In the present study, we focus on the relationship between state authenticity - the experience of being true to oneself in a particular moment - and microdosing - a practice that implies repeatedly ingesting very small doses of psychedelics that do not reach the threshold for perceptual alterations. We propose that microdosing could increase state authenticity through influencing people's mood and the number and satisfaction with daily activities. We used self-assessments of state authenticity collected from 18 microdosers in the Netherlands across the period of 1 month for a total of 192 observations. We found that on the microdosing day and the day thereafter, state authenticity was significantly higher. Furthermore, the number of activities and the satisfaction with them were higher on the day when participants microdosed, while the following day only the number of activities was higher. Both the number or activities and the satisfaction with them were positively related to state authenticity. We propose that feeling and behaving authentically could have a central role in explaining the positive effects of microdosing on health and wellbeing that are reported by current research.
在本研究中，我们关注的是状态真实性（即在特定时刻忠于自我的体验）与微剂量服用（一种反复摄入非常小剂量致幻剂的做法，这些剂量未达到感知改变的阈值）之间的关系。我们提出，微剂量服用可以通过影响人们的情绪以及日常活动的数量和满意度来提高状态真实性。我们使用了从荷兰的18名微剂量服用者那里收集的状态真实性自我评估数据，为期1个月，总共192次观察。我们发现，在微剂量服用当天及之后的一天，状态真实性显著更高。此外，在参与者进行微剂量服用的当天，活动数量及其满意度更高，而在第二天只有活动数量更高。活动数量及其满意度均与状态真实性呈正相关。我们提出，真实地感受和行为可能在解释当前研究所报告的微剂量服用对健康和幸福的积极影响方面发挥核心作用。
