SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Dr Laura Corbit
DESCRIPTION:Dr Laura Corbit (University of Toronto)Bio\nI received my PhD from UCLA where I worked with Bernard Balleine studying the neural circuits underlying goal-directed learning. I completed my postdoctoral training in the lab of Patricia Janak at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Centre where I studied how exposure to alcohol altered behavioural control.  From there I moved to the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney where I was a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer until 2017 when I moved to the University of Toronto where I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology.\nMy lab continues to study the behavioural and neural control of instrumental learning and reward-seeking behaviours. We are particularly interested in the role of different types of behavioural control and how they are acquired\, as well as how life experiences such as diet or exposure to drugs alters learning and behaviour.\nUnderstanding the effects of diet on decision-making and the neural circuits underlying behavioural control\nAbstract\nHabits provide a rapid\, efficient means for decision making however\, this comes with a loss of behavioural flexibility.  Although striatal circuits are involved in habit learning\, little is known about how experiences that accelerate habit learning alter activity in these circuits to promote premature habitual control.  Using the outcome devaluation task to distinguish flexible actions from habits\, we have found that long-term access to an obesogenic diet promotes habitual behavioural control. I will present data that demonstrate changes to glutamate transmission and microglial activity following the obesogenic diet\, pharmacological reversal of which restored goal-directed control. These results have important implications for understanding failures of behavioural control and strategies for improving behavioural flexibility.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Prof Ian Hickie
DESCRIPTION:Prof Ian Hickie (USYD)Bio\nProfessor Hickie is a Professor of Psychiatry and the Co-Director of Health and Policy\, Brain and Mind Centre\, University of Sydney. He has led major public health and health services developments in Australia\, particularly focusing on early intervention for young people with depression\, suicidal thoughts and behaviours and complex mood disorders. He is active in the development through codesign\, implementation and continuous evaluation of new health information and personal monitoring technologies to drive highly-personalized and measurement-based care.\nCircadian Depression: Testing a pathophysiological pathway to mood disorders\nAbstract\nMuch of our everyday sense of well-being is driven by a well functioning 24-hour sleep-wake cycle\, underpinned by the physiology of our body clock – or circadian system. Much progress has been made over the last two decades in unravelling the complex brain and body mechanisms that align the function of that clock with the external light-dark rhythms\, and the changes in those rhythms that occur regularly across seasons and across the normal developmental life cycle. Our group at the Brain and Mind Centre actively investigates the ways in which dysfunction of those clock mechanisms may give rise to particular types of mood disorders characterized by low energy\, prolonged sleep\, weight gain and reduced motor activity. Of particular interest is the ways in which these states may also switch to an opposite phenotype of high energy\, increased motor activity and low sleep. The importance of identifying these types of mood disorders\, and designing specific behavioural and pharmacological approaches to care\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Dr Christina Anthony
DESCRIPTION:Dr Christina Anthony (USYD)Bio\nDr. Christina I. Anthony is currently a Lecturer in the Discipline of Marketing at The University of Sydney Business School. Christina’s research uses experimental design to examine questions on the psychology of consumer behavior. She has a particular interest in studying interpersonal processes and relationship dynamics during social and marketplace interactions; including interpersonal deception and emotion regulation. She also seeks to understand the role of affect and motivation in goal pursuit. Christina obtained her PhD and Honours with the University Medal from The University of Sydney. She was the recipient of an ARC Discovery Grant Postdoctoral Fellowship. Christina’s papers have been published in top-tier (FT50) journals including the Journal of Consumer Research and have been featured in a range of media outlets including the Wall Street Journal\, NBC News\, The Atlantic\, ABC News\, and 2UE Radio.\nHumorous Denials\nAbstract\nEvery day people deny rumors and accusations of wrongdoing. Their denials typically take a serious tone (e.g. I did not have sexual relations with that woman – Bill Clinton)\, however some denials are intended to be humorous. From Chrissy Teigen’s hilarious clapbacks to photoshop accusations; celebrity surgeon Munjed Al Muderis jokingly dismissing claims about inflicting his patients with maggot–ridden wounds; to WWE champion Randy Orton laughing off claims of sexual misconduct\, humorous denials have attracted significant attention. This paper introduces the concept of humorous denials and examines the benefits and dangers of being humorous when denying an accusation. Across five studies we show that in contrast to the belief that a humorous response will help make a denial seem more credible\, a humor attempt in fact increases suspicion of wrongdoing. However\, while using humor to deny an accusation may harm deniers by heightening suspicion of wrongdoing – we show that\, ironically\, it may also benefit the denier by reducing anger and subsequent punishment when the denial is subsequently exposed as a lie. This research not only establishes the novel role of humor in denials\, but it is the first to examine the unexplored interplay between humor and deception. Our findings suggest a trade-off of implications for individuals and companies managing high-stake reputations and brand relationships.\nThis research is conducted in collaboration with Associate Professor Caleb Warren (University of Arizona) and Professor Peter McGraw (University of Colorado).\nAuthors:\nDr Christina I.
