Personality modulation of (un)conscious processing: Novelty seeking and performance following supraliminal and subliminal reward cues

This study provides evidence that personality traits associated with responsiveness to conscious reward cues also influence responsiveness to unconscious reward cues. Participants with low and high levels of Novelty Seeking (NS) performed updating tasks in which they could either gain 1 euro or 5 cents. Gains were presented either supraliminally or subliminally at the beginning of each trial. Results showed that low NS participants performed better in the high-reward than in the low-reward condition, whereas high NS participants’ performance did not differ between reward conditions. Interestingly, we found that low NS participants performed significantly better when rewards were presented unconsciously, whereas high NS participants’ performance did not differ whether reward cues were presented subliminally or supraliminally. Our findings highlight the necessity to take personality into account in unconscious cognition research. They also suggest that whether implicit and explicit motives have similar or complementary influences might be determined by individual differences. [less ▲]

Personality profile and drug of choice; a multivariate analysis using Cloninger's TCI on heroin addicts, alcoholics, and a random population group.

As personality may predispose, precipitate or perpetuate substance abuse and/or dependence, and as it is considered to remain stable across the years in a given subject, potential links with the drug of choice may help screen future patients before drug consumption. The present study compared three groups: 42 patients with heroin dependence (mean age: 31.2; standard deviation (SD): 5.5; 10 females), 37 patients with alcohol dependence (mean age 44.2; SD: 9.1; 9 females) and 83 subjects from a random population sample (mean age: 38.8; SD: 6.9; 20 females). Personality was measured by Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Pillai's MANCOVA with age as a covariate and gender as a cofactor was highly significant. Univariate ANOVA analyses using TCI dimensions as dependent variable showed most variables to vary in parallel for the two patient groups in comparison with controls. Post-hoc tests showed heroin patients to score higher in Novelty-Seeking and Self-Directedness than alcohol patients. Sub-dimensions Exploratory Excitability, Fear of the Uncertain, Responsibility, Congruent Second Nature and Transpersonal Identification were also significantly different in the two patient samples. Logistic regression showed Exploratory Excitability to segregate up to 76% of heroin patients from alcohol patients. In conclusion, personality profiles were linked to some preferential choice of drug and personality screening might be tested in preventive strategies. [less ▲]

Le personnage au carrefour du médiatique et du social: Une analyse des débuts de « l’affaire Calice » à la RTBF

Que font les médias au social ? Comment le récit de l’information peut-il faire sens ? Comment l’information télévisuelle dispose-t-elle de son public ? Autant de questions qui interrogent les mécanismes de construction sociale du sens, au carrefour du récit médiatique et de sa "réception". Espérant contribuer de la sorte à l’appréhension de ces mécanismes, cet article souligne, à travers une étude de cas, l’intérêt pour l’analyse des médias de la notion de personnage narratif. Il invite à voir dans ce personnage média-informé l’une des clés fondamentales qui préside à la détermination des possibles de la réception télévisuelle – et a fortiori de l’engagement. Analysant le système des personnages de « l’affaire Calice » tels que mis en scène dans les JT de la RTBF, l’étude examine ainsi la manière dont les positions spectatorielles induites par le récit des débuts de l’affaire tendent à déterminer certaines dispositions du public-acteur social.

The borderline personality disorder is a common psychiatric entity, which is characterized by a varied symptomatology and a significant comorbidity. It seems that its etiologic is heterogeneous, comprising psychosocial factors as much as biological and genetic. So the best approach of the borderline personality disorder would be a multidisciplinary bio-psycho-social one. Through a clinical case, we illustrate this disorder and its treatment in outpatient clinic. [less ▲]
