The Social Motivation Theory of Autism
Coralie Chevallier,Gregor Kohls,Vanessa Troiani,Vanessa Troiani,Edward S. Brodkin,Robert T. Schultz,Robert T. Schultz +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ASD can be construed as an extreme case of diminished social motivation and, as such, provides a powerful model to understand humans' intrinsic drive to seek acceptance and avoid rejection.
Book
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, Bostrom's work picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain, and the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroscience of empathy: progress, pitfalls and promise
Jamil Zaki,Kevin N. Ochsner +1 more
TL;DR: This work takes stock of the notable progress made by early research in characterizing the neural systems supporting two empathic sub-processes: sharing others' internal states and explicitly considering those states and describes methodological and conceptual pitfalls into which this work has sometimes fallen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balance of brain oxytocin and vasopressin: implications for anxiety, depression, and social behaviors
Inga D. Neumann,Rainer Landgraf +1 more
TL;DR: Shifting the balance between the neuropeptide systems towards oxytocin, by positive social stimuli and/or psychopharmacotherapy, may help to improve emotional behaviors and reinstate mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loneliness: Clinical Import and Interventions
TL;DR: Assessments of loneliness are reviewed and there is increasing evidence for the potential efficacy of integrated interventions that combine (social) cognitive behavioral therapy with short-term adjunctive pharmacological treatments.

Neuropeptides and social behaviour: effects of oxytocin and vasopressin in humans
Markus Heinrichs,Gregor Domes +1 more
TL;DR: A model of the interactions of anxiety and stress, social approach behaviour, and the oxytocinergic system is presented, which integrates the novel approach of a psychobiological therapy in psychopathological states.

Defining the broader phenotype of autism: genetic, brain, and behavioral perspectives.
Geraldine Dawson,Sara Jane Webb,Gerard D. Schellenberg,Stephen R. Dager,Seth D. Friedman,Elizabeth Aylward,Todd L. Richards +6 more
TL;DR: Six candidate broader phenotype autism traits are proposed and it is argued that knowledge of the cognitive neuroscience of social and language behavior will provide a useful framework for defining such measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin Selectively Improves Empathic Accuracy
Jennifer A. Bartz,Jamil Zaki,Niall Bolger,Eric Hollander,Natasha N. Ludwig,Alexander Kolevzon,Kevin N. Ochsner +6 more
TL;DR: Observations imply that rather than working universally, oxytocin may selectively facilitate social cognition given certain constraints, which would be consistent with broader interactionist views emphasizing that individual differences in competencies interact with situational variables to determine behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin Makes a Face in Memory Familiar
TL;DR: It is shown that, in humans, the evolutionarily highly conserved neuropeptide oxytocin, after intranasal administration, specifically improves recognition memory for faces, but not for nonsocial stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin and the Development of Parenting in Humans
TL;DR: Results are the first to describe plasma OT levels in new fathers and mothers across the transition to parenthood in relation to maternal and paternal typical parenting behaviors and may provide a normative basis for the study of parenting under conditions of high risk.
