We developed the Social Anxiety‐Awareness and Acceptance Scale (SA‐AAS) to measure awareness and acceptance in anxiety‐provoking social situations and examined the relationship between awareness, acceptance, and SAD symptoms. Patients ( N = 412) with SAD completed the SA‐AAS and a set of questionnaires that evaluated trait mindfulness, self‐fo…

Furthermore, previous studies have shown that food and drinks containing supplements improve various health conditions. We investigated the effect of a brief self-help ICBT administ…
The effect for Japanese workers of a self-help computerized cognitive behaviour therapy program with a supplement soft drink

Previous studies have shown that CCBT has moderate effects on depression, insomnia, and anxiety. The present study investigated whether a supplement drink that includes L-carnosine enhances the effect of CCBT on psychological well-being. METHODS: Eighty-seven participants were randomly allocated …
Effect of prolonged stress on the adrenal hormones of individuals with irritable bowel syndrome

METHODS: The participants were female college students, including 10 with IBS and 16 without IBS (control group), who were scheduled for a 2-week teaching practice at a kindergarten.
