... In line with previous findings on the association between PC and (i) increased upset [10,36,37] and (ii) lower relationship and marital satisfaction [23,38], we formulated the following hypotheses: ...

... This might be related to emotional overarousal through exposure to high degrees of negative affects relevant to the person with mental disorder. It should be noted that individual differences in trait negative emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress) may modulate the intensity and relevance of perceived criticism, its impact on emotional over-involvement and emotion regulation [5,6]. Emotion regulation includes monitoring and evaluation of emotional reactions, and encompasses both positive and negative affect [7]. ...

... Accurately predicting treatment response could optimize the utilization of medical resources, minimize exposure to ineffective interventions, and enhance treatment compliance. Brain structural and functional features, such as blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal [32,33] and gray matter volume (GMV) [33], as well as clinical features [34][35][36][37][38][39][40] like anxiety sensitivity, anxiety level, age of onset, agoraphobic severity, and childhood maltreatment, have shown potential in predicting the treatment response of patients with PD to pharmacotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated the use of resting-state brain activity patterns to predict the treatment response of PD patients to pharmacotherapy. ...

... The HRSD (36) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) (45), well-established semistructured interviews to assess general mood and anxiety symptoms, were collected pre-and posttreatment (termination). We used the reconstructed versions to more specifically differentiate general anxiety from depression symptoms (46). ...

... model of social support suggests that when individuals encounter stressful events or situations, social support acts as a buffer to cushion the consequences of the stressful event or situation, promoting better stress reduction and health maintenance (Wang and Zhang, 2021). When individuals have higher levels of perceived social support, they are also motivated to have more confidence in social situations, and this perceived social support can buffer individuals from possible stress and anxiety in social situations, thereby reducing social anxiety levels (Porter and Chambless, 2017). In addition, work intensity affects teachers' physical and mental health, but existing studies have ignored the relationship between work intensity and social anxiety. ...

... Self-disclosure index (SDI; Miller, Berg, & Archer, 1983) The SDI is a 10-item measure that assesses the extent to which participants have disclosed information about 10 personal topics to their partner over the course of the past year. The SDI has demonstrated good construct validity and high internal consistency (α = .87-.93; Miller et al., 1983;Porter, Chambless, & Keefe, 2017). In the present sample, internal consistency was high for individuals with SAD (α = .90) ...

... This finding broadly aligns with research into anxiety disorders, OCD and depression, where baseline symptom severity often emerges as a significant predictor of poorer CBT response (e.g. Ginsburg et al., 2008;Kunas et al., 2021;Porter & Chambless, 2015;Schneider et al., 2015;Steketee et al., 2011). However, it should be noted that in the current review, we focused on univariate analyses for ease of comparison across studies, and therefore these analyses did not adjust for baseline BDD symptom severity. ...

... For example, it was demonstrated in previous studies that those with low relationship desire show fundamentally different results in a host of measures, including sociability, sex frequency, work-life balance, and life satisfaction, compared with high-level relationship seekers, and that this might be the reason for mixed findings in the past (Kislev, 2020b, Park et al., 2021. For example, while some studies showed higher levels of loneliness, social isolation, and social anxiety among singles (Adamczyk, 2016, La Greca & Harrison, 2005, Porter & Chambless, 2014, others showed the opposite is true, in general (Kislev, 2020c), or in certain cases (Kislev, 2020b. ...
