“…For example, several lines of previous studies indicate that anxious children have an interpretation bias for ambiguous information, leading them to interpret ambiguous stimuli as threatening (Taghavi, Moradi, Neshat-Doost, Yule, and Dalgleish, 2000). Also, anxious children tend to interpret ambiguous scenarios as threatening and to suggest avoidant responses (Chorpita, Albano and Barlow, 1996). Another study on individual differences in children explored associations between verbal irony comprehension and shyness (Mewhort-Buist and Nielsen, 2012) and reported that shyer children ascribed a greater degree of negative attitude to speakers who made ironic criticisms.…”

The paper explores why certain adults are, or at least consider themselves to be, more ironic than others. The study looked at comprehension and application of irony compared to subjective affective evaluation of irony reported by Polish-speaking adults and with relation to nonverbal intelligence measured with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised-Polish versions (WAIS-R(PL), 2004). Fifty-four subjects aged 20-66 years (28 females and 26 males) participated in Study 1 on subjective perception of irony. The comprehension, emotional valence and social functions of ironic meanings as well as the degree to which subjects perceived themselves as ironic were assessed through a self-report questionnaire. Inter-correlations were performed and related to the performance quotient (IQ) which was measured in Study 2, where 45 (24 females and 21 males) out of the 54 participants were tested with performance subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised-Polish versions (WAIS-R(PL), 2004). The nonverbal intelligence scale was administered. Performance on nonverbal intelligence tests is not limited by language abilities and its analysis and can be considered important for future cultural comparative studies. Subjects who perceived themselves as ironic showed a higher nonverbal IQ in comparison to subjects who described themselves as non-ironic or barely ironic. The pragmatic qualities of irony were analyzed for their affective valuation and balanced for gender. Individual differences and gender effects in the perception of the social functions of ironic utterances were found. The paper describes the implicit emotional layer conveyed in irony and its importance in irony processing and comprehension.

“…One cognitive process that has been studied in relation to anxiety in the typically developing population is interpretation bias, which refers to the tendency for anxious individuals to interpret ambiguous stimuli in a threat-related way (Chorpita, Albano, & Barlow, 1996;Hadwin, Frost, French, & Richards, 1997;Muris, Rapee, Meesters, Shouten, & Geers, 2003). This is predominantly assessed using one of two methods: by examining how participants interpret words that have a threat-related and a neutral meaning (homophones such as 'dye'/'die' or homographs such as 'stroke'); or by asking participants what they would think was happening in ambiguous situations such as 'you're lying in bed at night when you hear a big crash in the house'.…”

Interpretation bias 2 AbstractWilliams Syndrome (WS) is associated with an unusual profile of anxiety, characterised by increased rates of non-social anxiety but not social anxiety ). The present research examines whether this profile of anxiety is associated with an interpretation bias for ambiguous physical, but not social, situations. Sixteen participants with WS, aged 13-34 years, and two groups of typically developing controls matched to the WS group on chronological age (CA) and mental age (MA), participated. Consistent with the profile of anxiety reported in WS, the WS group were significantly more likely to interpret an ambiguous physical situation as threatening than both control groups.However, no between-group differences were found on the ambiguous social situations.

In addition, parents who reinforce threat interpretations may exacerbate OCD symptoms (Barrett, Rapee, Dadds, & Ryan, 1996;Chorpita, Albano, & Barlow, 1996). Krohne (1990) presented a two-stage model of anxiety development, focusing on child-rearing behaviours.…”

Parenting style and obsessive‐compulsive symptoms and personality traits in a student sample

There is widespread acceptance of the idea that aspects of parenting such as overprotectiveness and perfectionism contribute to the pathogenesis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Less resolved is whether the important dimensions of parenting are overprotectiveness, lack of acceptance, authoritarian style, discouragement of risk-taking, and/or induction of guilt. It is also unclear whether different parenting characteristics are associated with the development of symptoms of OCD, compared to the traits of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). OCD symptoms and OC personality traits were measured in a non-clinical, student sample and correlated with students' report of parents' acceptance, disciplinary firmness, and psychological control (a construct which included psychological manipulation and guilt-induction). Following the literature on both clinical and subclinical OCD and OCPD, we predicted that all three scales would correlate with OCD symptoms and OCPD traits.Stepwise regression analysis revealed that psychological control was the unique predictor, controlling for depressive symptoms. Unexpectedly, a controlling parenting style was not selectively associated with classical OC symptoms or OC personality traits. Rather, psychological control was associated with a broad-spectrum of anxiety and depressive symptoms which cut across diagnostic boundaries. Findings are generally compatible with a single underlying vulnerability to both OCD and OCPD, as well as generalized/social anxiety and depressive symptoms, which can be shaped by cultural and familial factors to a specific clinical presentation.
