Modeling Complex Systems: Personality, Brain and Social Systems - MOSISCOM

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2015-246

 
Description of research activity:

For years we have been working and publishing on the biological basis of personality, especially the brain and genetic mechanisms that underlie human behaviour. In this process we have proposed a theory on the General Personality Factor, and we have created an instrument to assess it. We have also proposed and investigated psychological intervention techniques (based on classical conditioning and suggestion) to modify personality and emotional states. At the same time, we have created complex mathematical models to study the dynamics of personality in the face of external stimuli, especially drugs. In this sense, we have mathematically modelled brain reactions to different drugs as a function of individual differences, while at the same time we have created a dynamic model that explains drug addictions.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • From an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing psychology, mathematics, sociology, and biology, and using the approach of general systems theory, we are developing dynamic models of personality and drug effects, personality changes, and the underlying brain mechanisms. We are also studying social systems from a systems theory perspective, such as demographic changes, national development, and their relationship to quality of life, the economy, and the environment.
 
Research lines:
  • General personality factor.Proposal of a psychobiological model of General Personality Factor (GPF). Creation of an instrument for measuring the GPF.
  • Dynamic socio-economic models.Modelling social systems, values and quality of life, and demographic flows.
  • Psychological intervention and personality.Application of psychological intervention techniques (self-regulation therapy) to modify personality and drug management.
  • Mathematical modelling of brain activity.Mathematical modelling of electroencephalographic (EEG) brain activity in relation to drug effects and from the paradigm of individual differences.
