However, the results were based on very small numbers, and the passivity issue was not the main focus of the studies.
Neuropsychological and functional neuroimaging data suggest that passivity delusions are associated with dysfunction of the parietal lobe association cortex.

In overcoming timidity and the norms of feminine passivity, one might move closer to the ideal of the transcendent superwoman.
Whether it would in fact lead people to such passivity and apathy is another question, more psychological than purely rational or logical.
These data provide direct evidence for the involvement of the parietal lobe in the pathophysiology of passivity delusions in schizophrenia.
The role of a moral "free agent" was as distant from passivity as it was from autonomy.
We also find a mix of agency and passivity in the descriptions of forced labor assignments in camps.
