“…Repetitive mind wandering often accompanies secrecy and is a consequence of maladaptive coping (Ottaviani, Shapiro, & Couyoumdjian, 2013;Wayment, Collier, Birkett, Traustadottir, & Till, 2015). With increased perceived coping efficacy, people are more motivated to expand effort to improve their coping including through confronting negative affect, regulating one's emotions, and finding healthier ways to think through the stressor for improved well-being (Kneeland, Dovidio, Joormann, & Clark, 2016). Accordingly, increased perceived coping efficacy should set in motion a set of processes that increase coping efforts (e.g., increased confidence, improved emotion regulation) that reduce repetitive mind wandering to the secret.…”

How does confiding secrets relate to well-being? The current work presents the first empirical examination of mechanisms by which confiding diverse real-world secrets to known others predicts well-being. We examined over 800 participants with more than 10,000 secrets in total, finding that confiding a secret does not predict reduced instances of concealment. Rather, confiding a secret predicts higher well-being through perceived coping efficacy. Correlational and experimental studies find that through confiding a secret, people feel they obtain social support and are more capable in coping with the secret. Additionally, through perceived coping efficacy, confiding a secret predicts less frequent mind wandering to the secret. Confiding predicts higher well-being through changing the way and how often people think about their secret.

“…The general finding that a growth mindset buffers the negative consequences of challenging and demanding environments has implications for clinical psychology, given that stressful life circumstances are risk factors for developing psychological distress (Abramson, Seligman, & Teasdale, 1978;Infura & Luthar, 2016). Although the application of mindsets to clinical science is in its infancy (Kneeland, Dovidio, Joormann, & Clark, 2016), three promising findings have emerged. First, connections between mindsets and mental health symptoms are somewhat domain-specific, such that correlations with symptoms are stronger for mindsets of emotion and anxiety, compared to mindsets of personality and intelligence (Schroder, Dawood, Yalch, Donnellan, & Moser, 2015.…”

Second, growth mindsets of emotions and anxiety are associated with adaptive emotion-regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal (De Castella et al, 2013;Kneeland et al, 2016). Third, the growth mindset of anxiety is associated with greater motivation to engage and succeed in psychological therapy (De Castella et al, 2015;Schroder et al, 2015;Valentiner, Jencius, Jarek, Gier-Lonsway, & McGrath, 2013).…”

Beliefs about the malleability of global attributes like personality and intelligenceknown as mindsetsare well-established predictors of resilience to challenges in educational contexts. Recent research further suggests that mindsets about anxiety may act in a similar fashion with mental health resilience. In this study we examined whether anxiety mindset would moderate relations between history of stressful life events and psychological distress and coping. Consistent with predictions, relations between number of stressful life events and posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, substance use, and motivations for non-suicidal self-injury were weaker among those with more of a growth mindset relative to those with more of a fixed mindset. These initial results suggest that anxiety mindsets function in a similar way for mental health resilience as how mindsets of intelligence function for academic outcomes.

“…Anxiety and fear may involve changes in a patient's emotions and behavior, as well as their physical and cognitive status. [ 13 ] The measurement of dental anxiety and fear must evaluate these 4 aspects of anxiety to understand levels of fear and anxiety before undergoing dental procedures. We hypothesized that the extraction of wisdom teeth may be facilitated when dental personnel fully understand the source of patients’ anxiety and discomfort, and addressing these issues may ultimately reduce patients’ anxiety and postoperative pain.…”

The aim of the study is to identify associations between dental anxiety and postoperative pain in patients undergoing extraction of horizontally impacted wisdom teeth.A total of 119 volunteers provided demographic data, and completed questionnaires, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Chinese Index of Dental Anxiety and Fear (C-IDAF)-4C, and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain.Mean SAI, TAI, and C-IDAF-4C scores were 42.5 ± 8.7, 46.4 ± 10.9, and 16.9 ± 7.2, respectively. Mean postoperative pain level score was 3.0 ± 1.8 (range: 0.3–8.4). SAI scores increased as preoperative pain levels increased (β = 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.62–1.98, P < .001); females had higher SAI scores than males (5.34; 95% CI: 1.74–8.95, P = .004). Multivariable analysis revealed that females, bad exodontic experience, and higher predicted pain levels were associated with higher IDAF-4C scores. SAI scores (γ = 0.611, P < .001) and TAI scores (γ = 0.305, P < .001) increased as C-IDAF-4C scores increased. Higher C-IDAF-4C scores and longer operative time were significantly associated with higher levels of postoperative pain.Specific factors are associated with anxiety and stress, and postoperative pain in patients undergoing wisdom teeth extraction. Addressing these factors preoperatively may reduce stress and anxiety, and lead to more favorable treatment outcomes.
