Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven: Sorting piano excerpts based on perceived similarity using DiSTATIS
Publication date: April 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 57Author(s): Rachna Raman, Michael A. Kriegsman, Hervé Abdi, Barbara Tillmann, W. Jay DowlingAbstractOur initial aim in this study was to show that Western listeners can sort the music of 3 Western composers consistently on the basis of their compositional style. We found that they could, and proceeded to investigate what cues they might be using to accomplish that task, as well as whether their use of those cues was related to their level of musical training. In Experiment 1, we presented 21 excerpts from the keyboard music of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven...

Nonlinear change processes and the emergence of suicidal behavior: A conceptual model based on the fluid vulnerability theory of suicide
Publication date: April 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 57Author(s): Craig J. Bryan, Jonathan E. Butner, Alexis M. May, Kelsi F. Rugo, Julia A. Harris, D. Nicolas Oakey, David C. Rozek, AnnaBelle O. BryanAbstractAlthough ideation-to-action theories of suicide aim to explain the emergence of suicidal behaviors, researchers have primarily focused on the content of underlying mechanisms (i.e., who dies by suicide). Much less attention has focused on the temporal dynamics of suicide risk (i.e., when suicide occurs). The fluid vulnerability theory conceptualizes suicide as an inherently dynamic construct that follow...

Mental action and emotion – What happens in the mind when the stimulus changes but not the perceptual intention
This study gives an example of this, referring to perceptual reversals and exploring the phenomenal and processual qualities of mental action and emotion as they occur during the task of holding a particular percept while the stimulus changes. The results are in support of a four-phase dynamics of voluntary mental action and indicate a processual correlation of mental action and concomitant emotional experience. This is discussed in the context of common psychological constructs such as self-control and self-efficacy, other introspective research results, the bottom-up/top-down debate and in view of neurophysiological stud...

The past, present, and future of the biopsychosocial model: A review of The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Disease: New philosophical and scientific developments by Derek Bolton and Grant Gillett
Publication date: April 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 57Author(s): Leslie D. FrazierAbstractHealth psychology is a growing field generating exciting advances in theory, research, and applications that significantly improve the lives of individuals, shape the medical profession, and inform global public policy. For over 40 years, the field has been guided by the biopsychosocial model (Engel, 1977), an interdisciplinary and multifaceted model that posits the interrelations among the biological, psychological, and socio-environmental influences on health and disease. The theoretical implications and empirical re...

Elimination of bias in introspection: Methodological advances, refinements, and recommendations
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Radek Trnka, Vit SmelikAbstractBuilding on past constructive criticism, the present study provides further methodological development focused on the elimination of bias that may occur during first-person observation. First, various sources of errors that may accompany introspection are distinguished based on previous critical literature. Four main errors are classified, namely attentional, attributional, conceptual, and expressional error. Furthermore, methodological recommendations for the possible elimination of these errors have been dete...

The demanding world of emotion: A Gestalt approach to emotion experience
This article discusses explanations of WFEE from phenomenology and Gestalt psychology. Influenced by Lewin, I propose an “emotional demand model” of WFEE. The emotional demand character of objects (e.g. bear-to-be-run-from) is distinguished from their expressive character (e.g. angry bear). It is a mistake to think of emotion faces only as expressions—they are also demands. This distinction explains some anomalous findings in infancy and autism research. The model highlights another tool for recognizing our own emotions: noticing when we feel “demanded of” by the world, with implications for emotion regulation.Gr...

The concept of vitality. Review of the vitality-related research domain
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Olga LavrushevaAbstractExisting literature identified numerous positive consequences of vitality, including somatic health, mental well-being, and improved performance. Despite the immense scientifically proven beneficial importance of vitality, the concept has not been accurately conceptualized to ensure its uniform, comprehensive understanding and application. Through a detailed analysis of 93 qualified research studies on vitality, the present study provides a contemporary and concise scoping review of the vitality research domain, in par...

Fidgeting as self-evidencing: A predictive processing account of non-goal-directed action
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Kelsey Perrykkad, Jakob HohwyAbstractNon-goal-directed actions have been relatively neglected in cognitive science, but are ubiquitous and related to important cognitive functions. Fidgeting is seemingly one subtype of non-goal-directed action which is ripe for a functional account. What's the point of fidgeting? The predictive processing framework is a parsimonious account of brain function which says the brain aims to minimise the difference between expected and actual states of the world and itself, that is, minimise prediction error. Thi...

Quantifying definitional relations in psychological measurement
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Jean-Christophe Rohner, Henrik LevinssonAbstractQuantitative inferences about psychological attributes, such as extraversion, depression and empathy, involve measurement instruments as well as mathematical models that specify how indicators should be aggregated. The type of model that is appropriate for doing so is conditional on the type of relation that exists between an attribute, its facets and its indicators. The common assumption is that such relations are causal relations. Here, instead, we address definitional attribute-facet relatio...

Meter isn't everything: The case of a timeline-oriented Cuban polyrhythm
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Fernando BenadonAbstractMeter serves as a robust temporal referent for the creation and perception of musical rhythm. In music from Africa and the diaspora, a parallel referent is often present in the form of repetitive rhythmic patterns known as timelines. This paper examines how a well-known timeline (the standard pattern) serves as a grounding framework for quinto (lead conga drum) rhythms heard in different drumming performances of Afro-Cuban rumba columbia. Focusing on the layout of alignment points between the constituent elements of t...

Human empathy of automatic vs. reflective origin: Diverse attributes and regulative consequences
Publication date: January 2020Source: New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 56Author(s): Anna Szuster, Maria JarymowiczAbstractThe neurobiological model of the emotional brain, developed by Joseph LeDoux, seems to help introduce some orderly structure to the construct of empathy. The article refers to the description of two roads of impulses to the amygdala, which enable the arousing of primary and secondary emotions. Its purpose is to differentiate between (primarily) automatic vs. reflective origin of cognitive and emotional attributes of empathy and provide characterisation of prototypic attributes of both empathy facets.
