Cognitive biases in individuals with chronic pain: Interpretation, recall and recognition of pain/illness-related information
Chronic Pain (CP) significantly impairs quality of life, making it critical to understand the psychological factors that contribute to its onset and persistence. This study investigated interpretation biases (IB) and memory biases (MB) in 153 individuals (CP = 77; non-pain controls = 76). Participants completed tasks assessing IB using ambiguous scenarios, and MB via surprise short-term recall and delayed recognition (after one month) of pain/ill…
The Development and Validation of the Adolescent Self-Criticism Scale (ASCS)
Associations between self-compassion and interpersonal behaviours among adolescents during Covid-19: Examining the role of gender
The development and validation of the child self-criticism scale (CSCS)
Social and competitive environmental pressures, combined with changes in self-identity, make self-criticism especially problematic in the identity-forming phase of childhood. Yet, no robust measure of self-criticism exists for use with child populations. Here, via two studies, we present the development of the first psychometrically robust measure of self-criticism for children aged seven to 11 years: the Child Self-Criticism Scale (CSCS). In stu…
Wellbeing and burnout in schoolteachers: The psychophysiological case for self-compassion
Schoolteachers are a profession at high risk for workplace burnout. The Jobs Demands-Resource model is useful in understanding burnout in this population. However, a better understanding of what psychological and physiological factors serve as demands and resources, and how these might interact to predict burnout is needed. In this study, we obtained cardiac activity (Heart Rate Variability) over a working day, as well as self-reported stress and…
Exploring the role of compassion, self-criticism and the dark triad on obesity and emotion regulation
Emotion regulation and/or obesity have been linked to compassion, self-criticism and ‘dark’ personality traits but the relationship between these factors is unclear as most research has focused on the big five personality traits. Here, we investigated the influence of dark personality traits on emotional dysregulation, compassion and BMI. 300 participants completed measures of emotion dysregulation, compassion, self-criticism and dark tetrad pers…
Development of a Set of Image Stimuli for Attentional Bias Research in Adults with Food Neophobia
Can compassion, happiness and sympathetic concern be differentiated on the basis of facial expression
Recent research has demonstrated the importance of positive emotions, and especially compassion, for well-being. Via two investigations, we set out to determine if facial expressions of happiness, "kind" compassion and sympathetic concern can be distinguished, given limitations of previous research. In investigation one, prototypes of the three expressions were analysed for similarities and differences using the facial action coding system (FACS)…
Hemodynamic responses to active and passive coping tasks and the prediction of future blood pressure in T hai participants: A preliminary prospective cohort study
Cardiovascular responses to mental stress tests have been related to future blood pressure ( BP ) levels. However, most studies have been completed in N orth A merica and E urope; only one study has been conducted in A sia. Therefore, the study explored whether cardiovascular responses to mental stress predict future resting BP in T hailand. Hemodynamic measures were obtained from 101 healthy adults before, during and after mental arithmetic, a s…
Attentional biases towards familiar and unfamiliar foods in children. The role of food neophobia
Temporal processing of emotional stimuli: The capture and release of attention by angry faces
Neuroimaging data suggest that emotional information, especially threatening faces, automatically captures attention and receives rapid processing. While this is consistent with the majority of behavioral data, behavioral studies of the attentional blink (AB) additionally reveal that aversive emotional first target (T1) stimuli are associated with prolonged attentional engagement or "dwell" time. One explanation for this difference is that few AB…
