Background: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) researchers carry assumptions about the characteristics of these therapies, and the extent to which they differ from one another. This article examines proposed differences between ACT and CBT for Generalised anxiety disorder, including aspects of treatment components, processes, and outcomes. Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders. However, not all individuals respond to treatment and many who show improvement do not maintain their gains over the long-term. Thus, alternative treatments are explored. Methods: The current study (N=30) was a three group design, comparing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Control group of participants with ICD 10 diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorder has been taken. Participants completed 12 sessions of CBT or ACT or a 12-week waiting period. Baseline assessment done with all the participants and post-treatment assessment was done after completion of the therapy sessions. Assessments consisted of clinician ratings measures. As it is a three group design so Kruskal-Wallis H test has been used for the analysis of data to examine between-group differences on outcomes measures. Result: Both treatment groups control group, with no significant differences observed between CBT and ACT on post assessment. Conclusion: Overall improvement was similar between ACT and CBT, indicating that ACT is a highly viable treatment for anxiety disorders as CBT.
The objective of the present investigation was to study the effectiveness of subliminal stimuli in reducing the probability of use of countermeasures during polygraph was considered. Further, use of countermeasures (physical) would be more for supraliminal stimuli as compared to subliminal stimuli. Purposive total samples of 79 adults with (age range between 20-28 years) were selected for the present study. Windows Based Computerised Lie Detector (CLD-118) and Aversion Therapy Instrument (MBT-498) were used in present study. For analyses of the data, Friedman Test (non-parametric) followed by Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test (non-parametric), were applied. In the present investigation the effectiveness of subliminal stimuli in deterring the execution of countermeasures was studied, revealed that subliminal stimuli acted as a deterrent to physical countermeasures. The present findings indicate that subliminal stimuli can be used as a deterrent to countermeasures (Physical) in Lie Detection.
Recent academic attention in the neuropsychological groundwork of main personality factors, along with the recognition of both personality and executive functioning (EF) as major predictors of memory related problems, suggest the requirement of examining personality-EF connections. The main intend of this study was to probe into the associations between personality traits and executive functioning (i.e. Motivational Drive, Strategic Planning, Organization, Impulse Control, and Empathy). To fulfill the purpose of the study a sample consisting of approximately 50 graduate students were taken from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak by using incidental sampling technique. The age range of the sample varied from 20 to 30 years. The participants were administered Executive Function Index (EFI) and NEO-FFI. The data was analyzed by using appropriate statistical analysis in order to delineate the relation between the variables under study. There are found positive significant associations on extraversion, openness and conscientiousness with executive functions. Neuroticism is found to be negatively correlated with executive functions. A notable contribution of Conscientiousness to executive functions among students is observed.
