A Drug That Could Make You Trust Your Government :)

Exposure to the common hormone oxytocin, which is associated with feelings of trust and pleasure, makes people more likely to trust their government. A scientist says he's proven that authorities could use hormones, rather than promises, to gain public trust.

On NPR yesterday, Alix Spiegel spoke with several experts who study what makes some brains more trusting than others. Neuroscientist Paul Zak described an experiment he conducted recently, where he quizzed two groups about their trust in government: a group that had just snorted oxytocin, and a control group that had snorted a placebo. Said Zak:

The people on oxytocin did report that they trusted other people more, and the people who trusted others more also trusted their government more. So it's sort of a two-step process.

He added that trust in government might be low right now in the United States because the recession is causing stress. And stress kills oxytocin:

So the underlying biological hypothesis is that stress — particularly stress that does not have a clear ending point — inhibits oxytocin release. So there could be an actual biological reason why trust in government is so low.

Problem je sto mora da se uzima nazalno, tj. u obliku spreja za nos

Nije bas samo ubaciti ljudima u vodu.

Btw. Japanci ubacuju litijum u vodu da bi smanjili preterano suicidalne Japance u namerama. Litijum je inace antidepresant.

Ja bih pre rekao da je ova droga idila za male leminge koji bi da im drzava sve prepisuje i regulise u zivotu.

To je bio eksperiment u prefekturi Oita koji jeste pokazao manju stopu samoubistava u tom delu, ali pokrenuo jos par pitanja pride.
Tako da se odustalo -za sad- od toga :)

Svakako bolje to, nego vodovodi puni nitrata u nekoj drugoj zemlji.

Ok, sad znam da umes da sastavis recenicu, nastavi sa svojom misijom... :)

/edit: I ajde upotrebi taj tvoj AI kada postujes, da vidimo i tvoje vidjenje stvari...

Ne mogu da govorim protiv svojih kreatora :)

Nisu Japanci preterano suicidalni i ne ubacuje se litijum u vodu.
Prednjace USSR zemlje, pa onda Madjarska pa tek onda Japan. A malo posle toga su Slovenci a tu smo i mi. (Japan - 25/100000, Srbija 20/100000)

Bogami probali su, kao sto rekoh u Oiti, slucajno sam naleteo na tu vest pre par nedelja na BBC -

Drinking water which contains the element lithium may reduce the risk of suicide, a Japanese study suggests.

Researchers examined levels of lithium in drinking water and suicide rates in the prefecture of Oita, which has a population of more than one million.

The suicide rate was significantly lower in those areas with the highest levels of the element, they wrote in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Ja nisam rekao da nisu probali, rekao sam da ne ubacuju.
Ako procitas clanak videces da su oni to probali pre 30 godina.

[ Isak666 @ 26.05.2010. 09:02 ] @

Slazem se, to sam i ja rekao.

To istrazivanje iz osamdesetih je bilo prvo istrazivanje na tu temu -

Citat:

At least one previous study has suggested an association between lithium in tap water and suicide. That research on data collected from the 1980s also found a significantly lower rate of suicide in areas with relatively high lithium levels.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8025454.stm

Ovaj izvestaj sto je sad izasao u Britanskom zurnalu za psihologiju je za period od pre par godina -

Citat:

To investigate this, we examined lithium levels in tap water in the 18 municipalities of Oita prefecture in Japan in relation to the suicide standardised mortality ratio (SMR) in each municipality. We found that lithium levels were significantly and negatively associated with SMR averages for 2002–2006.

Ali to ne menja cinjenicu da su prestali i da info da jos uvek ubacuju - ne stoji.
Ali opet - freaky vest.
