Hopelessness Is Associated With Decreased Heart Rate Variability During Championship Chess Games
OBJECTIVE: Clinical observations suggest that negative affects such as helplessness/hopelessness (HE/HO) may induce autonomic duration; affects were assessed for every move after reconstruction of the games. In all games compiled, 18 situation of intense confidence/optimism and 20 of intense helplessness/hopelessness were observed. RESULTS: Intense affects of HE/HO were associated with decreasing HF-HRV (Fisher exact test, p =.003), increasing "n…

Similarities and Differences of Childhood Experiences and Adult Behavior in Women With Psychogenic Pain and Major Depression
Clinical Speculation
Do men with thrombangiitis obliterans (TO) show conspicuous personality features and behavior? Twenty-one men with TO were compared with 20 men with coronary artery disease (CAD). All diagnoses were angiographically confirmed. Mean ages were 40.1 (TO) and 43.4 years (CAD). Semistructured, open-ended interviews were conducted. Interview-behavior: TOs were more hostile, minimizing, evasive, and complicated than CADs (p < .001). The interviewer reac…
Engelʼs “Psychogenic Pain and the Pain-Prone Patient
Engel's hypothesis of pain-prone patients having a distinct pattern of developmental psychosocial experiences was tested in a controlled design including four groups of 20 patients each: A) psychogenic pain, B) organic pain, C) psychogenic bodily symptoms, and D) organic disease. On admission an open-ended interview, including childhood experiences, was tape-recorded. Measures were taken to minimize observer bias. Patients in group A had, compare…
Pressured Pattern or Type A Behavior in Patients with Peripheral Arteriovascular Disease
The question as to whether a specific behavior or type A pattern is limited to patients with coronary artery disease, or is found in atherosclerotic disease, in general, is explored. The interrelationship between a pattern of "pressured" behavior, assessed by open ended interviews, type A behavior, determined by the Bortner test, and peripheral atherosclerotic disease was investigated in a controlled retrospective study which compared three group…
Stage Fright in Musicians
Stage fright was used to investigate the mode of action of beta blockers in acute anxiety and on the technical-motor performance of 22 performing string players. They received 100 mg of atenolol or placebo 6.5 hr before performing either in the presence or absence of an audience. Continuous heart rate, stage fright (especially devised rating scale), technical-motor performance (runs of fast notes, trills, vibratos), and urine catecholamine levels…
Psychologic Processes and Ischemic Stroke (Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease)
A retrospective anamnestic study of 32 men experiencing a total of 35 ischemic strokes revealed that the stroke typically occurred during a period of sustained or intermittent and often severe emotional disturbance which had been going on for weeks or months and which sometimes had become intensified shortly before the stroke occurred. Certain personality features were commonly represented, including a behavioral pattern, designated pressured, to…
