A novel robotic reaching task to advance the assessment of approach-avoidance tendencies through kinematic analysis

Peer Community Journal
The investigation of approach-avoidance tendencies has traditionally relied on computer-based technologies that primarily characterise human behaviour through reaction times.

High Spider Fearfuls can Overcome their Fear in a Virtual Approach-Avoidance Conflict Task [PDF]

Journal of Depression and Anxiety, 2015
Spider-fearful persons are more reluctant to approach spiders and, if possible, tend to avoid their feared animal. These behavioural tendencies play a major role in the maintenance of their phobia.

The neurocognitive mechanism underlying math avoidance among math anxious people [PDF]

npj Science of Learning
This study explores the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying math avoidance in individuals with high math anxiety (HMA), a pattern contributing to reduced practice and poor performance.

Avoidance of emotional facial expressions in social anxiety: The Approach-Avoidance Task. [PDF]

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2007
The Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT) was employed to indirectly investigate avoidance reactions to stimuli of potential social threat. Forty-three highly socially anxious individuals (HSAs) and 43 non-anxious controls (NACs) reacted to pictures of emotional facial expressions (angry, neutral, or smiling) or to control pictures (puzzles) by pulling a ...

Rumination and implicit avoidance following bereavement: an approach avoidance task investigation. [PDF]

Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2015
Rumination, a risk factor in adjustment to bereavement, has often been considered a confrontation process. However, building on research on worry in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and rumination in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), researchers recently developed the Rumination as Avoidance Hypothesis (RAH), which states that rumination after ...

Measuring Implicit Approach–Avoidance Tendencies towards Food Using a Mobile Phone outside the Lab

Foods, 2021
Implicit (‘unconscious’) approach–avoidance tendencies towards stimuli can be measured using the Approach Avoidance Task (AAT). We recently expanded a toolbox for analyzing the raw data of a novel, mobile version of the AAT (mAAT), that asks participants

Evidence for the embodiment of the automatic approach bias

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Tendencies of approach and avoidance seem to be a universal characteristic of humans. Specifically, individuals are faster in avoiding than in approaching negative stimuli and they are faster in approaching than in avoiding positive stimuli.

Approach, avoidance, and affect: a meta-analysis of approach-avoidance tendencies in manual reaction time tasks [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Approach action tendencies toward positive stimuli and avoidance tendencies from negative stimuli are widely seen to foster survival. Many studies have shown that approach and avoidance arm movements are facilitated by positive and negative affect, respectively.

Who do I want in my team: Social avoidance of high qualified partners in depression and social anxiety

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2022
Background: Social difficulties are inherent to social anxiety and are critical in depression. A key feature in both disorders is social avoidance, which leads to the loss of opportunities and precludes from improving social abilities.

The processing of task-irrelevant emotion and colour in the Approach-Avoidance Task [PDF]

Cognition and Emotion, 2018
When processing information about human faces, we have to integrate different sources of information like skin colour and emotional expression. In 3 experiments, we investigated how these features are processed in a top-down manner when task instructions determine the relevance of features, and in a bottom-up manner when the stimulus features ...
