    <brief_summary>
      <textblock>
        The purpose of this research study is to investigate how personality traits and&#xD;
        neuroendocrine systems relate to decision-making patterns in individuals 18-45 years old. The&#xD;
        main question it aims to answer is how neuroendocrine activity impacts decision-making.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        This study has two components. First, there will be an online session that participants&#xD;
        complete to consent into the study, complete self-report surveys and a cognitive assessment,&#xD;
        and confirm their eligibility for the second part of the study. If eligible to continue,&#xD;
        participants will complete one in-person experiment session, during which they will complete&#xD;
        self-report measures and a decision-making task. During the in-person session, participants&#xD;
        will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or&#xD;
        the combination of hydrocortisone and yohimbine.&#xD;

        This study has two components. First, there will be a 60 minute online session. During this&#xD;
        session, participants will first be asked to complete the informed consent process, a&#xD;
        demographics and contact form, a series of questionnaires, a working memory assessment, and a&#xD;
        HIPAA authorization. Researchers will also conduct a brief interview about the participant's&#xD;
        medical history (including questions about mood, personality, and symptoms of borderline&#xD;
        personality disorder), which is used to assess eligibility for participation in the study.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        If eligible to continue, participants will complete one 90 minute in-person experiment&#xD;
        session. During the in-person session, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping&#xD;
        a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or the combination of hydrocortisone and&#xD;
        yohimbine. Ingesting hydrocortisone and yohimbine will increase participants' neuroendocrine&#xD;
        (hormone) levels, which naturally become elevated in response to stress. After ingesting&#xD;
        either the placebo or hydrocortisone plus yohimbine, participants will complete a series of&#xD;
        questionnaires on a computer as well as an online decision-making task. While completing the&#xD;
        computer task, participants' heart rate and pupil size activity will be monitored using an&#xD;
        ECG monitor and an eye tracker. Three salivary samples will also be collected during this&#xD;
        session: one immediately before participants ingest the placebo or hydrocortisone/yohimbine&#xD;
        combination and two immediately before and after participants complete the computer game.&#xD;
        These salivary samples will be collected, stored, then assayed, a process that allows us to&#xD;
        measure participants' cortisol levels, a hormone important for the body's stress response.&#xD;

      <measure>Goal-directed decision-making in the Social Decision Tree Task (SDTT)</measure>
      <time_frame>Collected for 30 minutes ~1 hour into Session 2, which takes place on approximately Day 7 of the study</time_frame>
      <description>Measured by choice behavior in SDTT, which is based on the decision tree framework. After each action, participants receive feedback about the effect of that action and the extent to which it added to or took away from their points. If participants make a given choice, the subsequent actions that they can choose are different than if they were to initially make a different choice.&#xD;
  An action in SDTT is goal-directed if the possible net gain an individual can earn before the end of the current epoch (a &quot;day&quot; in the SDTT) is equal to or higher than the amount they could gain by choosing the alternative action. The investigators will subset trials so that 1 is coded as choosing the immediately valuable action at the expense of the optimal and 0 is coded as choosing the optimal at the expense of the immediately valuable action. This outcome variable is binary. An action is defined as social if it is paired with a visual cue with a face on it and non-social if not.</description>

      <measure>Change in salivary cortisol</measure>
      <time_frame>Collected immediately before the drug/placebo administration (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration (~50 minutes into the session) in Session 2, which takes place on approximately Day 7</time_frame>
      <description>The investigators will collect a saliva sample immediately before participants ingest the drugs (or placebos, if in the control condition). They will collect a second saliva sample 45 minutes after the drug (or placebo) ingestion. They will measure cortisol levels in both samples through an assay. The investigators will calculate the change in salivary cortisol by subtracting the measured cortisol in the first saliva sample (collected pre-drug/placebo ingestion) from the measured cortisol in the second saliva sample (collected 45 minutes after the drug/placebo ingestion). Salivary cortisol is measured as nmol/L. Salivary cortisol expected to generally be below 200 nmol/L.</description>

      <measure>Change in valence, measured via the affect grid</measure>
      <time_frame>Collected immediately before the first saliva collection in Session 2 (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the second saliva collection in Session 2 (~50 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7</time_frame>
      <description>Change in valence will be assessed through the affect grid. Participants will be presented with a 9x9 grid. The vertical dimension of the grid represents arousal, while horizontal dimension of the grid represents valence. The left side of the grid represents negative valence and the right side represents positive valence. Participants will click a square on the grid with their computer mouse to indicate their current affect. Their valence will be measured before the drug/placebo ingestion and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration. The minimum valence score is -4, representing extreme negative valence, and the maximum valence score is 4, representing extreme positive valence. The largest change in valence value is 8 (the maximum positive change in valence from time point 1 to time point 2). The smallest change in valence value is -8 (the maximum negative change in valence from time point 1 to time point 2). If no change in valence, the score will be 0.</description>

