“…After the brain measurements, the participants performed the implicit association test (IAT) which aims to measure automatic associations or beliefs that the participant is not aware of or willing to report [36,37]. However, given that the IAT is controversial [38][39][40], we reported IAT results only in the appendixes as tentative support of the main results of this study and our conclusions (see Appendices B and D).…”

Processing of an Audiobook in the Human Brain Is Shaped by Cultural Family Background

Perception of the same narrative can vary between individuals depending on a listener’s previous experiences. We studied whether and how cultural family background may shape the processing of an audiobook in the human brain. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), 48 healthy volunteers from two different cultural family backgrounds listened to an audiobook depicting the intercultural social life of young adults with the respective cultural backgrounds. Shared cultural family background increased inter-subject correlation of hemodynamic activity in the left-hemispheric Heschl’s gyrus, insula, superior temporal gyrus, lingual gyrus and middle temporal gyrus, in the right-hemispheric lateral occipital and posterior cingulate cortices as well as in the bilateral middle temporal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus and precuneus. Thus, cultural family background is reflected in multiple areas of speech processing in the brain and may also modulate visual imagery. After neuroimaging, the participants listened to the narrative again and, after each passage, produced a list of words that had been on their minds when they heard the audiobook during neuroimaging. Cultural family background was reflected as semantic differences in these word lists as quantified by a word2vec-generated semantic model. Our findings may depict enhanced mutual understanding between persons who share similar cultural family backgrounds.

“…The issue, thus, is not that there is evidence against theories that postulate two kinds of attitudes, but rather that we do not yet know whether the measurands of direct and indirect measures differ; worse, that question has only been seriously addressed recently (Schimmack, 2021a(Schimmack, , 2021b. This is not the sign of a progressive research tradition, and it is entirely irrelevant for this concern that direct and indirect measures measure the same constructs for some theory or other.…”

“…Lastly, one of the many critiques of the AIDA-IAT method is that implicit measures lack predictive validity over explicit measures ( 41 , 42 ) and that the most promising use of an IAT is as a complementary method ( 31 ). In order to determine if the AIDA-IAT can be a valuable addition to the original AIDA, we analyzed if implicit identity diffusion is associated with borderline features above and beyond explicit measures of identity diffusion.…”

Explicit and Implicit Measures of Identity Diffusion in Adolescent Girls With Borderline Personality Disorder

2022

The present study is the first to examine both the implicit and explicit self-concept of identity diffusion in a sample of adolescent patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). A clinical sample of adolescent girls with diagnosed BPD (N = 30; M age = 15.9 years) and a sample of girls with a healthy personality development (N = 33; M age = 16.6 years) completed an implicit association test (IAT) that was adjusted to identity diffusion, the core of BPD. Common domains of child and adolescent psychopathology and core components of BPD were assessed using self-reports on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children—11 (BPFSC-11) and the Assessment of Identity Development in Adolescence (AIDA). BPD patients scored significantly higher on explicit measures of borderline pathology than girls with a healthy personality development. A crucial finding for this study was that girls with BPD had a significantly lower implicit preference for stability than their counterparts in the control group. Moreover, explicit measures of borderline personality pathology were significantly correlated with an implicit measure of identity diffusion, the core of BPD. However, when looking at the predictive ability of implicit and explicit measures, only explicit identity diffusion was significantly associated with borderline features. Our data suggests that adolescent girls with BPD differ from healthy individuals not only in their conscious representation but also in their implicit representation of the self with regard to BPD related characteristics, which further advances the need for the identification of at-risk adolescents.
