Reduced Self-Control after 3 Months of Imprisonment; A Pilot Study

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00069/full

Materials and Methods: Participants were 37 male inmates in a remand prison in Amsterdam, Netherlands, who completed six tests of a computerized neuropsychological test battery (the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery) in the first week of arrival. Participants were retested after 3 months of imprisonment. Change in performance was tested using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test.

Results: After 3 months of imprisonment, risk taking significantly increased (measured as an increase in the proportion of available points used for betting) and attention significantly deteriorated (measured as increased variability in reaction times on a sustained attention task), with large to medium effect sizes. In contrast, planning significantly improved (measured with a task analog to the Tower of London) with a medium effect size.

Discussion: Our study suggests that 3 months of imprisonment in an impoverished environment may lead to reduced self-control, measured as increased risk taking and reduced attentional performance. This is a significant and societally relevant finding, as released prisoners may be less capable of living a lawful life than they were prior to their imprisonment, and may be more prone to impulsive risk-taking behavior. In other words, the impoverished environment may contribute to an enhanced risk of reoffending.

Sounds like an existential crisis. Something caused him to question reality. That can be dangerous, it leads to further questions like: "Why bother?" and "What is actually important?", questions many have no answer to.

P.S. I'm apparently very bad at predicting when this blog is actually dead.

I actually found something worth linking...

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/01/dude-you-broke-the-future.html

I think that's it for this blog.

Hope it was helpful, or at least interesting. Just really running out of things to link. Even when I try to find news articles I feel like all I find are meaningless pages with no real information, and lots of advertising. Or the article itself will be an ad for some service, or a solicitation for help with some project. It seems the battle between propaganda and facts has already ended, and propaganda has won.

Edit: I was wrong. Blog not dead yet... yet.
