  • Defensiveness and Individual Response Stereotypy in Asthma

    Jonathan M Feldman, Paul M Lehrer et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2002

    OBJECTIVE: Previous literature has shown that the psychological trait of defensiveness is related to elevated sympathetic reactivity to stress and to several cardiac risk factors. The aim of this study was to examine whether these previous findings on defensiveness extend to an asthmatic population. METHODS: Defensiveness was measured by the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale using a quartile split: high (upper 25%) and low (bottom 75%). Tw…

  • Behavioral Task-Induced Bronchodilation in Asthma During Active and Passive Tasks

    Paul M Lehrer, Stuart M Hochron et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1996

    This study investigated pulmonary and autonomic reactions to active and passive behavioral laboratory tasks among asthmatic subjects. It also examined the relationship between airway irritability, as measured by the methacholine challenge test (MCT), and autonomic activity and reactivity to these tasks. Fifty-one asthmatic and 37 nonasthmatic subjects were exposed to psychological laboratory tasks involving either active (mental arithmetic and re…

  • The effects of suggestion and emotional arousal on pulmonary function in asthma

    S A Isenberg, Susan Isenberg et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1992

    This paper reviews the empirical literature on the relation between asthma, suggestion, and emotion, and proposes the hypothesis that these effects are mediated parasympathetically. The literature indicates that, among asthmatics, suggestion can produce both bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation, and that stress can produce bronchoconstriction. The proportion of asthmatic subjects showing bronchoconstriction to both suggestion and stress averag…

  • Hypnotic Susceptibility and its Relationship to Outcome in the Behavioral Treatment of Asthma

    Open AccessAnnemarie Infantino, Paul M Lehrer et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1989

    12 subjects from an experiment on relaxation therapy for asthma were given the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A. Full scale hypnotic susceptibility scores were positively correlated, at a borderline significance, with improvement in the methacholine challenge test, a measure of asthma severity. Performance on the amnesia item of the Harvard Group Scale was correlated with improvement in self-reported symptoms of asthma