      <description>Change in arousal will be assessed through the affect grid. Participants will be presented with a 9x9 grid. The vertical dimension of the grid represents arousal, while horizontal dimension of the grid represents valence. The top of the grid represents high arousal and the bottom represents low arousal. Participants will click a square on the grid with their computer mouse to indicate their current affect. Their arousal will be measured before the drug/placebo ingestion and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration. The minimum arousal score is -4, representing extremely low arousal, and the maximum arousal score is 4, representing extremely high arousal. The largest change in arousal value is 8 (the maximum positive change in arousal from time point 1 to time point 2). The smallest change in arousal value is -8 (the maximum negative change in arousal from time point 1 to time point 2). If no change in arousal, the score would be 0.</description>

      <measure>Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) Score</measure>
      <time_frame>Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7</time_frame>
      <description>The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) measures the amount of exposure an individual has had to potentially traumatic life events. In the first 22 items, participants will be asked how many times they have experienced a certain traumatic event, and will respond with &quot;Never&quot;, &quot;Once&quot;, &quot;Twice&quot;, &quot;3 Times&quot;, &quot;4 Times&quot;, &quot;5 Times&quot;, and &quot;&gt; 5 times&quot;. If more than 5 times, they would specify the number of times they experienced the event. The number of times they experienced an event is their score for that item. Item 23 asks which traumatic event that they experienced, if any, causes them the most distress; they will then be asked how much distress that event currently causes them on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no distress) to 5 (extreme distress). Total score on TLEQ is the summed score across items assessing experience of different stressful life events. Scores range from 0 (No stressors experienced) to 110 (every stressor experienced 5+ times).</description>

  The purpose of this research study is to investigate how personality traits and
        neuroendocrine systems relate to decision-making patterns in individuals 18-45 years old. The
        main question it aims to answer is how neuroendocrine activity impacts decision-making.
  
        This study has two components. First, there will be an online session that participants
        complete to consent into the study, complete self-report surveys and a cognitive assessment,
        and confirm their eligibility for the second part of the study. If eligible to continue,
        participants will complete one in-person experiment session, during which they will complete
        self-report measures and a decision-making task. During the in-person session, participants
        will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or
        the combination of hydrocortisone and yohimbine.
  This study has two components. First, there will be a 60 minute online session. During this
        session, participants will first be asked to complete the informed consent process, a
        demographics and contact form, a series of questionnaires, a working memory assessment, and a
        HIPAA authorization. Researchers will also conduct a brief interview about the participant's
        medical history (including questions about mood, personality, and symptoms of borderline
        personality disorder), which is used to assess eligibility for participation in the study.
  
