Homophobia is a negative attitude toward homosexual people. Some authors have often defined homophobia as an irrational fear either of contact with homosexual people or of one's own suppressed homosexuality. Social scientists however claim that homophobia is a typical prejudice. Series of three studies investigated relation between homophobia and anxiety. Personality trait anxiety proved not helpful as a predictor of homophobia level. Homosexual person's category activation also evoked no stronger state of anxiety in more homophobic subjects as compared to the less prejudiced ones. These results suggest that homophobia cannot be equated with anxiety. The latter might be, but doesn't have to be, only one of elements of affective component of prejudice against gay men and lesbians. Reactions to anticipated physical or emotional contact with homosexual person and to sexual advances from a person of the same or the other sex were also compared. Subjects were more fearful of contact with homosexual person of the same than the other sex, which suggests presence of fear of the situation becoming perceived as erotic by the homosexual person. Subjects were also more fearful of sexual advances from a person of the same than of the other sex. In men differences obtained were greater, which can be explained with different cultural influences on men and women in the western society.

Proliferation of populist policies and strengthening of political populism in several liberal democracies has been accompanied by campaigns full of public anger, anxiety and fear. Our research contributes to understanding how negative emotions shape selected political attitudes. We designed an experiment with 72 participants randomly assigned to three groups. The aim was to impose anxiety by using a stimulus that is incidental, i.e. having unrelated content to the attitudes under study. In addition to self-reported emotional state measured by post-test survey, we also measured the heart rate activity. Regarding political attitudes, next to attitudes towards immigrants we measured attitudes towards marijuana decriminalization as well. Findings indicate that while imposed anxiety leads to more negative attitudes towards immigrants, there seems to be no such effect on attitudes towards marijuana. We explain the difference by presence/absence of the in-group/out-group division in the types of political attitudes under study.

A sample of 99 subjects from three age groups took part in a research probe intended to clarify the relationships between life satisfaction, accommodation flexibility and negative affectivity (anxiety). Although a comparison according to age failed to make it evident, a selection of Ss according to whether they are extremely satisfied or extremely dissatisfied with life showed that those satisfied achieve significantly higher scores in accommodation flexibility and statistically lower scores in anxiety measures than Ss extremely dissatisfied with life.

The anxiety disorders can be treated efficiently by several psychotherapeutic methods. The suggested treatment protocol underlines the importance of the good fitting to the personal demands and the suitable combination of medication and psychotherapy. The qualitative and quantitative parameters of the input-output system of psychological therapies are verified by scientific methods. The progression of neurosciences revealed the mechanisms of basic cognitive disorders in the etiology of biopsychosocial psychological disorders that provide a continuous challenge for the psychotherapy as well. Notwithstanding this, most psychotherapists avoid the scientific discussion and the psychotherapy marches out from the clinical sciences and makes preparations for to live in a scientific diaspora. It is not to be questioned that the reasons of this exodus originated from organizational and financial problems, but the repeated mentioning of these problems cannot be deputy of the creative discussion between the neuroscientists and psychotherapists. It seems to have a correct professional language that can be replay to the new challenges in the diagnostic and therapeutic processes of psychotherapy. The study presented here surveys these areas and demonstrates some new concepts and lines of thought to enlarge the vocabulary of psychotherapy and neurosciences to understand each other.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between paranoid and conspiracy beliefs and how these beliefs further relate to anxiety-trait, anxiety disorders, and satisfaction with life. The research involved 814 participants who were administered the Paranoia Scale, the Slovak Conspiracy Belief Scale, the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. The results showed that paranoid beliefs were associated with conspiracy beliefs, anxiety-trait, and life satisfaction. All of the variables together accounted for almost 40% of the variance of paranoid beliefs. Although conspiracy beliefs were associated with paranoia, the relationship with life satisfaction and anxiety-trait did not emerge as significant. The results of this study point out the importance of further exploration of paranoid and conspiracy beliefs, especially in times of coronavirus pandemic, when the harmful effects of such beliefs are even more salient.

This is a probe into the mutual interaction of anxiety, coping strategy and type of situation. Spielberger's STPI questionnaire measuring trait anxiety and the Frankovský-Baumgartner inventory of the Strategy of Procedure in Demanding Situations were administered to a sample of 48 students. The results imply that anxiety does not affect the choice of coping strategies to the same degree in all types of situations. In situations relating to employment, anxiety rather supports avoidance behavior, while in those concerned with moral an interpersonal issues it tends to seek support.

