Introduction: Anhedonia, a core symptom of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), manifests as a lack or loss of motivation as reflected by decreased reward responsiveness, at both behavioral and neural (i.e., striatum) levels. Exposure to stressful life events is another important risk factor for MDD. However, the mechanisms linking reward-deficit and stress to MDD remain poorly understood. Here,...

Introduction: Reward and stress are important determinants of motivated behaviors. Striatal regions play a crucial role in both motivation and hedonic processes. So far, little is known on how cognitive effort interacts with stress to modulate reward processes. This study examines how cognitive effort (load) interacts with an unpredictable acute stressor (threat-of-shock) to modulate motivational...

In: Journal of marriage and family, 2009, vol. 71, p. 1205-1219

The present paper investigated whether highercohesion and satisfaction with family bondswere associated with the daily experience of emotional well-being in varying social circumstances. Using a sample of school-age adolescents (N = 95) and both their parents, data were gathered daily over 1 week using a diary approach in addition to self-report instruments. Multilevel analyses revealed higher...

Associations between measures of emotion and familial dynamics in normative families with adolescents

Vandeleur, Caroline L. ; Perrez, Meinrad ; Schoebi, Dominik

In: Swiss Journal of Psychology, 2007, vol. 66, no. 1, p. 5-16

The Family Life Scale (FLS), which includes the dimensions of Cohesion, Adaptability, Communication and Satisfaction, and two measures of emotion were applied to a German-speaking sample of adolescents and their parents in Switzerland. The main goal of the study was to assess the associations between the measures in order to increase our understanding of the dynamics involving emotional and...

La punition corporelle des enfants en Suisse et en Russie

Schoebi, Dominik ; Plancherel, Bernard ; Tchumakov, Mikhail ; Perrez, Meinrad

In: La revue internationale de l'éducation familiale, 2006, vol. 19, no. 1, p. 53-75

Cette recherche porte sur des mécanismes psychologiques conçus comme universels et favorisant l'utilisation de la punition corporelle envers les enfants au travers de deux cultures. Ces mécanismes comprennent des facteurs comme le stress situationnelle et chronique, des normes peu tolérantes envers le comportement de l'enfant ou une position de refus vis-à-vis des actes punitifs. Les...
