Expressive suppression strengthens coherence between arousal intensity and arousal interpretation
Interpretations of physiological arousal may be a key pathway connecting stress‐related physiological arousal intensity to physiological and affective consequences of stress. Expressive suppression is linked to increased perceptions of stressors as threatening, which may exacerbate associations between physiological arousal intensity and interpretations of physiological arousal as debilitative. However, the effect of expressive suppression on the…
Examining When Imaginative Involvement Relates to Worry and Generalized Anxiety: Moderating Effect of Negative Affect
Despite theoretical connections between imagery and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), particularly worry, research, to date, has not supported a bivariate association between imaginative involvement and GAD/worry. This study extended existing research focused on a bivariate association by examining the moderating effect of negative affect and positive affect. This study includes a sample of U.S.-residing adults (N = 250) and a replication sampl…
Detecting and classifying eco-anxiety: Development of clinical cut-off scores for the climate change anxiety scale
The proposed cut-offs can feasibly be used to identify those with elevated climate change anxiety. Use of these cut-off scores can inform research as well as be used to guide screening, assessment, and inform clinical practice. Results also highlight a high rate of climate change anxiety in young adults
Examining the associations between physical activity, self‐esteem, perceived stress, and internalizing symptoms among older adolescents
INTRODUCTION: In older adolescence, stress has been found to be prevalent. It has been seen that higher physical activity (PA) relates to lower stress levels, which, in turn, relates to fewer anxiety and depressive symptoms (internalizing symptoms). However, how these associations function is not fully understood. PA is strongly associated with greater self-esteem in adolescents. As greater self-esteem is thought to aid better coping with stress …
Colorblind on the color line: Critical Ethnography of Racial Inequity in a Human Service Organization Serving a Community of Single-Mother Families at the Margins
This study takes an in-depth critical ethnographic look at a local nonprofit human service organization, Lavender Refuge, that supports marginalized families. This study explored the communication of staff/volunteers and residential clients that facilitate or inhibit the nonprofit’s aims to create an inclusive community culture. Critical race theory and social identity theory were utilized as theoretical frameworks to better understand the cultur…
Effects of arousal reappraisal on the anxiety responses to stress: Breaking the cycle of negative arousal intensity and arousal interpretation
Arousal reappraisal has been shown to be an effective strategy during stress to improve anxiety. However, the exact psychological mechanism through which arousal reappraisal improves anxiety is unknown. In a large, cross‐sectional study (Study 1, N = 455) participants engaged in an acute psychological stress task and rated their levels of physiological arousal, cognitive anxiety, and somatic anxiety, and whether they perceived this physiological …
Heart Rate Reactivity to Acute Psychological Stress Predicts Higher Levels of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms During the Covid-19 Pandemic
OBJECTIVE: Increased autonomic arousal is a proposed risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Few studies have prospectively examined the association between physiological responses to acute psychological stress before a traumatic event and later PTSD symptoms. The present prospective study examined whether cardiovascular responses to an acute psychological stress task before the COVID-19 global pandemic predicted PTSD symptoms relat…
Association Between Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics and Non-fatal Alcohol-Related Injury in Maringá, Brazil
Background: Previous research has corroborated a high burden of alcohol-related injury in Brazil and the presence of socioeconomic disparities among the injured. Yet individual-level data is scarce. To fill this gap, we examined the association between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics with non-fatal alcohol-related injury in Maringá, Brazil. Methods: We used household survey data collected during a 2015 cross-sectional study. We cond…

Changes in sleep quality and levels of psychological distress during the adaptation to university: The role of childhood adversity
Stress‐related sleep disturbances are common, and poor sleep quality can negatively affect health. Previous work indicates that early‐life adversity is associated with compromised sleep quality later in life, but it is unknown whether it predicts greater declines in sleep quality during stressful life transitions. We propose and test a conceptual model whereby individuals who reported experiencing greater levels of child maltreatment would experi…
Exploring relationships over time between psychological distress, perceived stress, life events and immature defense style on disordered eating pathology
Psychological distress, and to a lesser degree perceived stress had the strongest association with eating disorder symptoms over time The findings support further investigation of interventions to reduce distress and perceived stress in adult females with disordered eating