The main idea of this article is to introduce the concept of repression and sensitization as it is understood in the field of cognitive psychology. The typology, according to which people can be divided into four types: repressors, low-anxious, high-anxious, and defensive high-anxious (sensitizers) is presented. Also presented is the critical analysis of the research based on the four-types classification. Attention is directed to ambiguous results, based on some terminological as well as methodological misunderstandings of the typology. The last part of the text is devoted to unresolved issues and possibilities for development of this branch of psychological research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of interpersonal problem solving, positive-negative affect and anxiety. To this end, 336 high school students completed Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory (Çam & Tümkaya, 2008), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Gençöz, 2000), and Trait Anxiety Inventory (Öner, 1977). The statistical analysis of the study included Pearson Moments Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results indicated that inter-correlations among negative orientation to the problem, negative affect, anxiety, and inter-correlations among constructive problem solving, insistent-persevering orientation and positive affect were all significant. The results of Multiple Regression Analysis indicated that within negative affect and anxiety, negative orientation to the problem was the most powerful predictor. In light of these findings, suggestions for planned interventions to improve interpersonal problem-solving skills of students in individual and group guidance activities are emphasized and ideas for future research are discussed.

The article points out the similarity of idea in poetry and philosophy. Poets and philosophers describe the same phenomena and walk the same path in solidarity. Mallarmé and Heidegger speak of Nothingness and show Nothingness. Mallarmé descended deeply enough into Nothingness to speak about it with confidence. Where to look for nothing and how to find it? How can nothing be shown? And what does nothing itself show? Nothingness is revealed through Anxiety. Therefore, the abnormal anxiety that possess the poet is an experience of suffering from Nothingness. Nothing is known as a thing or as a condition. It is happening as we speak. Nothingness is expressed as it is, as an „empty salon“.

The study's aim was to check if and to what extent factors known to influence stereotyping (inhibition, facilitation), i.e., type of identity, interdependence and anxiety based on partner's high status, do interact. The study was an experimental design, where personal versus social identity was activated. Also, conditions of interdependence versus no-interdependence and anxiety versus no-anxiety were created. Stereotyping was measured by obtaining participants' reaction times while ascribing stereotypical attributes to an outgroup representative. Obtained data confirm that activation of social identity makes people more likely to use an outgroup's stereotype to describe its members, while personal identity activation (alone) diminishes this tendency. Anxiety raises tendencies to stereotype. Surprisingly, interdependence (alone) raises stereotyping rate, which contradicts previous findings. It also turned out that interdependence especially heightens stereotyping in personal identity and anxiety activation condition. The study suggests that the well-known stereotyping inhibitory and facilitating factors may bring surprising effects when we analyze their interactions.

A total of 100 candidates (equal number of males and females) aspiring for civil services were selected. The result of correlation analysis revealed that test anxiety, worry and emotionality are positively related to self-distraction and behaviour disengagement aspects of problem-focused coping as well as denial, religion, and self-blame aspects of emotion-focused coping. The test anxiety and worry are significantly related to venting, and emotionality alone is positively and significantly related to the use of emotional support aspect of emotion-focused coping and the use of instrumental support aspect of problem-focused coping. Achievement motivation has been found to be significantly and negatively related only to the humor aspect of emotion-focused coping. Relevant discussion has been presented.

Studied effect of the implicit theory (in terms of C. Dweck's entity theory and incremental theory) on the way and characteristics of coping in demanding situation in students. Effective coping is represented by coherence (SOC - Sense of Coherence, Antonovsky) and followed were also the characteristics of self-mastery and anxiety. Gender-induced differences in preference of implicit theories were not confirmed. A more effective coping (a higher level of SOC) were found in subjects preferring incremental theory, as also a higher anxiety level, particularly in women with preference for the entity theory of intelligence.

Children sensitively reflect the effect of various stress factors. One of the major stressor for school-aged children is school environment. Some personal characteristics, such as anxiety and neuroticism increase the risk of coping stressful situations associated with educational process and may lead to the development of severe mental health disorders. The goal of the study was to determine if children with high score of anxiety and neuroticism are more stressed with demanding school work in association with self-reported perception of stress and psychic discomfort and their school success. The study consisted of 87 primary school pupils aged 9-12 years. Behavioural and psychosocial determinants were assessed by questionnaire method. Personal characteristics were evaluated by specialized psycho-diagnostic tests (B-J.E.P.I., KSAT, IQ test – Colored progressive matrices, Questionnaire of subjective feelings and states). The mean values of personal characteristics exceeded the norm in the parameter of neuroticism. Comparing the genders boys showed significantly higher score of extraversion and girls tented to be more anxious and had significantly better school success. Almost 60% of children reported high mental load and psychic discomfort. Children with high self-reported perception of stress and psychic discomfort showed significantly high score of neuroticism and the same trend in parameter of anxiety. The total rate of anxiety was high positively correlated with the score of neuroticism. Our results confirmed the importance of the detection of anxiety and neuroticism in schoolchildren which worsen subjective perception of load and psychic discomfort. Monitoring of mental health status is important not only for coping school load, but also for prevention of severe mental disorders.