        If eligible to continue, participants will complete one 90 minute in-person experiment
        session. During the in-person session, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping
        a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or the combination of hydrocortisone and
        yohimbine. Ingesting hydrocortisone and yohimbine will increase participants' neuroendocrine
        (hormone) levels, which naturally become elevated in response to stress. After ingesting
        either the placebo or hydrocortisone plus yohimbine, participants will complete a series of
        questionnaires on a computer as well as an online decision-making task. While completing the
        computer task, participants' heart rate and pupil size activity will be monitored using an
        ECG monitor and an eye tracker. Three salivary samples will also be collected during this
        session: one immediately before participants ingest the placebo or hydrocortisone/yohimbine
        combination and two immediately before and after participants complete the computer game.
        These salivary samples will be collected, stored, then assayed, a process that allows us to
        measure participants' cortisol levels, a hormone important for the body's stress response.
  allocation: Randomized
  intervention model: Parallel Assignment
  primary purpose: Basic Science
  masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)
  measure: Goal-directed decision-making in the Social Decision Tree Task (SDTT)
  time frame: Collected for 30 minutes ~1 hour into Session 2, which takes place on approximately Day 7 of the study
  description: Measured by choice behavior in SDTT, which is based on the decision tree framework. After each action, participants receive feedback about the effect of that action and the extent to which it added to or took away from their points. If participants make a given choice, the subsequent actions that they can choose are different than if they were to initially make a different choice.
  An action in SDTT is goal-directed if the possible net gain an individual can earn before the end of the current epoch (a "day" in the SDTT) is equal to or higher than the amount they could gain by choosing the alternative action. The investigators will subset trials so that 1 is coded as choosing the immediately valuable action at the expense of the optimal and 0 is coded as choosing the optimal at the expense of the immediately valuable action. This outcome variable is binary. An action is defined as social if it is paired with a visual cue with a face on it and non-social if not.
  measure: Change in salivary cortisol
  time frame: Collected immediately before the drug/placebo administration (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration (~50 minutes into the session) in Session 2, which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The investigators will collect a saliva sample immediately before participants ingest the drugs (or placebos, if in the control condition). They will collect a second saliva sample 45 minutes after the drug (or placebo) ingestion. They will measure cortisol levels in both samples through an assay. The investigators will calculate the change in salivary cortisol by subtracting the measured cortisol in the first saliva sample (collected pre-drug/placebo ingestion) from the measured cortisol in the second saliva sample (collected 45 minutes after the drug/placebo ingestion). Salivary cortisol is measured as nmol/L. Salivary cortisol expected to generally be below 200 nmol/L.
  measure: Pupil diameter during SDTT
  time frame: Collected for 30 minutes ~1 hour into Session 2, which takes place on approximately Day 7 of the study
  description: The outcome will be measured using eye tracking technology.
  measure: Change in valence, measured via the affect grid
  time frame: Collected immediately before the first saliva collection in Session 2 (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the second saliva collection in Session 2 (~50 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: Change in valence will be assessed through the affect grid. Participants will be presented with a 9x9 grid. The vertical dimension of the grid represents arousal, while horizontal dimension of the grid represents valence. The left side of the grid represents negative valence and the right side represents positive valence. Participants will click a square on the grid with their computer mouse to indicate their current affect. Their valence will be measured before the drug/placebo ingestion and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration. The minimum valence score is -4, representing extreme negative valence, and the maximum valence score is 4, representing extreme positive valence. The largest change in valence value is 8 (the maximum positive change in valence from time point 1 to time point 2). The smallest change in valence value is -8 (the maximum negative change in valence from time point 1 to time point 2). If no change in valence, the score will be 0.
  measure: Change in arousal, measured via the affect grid
  time frame: Collected immediately before the first saliva collection in Session 2 (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the second saliva collection in Session 2 (~50 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: Change in arousal will be assessed through the affect grid. Participants will be presented with a 9x9 grid. The vertical dimension of the grid represents arousal, while horizontal dimension of the grid represents valence. The top of the grid represents high arousal and the bottom represents low arousal. Participants will click a square on the grid with their computer mouse to indicate their current affect. Their arousal will be measured before the drug/placebo ingestion and 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration. The minimum arousal score is -4, representing extremely low arousal, and the maximum arousal score is 4, representing extremely high arousal. The largest change in arousal value is 8 (the maximum positive change in arousal from time point 1 to time point 2). The smallest change in arousal value is -8 (the maximum negative change in arousal from time point 1 to time point 2). If no change in arousal, the score would be 0.
  measure: Change in stress, measured via the subjective stress scale
  time frame: Collected immediately before the first saliva collection in Session 2 (~5 minutes into the session) and 45 minutes after the second saliva collection in Session 2 (~50 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: Will be assessed via self-report using the one-item subjective stress scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 10. High values indicate more stress, whereas low values indicate less stress.
  measure: Personality Assessment Inventory-Borderline Scale (PAI-BOR) score
  time frame: Session 1, which takes place on Day 0
  description: The PAI-BOR measures the number of borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms an individual has. The maximum PAI-BOR score is 72, while the minimum score is 0. Lower scores indicate fewer BPD symptoms, whereas higher scores indicate more BPD symptoms.
