The role of prior beliefs in causal illusions
When people are shown a series of trials on which a cue and outcome are objectively unrelated (a null contingency), they often judge the causal strength of the cue to be positive, a phenomenon referred to as a causal illusion. This task has been taken as a laboratory model of the development of false causal beliefs. However, in three experiments, we found that participants reliably provided a positive causal rating for the cue prior to any trials…
Breakfast or bakery? The role of categorical ambiguity in overgeneralization of learned fear in trait anxiety
Pavlovian conditioning studies have shown that humans can generalize conditioned fear to novel stimuli that are categorically related to the threat cue, despite perceptual dissimilarities. The current work examined the role of trait anxiety in the generalization of fear to categorically related objects. Items from 1 category, breakfast or bakery, were paired with shock whereas items from the other category were not. Participants were then tested …
Self-efficacy moderates the relationship between avoidance intentions and anxiety
Future-directed intentions elicit emotional changes that may affect behavioral performance. We have previously shown that avoidance intentions can elicit a reduction in anxiety (Ng & Lovibond, 2017). In the present experiment, we manipulated within-participant self-efficacy for an avoidance behavior to determine whether self-efficacy moderates the relationship between avoidance intentions and anxiety. Anxiety was indexed through skin conductance …
Psychometric Properties of an Arabic Version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (Dass)
Objective: To translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of an Arabic-language version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS). Method: The items were translated, back translated, refined, and tested in an Australian immigrant sample ( N = 220). Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Arabic DASS discriminates between depression, anxiety, and stress but to a lesser degree than the English DASS. The factor loadings for…
How food cues can enhance and inhibit motivation to obtain and consume food
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales
Percentile Norms and Accompanying Interval Estimates from an Australian General Adult Population Sample for Self‐Report Mood Scales (BAI, BDI, CRSD, CES‐D, Dass, Dass‐21, STAI‐X, STAI‐Y, SRDS, and SRA…
Despite their widespread use, many self‐report mood scales have very limited normative data. To rectify this, Crawford et al. have recently provided percentile norms for a series of self‐report scales. The present study aimed to extend the work of Crawford et al. by providing percentile norms for additional mood scales based on samples drawn from the general Australian adult population. Participants completed a series of self‐report mood scales. …
The propositional nature of human associative learning
The past 50 years have seen an accumulation of evidence suggesting that associative learning depends on high-level cognitive processes that give rise to propositional knowledge. Yet, many learning theorists maintain a belief in a learning mechanism in which links between mental representations are formed automatically. We characterize and highlight the differences between the propositional and link approaches, and review the relevant empirical ev…
