The Role of Distress Tolerance in Terms of Asthma Outcomes The Role of Distress Tolerance in Terms of Asthma Outcomes A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Psychology of the College of Arts and Sciences 2016 by Talya Alsaid-Habia B.A., University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 2012 Committee Chair: Alison C. McLeish, Ph.D. Committee: Sarah Whitton, Ph.D. & Kristen Jastrowski-Mano, Ph.D. Abstract Asthma is a chronic obstructive lung disease that affects nearly 19 million adults in the United States (CDC, 2015). If not well controlled through medical intervention, asthma can result in significant rates of morbidity and mortality. One important contributor to the negative impact of asthma is the presence of psychopathology, particularly panic psychopathology (Goodwin et al., 2010; McCauley et al., 2007). In order to better understand the association between asthma and panic psychopathology, recent literature has begun examining the role of anxiety-related cognitive risk factors in asthma outcomes. This work has primarily focused on the cognitive risk factor of anxiety sensitivity (AS; fear of arousal-related sensations; McNally, 2002) and found that higher levels of anxiety sensitivity are predictive of poorer asthma outcomes (Avallone et al., 2012; McLeish et al., 2011; McLeish et al. 2016). An important next step in this area of work is to explore associations between asthma and other anxiety-related cognitive risk factors. One such factor to examine in this regard is distress tolerance (DT), defined as an individual’s perceived or behavioral capacity to withstand distress related to aversive affective states (Simons & Gaher, 2005; Zvolensky et al., 2011). Indeed, low DT is associated with increased risk for anxiety disorders as well as greater AS (Keough et al., 2010). Therefore, the aim of the current study was to examine the unique predictive ability of self-reported global and behavioral distress tolerance, as well as tolerance of fear and anxiety in terms of asthma control, asthma- related quality of life and lung function among non-smoking adults with current asthma. (n = 61; 61.9% female, 54.8% African-American, Mage = 34.72, SD = 13.58). Results indicated that, after controlling for the effects of age, race, and anxiety sensitivity, greater self-reported DT significantly predicted better lung function (β = .39, t = 2.80, p < .01), asthma control (β = .31, t = 2.77, p < .01), and asthma quality of life (β = .27, t = 2.53, p < .05). Behavioral DT did not significantly predict asthma outcomes. Greater self-reported tolerance of fear significantly predicted better lung function, (β = .30, t = 2.28, p < .05), asthma control (β = .28, t = 2.70, p < .01), and quality of life (β = .30, t = 3.23, p < .01). Additionally, tolerance of anxiety also ii significantly predicted better lung function (β = .33, t = 2.55, p < .01), asthma control β = .23, t = 2.08, p < .05), and quality of life (β = .28, t = 2.88, p < .01). These findings suggest that developing interventions targeting DT may be an effective way to improve asthma outcomes. iii Page Intentionally Left Blank iv Table of Contents The Role of Distress Tolerance in Terms of Asthma Outcomes ........................................... 1 Asthma .................................................................................................................................... 1 Asthma and Anxiety ............................................................................................................... 2 Distress Tolerance ................................................................................................................. 4 Current Study .......................................................................................................................... 6 Method ......................................................................................................................................... 7 Participants ............................................................................................................................. 7 Measures ................................................................................................................................. 8 Procedure .............................................................................................................................. 11 Data Analytic Plan ................................................................................................................ 12 Results ...................................................................................................................................... 13 Data Screening and Preparation ......................................................................................... 13 Zero-Order Correlations ....................................................................................................... 13 Regressions .......................................................................................................................... 14 Discussion ................................................................................................................................ 16 Limitations and Future Directions ...................................................................................... 17 Clinical Implications ............................................................................................................. 18 References ................................................................................................................................ 19 v List of Tables Table 1.

