Scores.21 This was not observed. In fact, the absence of reaction time differences has been previously observed in a study looking at schizotypy and the N400 potential.22 Thus, the participants who accepted more extraordinary roles did not do it because they were less cognizant of their inappropriateness. Their strategy was similar to that of other participants: all subjects were quicker at accepting ordinary or favorable roles than they were at accepting extraordinary or unfavorable roles (Figure 3). Future studies should ask the participants to rate the strength of their will to accept each role as this rating might permit to explain more disorganization and schizotypy variance than the acceptance percentages and the reaction times collected here. These studies should also openly ask participants which roles, even extraordinary ones, they would have likely considered. These roles would enrich the list and their strength ratings may further increase the individual fit. Furthermore, the paradigm could be tried in other patient populations suffering from mental disorders that may include disorganization and other psychotic features, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, postpartum psychosis, and schizoaffective disorder. The drive to perform extraordinary roles could exist in any of them. The drive to perform unfavorable roles should also be studied in disorders including a lack of empathy, such as antisocial diagnosis. The general follow-up of patients might be improved by taking their drives into account in the psychotherapy process. Chaetocin price MATERIALS AND METHODS ParticipantsA set of 209 healthy volunteers was recruited through online advertisements, posted on two sites for the general population (Craigslist and Kijiji) and one site for university students: McGill classifieds. This set included two samples that underwent similar versions of the experiment (see the procedure section). The first sample encompassed 159 participants (97 women) who were between 18 and 30 years of age (M = 22.80, s.d. = 3.19) and had a number of years of education comprised between 10 and 21 (M = 14.56, s.d. = 1.89). Eight of its individuals did not disclose their education level. The other sample involved 44 individuals (25 women) between the ages of 18 and 30 (M = 22.07, s.d. = 2.77) with an education between 12 and 18 years (M = 14.79, s.d. = 1.21). All the participants were native English speakers or had acquired a minimum of 10 years of English education. They reported no previous history of neurological conditions, intellectual deficits, alcohol or drug abuse, and denied taking medication related to a psychiatric disorder during the two previous years. There were no significant demographic, clinical, and behavioral differences between the two samples. The participants were informed about the purpose of the study and signed a consent form approved by the LT-253MedChemExpress LOR-253 Research Ethics Board of the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. They were debriefed following the experiment and given monetary compensation for their participation. Six subjects were excluded because they responded to less than 50 of the social roles or because they responded in more than 2,500 ms, which suggests that they were not using the same cognitive strategy as the other participants. Moreover, their acceptance percentages were more than two standard deviations above the mean, making them outliers.QuestionnairesAll the participants filled out a demographics form and the SPQ.
