Abstract
Background: Individuals with panic disorder (PD) often exhibit a proclivity to conclude that an imminent catastrophe looms, drawing such conclusions from limited physical information. Reflection impulsivity, characterized by decision-making without adequate information, likely affects this bias. This study examines the relationship between reflection impulsivity and self-report impulsive features in individuals with PD.
Methods: Fifty patients with PD and 50 healthy controls (HC) participated to this study. Reflection impulsivity was assessed using the Information Sampling Task (IST), while trait impulsivity was measured using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). Participants also completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (P&A), and Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3).
Results: Individuals with PD exhibited higher reflection impulsivity compared to HC. Increased reflection impulsivity correlated positively with PD severity as assessed by the P&A and cognitive concerns measured by ASI-3. No significant correlations were found with physical or social concerns. PD patients had higher BIS scores than HC. Higher trait impulsivity was linked to recurrent emergency department visits among PD patients.
Discussion: The findings of this study reveal the notion of increased impulsivity among individuals with PD and its relationship with cognitive concerns, as well as recurrent visits to the emergency department stemming from panic attacks.
背景:惊恐障碍(PD)患者经常表现出一种倾向性,即从有限的物理信息中得出即将发生灾难的结论。反思冲动的特点是在没有充分信息的情况下做出决策,它可能会影响这种偏差。本研究探讨了反射冲动与帕金森病患者自我报告的冲动特征之间的关系:50名帕金森病患者和50名健康对照组(HC)参加了本研究。使用信息取样任务(IST)评估反射冲动性,使用巴拉特冲动性量表(BIS)测量特质冲动性。参与者还完成了贝克焦虑量表、恐慌和恐旷症量表(P&A)以及焦虑敏感性指数-3(ASI-3):结果:与普通人相比,帕金森病患者表现出更高的反射冲动性。反射冲动性的增加与 P&A 评估的帕金森病严重程度和 ASI-3 测量的认知问题呈正相关。与身体或社交问题无明显相关性。帕金森病患者的 BIS 评分高于 HC 患者。帕金森病患者较高的特质冲动与反复去急诊科就诊有关:本研究的结果揭示了帕金森病患者冲动性增加的概念及其与认知问题的关系,以及因恐慌发作而反复到急诊科就诊的情况。
期刊介绍:
This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
