Around one‐fifth (20.3%) of all college students worldwide experience a psychological disorder within a given year, however, only 16% of these individuals receive treatment for their mental health issue (Auerbach et al., 2016). As approximately three‐quarters of lifetime mental illnesses are onset by the age of 24 (Kessler et al., 2005), it is paramount this age group…Continue Reading College Students’ Attitudes, Stigma, and Intentions Toward Seeking Online and Face-to-Face Counseling

Perception of dynamic facial expressions of emotion between dogs and humans
Facial expressions are a core component of the emotional response of social mammals. In contrast to Darwin’s original proposition, expressive facial cues of emotion appear to have evolved to be species-specific. Faces trigger an automatic perceptual process, and so, inter-specific emotion perception is potentially a challenge; since observers should not try to “read” heterospecific facial…Continue Reading Perception of dynamic facial expressions of emotion between dogs and humans
Valence-dependent Disruption in Processing of Facial Expressions of Emotion in Early Visual Cortex—A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study
Our visual inputs are often entangled with affective meanings in natural vision, implying the existence of extensive interaction between visual and emotional processing. However, little is known about the neural mechanism underlying such interaction. This exploratory transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study examined the possible involvement of the early visual cortex (EVC, Area V1/V2/V3) in perceiving…Continue Reading Valence-dependent Disruption in Processing of Facial Expressions of Emotion in Early Visual Cortex—A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study
