Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic and pervasive loneliness has been identified as an important factor in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACE) (e.g. abuse and neglect) and mental disorders. However, the mechanisms determining loneliness after ACE are still needed to be disentangled. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the differential effect of ACE on alterations in cognition and the link between ACE and loneliness with an emphasis on the effect of type and timing of ACE.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

With the rationale of the detrimental effects of loneliness on mental and physical health may be based on the interactions between genetic predispositions and social-environmental influences (e.g. ACE) via affecting neurobiological and cognitive processing, goals of this project are 1) characterization of loneliness to understand whether people suffer from mental/somatic disorders, feel lonelier and this effect is particularly strong in those with a history of ACE, 2) understanding the determinants of chronic loneliness by investigating certain personality dispositions such as rejection sensitivity and justice sensitivity, genetic predisposition for loneliness and social environments during childhood and adolescence and 3) inquiring into the social-cognitive correlates of these potential determinants in people's life today

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Trauma control group

Individuals with adverse childhood experiences (e.g.childhood abuse or neglect) will be included as the experimental group of participants. Individuals will fill out the designated questionnaires (e.g. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, Loneliness questionnaires), will participate in a multimodal emotion recognition experiment as well as a virtual reality (VR) task.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will include the implication of related questionnaires, followed by a lab experiment for social belonging with multiple modalities. Participants will be shown pictures of different faces and asked to judge their feelings towards them. Further, a VR task will include finding the way through a virtual maze with the help of two virtual characters.

Healthy control group

Individuals with no trauma history will be added as the healthy control group of participants. Individuals will fill out the designated questionnaires (e.g. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, Loneliness questionnaires), will participate in a multimodal emotion recognition experiment as well as a virtual reality (VR) task.

Clinical control group

Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) will be added as a clinical control group. Individuals will fill out the designated questionnaires (e.g. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, Loneliness questionnaires), will participate in a multimodal emotion recognition experiment as well as a virtual reality (VR) task.