TNASS-Fear Predicting Asthma Outcomes ................................................. 35 vi The Role of Distress Tolerance in Terms of Asthma Outcomes Asthma Asthma is a chronic obstructive lung disease that is characterized by inflammation of the airways and episodes of exacerbation in response to certain stimuli (American Lung Association [ALA], 2012). These airway exacerbations, or asthma attacks, consist of increased swelling of the airways, constriction of the muscles surrounding the airways, and increased mucus production, resulting in symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and coughing (ALA, 2012). Asthma affects nearly 19 million, or 1 in 12, adults in the Unites States (U.S.; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). Although rates of asthma have been declining, it is estimated that the number of individuals with asthma in the U.S. has increased by 15% in the last decade (CDC, 2015). Most recent estimates suggest that African Americans have the highest prevalence rate of asthma (11.9%), followed by Caucasians (8.1%), American Indian or Native Alaskans (9.4%) and Asian Americans (5.2%). Asthma is also more common among Hispanics than Non-Hispanics (CDC, 2015). Among adults, asthma rates are also higher in females (9.2%) than males (7.0%). If not well controlled through medical intervention, asthma can result in significant rates of morbidity and mortality. For example, individuals with asthma are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease-related death (Iribarren, Tolstykh, Miller, Sobel, & Eisner, 2012) and complications from respiratory illnesses (e.g., influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia; ALA, 2012). As a result, asthma significantly negatively impacts the healthcare system in the U.S. and beyond. Indeed, each year in the U.S. there are approximately 14.2 million physician office visits, 1.8 million emergency department visits, and 14.2 million lost workdays due to asthma (CDC, 2013). Moreover, it is estimated that healthcare expenditures related to asthma (both direct and indirect) cost the U.S. approximately $56 billion per year (CDC, 2013). Other work suggests that 1 the cost of care for asthma from a worldwide perspective exceeds the economic costs associated with treating HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis combined (Braman, 2006). Asthma and Anxiety One important contributor to the high healthcare costs associated with asthma is the presence of psychopathology, particularly anxiety psychopathology. Indeed, anxiety disorders are more common among individuals with asthma than among the general population (Goodwin, Pagura, Cox & Sareen, 2010; Opolski & Wilson, 2005; Zielinski et al., 2000). On average, 34% of individuals with asthma have an anxiety disorder, and this number is primarily driven by increased rates of panic disorder, agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety disorder (Weiser, 2007). Not surprisingly, having a comorbid anxiety disorder diagnosis adversely affects asthma. Research has consistently found that co-occurring anxiety disorders are associated with greater bronchodilator use, shortness of breath, wheezing, ED or doctor’s office visits, and frequency of asthma attacks (Lavoie et al., 2005; Goldney, Ruffin, Fisher, & Wilson, 2003; Strine, Mokdad, Balluz, Berry, & Gonzalez, 2008) as well as poorer quality of life and increased functional limitations (Lavoie et al., 2005; Lavoie et al., 2006; Mancuso, Peterson,

Nelson1 and Nicole B. Perry2 1School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX, USA 2Human Development and Family Studies, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC, USA Hostile attribution bias, a child’s tendency to interpret ambiguous social information as threatening or hostile, has been discussed as an important point in which social, emotional and cognitive information intersect. This study explores the natural changes that occur in children’shostile attributions across three grades during middle childhood and examines how emotional reactivity and self-control at third, fourth and fifth grade independently and interactively relate to these trajectories. Participants included 919 children whose mothers reported on their emotional reactivity, whose teachers reported on their self-control and who completed an attribution bias interview, all at grades 3, 4 and 5. Results revealed that among children with a greater tendency to make hostile attributions at third grade, lower self-control at third grade was associated with greater initial hostile attribution bias and less decline in biases over time. Additionally, greater emotional reactivity at fourth grade was associated with declines in these children’s hostile attributions, but only when self-control was also higher at fourth grade.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this debate with Lisa Feldman Barrett, I defend a view of emotions as biological functional states. Affective neuroscience studies emotions in this sense, but it also studies the conscious experience of emotion (‘feelings’), our ability to attribute emotions to others and to animals (‘attribution’, ‘anthropomorphizing’), our ability to think and talk about emotion (‘concepts of emotion’, ‘semantic knowledge of emotion’) and the behaviors caused by an emotion (‘expression of emotions’, ‘emotional reactions’). I think that the most pressing challenge facing affective neuroscience is the need to carefully distinguish between these distinct aspects of ‘emotion’. I view emotion states as evolved functional states that regulate complex behavior, in both people and animals, in response to challenges that instantiate recurrent environmental themes. These functional states, in turn, can also cause conscious experiences (feelings), and their effects and our memories for those effects also contribute to our semantic

Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Sara Algoe Don Baucom Barbara Fredrickson Joseph Lowman David Penn ABSTRACT R. BRANDON IRVIN: Emotional and Contextual Influences in and Altruistic Decision- Making Task (Under the direction of Joseph Lowman) Evidence suggests that the monetary offers in the Dictator Decision task are not based solely on rational decision-making nor simply cognitive judgments about what is in the participants’ immediate self-interest. Priming studies have shown that participants also use information that is not consciously available to help them make these decisions. It is likely that the participants were engaging in emotionally-based reasoning when they were primed with these non-conscious stimuli. It seems that emotional reasoning becomes integrated with the cognitive information available about the Dictator Decision task to influence participants’ decisions; these decisions do not appear rational. This study tested this assumption directly by inducing emotions, specifically gratitude and indebtedness, and manipulating the relationship context of a hypothetical recipient in an altruistic decision making task. It was hypothesized that the gratitude induction would produce an increase in monetary offers in the Dictator Decision task compared to the control and indebtedness conditions, but only when the participants were in the appropriate relationship context for giving i.e.

Downloaded from www.annualreviews.org allows people to alter or inhibit behaviors that would place them at risk for group exclusion. Self-regulation requires four psychological com- ponents. First, people need to be aware of their behavior so as to gauge it against societal norms. Second, people need to understand how others are reacting to their behavior so as to predict how others will respond to them. This necessitates a third mechanism, which detects threat, es- pecially in complex social situations. Finally, there needs to be a mech- anism for resolving discrepancies between self-knowledge and social expectations or norms, thereby motivating behavior to resolve any con- flict that exists. This article reviews recent social neuroscience research on the psychological components that support the human capacity for self-regulation.

ISSN: 1224-8398 Volume XI, No. 1 (March), 1 - 48 INVITED ARTICLE DEALING WITH FEELINGS: HOW CHILDREN NEGOTIATE THE WORLDS OF EMOTIONS AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS Susanne A. DENHAM* George Mason University, Department of Psychology, Fairfax, VA USA ABSTRACT This review details the developmental progression of emotional competence from preschool age through middle childhood, and provides extant evidence for its relation to social competence, mental health, and academic success. Intra- and interpersonal contributors to emotional competence are then detailed. Within interpersonal contributors, the relational context in which socialization takes place – whether parent-child, teacher-child, peer group, or friendship dyad – is first considered. Finally, extant information is detailed on the modeling, contingency, and teaching mechanisms of socialization of emotions within these relationships. The review ends with a discussion of hoped-for continued advances in research and applications of this vital set of abilities. KEYWORDS: emotional competence, social competence, relationships, early childhood, middle childhood. Children’s need to master emotional and social developmental tasks, in order to succeed in school, has been highlighted recently by both researchers and policy analysts (Huffman, Mehlinger, & Kerivan, 2000). In this article I seek to elucidate the key elements of emotional competence, it relation to social and academic success, and the ways in which adults and peers contribute to its development, from theoretical, research, and applied perspectives. To begin, I offer a preliminary definition of emotional competence: “Emotional competence” includes expressing emotions that are, or are not, experienced, regulating emotions in ways that are age and socially appropriate, and decoding these processes in self and others (Halberstadt, Denham, & Dunsmore, 2001).

