  • Influence of anxious attachment on the relationship between primary emotions and substance-related addictive behaviors

    Open AccessJürgen Fuchshuber, Deborah Andres et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Objectives To date there is no universally accepted model that describes the development of substance related addictive behavior. In order to address this gap, the study sought to examine whether the association between primary emotions and the inclination toward addictive behavior is mediated by an anxious attachment style. Methods The total sample consisted of 900 German speaking non-clinical adults (age: M = 27; SD = 9.60; 71.6% female). Struc…

  • Psychophysiological stress response after a 6-week Mindful Self-Compassion training in psychiatric rehabilitation inpatients

    Open AccessAndrea Andorfer, Sabina Kraler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    In general, our results indicate that MSC is not superior to PMR training. However, more research with clinical randomized controlled trials investigating larger samples are needed to further affirm these initial findings

  • Disentangling the Causal Structure Between Social Trust, Institutional Trust, and Subjective Well-Being

    Open AccessChristoph Glatz, Andreas R Schwerdtfeger et al.ARTICLESocial Indicators Research2022Cited by: 5References: 50

    Previous research indicates a positive relation between social trust, institutional trust and subjective well-being. Besides theoretical assumptions and cross-sectional relations, only few studies so far examined the causal structure between these concepts. However, previous studies showed contradictory results, possibly due to different methods and datasets used. Hence, we analyzed the causal structure between the three concepts on the aggregate…

  • Tears evoke the intention to offer social support

    Open AccessJanis H Zickfeld, Niels Van De Ven et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental Social…2021Cited by: 3References: 70

    Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project …

    Open AccessClaudia Traunmüller, René Stefitz et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This study is among the first in Europe on the psychological correlates of the COVID-19 pandemic. 37.7% of the Austrian study population reported a severe psychological impact on the event and 1 in 10 is considered to suffer from severe depression, anxiety or stress. The present findings inform about the identification of protective factors, psychologically vulnerable groups and may guide the development of psychological interventions

  • Comparing indirect methods of digit ratio (2D

    Open AccessChristoph J Kemper, Andreas R Schwerdtfeger et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2009

    The ratio of the lengths of the second and fourth finger (2D:4D) has been proposed to index prenatal exposure to androgens. Different methods have been utilized to measure digit ratio, however, their measurement precision and economy have not been systematically compared yet. Using different indirect methods (plastic ruler, caliper, computer software), three independent raters measured finger lengths of 60 participants. Generally, measurement pre…

  • Spontaneous emotion regulation during evaluated speaking tasks

    Boris Egloff, Stefan C Schmukle et al.ARTICLEEmotion2006

    In these studies, the correlates of spontaneously using expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal during stressful speeches were examined. Spontaneous emotion regulation means that there were no instructions of how to regulate emotions during the speech. Instead, participants indicated after the speech to what extent they used self-motivated expressive suppression or reappraisal during the task. The results show that suppression is associa…