Anxiety is an inevitable part of life in contemporary society. Anxiety corrupts a person's ability to think, perceive and learn. A person suffering from anxiety usually experiences difficulties in concentrating, remembering the learned material and establishing what the necessary relations among events or people are. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main anxiety items of the students of two faculties. Factor analysis was performed to form groups of unrelated items by gathering related items in the scale and to the rank factors affecting anxiety by their importance. In accordance with the data obtained from the studies on the anxiety of engineering and medical students, factor analyses gave the following results for state anxiety: in engineering students there were units accumulated in 5 factors, in medical students there were units accumulated in 4 factors, and for trait anxiety they were in 6 factors for both. Our studies show that even if the STAI results are similar, factor analyses should be carried out and the solutions should be sought in accordance with the results. During education in the universities, causes of (state - trait) anxiety should be investigated and curriculums should be changed in order to lessen anxiety, psychological and social support units should be established and students should be prepared for the future.

The present article deals with the application of Jacques Lacan’s psycho-linguistic model of the chain of signification to the fragmented postmodern subject. Because of the inherent instability of the external as well as the internal environment of the subject, anxiety arises as a result of the fragmentation of the self, which, according to Lacan, has its basis in the interaction between the Symbolic order and the Real. Even though anxiety is a phenomenon that is impossible to evade, Lacan’s teachings, coupled with their immersion in Martin Heidegger’s understanding of the essence of technology, and the contemporary reinterpretation of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, show that the subject can teach himself to navigate the complexities of anxiety and, consequently, even learn to use it for his benefit.

The study aimed at evaluating the role of anxiety and ruminations in creating cognitive dysfunctions in depressive states. A working memory test was used as an indicator of cognitive functioning and the intensity of depression, anxiety and rumination were measured by questionnaires. The data were analyzed in time accuracy function (TAF) paradigm, which allows for carefully examination of information processing. Series of hierarchical regression analyses showed that both anxiety and ruminations are mostly related to chronometrical aspects of information processing, but in different manners. The ruminations stand for differences between depressed and controls in time needed to start processing the information effectively (the parameter A in TAF), and anxiety for differences in rate of processing (the parameter B in TAF). The results showed that anxiety and ruminations have different impact on cognitive distortions in depression. Ruminations seem to affect the available resources mainly, while anxiety impairs the ability to coordinate the ongoing information possessing.

The research study deals with the occurrence and characteristics of counterfactual thinking (CT) in a sample of 456 nurses, and relationships between this type of thinking and personality - of its characteristics, those studied were anxiety, self-esteem, rumination, reflection, curiosity, aggressiveness and depressiveness. Results showed a higher CT occurrence and higher rumination and reflection level related to higher anxiety, the relation between CT frequency and level of self-esteem was not significant. CT as a help to possible future problem solving (representing the adaptive function of CT) is mentioned by up to 77.26% of nurses. This contribution (help) is related to a higher level of curiosity and reflection and a lower level of anxiety.

The aim of the paper is an attempt to research psychological mechanisms of the placebo action (expectancy, classical conditioning and anxiety) and their relationships.The effect of negative placebo as one of the potential effects of the action of placebo administered in the guise of an adverse method or as its component is distinguished. An experiment on psychological mechanisms of negative placebo action (namely hyperalgesic) is presented. The results of the experiment show that expectations are sufficient to induce the effect of negative placebo but conditioning is not sufficient to induce this effect and have no impact on the strength of the effect induced by expectations. A significant relationship between expectations and pain anxiety was determined. It was also demonstrated that it was possible to induce the effect of negative placebo despite the lack of intentionally evoked expectations. The results support expectancy and anxiety but doesn't exclude classical conditioning as the mechanisms of negative placebo action.

The two experiments reported here are concerned with the influence of trait anxiety and other individual differences on cognitive performance using the face-in-the-crowd procedure. Participants completed questionnaires (EPQ-R; STAI; Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale) and across two experiments searched for discrepant faces in matrices of otherwise identical faces (in Experiment 1: threatening, happy, neutral targets against emotional or neutral backgrounds, and in Experiment 2: threatening, happy, sad and scheming targets against neutral distractors). The key findings from this study indicated that anxiety enhanced processing efficiency of positive emotional material when interacts with high psychoticism. Additionally, the vigilance for threatening and neutral faces was a characteristic of sanguine individuals with repressive coping while inefficient processing of threatening and neutral stimuli of non-defensive melancholic subjects. These results are discussed with reference to attentional control theory (Eysenck, Derakshan, Santos, & Calvo, 2007).
