TL;DR: Examples to clinicians are provided for how to apply an inhibitory learning model of extinction to optimize exposure therapy with anxious clients, in ways that distinguish it from a 'fear habituation' approach and 'belief disconfirmation' approach within standard cognitive-behavior therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated risk perception and self-reported engagement in protective behaviours in 1591 United States-based individuals cross-sectionally and longitudinally over the first week of the pandemic.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the extent to which protective behaviors are predicted by individuals' perception of risk, and found that engagement in social distancing and handwashing was most strongly predicted by the perceived likelihood of personally being infected, rather than likelihood of transmission or severity of potential transmitted infections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide examples to clinicians for how to apply this model to optimize exposure therapy with anxious clients, in ways that distinguish it from a 'fear habituation' approach and 'belief disconfirmation' approach within standard cognitive-behavior therapy.

TL;DR: The present study addressed the symptom overlap of people meeting DSM‐IV‐TR diagnostic criteria for GAD, MDD, or both to investigate whether comorbidity might be explained by overlapping diagnostic criteria.
