Experimental Modification of Interpretation Bias about Animal Fear in Young Children: Effects on Cognition, Avoidance Behavior, Anxiety Vulnerability, and Physiological Responding / Kathryn J. LESTER in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 40-6 (November-December 2011)

LESTER, Auteur ; Andy P. FIELD, Auteur ; Peter MURIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.864-877 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the effects of experimentally modifying interpretation biases for children's cognitions, avoidance behavior, anxiety vulnerability, and physiological responding. Sixty-seven children (6–11 years) were randomly assigned to receive a positive or negative interpretation bias modification procedure to induce interpretation biases toward or away from threat about ambiguous situations involving Australian marsupials. Children rapidly learned to select outcomes of ambiguous situations, which were congruent with their assigned condition. Furthermore, following positive modification, children's threat biases about novel ambiguous situations significantly decreased, whereas threat biases significantly increased after negative modification. In response to a stress-evoking behavioral avoidance test, positive modification attenuated behavioral avoidance compared to negative modification. However, no significant effects of bias modification on anxiety vulnerability or physiological responses to this stress-evoking Behavioral Avoidance Task were observed.

The verbal information pathway to fear and heart rate changes in children / Andy P. FIELD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-11 (November 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 48-11 (November 2007) . - p.1088–1093 Titre : The verbal information pathway to fear and heart rate changes in children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andy P. FIELD, Auteur ; Hannah SCHORAH, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.1088–1093 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anxiety conditioning fears information-processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although many studies have now demonstrated that threat information is sufficient to change children's beliefs and behaviours towards novel animals, there is no evidence to suggest that it influences the physiological component of the fear emotion. Methods: An experiment is reported in which children (N = 26) aged between 6 and 9 were given threat, positive or no information about three novel animals and then asked to place their hands into boxes that they believed to contain each of these animals. Their average heart rate during each approach task was measured. Results: One-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences in the average heart rate when approaching the three boxes: heart rates were significantly higher when approaching the box containing the animal associated with threat information compared to when approaching the control animal. Conclusions: These findings suggest that fear information acts not only upon cognitive and behavioural aspects of the fear emotion, but also on the physiological component.
