Background Behavioral addiction research has been particularly flourishing over the last two decades. However, recent publications have suggested that nearly all daily life activities might lead to a genuine addiction. Methods and aim In this article, we discuss how use of atheoretical confirmatory approaches may result in identification an unlimited list “new” behavioral addictions. Results Both methodological theoretical shortcomings these studies were discussed. Conclusions We...
The International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) Bronchial Symptoms Questionnaire (1984) was developed for use in studies of asthma its reliability measured an earlier survey England. association the symptoms elicited by this questionnaire to bronchial response histamine has also been described. This paper presents results four clinical centres Europe. ability predict were compared English, Finnish, French German translations samples diagnosed asthmatics controls...
Passive social media use (PSMU)-for example, scrolling through news feeds-has been associated with depression symptoms. It is unclear, however, if PSMU causes symptoms or vice versa. In this study, 125 students reported PSMU, symptoms, and stress 7 times daily for 14 days. We used multilevel vector autoregressive time-series models to estimate (a) contemporaneous, (b) temporal, (c) between-subjects associations among these variables. More time spent on was higher levels of interest loss,...
Background: The network approach to mental disorders offers a novel framework for conceptualizing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as causal system of interacting symptoms. Objective: In this study, we extended work by estimating the structure relations among PTSD symptoms in adults reporting personal histories childhood sexual abuse (CSA; N = 179). Method: We employed two complementary methods. First, using graphical LASSO, computed sparse, regularized partial correlation revealing...
The notion of climate change anxiety has gained traction in the last years. Clayton & Karazsia (2020) recently developed 22-item Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CAS), which assesses via a four-factor structure. Yet other research cast doubts on very structure CAS by calling either for shorter (i.e. 13 items) two-factor or single-factor items). So far, these three different models have not yet been compared one study. Moreover, uncertainty remains regarding associations between and...
Recently, researchers have investigated the causal nature of attentional bias for threat (AB) in maintenance anxiety disorders by experimentally manipulating it. They found that training anxious individuals to attend non-threat stimuli reduces AB, which, turn, anxiety. This effect supports hypothesis AB can causally impact At a fundamental level, however, uncertainty still abounds regarding processes mediate this effect. In present paper, we propose two contrasting approaches may be derived...
Rumination is a common and problematic feature of depression related disorders. It may reflect impairments in executive control. In this project, we used network analysis to explore the conceptualization rumination terms impoverished top-down A total 91 participants completed laboratory tasks control, underwent stressor, reported on their level rumination. We computed regularized partial correlation network, relative importance directed acyclic graph estimate functional relations among...
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...
Background and objectives: For decades, the dominant paradigm in trait anxiety research has regarded construct as signifying underlying cause of thoughts, feelings, behaviors that supposedly reflect its presence. Recently, a network theory personality appeared. According to this perspective, is formative emerging from interactions among constitutive features (e.g., thought, behaviors); it not latent these features.Design: In study, we characterized system interacting elements.Methods: To do...
