Computational Analysis of Gender Differences in Coping with Extreme Stressful Emotions

Development and Preliminary Italian Validation of the Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale

“…The importance of gender in the response to and recovery from disasters has been recognized as a priority by many humanitarian organizations (as indicated by Moreno and Shaw, 2018). The here reported values of greater agitation and worry in females are consistent with other studies such as that of Ziabari and Treur (2018) in which particular differences in rumination and decision making emerged: extreme emotion causes rumination in females more than in males, that generally deal with such a situation by "fighting or flying, " which means facing an extreme emotion or running away from it. According to Ziabari and Treur (2018), females generally have their own policy called "tend-and-befriend, " which means they consult the tough situation with others to find a better result in facing with the extreme emotion and acute stress.…”

“…There are numerous studies in the literature that point out that extreme and highly stressful events can have a different impact on men and women, conditioning their adaptation strategies. In Ziabari and Treur (2018) we find an interesting reference review, where it is reported that from the field of epidemiological research it has emerged that females are much more likely to get anxiety disorders than males (Arrindell and Luteijn, 2000); while a neurological perspective would have shown that females have a weaker Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) and autonomic reactivity than males (Kajantie and Phillips, 2006).…”

A Computational Model of Myelin Excess for Patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

“…The effects on the brain caused by stress for people with PTSD are the main subject of this paper. Some network-oriented models for PTSD have been published [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Literature research will be conducted to see how stress effects the brain and how regions of the brain are distorted in people with PTSD.…”

An Adaptive Cognitive Temporal-Causal Model for Extreme Emotion Extinction Using Psilocybin

“…' The use of psilocybin goes back to many years ago in religious rituals and medical usages [11]. There are several network-oriented modelings via the temporal-causal network for therapies or drugs taking to decrease the extreme emotion [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In this paper, the effect of using psilocybin has been used to demonstrate this event.…”
