Artificial intelligence at work: Balancing opportunity and fear in shaping employee well-being in the IT sector.

BackgroundThis study investigates the complex relationship between perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) opportunities and well-being, exploring the underlying psychological processes. Using conservation of resources theory, we examine how employees who view AI as an opportunity report better workplace well-being and show greater adaptive thinking capacity. Conversely, perceptions of unemployment risk appear to be linked to challenges in cognitive reappraisal, which, in turn, correlate with diminished well-being.ObjectiveTo assess the relationships among these constructs, including the s

Distinct roles of NPTX1 and NPTX2 in synaptic transmission of the fear memory engrams in the dentate gyrus.

BACKGROUND: The synaptic transmission of memory engrams is important for their roles in memory storage and retrieval, and can be regulated by multiple neuronal adhesion molecules. This study focuses on the roles of neuronal pentraxin (NPTX) family members (NPTX1 and NPTX2), which are biomarkers for cognitive decline, in the synaptic transmission of Fos-(F-RAM) and Npas4-(N-RAM)-dependent engrams formed during contextual fear conditioning in the dentate gyrus. METHODS: Utilizing robust activity marking (RAM) system, contextual fear conditioning, conditional knockout (cKO) technology and electr…

The role of fear of failure in the relationship between the Dark Triad personality traits and academic burnout.

Academic burnout is a growing concern among Dutch university students, with research suggesting that 59% of them experience such symptoms. This study investigated the relationship between the Dark Triad traits - psychopathy, grandiose narcissism, vulnerable narcissism, and Machiavellianism - and academic burnout, examining fear of failure as a potential mediator and gender as a moderator. It was hypothesized that all traits, except grandiose narcissism, would be positively associated with academic burnout. Moreover, it was expected that fear of failure will be a potential mediator in the effec…

Whose fears count? Legitimacy, trust and viral outbreak responses after COVID-19.

COVID-19 transformed viral outbreak response from a predominantly public health challenge into a political and security concern. Recent responses to Ebola, mpox, and other emerging infections suggest that preparedness is increasingly shaped by whose fears are prioritized in decision-making. The challenge is ensuring that competing perceptions of risk are managed in ways that are perceived as legitimate, fair, and inclusive.

Impact of teacher feedback on social working memory and associations with students' fear of evaluation in adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Social working memory (SWM) plays a vital role in cognitive processes and social interactions, and it develops rapidly during adolescence. The ability to learn from external feedback increases considerably during adolescence. Teacher feedback is one of the most important types of external feedback, however, its impact on the SWM, particularly in social emotional working memory, in adolescents and its relationship with fear of evaluation remains to be elucidated. METHODS: To address these questions, this study employed a classic facial-emotional 1-back task to examine emotional wor…

Impact of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder on the Behavioral and Multivariate Neural Correlates of Contextual Fear Learning.

BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is linked to impairments in fear learning, particularly context and safety cue discrimination. However, it remains unclear whether alterations in distinguishing threat and safety stem from trauma exposure itself or from anxiety-related pathology more generally. In this study, we used multiple control groups to disentangle the impact of PTSD on behavioral and neural indices of fear learning. METHODS: Four groups of participants were recruited: PTSD related to interpersonal violence (n = 21), trauma-exposed control (n = 46), anxiety-control (n = …

Falls and Fear of Falling in Minor Stroke Patients With Vestibular Symptoms: A Longitudinal Observational Study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although stroke survivors are known to have an increased risk of chronic balance dysfunction and falls, prospective studies focusing on long-term fall risk in mild stroke patients-especially those with acute vestibular symptoms-remain limited. This prospective study aimed to longitudinally characterize vestibular symptom resolution patterns within 1 year in minor stroke patients and identify predictors of the long-term risk of falls or fear of falling (FoF). METHODS: This prospective observational study recruited 242 patients with acute minor stroke presenting vestibul…

Global prevalence and associated factors of severe fear of childbirth: a systematic review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Fear of childbirth (FoC), particularly its severe form (tokophobia), is a significant public health concern associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. While previous meta-analyses have provided global prevalence estimates, significant knowledge gaps remain due to limited studies. This study aimed to provide an updated global prevalence estimate of severe FoC and explore sources of heterogeneity and associated risk factors. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. We searched international and Persian databases…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a home exercise program on trunk flexibility, exercise benefits/barriers perceptions, and fear of movement in individuals with nonspecific low back pain (NLBP). METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, 65 individuals with NLBP were allocated by the closed-envelope method into either a home exercise group or a control group. The home exercise group received a four-week exercise intervention, while the control group received no intervention. Assessments included a demographic data form (gender, height, weight), the Visual Analog Scale …

Распространение и связанные с этим факторы боязни развития у пациентов с сердечной недостаточностью в Китае: аналитическая оценка.

Недостаток сердца (ВФ) является сложным, многофакторным клиническим синдромом с растущей глобальной распространенностью и высокими показателями региотерапии и смертности. Боязнь прогрессирования (ПП) является общей психологической проблемой для пациентов с хроническими заболеваниями, такими, как рак и диабет. Учитывая прогрессивный характер ВЧ, ПФ может представлять не менее важную психологическую проблему для этой группы населения. Она связана с низкой степенью готовности к лечению, снижением качества жизни и более высоким риском неблагоприятных сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний и незапланирова

Comprehending and adapting to fear of cancer recurrence in geriatric gastric cancer: A call for prehabilitation pathway.

Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a psychological worry among cancer survivors, particularly among the elderly who are at risk of developing physiological and psychological vulnerabilities. In a cross-sectional survey of 264 elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients by Zhu et al, a high rate (63.64%) of clinically significant FCR was observed following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Factors affecting the high rate of FCR were a high level of self-perceived burden, lower education level, large tumour diameter, short duration of disease, and postoperative complications. They also established a va…

Mathematical modeling of the combined influence of psychological fear and imperfect vaccination on the spectrum of COVID-19.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that during an epidemic, fear can significantly influence human behavior, leading to a reduction in new infection cases. This investigation introduces an SVIRS framework that accounts for the influence of psychological fear and imperfect vaccination. The dynamic interplay between these factors opens up novel avenues for analyzing disease progression and control. After formulating the model and establishing fundamental properties such as positivity and boundedness, we derive the basic reproduction number ℛ0 and identify equilibrium points. We prove the local a…
