🚨New preprint alert🚨 Presence is Reality: Rethinking Virtual and Real-World Consciousness In which we argue that 'presence' as defined and discussed in the field of computer science, is mechanistically and conceptually identical to 'reality' 1/🧵 osf.io/preprints/psya…

3/3 The PIQ reveals five key factors of parental interoception: Attention, Epistemic Attitudes, Trust & Self-Efficacy, Regulation, and Linking. A step toward understanding how parents shape interoceptive development! 🧑‍🧒

2/3 Many measures assess how parents read their children’s mental and affective states, but what about the body? Our study presents the PIQ, a 24-item self-report measure to help us explore this parental ability and its role in the development of interoception.

1/3 New preprint alert! 🚨 doi.org/10.31219/osf.i… Are you studying interoception in a developmental or parental context? We introduce the Parental Interoception Questionnaire (PIQ), a new tool to assess how parents perceive and respond to their child’s bodily signals.

➡️Join the parent-child interoception study, where children can participate in a science experiment AND learn about their body signals. Parents complete a novel task about their child's body signals!🫀 Slots available 23rd April to 6th May! Sign up: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_6F…

➡️Parent-child half-term activity alert! This is an opportunity for children to be engaged in a science experiment AND learn about their body signals. Parents will complete a novel computer task about their own child's body signals! 🫀 Sign up here: qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_6F…

Is interoception a good target for mental health? Despite the hype on the link between interoception and mental health, there hasn't been a systematic review on psychological interoception-based interventions for mental health. We just published one! 1/5 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…
