real physical units like PET]it can also be used to measure resCng brain funcCon independent of any specic sensorimotor or cogniCve task [unlike convenConal EPI fMRI]. Indeed, it is thought that the vast majority of brain metabolism does not vary with exogenous sCmuli [tasks], but rather reects state or trait funcCons, which can be measured with ASL MRI.

    Important Point Although the monkey is anesthe5zed in the PET scanner, the signal that is measured reects what the brain was doing during the preceding behavioral challenge, when the monkey was freely behaving in the test cage

  • Using these procedures, we can assess Phasic vs. Tonic Models of T&P

  • Key Take Home Points

  • 1. Young rhesus macaques are a useful nonhuman animal model of childhood anxiety and behavioral inhibiCon (BI)

    2. Individual dierences in AT are predicted by amygdala metabolism in stressful (alone/novelty, human intruder threat) as well as secure contexts (home alone and home with cage-mate) [Canli; Abercrombie; Fox]

    3. Individuals who are more anxious show chronically elevated amygdala acCvity * its not just in response to threat or novelty * therefore, the Trait x Context = State model is true but incomplete

    4. DisposiConal anxiety is discernable in the spontaneous pauern of co- acCvaCon (funcConal connecCvity) even under anesthesia

    5. Not just amygdala! e.g., PAG, BNST 6. T&P is embodied in the spontaneous, on-going acCvity of the brain, which

    may help to explain some of the other features of T&P eg distress in the absence of threat

  • CriCcal Thinking QuesCons

  • CriCcal Thinking QuesCons 1.Where do dierences in res5ng or baseline

    ac5vity come from? - Molecular processes? Subtle psychological processes (interac5ons between traits and trait relevant cues)? Something else?

  • CriCcal Thinking QuesCons 2. Today we talked about some of the limita5ons of res5ng measures of brain ac5vity. What do you think? What is another approach to tes5ng the hypothesis that traits are always on?

  • Behavior is normally guided by both conscious and pre-conscious

    Example #1: AutomaCc aKtudes and marriage

  • For decades, social psychological theories have posited that the automaCc processes captured by implicit measures have implicaCons for social outcomes. Yet few studies have demonstrated any long-term implicaCons of automaCc processes, and some scholars have begun to quesCon the relevance and even the validity of these theories. 135 newlywed couplescompleted an Explicit measure of their conscious autudes toward their relaConship and an Implicit measure of their automaCc autudes toward their partner. They then reported their marital saCsfacCon every 6 months for the next 4 years.

Further, spouses automaCc autudes, not their conscious ones, predicted changes in their marital saCsfacCon spouses with more posiCve automaCc autudes were less likely to experience declines in marital saCsfacCon over Cme.
