“…An emerging pattern from the findings is that interventions were more likely to have an impact on which institution participants attended, rather than overall attendance versus nonattendance. Bergin, Cooks, and Bergin (2007) found a significant impact on whether participants attended the sponsoring institution, but did not find a significant impact on university attendance in general. Myers et al (2004) found that Upward Bound was particularly effective in encouraging the choice of four-year (more academically prestigious) over two-year institutions, and was more effective for those whose pre-programme aspirations were lower.…”

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.

“…In addition, no significant differences were found in self-esteem and high school GPA. Furthermore, it was found that those students whose academic achievement levels were the highest in this relatively select group were not more or less likely to attend college than students with the lowest academic achievement levels (Bergin et al, 2007). Students maintained their relative academic status, with the highest achievers tending to remain the highest and the lowest achievers tending to remain the lowest.…”
