- Why psychedelic trips intensify with eyes closed. Participants who kept their eyes closed tended to experience “stronger” trips, as evidenced by self-reported data and increased correlations with brain entropy, which refers to the heightened complexity and randomness in brain activity. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.3c00289 21 comments science
- The Dark Triad and Bullying in Adolescence (3 waves; N=514): "at the between-person level, random intercepts for Machiavellianism and psychopathy correlated positively with bullying. At the within-person level, moment-to-moment stability was found for narcissism and Machiavellianism." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S009265662100115X 3 comments science