  • 16 Emotional and Social Development in Childhood
    Emotional and Social Development 307 16 Emotional and Social Development in Childhood Susanne Denham, Maria von Salisch, Tjeert Olthof, Anita Kochanoff, and Sarah Caverly Gary and Ron are practicing soccer moves on the playground. They have all their equipment – goal, shinpads, regulation ball – and they’re having fun together. Ron shows Gary how to head the ball into the goal, both shouting, “Hurray!” But then things get complicated, changing fast, as interaction often does. Ron, thinking twice about sharing his best technique, kicks the ball ferociously away from Gary on the next play. Then Huynh, who had been watching from the sidelines, shyly asks Gary if he can join them. Simultaneously, Gary trips over a swiftly kicked ball, and slumps to the ground. And just then, Jack, the class bully, approaches, laughing at Gary’s discomfort and demanding they leave so that he and his buddies can use the field. Some- how, Gary deals with all of this. He hands the ball to Huynh, extends a hand to Ron, and calmly tells Jack, “It’s our turn now.” When the teacher calls them inside, everybody except Jack is satisfied with recess. What do emotions have to do with social development? Our example abounds with instances where emotions help determine the flow and outcome of interaction. First, behaviors of others in one’s social group often constitute antecedent conditions for a child’s emotions. When Ron became angry, it was because his goal of being “the best” was threat- ened. Huynh approached diffidently because he often had been “left out” from play.

New York, NY: Oxford University Press. 5 Empathy, Imitation, and the Social Brain Jean Decety and Andrew N. MeltzojJ 5.1 Introduction Imitation and empathy have long been studied by developmental and social psychol­ ogists. These topics now are hotbeds of interdisciplinary activity and are being influ­ enced by discoveries in cognitive neuroscience, which has begun to delineate the neural circuits that underpin these phenomena. The goal of this chapter is to bring together findings from developmental science and cognitive neuroscience on imitation and empathy. We place imitation within this larger framework, and it is also proposed to be grounded in shared motor representations between self and other (Meltzoff & Decety (2003» as well as regulated by executive functions (Decety (2006a» . Moreover, imitation has been theorized to scaffold the child's developing sense of agency, self, and self-other differentiation, which are also phenomenal characteristics involved in empathy. Thus, imitation and empathy are closely linked, but they are not under­ pinned by the identical neurological process. They are instead partially distinct, though inter-related. Studying the development and neural bases of these two abilities will enhance our understanding of both. 5.2 Infant Imitation and Foundations of Social Understanding and Empathy Human infants are the most imitative creatures in the world. Although scattered imitation has been documented in other species, Homo sapiens imitate a larger range t of behaviors than any other species, and they do so spontaneously, without any special training.

  • Feeling Like a State: Social Emotion and Identity
    Forum: Emotions and World Politics 515 doi:10.1017/S1752971914000244 Feeling like a state: social emotion and identity JONATHAN MERCER University of Washington E-mail: [email protected] Can one use emotion at anything other than the individual level of analysis? Emotion happens in biological bodies, not in the space between them, and this implies that group emotion is nothing but a collection of individuals experiencing the same emotion. This article contends that group-level emotion is powerful, pervasive, and irreducible to individuals. People do not merely associate with groups (or states), they can become those groups through shared culture, interaction, contagion, and common group interest. Bodies produce emotion that identities experience: group- level emotion can be stronger than, and different from, emotion experienced as an individual; group members share, validate, and police each others’ feelings; and these feelings structure relations within and between groups in international politics. Emotion goes with identity. Is shaming a state for its human rights abuses like shaming a toaster for burning toast? Emotion requires a biological body, and neither states nor toasters have biological bodies. The practice of naming and shaming is not targeted at states as people, but at people in states (Risse et al. 1999). Violating norms is embarrassing and when powerful norms exist, activists expose shameful behavior in an effort to change the target’s behavior. Shaming depends on social emotion (because one must be responsive to the opinions of others) and it might depend on group-level emotion. In the case of group-level emotion, shaming a state is like ‘publicly shaming museums’ to return artifacts to the country of origin (Bilefsky 2012).
