This research was focused on serial killers' brains and how it affects their attitudes and behavior. Serial killers' brain scans show how their brains are different than normal people's. They had deficiencies in multiple areas of the brain, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which may explain their violent tendencies and behavioral issues. The serial killers' brain scans showed a reduced amount of neuron-rich gray matter in their brains that might impact the brain emotion control center. Genetics and environment can influence people to become serial killers. The Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) gene, also called the killer or "warrior" gene, when combined with watching violence, may lead to violent behaviors. It is important to develop ways to anticipate gene predestination and allow for earlier intervention for impacted individuals not to become serial killers.

Description

Internet-delivered mindfulness and relaxation training were compared with each other and a no-treatment control on stress, coping, and mindfulness measures. Participants (n = 114) were assessed before and after treatment, and their compliance with the intervention they received was tracked.

Internet-delivered mindfulness and relaxation training were compared with each other and a no-treatment control on stress, coping, and mindfulness measures. Participants (n = 114) were assessed before and after treatment, and their compliance with the intervention they received was tracked. The treatments were received at a time, place, and computer of the participants’ choosing with the proviso that three exercises be completed during each of three successive weeks. Both mindfulness and relaxation reduced stress, but only mindfulness training increased mindfulness and reduced emotion-focused coping.
