Abstract Artificial intelligence represents a key technology being inbuilt into evermore products. Research investigating attitudes towards artificial surprisingly is still scarce, although it becomes apparent that will shape societies around the globe. To better understand individual differences in intelligence, present study investigated n = 351 participants associations between Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS) and Attitudes Intelligence framework (ATAI). It could be observed particular higher levels of SADNESS were associated with negative AI (fearing AI). The findings are discussed this work from an evolutionary perspective because primary emotional systems—according to Theory—represent tools for survival, which have been homologously conserved across mammalian species including homo sapiens.

Depression is linked to stress which leaves traces in the epigenetic signature of genes. The oxytocin system implicated allostatic processes promoting adaption environmental stressors. Interactions with environment, e.g., methylation gene coding for (OXT), are candidates investigation biological underpinnings depression. Recently, we found hypomethylation OXT patients Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) compared healthy controls (HC). Since replicability findings a key point criticism (epi‑)genetic research, aimed confirm our previous pre-registered study (data was stored database prior pre-registration) within new sample n = 85 MDD and HC. We investigated DNA-methylation peripheral blood samples, stressful life events depression severity. In accordance study, Methylation not associated events. Patients reported significantly more Our revealed that can be demonstrated reproducible fashion provides further evidence involvement
