A number of studies have examined the association intolerance uncertainty (IU) to trait worry and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). However, few extent overlap between IU other psychological constructs that bear conceptual resemblance IU, despite fact IU-type been discussed extensively within psychology disciplines. The present study investigated (1) associations worry, GAD status a negative risk orientation, curiosity, indecisiveness, perceived constraints, self-oriented socially...

Although numerous studies have provided support for the notion that intolerance of uncertainty plays a key role in pathological worry (the hallmark feature generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)), other uncertainty-related constructs may also relevance understanding individuals who engage worry. Three from social cognition literature, causal uncertainty, importance, and self-concept clarity, were examined present study to assess degree which these explain unique variance GAD, over above...

Stroke survivors rate longer-term (> 2 years) psychological recovery as their top priority, but data on how frequently consequences occur is lacking. Prevalence of cognitive impairment, depression/anxiety, fatigue, apathy and related outcomes, whether rates are stable in long-term stroke, unknown.

Research has demonstrated that individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) hold unhelpful beliefs about worry, uncertainty, and the problem-solving process. Extant writings (e.g., treatment manuals) also suggest other types of maladaptive may characterize those GAD. However, these have received limited empirical attention are not an explicit component cognitive theories The present study examined extent to which dysfunctional attitudes, early schemas, broad self-focused other-focused...

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a risk factor for poor mental health. Acquired brain injury (ABI; example, stroke, traumatic injury) often brings considerable and increased mood disorder vulnerability. The Uncertainty Scale–Short Form (IUS-12) brief, well-validated IU measure in non-ABI samples, comprising two subscales, namely, Prospective Anxiety Inhibitory Anxiety. Here, the first time, we investigated its reliability validity ( N = 118), structure 176), ABI. Both subscales had high...

Negative interpretation bias, the propensity to make threatening interpretations of ambiguous information, is associated with symptoms generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Apart from its relationship intolerance uncertainty (IU), little known about what explains presence this cognitive bias in GAD. One factor may be negative urgency (NU), tendency take rash action when distressed, which related GAD and biases nonclinical populations. The aim present study was examine between NU individuals...

Abstract Background Stroke survivors rate longer-term (&gt;2 years) psychological recovery as their top priority, but data on how frequently consequences occur is lacking. Prevalence of cognitive impairment, depression/anxiety, fatigue, apathy and related outcomes, whether rates are stable in long-term stroke, unknown. Methods N = 105 stroke ( M [ SD ] age 72.92 [13.01]; acute NIH Severity Score 7.39 [6.25]; 59.0% Male; years post-stroke 4.57 [2.12]) were recruited (potential 208)....

This study investigated psychometric properties of the Motivation for Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Questionnaire (MOT-Q), Trust Questionnaire-Self (BMQ-S), Therapy Engagement Scale-Revised (RTES-R), and BMQ-Relative (BMQ-R) in individuals with an acquired brain injury (ABI).Thirty-nine patients ABI completed MOT-Q, BMQ-S, measures apathy (Apathy Evaluation Scale-Self), insight (Patient Competency Rating depression, anxiety (HADS). Twenty clinicians provided 39 ratings using RTES-R,...

Abstract Background Acquired brain injuries (ABI) from stroke, head injury, or resected tumours are associated with poor emotional wellbeing and heightened risk of mood disorder. Common sequalae ABI, such as attention memory, can create barriers to the efficacy cognitively demanding interventions, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Activation (BA), where individuals plan engage in reinforcing activities, is a promising alternative due lower cognitive demands. However, BA was initially...

Purpose To identify which acute and 6-month domain-specific cognitive impairments impact mood, participation, stroke-related quality of life 6 months post-stroke.

Following stroke, fatigue is highly prevalent and managing consistently rated a key unmet need by stroke survivors professionals. Domain-specific cognitive impairments have been associated with greater severity in earlier stages of recovery, but it unclear whether these associations hold chronic (>2 years) stroke. The present cross-sectional observational study evaluates the relationship between domain-specific functioning self-reported among survivors. Participants (N = 105; mean age 72.92,...

Objective: Depression and anxiety affects approximately 1 in 3 stroke survivors. Performance on standardized objective cognitive tests self-reported subjective symptoms are associated with concurrent depression anxiety, but longitudinal data whether how cognition relate to emotional outcomes lacking. Method: N = 99 survivors (M age 68.9, SD 13.1; Median NIH Stroke Severity 5) completed measures of (Hospital Anxiety Scale; HADS), (Oxford Cognitive Screen) (Cognitive Failures Questionnaire) at...

Infants demonstrate an attentional bias towards fearful facial expressions that emerges in the first year of life. The current study investigated whether this is influenced by experience with particular face types. Six-month-old (n=33) and 9-month-old (n=31) Caucasian infants' spontaneous preference for when expressed own-race (Caucasian) or other-race (East Asian) faces was examined. infants showed a faces, but not faces. Nine-month-old both These results suggest how deploy their attention...

Acquired brain injury (ABI) affects approximately 79.3 million individuals annually and is linked with elevated rates of depression low mood. Existing methods for treating in ABI have shown mixed efficacy. Behavioural activation (BA) a potentially promising intervention. Its premise that mood avoid planning engaging activities due to expectations positive outcome. Consequently, their exposure reinforcement reduced, exacerbating BA aims break this cycle by encouraging activity engagement. It...
