What evidence did Amodio et al. (2007) propose regarding authoritarianism/conservatism?

True or False? There is no evidence for heritability of conservatism from twins reared apart

False There is evidence for heritability of conservatism from twins reared apart

True or False? Conservatism is associated with decreased neural response to suppressing a habitual response in Go/No-Go task (and lower response accuracy)

Decreased neural response to suppressing a habitual response

Describe the Go / No-Go Task List 2 points

1. Clap your hands every time you see the letter M on the screen (Go trials) 2. Make no response when you see the letter W on the screen (No-Go trials)

What was the result of the Go / No-Go task? List 2 points

1. People who are higher in conservatism have smaller responses to those No-Go signals 2. People higher in conservatism made more errors on the task; they incorrectly responded to more of the No-Go signals compared to people with lower conservatism

People who are higher in conservatism have smaller responses to those No-Go signals What does this suggest?

This is in line with the hypothesis that people who are higher in conservatism are less sensitive to detecting those signals Simply = A non-habitual response is required rather than a habitual response (change in behaviour)

People higher in conservatism made more errors on the task; they incorrectly responded to more of the No-Go signals compared to people with lower conservatism What does this suggest?

Suggests differences in conservatism or authoritarianism are partly genetically determined, they have a biological substantiation in the brain

True or False? Differences in conservatism or authoritarianism are partly genetically determined, they have a biological substantiation in the brain

True

Differences in conservatism or authoritarianism are partly genetically determined, they have a biological substantiation in the brain What is this evidence of?

Evidence that conservatism is a stable personality trait rather than an attitude that can be changed according to situations

True or False? Conservatism is an attitude that can be changed according to situations rather than a stable personality trait

False Conservatism is a stable personality trait rather than an attitude that can be changed according to situations

A measure of cognitive inhibition

A measure of cognitive inhibition This is known as...?

Negative priming

What is usually reduced in schizophrenia?

Negative priming

Describe Steel, Hemsley & Jones's (1996) study providing for conceptual validity List 3 points

1. 36 Participants 2. 3 conditions: “Name the colour of the ink as fast as you can.” - Baseline Control Condition - Stroop Condition (distractor word is unrelated to the next ink colour) - Priming Condition (distractor word predicts the next ink colour) 3. These tasks require inhibition and selective attention

Describe the results of Steel, Hemsley & Jones's (1996) study providing for conceptual validity List 2 points

1. Priming Condition (distractor word predicts the next ink colour) had the longest response time 2. Size of Negative Priming Effect smaller in High Schizotypy than Low Schizotypy Simply = Reduced negative priming in high schizotypy scorers

How was negative priming effect calculated in Steel, Hemsley & Jones's (1996) study providing for conceptual validity?

Negative Priming effect = (Priming - Stroop)

There is reduced negative priming in a. high schizotypy scorers b. low schizotypy scorers c. neither scorers d. both scorers

a. high schizotypy scorers

What were the conclusions of Steel, Hemsley & Jones's (1996) study providing for conceptual validity List 2 points

1. In schizophrenia, cognitive inhibition is reduced 2. Those who are higher in schizotypy showed evidence of the kinds of reduced level of cognitive inhibition that are typical of people with schizophrenia

In schizophrenia, cognitive inhibition is reduced People with schizophrenia show a smaller negative priming effect Why?

Because their brains are less effective at inhibiting the colour name in the first place so that they have less of a stroop effect in condition 2

People with schizophrenia show a smaller negative priming effect because their brains are less effective at inhibiting the colour name in the first place so that they have less of a stroop effect in condition 2 What does this mean?

This means there’s a smaller difference between the stroop condition and the negative priming condition because it is less inhibition in the first place, less additional interference in negative priming condition

Those who are higher in schizotypy showed evidence of the kinds of reduced level of cognitive inhibition that are typical of people with schizophrenia What evidence does this provide?

Evidence for the validity of schizotypy as a concept
