Results Both methodological theoretical shortcomings these studies were discussed. Conclusions We...
Dysfunctional use of the mobile phone has often been conceptualized as a ‘behavioural addiction’ that shares most features with drug addictions. In current article, we challenge clinical utility addiction model applied to overuse. We describe case woman who overuses her from two distinct approaches: (1) symptom‐based categorical approach inspired dysfunctional and (2) process‐based resulting an idiosyncratic conceptualization. depicted here, was shown lead standardized non‐relevant...
Since mid-March 2020, over 3 billion people have been confined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Problematic eating behaviors are likely to be impacted by pandemic through multiple pathways. This study examined relationships between stress related lockdown measures and binge dietary restriction in population French students during first week confinement.

Background and aims Binge-watching (i.e., seeing multiple episodes of the same TV series in a row) now constitutes widespread phenomenon. However, little is known about psychological factors underlying this behavior, as reflected by paucity available studies, most merely focusing on its potential harmfulness applying classic criteria used for other addictive disorders without exploring uniqueness binge-watching. This study thus aimed to take opposite approach first step toward genuine...
Cognitive models posit that social anxiety disorder (SAD) is associated with and maintained by attentional bias (AB) for threat. However, over the last years, it has been suggested AB in SAD may result from a decreased activation of left prefrontal cortex, particularly its dorsolateral part (dlPFC). Accordingly, transient increase neural activity within dlPFC via non-invasive brain stimulation decreases non-anxious control participants. Yet, none these studies focused on SAD. This especially...
