Anxiety research, explained
4 open-access anxiety studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- How do anxiety and fear alter our perception of time?
While being in an anxious state makes people underestimate the passage of time, experiencing acute fear has no measurable effect on time perception.
- Does Social Anxiety Make Us Over-Interpret What Others Think?
People with social anxiety only over-interpret others' thoughts and intentions during stressful, self-referential social interactions, rather than as a general, constant habit.
- How personal memory details affect learning in anxiety
Anxiety patients who struggle to recall specific details of their own lives also show a poorer ability to learn the difference between safe and predictive cues.
- How sleep loss boosts anxiety: an EEG study
Sleep deprivation increases temporary anxiety by altering brain wave patterns that control threat attention and emotional regulation.
