“…Generally, anxious individuals scan the environment for threat-related information and interpret ambiguous information as threatening (Bögels & Mansell, 2004;Hunt, Keogh, & French, 2006). In addition, people with severe anxiety disorders suffer from chronic over arousal, increasing the likelihood of misinterpreting ambiguous environmental information as threatening (Barlow, 1991).…”

“…The key component here is accepting and objectively examining physiological symptoms. Although the examination of physiological symptoms is inherently similar to CBT, cognitive therapy trains people to recognise the relationship between arousal and cognition (Barlow, 1991). In contrast, mindfulness training draws no direct connection between physical sensations and thoughts, rather aims to teach people to attend to thoughts and to physical sensations as they occur (Kabat-Zin, 1990).…”

The research investigated the effect of mindfulness meditation on the emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, we explored whether people with varying severity of depression, anxiety, and stress responded differently to mindfulness training. In order to investigate these questions, participants (n = 50) completed the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, 21-item version (DASS-21) before and after a 10-week mindfulness meditation program. As predicted, the severity levels of all affective measures have decreased by the end of the meditation course. Participants with severe emotional difficulties at the time of commencing the meditation course demonstrated the most notable improvement over time. These results suggest that mindfulness training is beneficial in reducing the symptoms of subclinical depression and anxiety and can substantially reduce stress. Attentional retraining and self-management aspects of mindfulness meditation, as well as relevant methodological issues are discussed.

“…Following our previous work regarding the involvement of MA in mathoriented tasks, and inspired by the findings of Lyons & Beilock(2012b), we would like to study how cerebral functional networks are altered by MA, invoked during the anticipation phase prior to a mathematical related experiment. From a phenomenological perspective, it is assumed that during this anticipation phase, the math-anxious individuals will have negative expectations about their ability to cope with the experiment's upcoming mathematical tasks (Barlow, 2004;Barlow, 1991). Anticipatory anxiety is conceptually and biologically distinct from arousal anxiety that is triggered mainly in panic attacks (Heller, Nitschke, Etienne, & Miller, 1997;Nitschke, Heller, Palmieri, & Miller, 1999).…”

Following our previous work regarding the involvement of math anxiety (MA) in math-oriented tasks, this study tries to explore the differences in the cerebral networks' topology between self-reported low math-anxious (LMA) and high math-anxious (HMA) individuals, during the anticipation phase prior to a mathematical related experiment. For this reason, multichannel EEG recordings were adopted, while the solution of the inverse problem was applied in a generic head model, in order to obtain the cortical signals. The cortical networks have been computed for each band separately, using the magnitude square coherence metric. The main graph theoretical parameters, showed differences in segregation and integration in almost all EEG bands of the HMAs in comparison to LMAs, indicative of a great influence of the anticipatory anxiety prior to mathematical performance.

“…Such increased locomotion can be dopamine mediated, since offensive animals increase their dopamine release during confrontations (Ferrari, et al 2003) as this catecholamine, along with other neuropeptides, mediates aggressiveness (Narvaes & de Almeida 2014). Likewise, motivational approach can be triggered by anxious apprehension, defined as a sense of uncontrollability and expectancy where a negative event is anticipated and the individual prepares for coping (Barlow 1991). In humans exposed to a narrative task to stimulate anxious apprehension, left frontal hemisphere activity is greater compared with controls (Heller, et al 1997).…”

Effects of anthropogenic noise on the behaviour, physiological traits and welfare of two animal models: wild mice (Mus musculus) and Eastern blue tongued lizard (Tiliqua scincoides)

Noise is an important source of stress that is able to impact negatively on animals' welfare.Anthropogenic activities are a major contributor to noise, and their cumulative effects on individuals could have consequences for wildlife populations. Although transportation noise impacts have been evaluated for vocal and charismatic animals, research regarding the effects of other types of anthropogenic noise on non-charismatic animals has not been undertaken. This research explored the effects of mining noise, which is prevalent in the Australian soundscape, on wild mice (Mus musculus) and Eastern blue tongued lizards (Tiliqua scincoides). The first experimental stage focused on developing a reliable methodology to assess behavioural responses in the blue tongued lizard, and suitable noise exposure and acoustic processing techniques for subsequent experimentation. This was achieved through the analysis of the effects of typical transport stressors on lizards' behaviour. Lizards were exposed to Heat (35 o C), Cold (15 o C), high or low frequency noise or a Control treatment with no stimulus in a test chamber for a 5 s. The test chamber was connected to an escape chamber, accessible after exposure to the stimulus, and a small hiding chamber opposite the test chamber. Lizard behaviour was monitored during stimulus exposure and then for a further 15 minutes, after which each lizard was removed. Lizards exposed to Cold spent less time in the test chamber and more time inactive in the escape chamber. They also spent longer walking towards the hiding chamber both away from the wall and by the wall and walking in the hiding chamber away from the stimulus. Thus, cold temperatures were noxious for lizards in a simulated transport environment as they reduced activity and increased escape attempts.In a second experiment, noise exposure was studied in more detail and the behaviour of blue tongued lizards when exposed to five combinations of mining machinery noise was evaluated.Lizards were exposed to low and high frequencies (≤ or > 2 kHz) at both low (60-65 dB (A)) and high (70-75 dB (A)) amplitudes, and a Control treatment, following the same exposure technique developed in the first experiment. In the test chamber lizards exposed to any mining machinery noise, but especially high frequencies, spent more time freezing, a typical stress response in reptiles, when compared with animals in the Control treatment. In the hiding chamber, high frequencies at high amplitudes decreased durations of the head being held to the right face downwards, suggesting a lateralized fear reaction. High frequency, high amplitude noise was the most detrimental. Mining noise had negative effects on the lizards' behavior and welfare. To estimate mining machinery noise effects on the second animal model, wild mice, amplitudes and frequencies were tested separately to differentiate between these two important components of noise. Using the high and low amplitudes previously established, wild mice were exposed to 3 weeks of continuous noise. Effe...
