Participants (N=381) completed a series questionnaires, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-Q-IV; Newman et al., 2002, Behavior Therapy, 33, 215-233), State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-2; Spielberger 1999, Inventory-2: STAXI-2 professional manual, Odessa, FL:...

Previous research has shown that individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) report elevated anger compared nonanxious individuals; however, the pathways linking GAD and are currently unknown. We hypothesized negative beliefs about uncertainty, worry perfectionism dimensions mediate relationship between symptoms variables. employed multiple mediation bootstrapping on cross-sectional data from a student sample (N = 233) to test four models assessing potential mediators of association...
Bulimic, impulsive and depressive syndromes have all been associated with abnormalities in brain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) mechanisms.We had 26 bulimic women 22 normal-eater report impulsive, affective, self-destructive symptoms, then provide serial blood samples for measurement of: [3H]-paroxetine binding platelets; and, prolactin (PRL) responses following oral meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (m-CPP).Bulimic status was markedly reduced density of paroxetine-binding sites, modest...
Bulimia nervosa (BN) is reported to co-occur with childhood abuse and alterations in central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) cortisol mechanisms. However, findings also link anomalous 5-HT function, this motivated us explore relationships between neurobiological variations BN.Thirty-five bulimic 25 nonbulimic women were assessed for physical sexual abuse, eating symptoms, comorbid psychopathological tendencies. These provided blood samples measurement of platelet hydrogen-3-paroxetine...
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...

This study examined degree which intolerance emotional states and uncertainty account for association between urgency symptoms.An analysis indirect effects evaluated whether emotions uniquely symptom severity.Undergraduate students (N = 308) completed measures symptoms, trait anxiety, distress tolerance, uncertainty.Greater GAD, states, were urgency....
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...
