The COVID-19 pandemic does not fit into prevailing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) models, or diagnostic criteria, yet emerging research shows traumatic stress symptoms as a result of this ongoing global stressor. Current pathogenic event models focus on past, and largely direct, trauma exposure to certain kinds life-threatening events. Yet, reactions future, indirect exposure, non-Criterion A events exist, suggesting is also stressor which could lead PTSD symptomology. To examine...
Trigger warnings are messages alerting people to content containing themes that could cause distressing emotional reactions. Advocates claim allow prepare themselves and subsequently reduce negative reactions toward content, while critics insist may increase interpretations. Here, we investigated (a) the impact of viewing a warning message, (b) if message would or decrease participants' evaluations set ambiguous photos, (c) how participants evaluated overall study participation. We...
We investigated whether boundary restriction—misremembering proximity to traumatic stimuli—is a form of memory amplification and reexperiencing trauma plays role in restriction errors. In four experiments, subjects viewed series photographs. Later, identified the photographs they originally saw among distracters that could be identical, close-up, or wide-angled versions same Subjects also completed measures mood, analogue PTSD symptoms, phenomenological experience intrusions, processing...
Abstract Implicit (i.e. unconscious) racial biases held by health professionals negatively affect patient–practitioner communication and outcomes. are typically assessed through implicit association tests (IATs). We extracted cross‐sectional IAT data originating in Australia from two large publicly available sets hosted Project . In total, IATs were 1956 healthcare workers (1249 of European ethnicity; 829 professionals/technicians as opposed to support workers). All had participated between...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic does not fit into prevailing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) models, or diagnostic criteria, yet emerging research shows traumatic stress symptoms as a result of this ongoing global stressor. Current pathogenic event models focus on past, and largely direct, trauma exposure to certain kinds life-threatening events. Nevertheless, among sample online participants ( N = 1,040) in five western countries, we found had PTSD-like for events that happened when...
People's memory for scenes has consequences, including eyewitness testimony. Negative may lead to a particular error, where narrowed scene boundaries people recall being closer than they were. But boundary restriction—including attenuation of the opposite phenomenon extension—has been difficult replicate, perhaps because heightened arousal accompanying negative scenes, rather valence itself, drives effect. Indeed, in Green et al. (2019) alone, conditioned neutral image category, increased...
