  • Emotion dysregulation in the experience of pain among persons living with HIV/Aids

    Andrew H Rogers, Jafar Bakhshaie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) report disproportionally high rates of pain. Pain among PLWHA has been associated with poor medication adherence and anxiety and depressive symptoms. This relationship may be primarily driven by elevated negative affect, and one factor that may be important to understanding elevated negative affect is emotion dysregulation. Therefore, the current study sought to examine emotion dysregulation (Difficulties …

  • The co‐occurrence and correlates of anxiety disorders among adolescents with intermittent explosive disorder

    Open AccessTodd Galbraith, Hannah Carliner et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2018References: 53

    We examined the lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders (ADs) among adolescents with lifetime intermittent explosive disorder (IED), as well as the impact of co-occurring ADs on anger attack frequency and persistence, additional comorbidity, impairment, and treatment utilization among adolescents with IED. IED was defined by the occurrence of at least three anger attacks that were disproportionate to the provocation within a single year. Data we…

    Research on social anxiety and social anxiety disorder has proliferated over the years since the explication of the disorder through cognitive-behavioral models. This review highlights a recently updated model from our group and details recent research stemming from the (a) information processing perspective, including attention bias, interpretation bias, implicit associations, imagery and visual memories, and (b) emotion regulation perspective, …

  • The specific importance of communicating about sex to couples' sexual and overall relationship satisfaction

    Open AccessJennifer L Montesi, Robert L Fauber et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2011Cited by: 39References: 24

    This study examined the impact of general and sexual communication on couples' overall and sexual satisfaction. Data were collected from 116 heterosexual, monogamous couples in relationships of at least three months' duration. Open sexual communication accounted for unique variance in both sexual and overall relationship satisfaction; general communication effectiveness did so only for overall satisfaction. The relationship between open sexual co…

  • Development and Examination of the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale

    Open AccessTrevor A Hart, Trevor Hart et al.ARTICLEAssessment2008

    The Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) was created to measure anxiety about being negatively evaluated by others because of one's overall appearance, including body shape. This study examined the psychometric properties of the SAAS in three large samples of undergraduate students (respective n s = 512, 853, and 541). The SAAS demonstrated a unifactorial structure with high test-retest reliability and internal consistency. The SAAS was positiv…

  • Robust dimensions of anxiety sensitivity

    Steven Taylor, M J Zvolensky et al.ARTICLEPsychological Assessment2007

    Accumulating evidence suggests that anxiety sensitivity (fear of arousal-related sensations) plays an important role in many clinical conditions, particularly anxiety disorders. Research has increasingly focused on how the basic dimensions of anxiety sensitivity are related to various forms of psychopathology. Such work has been hampered because the original measure--the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI)--was not designed to be multidimensional. Su…

  • The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

    Open AccessDavid M Fresco, Meredith E Coles et al.ARTICLEPsychological Medicine2001

    Background. The clinician-administered version of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS-CA) is a commonly used assessment device for the evaluation of social anxiety disorder and has been shown to have strong psychometric characteristics. Because of its apparently straightforward rating format and potential savings in time and effort, interest in the use of the LSAS as a self-report (LSAS-SR) measure has increased, and the LSAS-SR has been use…

  • Attachment in individuals with social anxiety disorder

    Winnie Eng, Richard G Heimberg et al.ARTICLEEmotion2001

    Despite their apparent implications for social functioning, adult attachment styles have never been specifically explored among persons with social anxiety disorder. In the current study, a cluster analysis of the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (N. L. Collins, 1996) revealed that 118 patients with social anxiety were best represented by anxious and secure attachment style clusters. Members of the anxious attachment cluster exhibited more severe s…

  • Depression, hopelessness, suicidality, and related factors in sexual minority and heterosexual adolescents.

    Steven A Safren, Richard G HeimbergARTICLEJournal of Consulting and…1999

    In the present study, the researchers examined factors related to depression, hopelessness, and suicidality in gay, lesbian, and bisexual adolescents, compared with demographically similar heterosexual adolescents. Sexual minority adolescents reported greater depression, hopelessness, and past and present suicidality than did heterosexual adolescents. However, when controlling for other psychosocial predictors of present distress, significant dif…

  • Psychometric properties of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

    Open AccessRichard G Heimberg, Kelly J Horner et al.ARTICLEPsychological Medicine1999

    Background. The present study provides data on the reliability, validity and treatment sensitivity of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), one of the most commonly used clinician-administered scales for the assessment of social phobia. Method. Three hundred and eighty-two patients from several studies of the treatment of social phobia were evaluated. An independent assessor administered the LSAS to each patient prior to the initiation of tr…

  • Shyness and Sociotropy

    Open AccessMonroe A Bruch, Kathy M Rivet et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1999

    Sociotropy (an aspect of interpersonal dependence) and sociability (affiliative need) were examined as moderator variables of the relationship between shyness and interpersonal concerns in two studies. In Study 1, sociotropy, but not sociability, predicted unique variance in three indices of interpersonal concerns through both direct and interactive relations with shyness. An initial analysis in Study 2 showed that sociotropy, but not sociability…

  • Shyness and PublicSelf‐Consciousness

    Open AccessMonroe A Bruch, Ronald J Hamer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1995

    Shy people are characterized as engaging in self‐derogatory thinking leading to anxiousness and inhibition, while people who are publicly self‐conscious are focused on the impression they create on others. In addition, public self‐consciousness has been described as an antecedent of shyness. In the present research, we tested additive versus interactive hypotheses about the association of shyness and public self‐consciousness with dysfunctional s…
