Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Prabhu et al tabulated pediatric health news stories included in 108 days' worth of newscasts from 1 local channel and administered questionnaires to pediatricians and patients. 13 Dorfman et al analyzed the content of 12 days of local television newscasts across 26 channels-specifically, stories concerning youth violence. 14 Berger evaluated the degree of apprehension and judgments of victimization risk from news items in a laboratory study of reactions to tape-recorded mock news events, controlling for the nature of the story and the degree of threat.…”

“…Adolescents (12-17 years old) in the USA watch more than 20 hours of television every week (Nielsen Media Research, 1998). TV, a powerful and persuasive teacher, socializes children and teens and teaches them knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about a variety of subjects including nutrition and health (Dan, 1992; American Dietetic Association, 1997;Bandura, 1977;Prabhu et al, 1996). These lessons are not always consistent with practices parents and educators teach and in some cases these lessons can result in dangerous and destructive behavior (Medved, 1998;Anonymous, 1993;1994;1996;Willis and Strasburger, 1998).…”
