A neural signature for the subjective experience of threat anticipation under uncertainty

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Feb. 20, 2024

Abstract Uncertainty about potential future threats and the associated anxious anticipation represents a key feature of anxiety. However, neural systems that underlie subjective experience threat under uncertainty remain unclear. Combining an uncertainty-variation paradigm allows precise modulation level momentary arousal during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with multivariate predictive modeling, we train brain model accurately predicts intensity test it across 9 samples (total n = 572, both gender). Using publicly available datasets, demonstrate whole-brain signature specifically is not sensitive in predicting pain, general or unspecific emotional autonomic arousal. The also functionally spatially distinguishable from representations fear negative affect. We develop sensitive, generalizable, specific neuroimaging marker for uncertain can facilitate development.

Abstract The smartphone represents a transformative device that dramatically changed our daily lives, including how we communicate, work, entertain ourselves, and navigate through unknown territory. Given its ubiquitous availability impact on nearly every aspect of debates the potential (over-)use brain whether use can be “addictive” have increased over last years. Several studies used magnetic resonance imaging to characterize associations between individual differences in excessive variations structure or function. Therefore, it is an opportune time summarize critically reflect available studies.

Smartphone Distraction: Italian Validation of the Smartphone Distraction Scale (SDS)

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(15), P. 6509 - 6509

Published: Aug. 2, 2023

This work aimed to validate the use of Smartphone Distraction Scale (SDS) in Italy. The SDS was devised assess distraction related smartphone adult populations. A cross-sectional study conducted among n = 609 adults (females 76.4%; mean age 30.26; SD 9.90). An assessment factorial structure Italian version carried out using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA). four factors identified by Throuvala colleagues were confirmed (i.e., attention impulsiveness, online vigilance, multitasking emotion regulation). Reliability assessed Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.703–0.889). scale’s scores showed significant linear correlations with validated instruments, including Mobile Phone Problematic Use (MPPUS)and Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ). multivariate variance differences means participants belonging different groups (born before 1995 vs. born after 1996). In summary, good psychometric properties observed led us assume that this instrument can be applied used studies cognitive dimension smartphones.

Abstract The Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent in the 21st century, fueled by rise social media. FoMO, characterized apprehension that others may be having more rewarding experiences and a desire to stay continually connected, significant implications for mental health, particularly among emerging adults. This qualitative study aims explore subjective lived FoMO coping strategies employed Data were collected through in-depth interviews, thematic analysis was used interpret data. findings revealed participants experienced as involving feelings exclusion, disconnection, inadequacy upon becoming aware peers having. However, also perceived an important signal unmet needs, prompting reflection on misalignment between one’s actual life desired life. amplified contexts identity formation pivotal choices, such social, professional (education/work/career), dating situations. Participants described various spontaneous strategies, cognitive reappraisal perspective-taking reframe it constructively, emotional self-soothing, behavioral approaches like temporarily disconnecting from These self-initiated methods suggest potential developing new interventions aimed at empowering adults manage effects their well-being. While most research emphasizes connection technology, this advances understanding highlighting its characteristics everyday experience domains along with ways during developmental period adulthood.
