Neuroticism is associated with increased amygdala connectivity to hippocampal and prefrontal regions during emotional face processing Open
Neuroticism, a stable personality trait marked by heightened negative affect and emotional volatility, is a well-established transdiagnostic risk factor for internalizing psychopathology. While early research emphasized amygdala hyperreact…
Roles of administration route, expectation, and belief in placebos in a randomized controlled trial with open-label placebos Open
Recent reports challenge the view that placebos need to be given in deception. Numerous studies report remarkable effects when giving placebos honestly in an open way. However, the mechanisms of open-label placebos still remain to be clear…
The Relationship of Need for Cognition and Typical Intellectual Engagement with Intelligence and Executive Functions: A Multi-Level Meta-Analysis Open
In this preregistered multi-level meta-analysis, we aim to clarify the association of need for cognition (NFC) and typical intellectual engagement (TIE) with intelligence and executive functions. Multi-level models with robust variance est…
An Investigation of the Interaction of Trait Repetitive Negative Thinking and Neuroticism on Default Mode Network Activity During Negative Self-Referential Processing: a Cross-Sectional fMRI Study Open
Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and neuroticism are two of the most prominent transdiagnostic risk factors for internalizing disorders. Previous research highlighted a complex relationship between neuroticism and RNT. However, no study …
Frontal Alpha Asymmetry before and after mental effort: The moderating role of trait neuroticism Open
This study examined whether frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) - an electroencephalographic marker typically linked to approach and withdrawal motivation - adapts in response to mental effort and whether individual variations in neuroticism inf…
An investigation of the interaction of trait repetitive negative thinking and neuroticism on brain activity during negative self-referential processing: a cross-sectional fMRI study Open
Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and neuroticism are two of the most prominent transdiagnostic risk factors for internalizing disorders. Previous research highlighted a complex relationship between neuroticism and RNT. However, no study …
Yes, I Can: The Interplay of Need for Cognition and Task Confidence in Cognitive Task Performance Open
Need for Cognition (NFC) refers to the enjoyment of and the search for intellectual challenges. Although numerous studies suggest associations between NFC and cognitive performance, the processes and factors that may mediate the relationsh…

Transdiagnostic phenomena of psychopathology in the context of the RDoC: protocol of a multimodal cross-sectional study Open
In the past, affective and cognitive processes related to psychopathology have been examined within the boundaries of phenotype-based diagnostic labels, which has led to inconsistent findings regarding their underlying operating principles…
The switching process from buprenorphine sublingual tablets to the monthly buprenorphine subcutaneous depot injection in opioid dependent patients Open
The 2018 European Union (EU) approved weekly and monthly subcutaneous buprenorphine depot injection (BUP‐XR), for opioid substitution medication proved to offer some specific treatment benefits. The present study examines the process of sw…
Error- and inhibitory-related brain activity associated with political ideology: A multi-site replication study Open
The relationship between political ideology and brain activity has captured the fascination of scientists and the public alike. Using approaches from cognitive neuroscience to provide insights into deeply held and personal beliefs requires…

The role of personality in disclosing a non-heterosexual orientation at work Open
Based on a sample of 372 adult employees who reported being LGB+, this cross-sectional study investigated whether and how personality is related to the disclosure of a non-heterosexual orientation at the workplace, which has not been syste…
The Acceptance/Avoidance-Promoting Experiences Questionnaire (APEQ): A theory-based approach to psychedelic drugs’ effects on psychological flexibility Open
Background: Many benefits and some harms associated with psychedelic use could be attributable to these drugs’ acceptance/avoidance-promoting effects and corresponding changes in psychological flexibility. Underlying psychological mechanis…
Feasibility of a Home-Based Task-Switching Training in Middle-Aged Caregivers Open
The current study aimed at investigating feasibility of a self-administered task-switching training in a middle-aged working population. Eighty-one caregivers (41–62 years old) were instructed to train at home 8 times either within a 7- or…
The Impostor Phenomenon: Toward a Better Understanding of the Nomological Network and Gender Differences Open
The impostor phenomenon (IP) refers to the tendency to perceive oneself as intellectually incompetent and to attribute one’s own success to effort-related or external factors, such as fortunate circumstances. The present study ( N =209) ai…

Commercial Brain Training: Efficacy, Transfer Effects, and the Influence of Personality Traits: A Study Conducted on Healthy Young Adults Open
In the present study, we investigated the effects of a four-week working memory (WM) and attention training program using commercial brain training (Synaptikon GmbH, Berlin). Sixty young healthy adults were assigned to the experimental and…
Effects of Open-Label Placebos on State Anxiety and Glucocorticoid Stress Responses Open
Stress belongs to the most frequent negative feelings people are confronted with in daily life. Strategies against acute stress include, e.g., relaxation techniques or medications, but it is also known that placebos can successfully reduce…
Quality of Life in Opioid Replacement Therapy: A Naturalistic Cross-Sectional Comparison of Methadone/Levomethadone, Buprenorphine, and Diamorphine Patients Open
Background: Research on quality of life (QoL) of chronically ill patients provides an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of long-term treatments. Although it is established that opioid replacement therapy is an effective treatment for op…
