New Framework

In recent years, the simulation of personal car driver behavior has attracted increasing attention in recent research works. Such works are based on models and systems derived from social and psychological studies. The complexity of the simulation of such systems is due to the need for modeling driver behavior and the integration of psychological and physiological factors that can affect driver performance. Although there is only a limited number of models that have been proposed to simulate driver behavior, most of them suffer from limitations pertaining to the integration of some factors, an inadequacy that will be discussed in this paper. This investigation work focuses on the development of a new model for driver behavior simulation based on recent physiological and psychological theories. The model aims to reproduce the driver behavior with respect to some psychological factors. An experimental framework is also presented to build the simulation model. This article concludes by describing some examples of use or application of the suggested model.

Psychology Of Art

This paper reconstructs the “Arnheim’s puzzle” over the psychology of art. It is argued that the long-established psychological theories of art do not account properly for the observable variability of art, which provide the phenomena of interest whose psychological factors need to be discovered. The general purpose principles of such theories, the ensuing selective sample of art phenomena, and assumption of conventional properties of aesthetic experience make the predictions and the findings of the theories unrepresentative of art. From the discussion of examples drawn from contemporary visual arts and the presentation of the debate on the emergence of the cognitive capacities of art in paleoanthropology, a construct is presented on the specificity of the cognitive capacities of art and its anchoring to perception, which solves the puzzle and has implications for research and teaching psychology of art.

This pilot study tackles the overarching need for driver-state detection through real-world measurements of driver behavior and physiology in at-risk drivers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). 35 drivers (19 DM, 14 comparison) participated. Real-time glucose levels were measured over four weeks with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) wearable sensors. Contemporaneous real-world driving performance and behavior were measured with in-vehicle video and electronic sensor instrumentation packages. Results showed clear links between at-risk glucose levels (particularly hypoglycemia) and changes in driver performance and behavior. DM participants often drove during at-risk glucose levels (low and high) and showed cognitive impairments in key domains for driving, which are likely linked to frequent hypoglycemia. The finding of increased driving risk in DM participants was mirrored in state records of crashes and traffic citations. Combining sensor data and phenotypes of driver behavior can inform patients, caregivers, safety interventions, policy, and design of supportive in-vehicle technology that is responsive to driver state.

Burning Mouth

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a relatively common chronic disease of unclear etiopathogenesis. It is defined as a distinctive nosological entity that includes all forms of burning sensation in the mouth, including stinging sensation or pain, in association with an oral mucosa that appears clinically normal, in the absence of local or systemic diseases. It was hypothesized that psychological factors could influence its appearance, but also physiological factors, with some authors suggesting a neuropathic etiology. Regarding the treatment of BMS, benefits were found in individual or group psychotherapy, as well as in psychopharmacological interventions, however its current therapeutic approach is not completely satisfactory. In this paper we describe two cases of BMS and discuss the possible etiopathogenesis and current therapeutic approaches.

ObjectivesA comprehensive overview of the evidence for factors derived from leading psychological theories of the onset of major depressive disorder (MDD) that underpin psychological interventions is scarce . We aimed to systematically investigate the prospective evidence for factors derived from the behavioural, cognitive, diathesis–stress, psychodynamic and personality-based theories for the first onset of MDD.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsDatabases PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Embase and published articles were systematically searched from inception up to August 2019. Prospective, longitudinal studies that investigated theory-derived factors before the first onset of MDD, established by a clinical interview, were included. Screening, selection and data extraction of articles were conducted by two screeners. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria were used to estimate level of confidence and risk of bias. Meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects models and mixed-method subgroup analyses.Primary and secondary outcome measuresEffect size of a factor predicting the onset of MDD (OR, risk ratio or HR).ResultsFrom 42 133 original records published to August 2019, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were only available for the cognitive (n=6585) and personality-based (n=14 394) theories. Factors derived from cognitive theories and personality-based theories were related to increased odds of MDD onset (pooled OR=2.12, 95% CI: 1.12 to 4.00; pooled OR=2.43, 95% CI: 1.41 to 4.19). Publication bias and considerable heterogeneity were observed.ConclusionThere is some evidence that factors derived from cognitive and personality-based theories indeed predict the onset of MDD (ie, dysfunctional attitudes and negative emotionality). There were no studies that prospectively studied factors derived from psychodynamic theories and not enough studies to examine the robust evidence for behavioural and diathesis–stress theories. Overall, the prospective evidence for psychological factors of MDD is limited, and more research on the leading psychological theories is needed.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017073975.

Retirees, pension funds, and the insurance industry have all been negatively affected by the wrongful estimation of longevity. The inaccuracies in current life expectancy (LE) reports primarily result from misinterpretations of the influence of resilience factors on longevity. This study examines different and more accurate measurement metrics to minimize the risks related to biased LE calculations. By using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, this research develops a new conceptual model: a two-factor-LE-analysis model with a telomere test as a medical basis (physiological factors) and a big data approach to filter the psychological factors to longevity. The authors suggest that the new model, together with the insights of the existing LE-projection methodologies, has considerable potential to improve LE predictions.
