Adherence to Mammography and Pap Screening Guidelines Among Medically Underserved Women: the Role of Family Structures and Network-Level Behaviors.

Poor adherence to screening recommendations is an important contributing factor to disparities in breast and cervical cancer outcomes among women in the USA. Screening behaviors are multifactorial, but there has been limited focus on how family network beliefs and behaviors influence individual's likelihood to complete screening. This research aims to fill this gap by evaluating the role of family network composition and screening behaviors on women's likelihood to adhere to mammogram and pap screening recommendations. We used an ego network approach to analyze data from 137 families and their…

The envy-contempt spiral: affective self-regulation in grandiose narcissism.

In classic psychoanalytic theory, narcissism and envy have been theorized to be inseparably interwoven. Nevertheless, empirical findings hav … ive, combined with a stable tendency to experience envy in response to upward comparisons that pose ego or status threats. To regulate envy, we propose that contempt is automatically activated, leading to devaluation through indifference, which in turn fosters social conflict. We further apply these dynamics to explain the change of relationship traje …

The clinical pharmacology and potential therapeutic applications of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT).

5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) is a naturally occurring tryptamine that primarily acts as an agonist at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, whereby affinity for the 5-HT1A subtype is highest. Subjective effects following 5-MeO-DMT administration include distortions in auditory and time perception, amplification of emotional states, and feelings of ego dissolution that usually are short-lasting, depending on the route of administration. Individual dose escalation of 5-MeO-DMT reliably induces a "peak" experience, a state thought to be a core predictor of the therapeutic efficacy of p…

How not to lose the top job.

If you're on the way to becoming CEO, take care. Many anointed successors find their path to the corner office unexpectedly blocked. The obstacle is usually a mismanaged relationship with any of six kinds of stakeholders: the current chief executive, the successor's peers, his or her direct reports, customers, analysts and shareholders, and the board of directors. Succession isn't an entirely rational process, explains veteran executive coach Goldsmith. Personal issues, egos, and emotions influence succession decisions just as much as business logic. Look at what happened in 1978 to Lee Iacocc…

The case for a psychological perspective on late-onset psychosis.

OBJECTIVE: A conceptual framework is proposed for studying late-onset psychotic disorders. This incorporates developmental and psychological … tal studies of late life that have used Erikson's concept of a final lifestage crisis of achieving 'ego-integrity', suggest that personality style may be influential in determining the negotiation of this last maturational task. Failure to do so results in 'despair', fragmentation of self-image and paranoid fears. To date, there has been little invest …

ADHD as a disorder of operational capacity: a buffered-state framework for sustained engagement instability.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is commonly conceptualized as a disorder of executive dysfunction or impaired motivation. In clinical practice, however, many individuals with ADHD describe a different core difficulty: they can initiate tasks appropriately, understand goals, and exert effort, yet struggle to remain engaged as time-on-task and internal strain accumulate. These failures are often abrupt, ego-dystonic, and strongly context-dependent, posing challenges for models based solely on static deficits or gradual depletion. Building on this phenomenology, we propose a const…
