Acute hunger does not always undermine prosociality
This is the final version. Available on open access from Nature Research via the DOI in this recordData Availability: The data that support the findings of this paper are available on the OSF website
(https://osf.io/zexd7/?view_only=480593713c904397a033e751a6da7a69).It has been argued that, when they are acutely hungry, people act in self-protective ways
by keeping resources to themselves rather than sharing them. In four studies, using experimental,
quasi-experimental, and correlational designs (total N = 795), we examine the effects of acute
hunger on prosociality in a wide variety of non-interdependent tasks (e.g. dictator game) and
interdependent tasks (e.g. public goods games). While our procedures successfully increase
subjective hunger and decrease blood glucose, we do not find significant effects of hunger on
prosociality. This is true for both decisions incentivized with money and with food. Metaanalysis across all tasks reveals a very small effect of hunger on prosociality in noninterdependent tasks (d = .108), and a non-significant effect in interdependent tasks (d = -0.076).
In study five (N = 197), we show that, in stark contrast to our empirical findings, people hold
strong lay theories that hunger undermines prosociality.Volkswagen Foundatio
A genetic cause of Alzheimer disease: mechanistic insights from Down syndrome
Down syndrome, caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, is associated with a greatly increased risk of early onset Alzheimer disease. It is thought that this risk is conferred by the presence of three copies of the gene encoding amyloid precursor protein (APP), an Alzheimer risk factor, although the possession of extra copies of other chromosome 21 genes may also play a role. Further study of the mechanisms underlying the development of Alzheimer disease in Down syndrome could provide insights into the mechanisms that cause dementia in the general population
