Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Offenders

AggressionRisk-Taking1 more

This study investigates the effect of upregulating prefrontal cortex activity on risk-taking, and antisocial and aggressive behavior in violent offenders. In the double-blind, randomized controlled trial, using a within-subject crossover design, each participant will undergo anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and sham stimulation. After each stimulation session, neural activity and behavioral responses to tasks assessing risk-taking and aggressive behavior will be recorded. The effect of tDCS on violent offenders will also be assessed in comparison to age and gender-matched healthy controls.

Antisocial BehaviorAggression

This study investigates the effect of upregulating prefrontal cortex activity on antisocial and aggressive behavior and risk factors for such behavior. In the double-blind, randomized controlled trial, participants will undergo anodal transcranial direct current stimulation bilaterally to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or a sham stimulation. During and after stimulation, they will complete survey and laboratory measures assessing antisocial and aggressive behavior and risk factors for antisocial and aggressive behavior. Heart rate and skin conductance will also be measured.

Antisocial Behavior on Healthcare Professionals in an Emergency Unit.

Rudeness/IncivilityAggression or Violence Against Healthcare Workers in an Ophthalmic Emergencies Unit.

At the hospital, the attacks against health professionals are becoming commonplace, making working conditions difficult. The ophthalmological emergencies are a perfect testing ground to evaluate the effectiveness of a series of original actions to prevent the occurrence of violence against healthcare workers. The main objective is to measure the impact of an integrated prevention of the occurrence of antisocial behavior or attacks against the healthcare workers. The prevention program combines five interventions (steps): 1) a computer sorting algorithm and specific screens for calling patients in waiting rooms, 2) a clear signage to direct patients between waiting rooms, treatment rooms and administrative et medical offices, 3) Posts information on the activity of emergency services displayed on screens, in the waiting rooms, 4) a mediator/go-between/conciliator, 5) and a dummy surveillance camera. This is an interrupted time series study. All patients admitted to the ophthalmological emergency unit of a university hospital located in Lyon, France, are included in the study, from June 2013 to Sept 2015

Positive Psychotheraphy and Antisocial Personality Disorder: Crime, Aggression, Anger

Antisocial Personality Disorder

Studies on Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), in which criminal behaviors, aggression and anger behaviors are frequently seen, are very rare. Developed by Nosrat Peseschkian, positive psychotherapy is an eclectic therapy approach born from the psychodynamic approach, existential-humanist approach, behavioral approach and intercultural therapy approach. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a humanistic, psychodynamic, resource-focused, conflict-solving, integrative and intercultural approach that has its own unique intervention methods as well as the features of other therapy theories. In this study, it was aimed to determine the primary and secondary abilities of individuals with criminal and non-criminal antisocial personality disorder within the scope of positive psychotherapy, to compare these abilities with respect to healthy individuals, and to examine the effects on crime, aggression behavior and anger levels.

Testing the Efficacy of the Ability School Engagement Partnership Program (ASEP)

School AttendanceWelfare Dependence1 more

This project is an up-scaled test of the Ability School Engagement Partnership (ASEP) Project. The ASEP is a partnership program that aims to increase school attendance and is grounded in the theory of Third-Party-Policing (TPP). In ASEP, school-based police officers partner with schools (i.e., the third-party) who have legal powers to control and prevent school absenteeism. The ASEP intervention includes an ASEP conference in which the legal requirements to attend school are explicitly communicated in a procedurally just way to young people missing school and their parents/guardians. Restorative Outcomes Australia (ROA) is a provide provider partner who will oversee the facilitation of the ASEP conferences. While the program is designed to re-engage these young people in school and/or facilitate transitions to work and reduce antisocial behavior (e.g., delinquency), this trial will also test the capacity of the program to improve collaboration between the schools and police and also monitor young participants' future life outcomes, such as future welfare dependence.

Age-17 Follow-up of Home Visiting Intervention

Antisocial BehaviorPsychopathology2 more

This study is a longitudinal follow-up of 670 primarily African-American women and their 17-year-old firstborn children enrolled since 1990 in a highly significant randomized controlled trial (RCT) of prenatal and infancy home visiting by nurses. Nurses in this program are charged with improving pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and maternal economic self-sufficiency. This follow-up examines whether earlier program effects on maternal and child functioning lead to less violent antisocial behavior, psychopathology, substance use and use-disorders, and risk for HIV; whether these effects are greater for those at both genetic and environmental risk; and whether program effects replicate those found with whites in an earlier trial.

The Effect of Repeated Prefrontal Cortex Stimulation on Antisocial and Aggressive Behavior

Antisocial BehaviorAggression

This study investigates the relationship between prefrontal cortex activity and antisocial and aggressive behavior, and risk factors for such behavior. In the double-blind, randomized controlled trial, participants will undergo three sessions of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or sham stimulation and complete survey and laboratory measures assessing antisocial behavior and risk factors. Heart rate and skin conductance will also be measured.
