Neural activity during health messaging predicts reductions in smoking above and beyond self-report.
OBJECTIVE The current study tested whether neural activity in response to messages designed to help smokers quit could predict smoking reduction, above and beyond self-report. DESIGN Using neural activity in an a priori region of interest (a subregion of medial prefrontal cortex [MPFC]), in response to ads designed to help smokers quit smoking, we prospectively predicted reductions in smoking...

متن کاملNeural response to pictorial health warning labels can predict smoking behavioral change
In order to improve our understanding of how pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) influence smoking behavior, we examined whether brain activity helps to explain smoking behavior above and beyond self-reported effectiveness of HWLs. We measured the neural response in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and the amygdala while adult smokers viewed HWLs. Two weeks later, participants' sel...
متن کاملFunctional brain imaging predicts public health campaign success.
Mass media can powerfully affect health decision-making. Pre-testing through focus groups or surveys is a standard, though inconsistent, predictor of effectiveness. Converging evidence demonstrates that activity within brain systems associated with self-related processing can predict individual behavior in response to health messages. Preliminary evidence also suggests that neural activity in s...
متن کاملPsychological Risk and Protective Factors Related to Fear of Covid-19 During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Iran
The current COVID-19 pandemic is associated with numerous psychological issues such as anxiety and distress as a result of individual, health-related, social, and economic, issues. This study aimed to assess the general population in Iran for negative impacts of the current pandemic on psychological well-being and to find possible protective and risk factors when facing such situations as the c...
