Document Summary

Chapter 9- the interface between physical and mental health. Hippocrates developed a system of medicine based on the belief that substances called humors influenced both personality and health. Extended by galen, the 4 primary humors were blood, melancholy (black bile), choler (yellow bile) and phlegm. People w/ excess of bile were thought to be prone to depression and degenerative disease, whereas those w/ too much choler were angry and bitter. Blood led to a ruddy, sanguine personality, and phlegm was thought to cause apathy. Sigmund freud is credited w/ developing the first western scientific theory of mind, and he believed that eventually psychological phenomena would be traced back to neurophysiological events. The closely linked fields of health psychology and behavioural medicine are founded on the notion that the mind and the body are intimately connect in a bidirectional or even transactional manner.

1.Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding personality stability?

Because it has a biological basis in infant temperament, personality remains fairly stable throughout the life span.

Personality is mostly influenced by social roles and norms, so it is difficult to predict accurately.

People make many characteristic adaptations throughout life, which can cause substantial changes in personality over time.

Personality tends to be stable in adulthood but can be predicted only from about age 15 or older.

Research on the Rorschach inkblot test indicates that it:

reliably assesses id/ego/superego conflicts and specific psychological disorders related to these conflicts

does an excellent job of identifying specific psychological disorders

identifies many normal, healthy adults and children as psychologically disturbed

is the most reliable of the many projective tests in use

Research has shown that, in predicting the behavior of people we know, we:

are unable to perform above chance levels in our predictions

are less accurate in predicting their observable behavior than in predicting our own observable behavior

tend to predict that their behavior will be more negative than it actually is

are more accurate in predicting their observable behavior than in predicting our own observable behavior

ASSIGNMENT

Clapp et al. (2017) state in their article Gut microbiotaâseffect on mental health:

âThe bidirectional communication between the central nervoussystem and gut microbiota, referred to as the gut-brain-axis, hasbeen of significant interest in recent years. Increasing evidencehas associated gut microbiota to both gastrointestinal andextragastrointestinal diseases. Dysbiosis and inflammation of thegut have been linked to causing several mental illnesses includinganxiety and depression, which are prevalent in society today[â¦].

Healthy gut function has been linked to normal central nervoussystem (CNS) function. Hormones, neurotransmitters andimmunological factors released from the gut are known to sendsignals to the brain either directly or via autonomic neurons.â

Questions:

A Through which pathways might microbesof the gut microbiota interact with the gut brainaxis?

B. Howcan gut microbiota influence and contribute to the pathogenesis ofneuropsychiatric disorders?

C. Howcould scientists use the new knowledge of the bidirectionality ofthe GBA to help people suffering from anxiety anddepression?

The gut brain axis is a quicklyevolving very recent field within physiologicalpsychology/behavioral neuroscience for answering the abovequestions please use scientific articles from google scholar,medline, psycharticles, etc to get the information for youranswers.
