Effects of intensity on emotion regulation strategy preferences are emotion-specific Open
Adaptive emotion regulation is characterized by the ability to flexibly select and switch between different strategies, depending on individual and contextual factors. Previous studies have shown that people prefer disengagement strategies…

“That impending dread sort of feeling”: Experiences of social interaction from the perspectives of autistic adults Open
Quantitative research increasingly suggests that many autistic adults experience heightened levels of anxiety during social interaction. While anxiety related to social interactions is prevalent in the autistic population, little is known …

Featural vs. Holistic processing and visual sampling in the influence of social category cues on emotion recognition Open
Past research demonstrates that emotion recognition is influenced by social category cues present on faces. However, little research has investigated whether holistic processing is required to observe these influences of social category in…

What is attention bias variability? Examining the potential roles of attention control and response time variability in its relationship with anxiety Open
Recent years have seen increasing interest in the construct of attention bias variability (AB-Var). However, little is known about the cognitive underpinnings of this construct, with some research suggesting that AB-Var may represent an ar…

The use of wearable technology to measure and support abilities, disabilities and functional skills in autistic youth: a scoping review Open
Background: Wearable technology (WT) to measure and support social and non-social functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been a growing interest of researchers over the past decade. There is however limited understanding of the …

View article: Brief social attention bias modification for children with autism spectrum disorder
Brief social attention bias modification for children with autism spectrum disorder Open
Reduced social attention is a hallmark feature in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emerging as early as the first year of life. This difference represents a possible mechanism impacting upon the development of more complex social‐communicat…

Inhibitory attentional control in anxiety: Manipulating cognitive load in an antisaccade task Open
Theorists have proposed that heightened anxiety vulnerability is characterised by reduced attentional control performance and have made the prediction in turn that elevating cognitive load will adversely impact attentional control performa…
