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.

“…Closely related to the above, economic empowerment was protective against sexual IPV since empowered women were less likely to experience sexual violence. Our findings are consistent with previous studies [24,25,52] that indicated that empowered women contribute financially to household needs, get involved in decision making and have lower odds of experiencing intimate partner violence.…”

“…Studies in Bolivia and United States [28], the WHO multi-country study [46] and Uganda [40,47] Wealth status was significantly associated with physical IPV. Our finding is consistent with the pattern reported in India [28,49] and Uganda [14,16] were women with higher income and those from high socio-economic status have less odds of experiencing violence. However, this study also indicated that women in the poorer and middle wealth quintiles also had decreased odds of experiencing physical violence.…”

“…The women accept to be perpetrated by men because they have seen their fathers do the same to their mothers. The study findings are in agreement with the studies conducted by Karamagi et al (2006), Speizer (2010), Wandera et al (2015), and Kwagala and Wandera (2016) who suggested that witnessing violence as a child makes one become a perpetrator or a victim of violence in future.…”
