Sensitive to music? Examining the crossmodal effect of audition on sweet taste ...
Guedes, D.; Prada, M.; Garrido, M. V.; Caeiro, I.; Simões, C.; Lamy, E.Previous research has shown that music can influence taste perception. While most studies to date have focused on taste intensity ratings, less is known about the influence of musical stimuli on other parameters of taste function. In this within-subjects experiment (N = 73), we tested the effects of three sound conditions (High Sweetness soundtrack – HS; Low Sweetness soundtrack – LS; and Silence – S) on sweet ...

Psychometric validation of the Portuguese version of the Measure of Anxiety in ...
Santos, A. C.; Arriaga, P.; Simões, C.Feeling anxiety in a job interview is common. It is important to have a valid, reliable, and culturally adapted measure, enabling cross-cultural comparisons. Our main goal was to examine the psychometric properties of the Measure of Anxiety in Selection Interviews (MASI) in a Portuguese sample since no similar measure is available in the Portuguese language. The MASI was developed to capture five dimensions of ...
Emotion regulation and student engagement: Age and gender differences across ad...
Santos, A. C.; Simões, C.; Cefai, C.; Freitas, E.; Arriaga, P.Research has documented the role of emotions in learning and emotion regulation for student engagement (SE). However, knowledge regarding the predictive power of emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) on SE at different age-groups was lacking. Also, our study aimed to provide data on ERSs use based on age and gender since findings are mixed. This cross-sectional study included a representative sample (N = 1507) o...
Catching the audience in a job interview: Effects of emotion regulation strateg...
Santos, A. C.; Arriaga, P.; Simões, C.In the emotion regulation process more than one strategy is often used, though studies continue to rely on the manipulation of one strategy alone. This study compares the effects of Combined Cognitive Reappraisal (CCR: acceptance and reappraise via perspective-taking) and suppression using the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). One hundred participants were randomly assigned to one of the two groups and subjectiv...

Dietary Glycotoxins Impair Hepatic Lipidemic Profile in Diet-Induced Obese Rats...
Neves, C.; Rodrigues, T.; Sereno, J.; Simões, C.; Castelhano, J.; Gonçalves, J.; Bento, G.; Gonçalves, S.; Seiça, R.; Domingues, M. R. M.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by excessive liver lipid accumulation, but insulin resistance is specifically associated with impaired lipid saturation, oxidation, and storage (esterification), besides increased de novo lipogenesis. We hypothesized that dietary glycotoxins could impair hepatic lipid metabolism in obesity contributing to lipotoxicity-driven insulin resistance and thus to the o...
