“…This research is among a growing number of studies investigating the impact of dispositional and cognitive factors on emotion, and the current results are consistent with those of Chung et al (2005), who found a similar additive integration of sensitivity and expectancy in the development of pain anxiety. These findings suggest that this approach may also be useful for understanding how other stress-related dispositions and expectancies are integrated to determine emotional responses to other situations.…”

“…Although IIT research involving dispositions or emotions is not new, it has only recently been used to examine how sensitivity and expectancy combine to determine emotional responses, particularly anxiety (Chung, Moore, Peterson, Katzman, & Vermani, 2005). However, the significant response variability associated with dispositional factors poses a special challenge for functional measurement and other experimental analyses.…”

Relatively little is known about the integration of people's fear-related dispositions and their expectations about stressful events. This research used information integration theory to examine how participants' anxiety sensitivity and event expectancy are integrated to determine their social anxiety. Three studies were conducted*two with university students and one with anxiety clinic patients*in which participants were presented with multiple scenarios of a socially embarrassing event, each representing a different degree of event probability, from which subjective expectancies were derived. Independent variables included anxiety sensitivity (low, moderate, high) and event expectancy (low, medium, high, no probability information). Participants were asked to indicate their anxiety (dependent measure) in each expectancy condition in this 3)4 mixed, quasiexperimental design. The results of all three studies strongly suggest that anxiety sensitivity and event expectancy are integrated additively to produce social anxiety. Additional results and their implications for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders are also discussed.

“…Although consistent with similar IIT research on anxiety (Chung et al, 2005;Kennedy et al, 2011;Moore et al, 2009), the additive integration patterns found in the present study differ from the multiplicative integration rules found in prior IIT research examining EV models in other domains (e.g., Klitzner & Anderson, 1977;Schlottmann, 2001;Shanteau, 1974). One potential explanation for this difference may be that previous EV studies using IIT had participants evaluate outcomes directly (e.g., personal worth of lottery tickets), while the current research modeled participants' dietary intentions as a function of outcome expectancies and values.…”

The expectancy-value (EV) framework is among the most prominent psychological approaches to predicting behavioral intentions. However, how expectancies and values are cognitively integrated (e.g., multiplicatively, additively or averaging) to produce intentions has yet to be tested. This research combined EV and Information Integration Theory methodologies to identify how EV integration determined dietary intentions among 80 participants (Mean age = 19.4 years, 61 females). Participants were presented with scenarios depicting three potential outcomes of junk-food consumption (weight gain, increased disease risk, and time savings). Expectancies (no information/low/medium/high) were varied within-subjects, and between-subject values were trichotomized for each outcome. Participants indicated their dietary intentions in this 3Â4 mixed design for all three outcomes. Expectancies and values were integrated additively to produce dietary intentions in the context of weight gain and disease-risk, but the integration rule for time savings could not be determined.Theoretical implications and practical applications of these results are also discussed.

“…A pain assessment schema emerges where such elements as information about a patient's illness, facial expression, and movements, together with the patient's verbalization of pain and willingness to engage in interpersonal contact coincide (Igier, Sorum, & Mullet, 2014). Pain anxiety and social anxiety schemata develop when anxiety, emotional sensitivity to a specific stimulus, and event expectancy are cognitively integrated (Chung, Moore, & Peterson, 2005;Moore, et al, 2009).…”

A major goal of evidence-based psychotherapy is to assess specific cognitive or emotional schemata and behavioral patterns associated with a particular disorder. The present study is an exploratory attempt to form a quantitative basis for this sort of clinical work in terms of Anderson's Information Integration Theory and the theory's methodological counterpart-Functional Measurement. The participants of the study' s three experiments were 24 adolescents who suffer from disruptive behavior disorders, 17 patients who suffer from a dual diagnosis (a combination of substance dependence and psychopathology), and 14 patients diagnosed as suffering from emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. The following three types of functional cognitive schemata were diagnosed: bio-psycho-social in the participants with disruptive behavior disorders; addiction in the participants with dual diagnosis, and inner speech schemata in the participants with emotional disorders. The results are presented in terms of the relative importance assigned to the components of each sort of schema. It is concluded that the study's findings exemplify the viability of the information integration as an infrastructure of a complementary psychodiagnostic tool.