  The PAI-BOR has five subscales measuring four core BPD traits: Affective Instability, Identity Problems, Negative Relationships, and Self-Harm. The scoring of the subscales are as followed (R = item is reverse-scored): Affective Instability: 1, 4, 7R, 10, 14R, 18; Identity Problems: 2, 5, 8, 11, 15, 19R; Negative Relationships: 3, 6, 9, 12R, 16, 20R; Self-Harm: 13, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24R. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 18 for each of these subscales.
  Individuals in the BPD group must have a PAI-BOR score of 38 or higher. Individuals in the matched control (MC) group must score 12 or lower on the PAI-BOR.
  measure: Interbeat Interval (IBI) time series during SDTT
  time frame: Collected approximately 1 hour into Session 2 for 30 minutes (which takes place on approximately Day 7)
  description: The time (in milliseconds) between heartbeats. The IBI will be measured using an electrocardiogram (ECG).
  measure: Heart rate variability (HRV) during SDTT
  time frame: Collected approximately 1 hour into Session 2 for 30 minutes (which takes place on approximately Day 7)
  description: The variation over time of heart beat intervals. HRV will be measured using an electrocardiogram (ECG).
  measure: Electrodermal activity (EDA) during SDTT
  time frame: Collected approximately 1 hour into Session 2 for 30 minutes (which takes place on approximately Day 7)
  description: Tonic electrodermal activity, which will be determined by using a continuous decomposition analysis.
  measure: Skin conductance response during SDTT
  time frame: Collected approximately 1 hour into Session 2 for 30 minutes (which takes place on approximately Day 7)
  description: Will be assessed using a skin response module. The skin conductance response will be determined by using a continuous decomposition analysis.
  measure: World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS) score
  time frame: Session 1, which takes place on Day 0
  description: The WHODAS measures impairment resulting from mental health problems. Participants will complete the 12-item version of the WHODAS. The maximum WHODAS score is 48. The minimum WHODAS score is 0. Lower scores indicate less impairment, whereas higher scores indicate greater impairment.
  Individuals in the matched control (MC) group must have a WHODAS score of 0.
  measure: Working memory, assessed by the digit span score
  time frame: Session 1, which takes place on Day 0
  description: Working memory will be assessed through the digit span task, where participants are presented with a sequence of numbers containing 3 to 16 numbers. Digit span scores are calculated from the largest number sequence a participant could recall before making two consecutive errors. The minimum score is 3, and the maximum score is 16. Higher scores indicate greater working memory capacity, whereas lower scores indicate lower working memory capacity.
  measure: Big Five Inventory (BFI-II) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The Big Five Inventory (BFI-II) measures personality traits via a 60-item questionnaire. These items are measured using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
  There are five domain scales (R = item is reverse-coded): Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Negative Emotionality, and Openness. The minimum score is 12 while the maximum is 60 for each domain scale.
  The facet scales are Sociability, Assertiveness, Energy Level, Compassion, Respectfulness, Trust, Organization, Productiveness, Responsibility, Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Volatility, Intellectual Curiosity, Aesthetic Sensitivity, and Creative Imagination. The minimum score is 4 while the maximum is 20 for each facet scale.
  Individuals who score high on the BFI-II tend to exhibit more qualities associated with each of the personality traits.
  measure: Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-90) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-90) is a 90-item questionnaire assessing interpersonal problems. The items are measured using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Higher scores indicate more interpersonal problems, whereas lower scores indicate fewer interpersonal problems. The investigators will score each of the eight octant sub scales of the IIP and compute the elevation, dominance, affiliation, and personality disorder subscales on the IIP. Scale scores range from 0 (no interpersonal problems) to 4 (many interpersonal problems).
  measure: Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire (TLEQ) measures the amount of exposure an individual has had to potentially traumatic life events. In the first 22 items, participants will be asked how many times they have experienced a certain traumatic event, and will respond with "Never", "Once", "Twice", "3 Times", "4 Times", "5 Times", and "> 5 times". If more than 5 times, they would specify the number of times they experienced the event. The number of times they experienced an event is their score for that item. Item 23 asks which traumatic event that they experienced, if any, causes them the most distress; they will then be asked how much distress that event currently causes them on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no distress) to 5 (extreme distress). Total score on TLEQ is the summed score across items assessing experience of different stressful life events. Scores range from 0 (No stressors experienced) to 110 (every stressor experienced 5+ times).
  measure: Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency, Impulsive Behavior (UPPS-P) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale is a 59-item questionnaire that measures the factors that could lead to impulsive behaviors. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Agree Strongly) to 4 (Disagree Strongly). The minimum score is 59, and the maximum score is 236.

  measure: Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) is an 11-item questionnaire that measures drug dependence. Higher scores indicate higher drug dependence, whereas lower scores indicate less drug dependence. The first 9 items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4. The last two questions are scored with 0 (No), 2 (Yes, but not in the past year), or 3 (Yes, during the past year). The minimum score is 0, while the maximum score is 42.
  measure: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Severity of Substance Use (Past 3 months) - Calibrated Items
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
  description: The PROMIS Severity of Substance Use (Past 3 months) is a 38-item questionnaire assessing the severity of a participant's substance use. The first question is scored as 1 (No) or 2 (Yes). The following 37 items are a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (Almost Always). The researchers will obtain the T-score of the total PROMIS score. Higher scores indicate a higher severity of substance use.
  measure: Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) Score
  time frame: Collected for 45 minutes after the drug/placebo administration in Session 2 (beginning ~10 minutes into the session), which takes place on approximately Day 7
