TL;DR: While trait anxiety and music performance anxiety were closely associated, occupational stress makes a separate contribution to the quality of working life experienced by elite choral artists.

TL;DR: The validity of the FNEB was demonstrated through significant correlations with social avoidance and depression, and non-significant correlations with agoraphobic avoidance and demographic variables, and the scale obtained excellent inter-item reliability and 2-week test-retest reliability.

TL;DR: Those with the most severe social interaction anxiety and who spent the most time interacting on the internet endorsed positive effects of internet use, however, a significant number of negative effects also were endorsed.

TL;DR: Findings provide support for Zvolensky et al.'s theoretical conceptualization and suggest a specific link between smoking and panic disorder and suggest differences in anxiety sensitivity between smokers and nonsmokers approached significance.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that patients reporting high trait anxiety or NA may suffer from a chronic course of disorder and higher levels of comorbidity over the longer term.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of CBT interventions on patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) on their sleep quality and found that CBT can have a significant impact on sleep quality even if sleep disturbances were not specifically addressed during treatment.

TL;DR: A significant, positive correlation was found between the SAS-A and SPAI-C, showing that these measures assess related, but relatively independent constructs of social anxiety and phobia.

TL;DR: Social facilitation expectancies appear to operate as a suppressor variable in the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol use, and are related to decreased drinking.

TL;DR: The re-experiencing and hyper-arousal PTSD symptom dimensions showed the strongest and most consistent correlations with the alcohol use indices, and were positively correlated with coping-motivated drinking and with alcohol use to forget.

TL;DR: It was found that the TQ-R Total score was meaningfully related to depressive symptoms, anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, and loneliness and being teased in the Performance and Social domains as a child was moderately related to current psychopathology.

TL;DR: Results suggest the occurrence of "pre"traumatic stress can occur before an event that is perceived as threatening or feared, and a threatening forthcoming event provoking symptoms similar to those after a traumatic event.

TL;DR: The MCQ-A was used by as mentioned in this paper to examine the prevalence and emotional correlates of meta-cognition in adolescents and found that adolescents report a range of types and levels of metacognitive beliefs and these are positively associated with emotional symptoms.

TL;DR: Preliminary support is provided for the utility of a brief intervention for preadolescent children with social phobia, with results stronger for parent report and interviewer ratings than for child self-report.

TL;DR: Investigating the relative contributions of state anxiety, trait anxiety, depression, state anger, and trait anger to acute pain in an elderly, postsurgical population indicated that the only significant predictor of pain in this population was state anxiety.

TL;DR: Investigation of the extent to which pre-experimental levels of avoidance-oriented coping predict anxious and fearful responding during acute physical stress found them to be correlated with prototypical indices of panic distress, with implications for forwarding future work on emotional regulation in panic disorder.

TL;DR: The Liebowitz Self-Rated Disability Scale, the clinician-rated Disability Profile, and the Sheehan Disability Scale appear to be valid tools in the study of disability in social anxiety disorder, although the LSRDS and the DP seem to be somewhat more sensitive to the experiences of socially anxious patients.

TL;DR: A strong link between dissociation and OCD is established, and specific types of symptoms showed a clear convergent/discriminant pattern, indicating that they can be meaningfully distinguished from one another.

TL;DR: The initial cross-sectional study evaluated the incremental effects of social interaction anxiety on hedonic deficits beyond the effects of depressive and anxiety symptoms, finding some evidence for an association between social interactionxiety and hedonics deficits that is not attributable to covariance with other internalizing conditions.

TL;DR: The findings are consistent with theories suggesting that maladaptive interpretations of negative social events represent central cognitive biases in social phobia, but suggest that these interpretations are also associated with depression.

TL;DR: It is indicated that smokers with PD reported greater levels of anxiety and bodily distress than smokers without PD and than nonsmokers with PD at the post-challenge assessment and recovery period and the linear decrease in anxiety, but not bodily distress, was significantly more steep for nonsmoker with PD than for smokers withPD.

TL;DR: The present study provides additional support for the theoretical hierarchical structure of AS and suggests that there is a difference in the manifestation of AS between girls and boys.

TL;DR: Unexpectedly, after negative post-event processing socially anxious individuals recalled memories that although anxious and shameful, were rated as significantly more calming than after other types of post- event processing.

TL;DR: It is concluded that OBQ and III are useful measures in Italian individuals and that more research is warranted to possibly refine these two instruments.

TL;DR: The potential value of internal cue-exposure strategies for individuals who use substances as a way to cope with negative affect are discussed, and shared research strategies between panic disorder and substance use--studies of biological provocation and anxiety sensitivity--were discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between anxiety disorders, anxiety comorbidity, and eating disorder symptoms in clinical practice, and examined the naturalistic detection of ED when diagnoses were based on the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule (ADIS).

TL;DR: The results indicated that indeed this sample of Vietnam veterans reported high levels of grief-specific symptoms comparable to that found in bereaved individuals whose spouse had recently died, verifying its prominence as an important component of combat-related stress.

TL;DR: Initial findings indicate that being female, non-Caucasian, having depressive symptoms, and reporting social isolation are predictive of general fear of crime ratings.

TL;DR: Posttraumatic panic was modestly predicted by childhood sexual abuse experiences, a history of Anxiety and Depression, and peritraumatic dissociation, while prior trauma exposure and depression did not.

TL;DR: Regression analyses indicated that both catastrophic misinterpretation of bodily sensations and panic self-efficacy independently predicted panic severity, with no evidence to suggest a moderating relationship between the two cognitive factors.

TL;DR: Investigates the construct validity of the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children (SPAI-C) by comparing its sensitivity and specificity with another self-report measure of social anxiety, the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A).
