Abstract Several studies have linked the COVID-19 pandemic to unfavorable mental health outcomes. However, we know little about long-term changes in due so far. Here, used longitudinal data from a general population sample of 1388 adults Germany, who were initially assessed between April and May 2020 (i.e., at beginning Germany) prospectively followed up after 6 ( n = 1082) 12 months 945). Depressive anxiety symptoms as well loneliness did not change baseline 6-month follow-up. While long...
The spreading of COVID-19 has led to panic buying all over the world. In this study, we applied an animal model framework elucidate changes in human purchasing behavior under pandemic conditions. Purchasing and potential predictors were assessed online questionnaire format ( N = 813). Multiple regression analyses used evaluate role individually Perceived Threat , anxiety related personality traits (trait-anxiety, intolerance uncertainty) media exposure predicting quantity frequency behavior....
Abstract Severe health anxiety (HA) is characterized by excessive worry and about one's health, often accompanied distressing intrusive imagery of signs a serious illness or potentially receiving bad news having life-threatening disease. However, the emotional responses to these illness-related mental images in relation HA have not been fully elucidated. Emotional 142 participants were assessed well-controlled script-driven task, systematically comparing with neutral standard fear imagery....
Stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with elevated depression and anxiety in younger, but not older adults: results from a nationwide community sample of adults Germany - Volume 52 Issue 15
A challenge in exposure-based treatments is the effective generalization of extinction learning, as it tends to be highly specific stimuli or situations used during exposure. This study takes a first step toward enhancing by promoting updating memory. 35 participants underwent three-day, within-subject, category-based fear conditioning paradigm. Two conditioned stimulus (CS) categories were paired with an electric shock acquisition training (CS+1; CS+2), while one CS category was not (CS-)....
Abstract Background The present study aims to delineate the role of preexisting depression for changes in common mental health problems during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Using mixed-effects linear regression models, we analyzed data on course depressive (Patient Health Questionnaire-2) and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2) symptoms as well loneliness (three-item UCLA Loneliness Scale) a subset Socio-Economic Panel Study, large nationally representative household panel from Germany....
Figuring out which symptoms are central for symptom escalation during the COVID-19 pandemic is important targeting prevention and intervention. Previous studies have contributed to understanding of course psychological distress pandemic, but less known about key over time. Going beyond a pathogenetic pathway perspective, we applied network approach psychopathology examine how unfolds in period maximum stress (pre-pandemic onset) repeated (pandemic peak peak). We conducted secondary data...
In patients with anxiety and/or respiratory diseases, body sensations, particularly from the system, may increase in intensity and aversiveness thus lead into defensive action (e.g., escape) or panic. The processes, however, that might contribute to culmination of symptoms switch have not been well understood yet. current study aimed at evaluating an experimental paradigm characterize dynamics mobilization sensations increasing aversiveness. Persons reporting low high suffocation fear (SF; N...

Although observational fear learning has been implicated in the development of phobic-related fears, studies investigating bodily symptoms remain scarce. Therefore, aim present study was to investigate whether response can be acquired simply by observing a fearful reaction provocation aversive others. Forty healthy participants underwent an conditioning paradigm consisting two phases. In first phase, observed demonstrator reacting symptom (unconditioned stimulus or US, i.e., labored...
Abstract Introduction: Fear of pain seems to be a key factor in the development and maintenance chronic pain-related disability. Interoceptive fear conditioning is assumed constitute an important mechanism origins pain. If conditioned stimuli such as internal bodily sensations are repeatedly paired with (unconditioned stimulus), they turn elicit response, including defence mobilization startle modulation changes heart rate electrodermal activity. Research into emotional imagery suggests that...
Individuals with increased risk of being in contact COVID-19 cases at work have been reported to suffer from higher fear infection and associated mental health problems. The present study examines whether this is further by anxiety sensitivity (AS, i.e., bodily symptoms such as breathlessness, which also are core COVID-19) that known be an psychopathology. In spring 2020, 783 German care social workers participated a cross-sectional online-survey, sensitivity, depression, anxiety, well panic...
Panic disorder (PD) is characterized by a dysfunctional defensive responding to panic-related body symptoms that assumed contribute the persistence of panic symptomatology. The present study aimed at examining whether this reactivity would no longer be following successful cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) but persist when patients show insufficient symptom improvement. Therefore, in study, effects CBT on reported and response mobilization during interoceptive challenge were investigated...
Background: Emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety share significant similarities in their etiology treatment. In recent decades, these commonalities have been increasingly recognized classification systems treatment programs crossing diagnostic boundaries. Methods: To examine the prospective effects of different transdiagnostic markers on relevant outcomes, we plan to track a minimum N = 200 patients with emotional during routine course cognitive behavioral therapy at two German...
Safety behaviors are core features of anxiety-related disorders, specifically involving that do not completely terminate aversive situations, but rather prevent the risk occurrence expected outcome (US). This study aimed to examine dynamics defensive reactivity associated with safety behaviors, both before and after their execution, investigate changes in these reactions following extensive training. Twenty-four healthy participants underwent a US-avoidance task as an experimental analog...
