A dimensional examination of eating disorder symptoms in relation to cognitive processing: An event ‐related potentials study
Identifying neurocognitive mechanisms involved in individuals experiencing eating disorder (ED) symptoms may be important for preventing EDs and improving rates of recovery. The present pilot study assessed how cognitive functioning may be associated with ED symptoms in college students (N = 41). Cognitive functioning was examined using electroencephalography during an auditory response inhibition task to measure the P3 component of event‐related potentials. Multiple regression analysis revealed that longer P3 latencies in the frontal region of the cortex were significantly and linearly associated with greater ED sympt...

The influence of persuasive messages on healthy eating habits: a test of the Theory of Reasoned Action when attitudes and subjective norm are targeted for change
This study provides a test of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to better understand the impact of influence messages on healthy eating. This longitudinal cohort study examined the TRA within two systems of change: (1) when attitudes and (2) subjective norms were influenced by messages to increase fruit/vegetable consumption and prevent meal skipping. Participants were assigned randomly to one of three messages: (1) no‐message control group, (2) attitude message, and (3) subjective norm message. For fruit/vegetable consumption, when attitude or subjective norm changed, TRA's predictions were not consistent with the dat...

Effects of unrecognized physiological residual arousal on emotional experience
This study investigated the effect of residual arousal on perceived positive and negative emotion, and the relationship between the valence of emotion and cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory reactivity. A total of 74 participants were randomly assigned to either a Residual Arousal (exercise‐induced) group or a No Residual Arousal (no exercise) group. Following the arousal manipulation, participants watched a video that elicited positive emotion and a video that elicited negative emotion. Within‐person differences revealed greater discrepancies between participants’ reports of positive and negative emotions in respon...

Somatization disorder and stress in teachers: a comprehensive occupational health evaluation
This study examined somatization disorder in a K‐12 teacher population. A total of 2,988 teachers from 46 Texas districts responded to a comprehensive online occupational health survey. Somatization disorder was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire. Univariate analyses were conducted between teachers with and without somatization disorder to identify specific relationships with demographic variables, occupational variables, perceived stress, Axis I psychopathology, and physical health. A logistic regression was developed to identify the variables most strongly associated with the presence of somatization disor...

Obstructive sleep apnea: Brain hemodynamics, structure, and function
This paper summarizes a review of articles that have explored the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), brain infractions, and cognitive dysfunction. The anomalies in brain hemodynamics, brain atrophy, and cognitive dysfunction resulting from OSA are reviewed. The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on the reversibility of structural and neurobehavioral deficits is also presented. The articles were selected based on a systematic search on PubMed and Medline databases using the key words “sleep apnea, OSA, hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, cerebral hemodynamics, metabolism, brai...

Circadian principles: Behavioral health implications
In the context of inter‐disciplinary and collaborative practice models, this article introduces behavioral health clinicians to circadian concepts such as chronotype, phase‐response curve and entrainment as they impact self‐regulation, behavior, and neuro‐cognitive performance. A review of selected research studies and theoretical commentary represents the basis for describing chronobiologic principles and their pertinence to everyday mental health practice. Despite scholarly references to methodologic limitations in the research, environmental and clinical applications of chronobiologic knowledge/techniques, inclu...

Power struggles within the top management team: An empirical examination of follower reactions to subversive leadership
This study examined the response of an organization's members to subversive leadership and the undermining of the CEO. When the top‐management team is in conflict, there is a lack of leadership from the highest levels within the organization. The lack of leadership is likely to produce extraordinary stress throughout the firm, and become a health‐risk factor for the organization's members, especially the CEO. After exposure to this undermining, we hypothesize that organizational members will lose trust in the leadership and will have lower job satisfaction, as well a higher intent to leave the organization. The finding...
