The differential effect of psychopathy on active and bystander trolling behaviors: the role of dark tetrad traits and lower agreeableness.

This study aimed to develop the Global Assessment of Active Trolling and Passive Bystanderism (GAATPB) scale and investigate the influence of personality traits on trolling behaviors. Focusing on the Dark Tetrad (DT) traits and agreeableness, the present study examined their associations and predictive utility on active trolling and passive bystanderism. Participants were recruited from social networking sites (SNSs), and eligibility criteria included active SNS usage and engagement in online interactions.

In-Vehicle Interaction Systems, Eye Movements, and Safety.

In-vehicle interactive systems are widely used in modern vehicles. While these systems serve various purposes, they are also potential distracters for drivers. In this study we investigated the effect of in-vehicle spatial distractions on driving errors and driver gaze behavior by developing an experimental paradigm named, "Direction Following in Distracted Driving - Spatial: Simultaneous and Sequential (D3-SSS).

Emergence of Frequency-Dependent Motor Variability Within Supra-Second Auditory Cueing.

Motor variability (MV) is an essential feature of the sensory motor system, and it plays an important role in sensory-motor learning. MV facilitates motor adaptation during auditory-motor synchronization (AMS). In AMS, individuals receive a series of similar auditory stimuli that come in a periodic manner at a fixed interval called an inter-stimulus interval (ISI).

Less effortful auditory-motor synchronization with low-frequency tones in isochronous sound sequence.

In music aided rehabilitation therapies like Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), it is important for a subject to engage with isochronous sound sequence for efficient auditory-motor synchronization (AMS). This engagement will depend upon listening effort (which is the amount of cognitive resources needed to comprehend and synchronize with the isochronous sound sequence). Less effort will lead to more engagement.
