Objective: Network analysis allows us to identify the most interconnected (i.e., central) symptoms, and multiple authors have suggested that these symptoms might be important treatment targets.This is because change in central (relative others) should greater impact on all other symptoms.It has been argued networks derived from cross-sectional data may help such symptoms.We tested this hypothesis social anxiety disorder.Method: We first estimated a state-of-the-art regularized partial...
Diminished social motivation constitutes one of the core impairments Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and is thought to have a strong impact on way individuals with autism respond presence others.In this study, we hypothesized that experimental contexts involving direct interaction an experimenter might elicit different reactions in ASD thus act as potential confound interpretation group differences during cognitive tests.Following classic work psychology 'audience effect' -wherein differently...
Although the extant literature on face recognition skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) shows clear impairments compared to typically developing controls (TDC) at group level, distribution of scores within ASD is broad. In present research, we take a dimensional approach and explore how differences social attention during an eye tracking experiment correlate with across TDC. Emotional discrimination person identity perception processing were assessed using Let's Face It! Skills Battery...
Social anxiety disorder is known to be associated with self-report of global friendship quality. However, information about specific friendships, as well beyond self-report, lacking. Such crucial, because biases in processing related social render self-ratings particularly difficult interpret. We examined these issues focusing on diagnosed participants (n = 77) compared community control 63). regarding (i.e., overall) quality and a friendship's quality; addition, we friend-report that...
Recently, there has been a growing emphasis on embedding open and reproducible approaches into research.One essential step in accomplishing this larger goal is to embed such practices undergraduate postgraduate research training.However, often requires substantial time resources implement.Also, while many pedagogical are regularly developed for purpose, they not openly actively shared with the wider community.The creation public sharing of educational useful educators who wish scholarship...
Scientific theories reflect some of humanity's greatest epistemic achievements. The best motivate us to search for discoveries, guide towards successful interventions, and help explain organize knowledge. Such require a high degree specificity, which in turn requires formal modeling. Yet, psychological science, many are not precise scientists often lack the technical skills formally specify existing theories. This problem raises question: How can we promote theory development psychology,...
Anxiety among academic faculty remains a critical yet understudied public health concern because of comorbidity with depression and other mental disorders. Here, we present the largest study to date examining anxiety, analyzing data from 2,106 professors across 62 U.S. higher education institutions using Generalized Disorder (GAD-7) assessment. This comprehensive dataset revealed previously unknown patterns in how familial relationships lineage influence anxiety. Our analysis uncovered clear...

Of critical importance this transformation is availability of tools objectively quantify behaviors dimensionally. The present study focuses on social motivation, dimension behavior that central range psychiatric conditions but which particularly small number assays currently exist.In Study 1 (N = 48), healthy adults completed monetary reward task and task, followed by completion...

Internalized or self-stigma can be damaging to psychological and social functioning recovery, especially for people with serious mental illness. Most studies have focused on the effects of high self-stigma, which has included both moderate versus low levels no, minimal, mild self-stigma.
