Coffee and Anxiety

2015

Abstract This chapter discusses the effects of coffee consumption on anxiety response, taking into account vulnerability factors such as sex and genetics. In light of research concerning the effects of coffee on normal anxiety, and particularly research carried out in our laboratory, current knowledge can be summarized as follows: (1) men appear to be more sensitive to the effects of coffee than women; and (2) coffee can increase alertness in habitual consumers after acute deprivation, but not above the level of that observed in nonconsumers. In addition, we discuss clinical evidence of the varying sensitivity of anxiety disorder patients to the effects of coffee. The caffeine challenge tes…

The Relationship between Knowing Sign Language and Quality of Life among Italian People Who Are Deaf: A Cross-Sectional Study

2023

Deafness is a medical condition with important relational implications. This condition could affect well-being and self-esteem and cause social anxiety. Sign language is not only a simple mimic but can be considered as a different kind of communication that could be protective for those who have learned it. However, some people do not use sign language because they think it can be marginalizing. The present study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) between people who learned Italian sign language as their first language with those who had never learned it or learned it later. This cross-sectional study involved 182 deaf Italian adults (70.3% females) who were recruited from Ente Nazi…

2017

Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt saistības starp sociālo trauksmi, alkohola lietošanas motīviem un alkohola lietošanai raksturīgajām pazīmēm. Pētījuma grupu veidoja 71 respondents, no kuriem 43 bija sievietes (61%) un 28 vīrieši (39%). Vidējais dalībnieka vecums ir 24 gadi (M=23,75, SD=4,09). Grupas dalībnieku vecums variē no 20 līdz 46 gadiem. Vīriešu vidējais vecums ir 25 gadi (M=24,7, SD=5,09), taču sieviešu vidējais vecums ir 23 gadi (M=23,12, SD=3,19). Sociālā trauksme tika mērīta ar Sociālās trauksmes aptauju (Social interaction anxiety scale).

Interoceptīvās izpratnes saistība ar sociālo trauksmi

2021

Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot vai starp sociālo trauksmi un interoceptīvo izpratni pastāv pozitīvas saistības. Lai to noskaidrotu, pētījumā piedalījās 156 dalībnieki vecumā no 18 līdz 60 gadiem (M = 29.06; SD = 10,29) no kuriem sievietes n = 129 (82.7%) un vīrieši n = 27 (17.3%), kas aizpildīja divas anketas – Sociālās trauksmes anketu un Interoceptīvās izpratnes daudzdimensionālās novērtēšanas anketu. Pētījuma rezultātos hipotēze neapstiprinājās un tika atklāts, ka starp interoceptīvo izpratni un sociālo trauksmi pastāv daļējas, statistiski nozīmīgas, negatīvas saistības. Papildus tam, tika atklāts, ka interoceptīvā izpratne kopā ar vecumu iespējams var izskaidrot lielu daļu sociālās trauk…

Educational Impairment in Social Anxiety Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

2020

Tant la Fòbia social (FS) com el Trastorn d’estrès posttraumàtic (TEPT) s’han associat al baix rendiment acadèmic, però els estudis previs presentaven importants limitacions metodològiques. Per a realitzar recerca epidemiològica, és útil utilitzar els registres administratius i de salut poblacionals, com els disponibles a Suècia. Per tal de desenvolupar estudis amb garanties, és important que els codis diagnòstics que contenen aquests registres siguen vàlids i fiables. Aquesta tesi per compendi d’articles té com a primer objectiu validar el codi diagnòstic de l’FS (el codi diagnòstic del TEPT ja ha sigut prèviament validat) per a després explorar, per mitjà dels registres poblacionals suecs…

Mediating Effects of Global Negative Effect Expectancies on the Association between Problematic Cannabis Use and Social Anxiety

2017

The relationship between social anxiety and cannabis use among adolescents and young adults is a highly debated topic. In this cross-sectional study, we tested whether cannabis use expectancies mediated the association between social anxiety and cannabis use severity in a sample of 343 young adults (74.3% male) who used cannabis. They completed self-report measures for the screening of problematic cannabis use (Cannabis Use Problems Identification Test) and social anxiety symptoms (Social Interaction Anxiety Scale and Social Phobia Scale). A multiple mediation analysis was used to test whether marijuana effect expectancies mediate social anxiety effect on problematic cannabis use. Social an…
