1. 1. Social anxiety and threat perception : An event-related potential study

   Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Författare :Adithi Sutradhar; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Late positive potential; FWHR; social anxiety; threat perception;

   Sammanfattning : The late positive potential (LPP) is an event-related potential (ERP) component associated with increased affective processing which seems to strongly respond to threats and to be sensitive to emotional faces. Some studies indicate that the LPP is modulated by anxiety symptoms, while others fail to find support for these observations. LÄS MER

3. 2. Threatening Measures, at Face Value : Electrophysiology Indicating Confounds of the Facial Width-to-Height Ratio

   Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Författare :Carl Lindersson; [2019]
   Nyckelord :threat perception; evolutionary cues; fWHR; LPP; overgeneralisation hypothesis;

   Sammanfattning : Previous studies support that the relative width of the upper face (facial width-to-height ratio; fWHR) has evolved to signal threat, but these studies rely greatly on subjective facial ratings and measurements prone to confounds. The present study objectively quantifies threat perception to the magnitude of the observers’ electrophysiological reaction, specifically the event-related potential (ERP) called the late positive potential (LPP), and investigate if brow height and jaw width could have confounded previous fWHR studies.
