The effect of worrying on intolerance of uncertainty and positive and negative beliefs about worry
ConclusionsThe results suggest that engaging in worry can increase scores on measures of the beliefs and thought patterns often used to causally explain worry. The results are in line with recent research showing bidirectionality between anxiety related symptoms and their associated clinical constructs, and are consistent with an approach which sees anxiety symptoms as part of an evolved integrated threat management system that alerts the individual to threats to goals or challenges, and coordinates cognitive, behavioral, and affective reactions to enable effective responding to these threats and challenges.

A Cross‐Sectional Survey to Assess the Migraineur's Medication Decision‐Making Beliefs: Determining When a Migraine Is Triptan‐Worthy

Gender Stereotypes, Performance and Identification with Math
Publication date: 21 May 2015 Source:Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, Volume 190 Author(s): Irena Smetackova Previous research has showed that school achievements depend on studentś motivation and identification (Zimmerman, 2000). There are some differences between girls and boys beliefs about mathematics (Gallagher & Kaufman, 2005). We still do not have enough information about relations between identification and gender beliefs and about the impact of those two areas on real knowledge. The paper presents new research on academic achievements and attitudes of girls and boys in mathematics. The basic a...

Abstract A28: Effects of an education intervention about human papillomavirus self-testing for healthcare providers
Conclusions: A brief education intervention may be a low-cost and potentially effective strategy for increasing knowledge and affecting beliefs about HPV self-testing among healthcare providers and staff. Findings will be highly valuable for planning and developing future HPV self-test programs that include a component for healthcare providers.Citation Format: Mira L.

Eating disorder ‐related social comparison in college women's everyday lives
This study examined: frequency of upward and downward body, eating, and exercise comparisons; context in which these comparisons occur; and body, eating, and exercise comparison direction as predictors of concurrent body dissatisfaction and disordered eating thoughts, urges, and behaviors in college women's everyday lives using ecological momentary assessment (EMA). MethodParticipants were 232 college women who completed a two‐week EMA protocol, using their personal electronic devices to answer questions three times per day. ResultsFirst, body, eating, and exercise comparisons were common. Second, when these comparisons ...

Barriers and facilitators to meeting aphasia guideline recommendations: what factors influence speech pathologists' practice?
CONCLUSIONS: Speech pathologists report a number of key factors influencing their practice, which differ in how they influence behaviours (i.e., a factor may be a barrier or a facilitator) depending on the behaviour and clinical setting. Future implementation interventions need to account for the strong influence of beliefs and social influences on speech pathology practice, which may facilitate successful implementation. Implications for rehabilitation Speech pathologists' aphasia management practices are often inconsistent with guideline recommendations. Environmental and contextual barriers were identified for all guide...

Enduring Effects of One-Day Training in Good Psychiatric Management on Clinician Attitudes About Borderline Personality Disorder
This study examined whether a 1-day training in good psychiatric management (GPM) changed clinician attitudes and beliefs and whether those changes persisted over time. Fifty-two mental health clinicians attended a 1-day GPM training and completed a 13-item assessment of attitudes about BPD before and after the training and again 6 months later. One-way repeated-measures analysis of variances and dependent sample t-tests demonstrated significant changes for all items, 11 of which were in the direction of more positive attitudes about BPD. For six items, attitudes did not change immediately after training, but 6 months late...

Emotional regulation, attachment to possessions and hoarding symptoms
This study aimed to test which particular facets of emotion regulation (ER) are most linked to symptoms of hoarding disorder, and whether beliefs about emotional attachment to possessions (EA) mediate this relationship. A non‐clinical sample of 150 participants (108 females) completed questionnaires of emotional tolerance (distress tolerance, anxiety sensitivity, negative urgency – impulsivity when experiencing negative emotions), depressed mood, hoarding, and beliefs about emotional attachment to possessions. While all emotional tolerance measures related to hoarding, when considered together and controlling for depre...

Bystanders’ responses to offline bullying and cyberbullying: The role of empathy and normative beliefs about aggression
Cyberbullying often takes place with the virtual presence or knowledge of bystanders. While we have some evidence about the determinants of bystanders’ responses to offline bullying, we lack empirical studies concerning the variables that influence bystanders’ responses to cyberbullying. The current study examines bystanders’ responses to offline bullying and cyberbullying incidents. Two types of responses were captured: support toward the victims and the reinforcement of bullies’ actions. Using data from 321 German adolescents (ages 12–18; M = 14.99; 44% girls), the association between bystanders’ responses ...

Serbian Gynecologists' and Pharmacists' Beliefs about Emergency Contraception.
Abstract Emergency contraception (EC) in Serbia is available in two products, one of which, Levonorgestel, has nonprescription status, and Ulipristal acetate is a prescription-only medicine. Considering their dispensing statuses, gynecologists and pharmacists are health care professionals (HCPs) with the widest impact on EC use. Yet little is known about their beliefs and practices regarding these medicines. We surveyed 166 gynecologists (during October 2012-October 2013) and 452 community pharmacists (during January-April 2014). Results showed significant differences between these two groups, suggesting that prov...

Implicit and Explicit Beliefs About the Effectiveness of Psychotherapy vs. Medication: A Large-Scale Examination and Replication
One exploratory study (N = 10,335) and one preregistered replication and extension study (N = 6648) evaluated implicit and explicit beliefs in the effectiveness of psychotherapy versus medication, and whether these beliefs vary as a function of demographics, mental health difficulties, and treatment experiences. Data were collected from a sample of visitors to a mental health research website who completed the Therapy vs. Medication Effectiveness Implicit Association Test (IAT). The IAT demonstrated evidence of convergent validity with two measures of explicit therapy versus medication effectiveness beliefs. Across both st...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 1783: Coping with Trauma and Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Exploring Intentions and Lay Beliefs about Appropriate Strategies among Asylum-Seeking Migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa in Germany
a Mewes Asylum-seekers are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to frequent exposure to trauma. We investigated the coping intentions and lay beliefs about appropriate coping strategies among asylum-seekers from Sub-Saharan Africa in Germany. The study applied a methodological triangulation strategy with a vignette describing symptoms of PTSD. In a quantitative part, asylum-seekers (n = 119) that were predominantly from Eritrea (n = 41), Somalia (n = 36), and Cameroon (n = 25), and a native comparison sample (n = 120) responded to questionnaires assessing coping, traumatic events, and po...

Abstract B76: Optimism and barriers to colonoscopy in low-income Latinos at average risk for colorectal cancer
Conclusions: Optimism appears to have a negative relationship with both components of distress: fear and worry; while fatalism is only positively correlated with worry but not fear. In addition, individuals with family history of any cancer type experience greater CRC distress. Interventions that promote optimistic beliefs may be able to reduce both level of fear and worry among Latinos referred for colonoscopy and potentially have a positive effect on screening outcomes.Citation Format: Elizaveta Efuni, Lina Jandorf, Cristina Villagra, Gary Winkel, Tatiana Starr, Katherine N.
