The Attentional Control Scale (ACS; Derryberry & Reed, 2002) has been used to assess executive control over attention in numerous studies, but no published data have examined the factor structure of English version. current studies addressed this need and tested predictive convergent validity ACS subscales. In Study 1, exploratory analysis yielded a two-factor model with Focusing Shifting 2, confirmatory supported suggested superior fit compared Icelandic version (Ólafsson et al., 2011). 3...
The vigilance–avoidance hypothesis suggests that socially anxious individuals attempt to detect signs they are being evaluated (vigilance) and subsequently direct attention away from such stimuli (avoidance). Although extensive evidence supports vigilance, data concerning subsequent avoidance is equivocal. Drawing models of attention, the current study hypothesised working memory load moderates late attentional bias in social anxiety occurs if low, difficulty disengaging high. Forty-one...
To evaluate biochemically verified smoking status and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use behaviors beliefs among a sample of customers from vapor stores (stores specializing in ENDS).A cross-sectional survey 215 adult store at four retail locations the Midwestern United States; subset participants (n = 181) also completed exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) testing to verify status.Outcomes evaluated included ENDS preferences, harm beliefs, behaviors, history current status.Most...

Currently, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are studied as though they a homogeneous category. However, there several noteworthy differences in the products that fall under this name, including potential efficacy of these smoking cessation aids. The current study examined comparative first- and second-generation e-cigarettes reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms sample smokers with little or no experience using e-cigarettes.Twenty-two mildly to moderately nicotine-dependent individuals...
Cognitive models of social anxiety disorder posit that maladaptive thought processes play an etiological role in symptoms. The current study tested whether socially anxious individuals (HSAs) demonstrated impaired processing efficiency at the neural and behavioral level, this was exacerbated by self-focused attention. Thirty-two (16 anxious, 16 nonanxious controls) subjects completed a mixed-antisaccade task with oddball instructional cue. To manipulate self-focus, participants were told cue...
Anticipatory processing is an anxious style of repetitive negative thought associated with social anxiety (SA) that was proposed by Clark and Wells. Considerable research has examined factors Wells' cognitive model SA (e.g. attention, interpretation), but few studies have anticipatory processing, which hypothesized to interact other components in the model. In current study, individuals high symptoms (HSA; N = 56) control participants [Normal Control (NC); 52] engaged anticipation or...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has created disruptions to daily life resulting in wide-spread unemployment and psychological distress. Recent studies have reported high rates of alcohol use during this time; however, longitudinal data remain scarce factors associated with increases high-risk drinking observed over time are unknown. Aims current study examined changes patterns across four 7-day observation periods, prior following a university wide campus closure. Additionally,...
This study examined the effect of duration electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use on e-cigarette dependence, frequency use, and strength nicotine solution as well number cigarettes smoked per day. Individuals were recruited at retail locations in a large Midwestern metropolitan city United States July 2013. A total 159 participants completed brief 29-item self-report measure that assessed behaviors perceptions use. The mean age was 35.8 years; 84.4% White, 53.7% male. Increased associated...
