“…Health-related worries may therefore be maintained rather than diminished by online health information search. This finding complements past research and suggests that health anxious individuals follow a threat-confirming strategy 37 that heightens their responsiveness to alarming information and makes them relatively immune to reassuring information.…”

“…For instance, in one series of studies, de Jong and colleagues used the Wason selection task to examine participants' reasoning about danger and safety rules (de Jong, Haenen, Schmidt, & Mayer, 1998;de Jong, Mayer, & van den Hout, 1997;Smeets, de Jong, & Mayer, 2000). The Wason selection task involves a conditional rule (If p on one side, then q on the other side) and four cards, of which only one side is visible ( p, not p, q, not q).…”

“…Emotional reactions are not elicited by trivial events; in fact, there is some evidence consistent with the hypothesis that perceived utility of negative and positive events in the context of conditional statements may vary. For instance, in the research of de Jong and colleagues looking at danger and safety rules (de Jong et al, 1998;de Jong et al, 1997;Smeets et al, 2000), q and not q are clearly of different subjective utility, depending on the type of rule. These experiments have varied semantic or informational content simultaneously with emotional value.…”

“…In una ricerca, presentata nello stesso lavoro sopra citato (Johnson-Laird, Mancini, & Gangemi, 2006), abbiamo dimostrato che effettivamente il ragionamento di Maria è caratteristico degli ossessivi nel senso che è una condizione sufficiente affinché i clinici pongano diagnosi di disturbo ossessivo compulsivo. In particolare, abbiamo dimostrato che, seguendo la ricetta, si producono ragionamenti che gli psichiatri, con grande facilità, riconoscono come & Mayer, 2000;De Jong, Haenen, Schmidt, & Mayer, 1998;Mancini & Gangemi, 2004a;, cioè orientati solo verso la ricerca di esempi capaci di confermare l'ipotesi di pericolo, laddove il pericolo paventato è tipicamente ossessivo. È interessante notare che gli psichiatri che hanno partecipato alla ricerca non avevano alcuna conoscenza del modello cognitivista del DOC.…”
