This research investigated the cognitive mechanisms that underlie impairments in human reasoning triggered by the emotional see-saw technique. It has previously been stated that such manipulation is effective as it presumably induces a mindless state and cognitive deficits in compliant individuals. Based on the dual-system architecture of reasoning (system 2) and affective decision-making (system 1), we challenged the previous theoretical account by indicating that the main source of compliance is impairment of the meta-reasoning system when rapid affective changes occur. To examine this hypothesis, we manipulated affective feelings (system 1 processing) by violating participants' expectations regarding reward and performance in a go/no-go task in which individuals were to inhibit their responses to earn money. Aside from the go/no-go performance, we measured rationality (meta-reasoning system 2) in decision-making by asking participants to comply with a nonsensical request. We found that participants who were exposed to meta-reasoning impairments due to the emotional see-saw phenomenon exhibited mindless behavior.

Objective: TO INTEGRATE: (1) the neuroanatomical model of affect regulation; (2) a functional model of affect regulation; and (3) the evolving picture of affect dysregulation as exemplified by bipolar disorder.
Methodology: A computerized search for articles on related topics was augmented by additional selected studies.
Results: Subdivision between the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is defined by distinct cytoarchitecture, corticocortical and subcortical connectivity, and function.
Watching & worrying: early pregnancy after loss experiences.

Purpose: To describe women's early pregnancy after loss experiences (up to 25 weeks gestation), to document the timing and frequency of their common discomforts and events, and to explore changes in these over time.
Study Design: Longitudinal, qualitative descriptive, and triangulated (data, methods, analyses).
Methods: Qualitative data were collected from 82 women pregnant after a past perinatal loss, who were followed through their 25th week gestation.

Evidence for the importance of the serotonin system in anxiety disorders has increased substantially in recent years. Although preclinical research has provided an important source of hypotheses, clinical work on the value of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in these conditions has been particularly persuasive. In this paper, a number of models of serotonin in the anxiety disorders are reviewed, and the clinical advantages of the SSRIs in anxiety disorders are emphasized.
