The normative and the personal life: individual differences in life scripts and life story events among USA and Danish undergraduates.

Berntsen, D; Hutson, Michael; Rubin, David C (Memory, 2009-01)

Life scripts are culturally shared expectations about the order and timing of life events in a prototypical life course. American and Danish undergraduates produced life story events and life scripts by listing the seven ...

Association of MDMA/ecstasy and other substance use with self-reported sexually transmitted diseases among college-aged adults: a national study.

Wu, L-T; Ringwalt, CL; Patkar, AA; Hubbard, RL; Blazer, DG (Public health, 2009-08-04)

MDMA/ecstasy use among college students has increased and reportedly leads to risky sexual behaviours. However, little is known about its association with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). To evaluate this public health ...

The variety of ecstasy/MDMA users: results from the National Epidemiologic Survey on alcohol and related conditions.

Wu, Li-Tzy; Parrott, Andy C; Ringwalt, Christopher L; Yang, Chongming; Blazer, Dan G (The American journal on addictions, 2009-11)

This study investigates the potential heterogeneity of ecstasy or MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) users. Data came from the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). ...

The high prevalence of substance use disorders among recent MDMA users compared with other drug users: Implications for intervention.

Wu, Li-Tzy; Parrott, Andy C; Ringwalt, Christopher L; Patkar, Ashwin A; Mannelli, Paolo; Blazer, Dan G (Addictive behaviors, 2009-08)

In light of the resurgence in MDMA use and its association with polysubstance use, we investigated the 12-month prevalence of substance use disorders (SUDs) among adult MDMA users to determine whether they are at risk of ...

I can see it both ways: first- and third-person visual perspectives at retrieval.

Rice, Heather J; Rubin, David C (Conscious Cogn, 2009-12)

The number of studies examining visual perspective during retrieval has recently grown. However, the way in which perspective has been conceptualized differs across studies. Some studies have suggested perspective is experienced ...

Genome-wide analyses of exonic copy number variants in a family-based study point to novel autism susceptibility genes.

Bucan, Maja; Abrahams, Brett S; Wang, Kai; Glessner, Joseph T; Herman, Edward I; Sonnenblick, Lisa I; Alvarez Retuerto, Ana I; ... (36 authors) (PLoS Genet, 2009-06)

In the present study, ratings of the memory of an important event from the previous week on the frequency of voluntary and involuntary retrieval, belief in its accuracy, visual imagery, auditory imagery, setting, emotional ...

Resolving response, decision, and strategic control: evidence for a functional topography in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.

Venkatraman, Vinod; Rosati, Alexandra G; Taren, Adrienne A; Huettel, Scott A (J Neurosci, 2009-10-21)

The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) plays a central role in aspects of cognitive control and decision making. Here, we provide evidence for an anterior-to-posterior topography within the DMPFC using tasks that evoke ...

A comparison of dimensional models of emotion: evidence from emotions, prototypical events, autobiographical memories, and words.

Rubin, David C; Talarico, Jennifer M (Memory, 2009-11)

The intensity and valence of 30 emotion terms, 30 events typical of those emotions, and 30 autobiographical memories cued by those emotions were each rated by different groups of 40 undergraduates. A vector model gave a ...
