Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic and associated countermeasures had an immensely disruptive impact on people’s lives. Due to the lack of systematic pre-pandemic data, however, it is still unclear how individuals’ psychological health has been affected across this incisive event. In study, we analyze longitudinal data from two healthy samples ( N = 307) provide quasi-longitudinal insight into full trajectory burden before (baseline), during first peak, at a relative downturn pandemic. Our...
Abstract We systematically compared different measures of attentional bias (i.e., reaction times, the N2pc component in EEG, and explicit stimulus ratings) on their ability to reveal engagement threatening versus neutral facial stimuli a Dot Probe Task tested relation trait general social anxiety. found that reflects toward angry faces with excellent internal consistency. Similar results were obtained for ratings. Reaction time (RT) differences, however, not indicative biases showed zero...
Abstract Punishment in economic games has been interpreted as “altruistic.” However, it was shown that punishment is related to trait anger instead of altruism a third‐party dictator game if compensation also available. Here, we investigated the influence state on and game. Therefore, used movie sequences for emotional priming, including target states anger, happy, neutral. We measured Feedback‐Related Negativity (FRN) midfrontal theta band activation, investigate an electro‐cortical...
Generalization of fear is considered an important mechanism contributing to the etiology and maintenance anxiety disorders. Although previous studies have identified importance stimulus discrimination for generalization, it still unclear what degree overt attention relevant features might mediate its magnitude. To test prediction that visual preferences distinguishing aspects are associated with reduced we developed a set facial stimuli was meticulously manipulated such pairs faces could...
The ability to adaptively transfer acquired fear novel situations is fundamental for survival in ever-changing environments and may contribute the emergence persistence of anxiety disorders. Consequently, research has focused on assessment generalization profiles predict individual differences trait anxiousness. However, substantial heterogeneity measurement operationalization hampers comparisons across studies poses a risk replicability findings. To address these issues, we reviewed...
Adequate control over automatic responses to affective stimuli is crucial for adaptive goal-oriented behavior. However, it remains unclear how individuals overcome approach-avoidance tendencies appetitive and aversive stimuli. Here we examined free versus forced decisions four conditioned (CSs), which were previously paired with either a single (avCS+) or outcome (appCS+), both (i.e., conflicting) outcomes (confCS+), no (neuCS-). These CSs presented in an anticipation phase before...
Fear generalization has been identified as an important mechanism that might contribute to the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. It is, however, yet unclear what degree attentional processes overgeneralization fear in clinical samples. To address this issue, we utilized a set facial photographs was meticulously created such pairs faces could either be distinguished by looking into eyes or region around mouth nose, respectively. These were then employed CS+ CS− differential...
Human neuroscience has always been pushing the boundary of what is measurable. During last decade, concerns about statistical power and replicability – in science general, but also specifically human have fueled an extensive debate. One important insight from this discourse need for larger samples, which naturally increases power. An alternative to increase precision measurements, focus review. This option often overlooked, even though benefits increasing as much sample size. Nonetheless, at...

Diese Dissertationsschrift beschaftigt sich mit biologischen Korrelaten von Aufmerksamkeits-verzerrungen und eruiert deren Modifikation in einem langsschnittlich angelegten Experiment. Hierfur wurden uber 100 sozial-angstliche Teilnehmer Hilfe einer Screening-Prozedur gewonnen hinsichtlich der Auspragung ereigniskorrelierten Lateralisation namens „N2pc“ untersucht. Wahrend ersten Labormessung indizierte die N2pc bei Bearbeitung eines Dot Probe Paradigmas einen mittelgrosen, statistisch...
