“…This is problematic because studies have also shown that children and young people often misjudge risks and mislabel potentially abusive behaviours as appropriate, insignificant or as their own fault (Ungar, Tutty, McConnell, Barter, & Fairholm, 2009). Findings show that adults and institutions need to understand how children perceive safety to better assist them to assess and manage risks (Jacobs, Hashima, & Kenning, 1995).…”

“…Only women were tested because they are more likely to report significant physical and sexual abuse histories, and the incidence of PNES is threefold higher in women (2,15,16) as reflected in our all-female index group. All participants enrolled in the study completed a shortened version of the Jacobs Neglect, Abandonment, and Abuse Protocol (J-NAAP) (17) administered by a clinician to determine the presence and severity of abuse/neglect. It assesses traumatic or stressful life events such as loss or abandonment, serious neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse.…”

ObjectivePatients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) may present with convulsive events that are not accompanied by epileptiform brain activity. Video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring is the gold standard for diagnosis, yet not all patients experience convulsive episodes during video-EEG sessions. Hence, we aimed to construct a predictive model in order to detect PNES from serum hormone levels, detached from an evaluation of patients’ convulsive episodes.MethodsFifteen female patients with PNES and 60 healthy female controls participated in the study, providing blood samples for hormone analysis. A binomial logistic regression model and the leave-one-out cross-validation were employed.ResultsWe found that levels of neuropeptide Y and adrenocorticotropic hormone were the optimal combination of predictors, with over 90% accuracy (area under the curve=0.980).ConclusionsThe ability to diagnose PNES irrespective of convulsive events would represent an important step considering its feasibility and affordability in daily clinical practice.

“…Religious commitment levels were measured using the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10) (47). The participants also completed a demographic survey and additional psychological surveys to assess their general psychological health, including the Jacobs Neglect, Abandonment and Abuse protocol (J-NAAP) (48), the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) (49), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (50), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (51) and the Resilience Scale (RS) (52).…”

ObjectiveThe present study explores the relationship between neuroactive hormones and religious commitment. We hypothesised that religious commitment is mediated by neuropeptide Y and oxytocin. These neurohormones have a well-established role in general well-being, anxiety regulation, stress-resilience, social affiliation and spirituality.MethodsSixty healthy women (median age 21) participated in the study and completed the Religious Commitment Inventory and other psychometric surveys. Blood was sampled from each participant and serum levels of neuropeptide Y were measured using radioimmunoassay. Oxytocin, stress and sex hormones were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations were tested using non-parametric statistical methods.ResultsWe found a positive correlation between serum neuropeptide Y levels and religious commitment, but not between oxytocin and religious commitment.ConclusionsThe present study provides preliminary evidence that neuropeptide Y is a biological correlate of religious commitment.
