“…Contrary to theoretical assumptions suggesting the beneficial effects of planning (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006), we did not find the effects of individual or collaborative planning on parental and child MVPA 6 months after the last intervention session. This is, however, in line with previous research involving dyads of parents and their 6-12-year-old children, showing that although an initial MVPA increase may occur, it is not sustained at 6-month follow-ups (Rhodes et al, 2019).…”

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 contrast to the current study's findings, the earlier meta-analysis conducted by Gollwitzer and Sheeran [24] reported a medium to large, pooled effect size after combining the effect sizes of 96 studies that investigated the application of II interventions for various health behaviors. A possible reason for this gap is the variation in the effects of II interventions across different health behavior changes.…”

“…Meta-analyses show that, in general, implementation intentions are effective in changing people’s behavior over sustained periods of time [ 13 , 14 ], which contrasts with the present inconclusive findings. However, in the context of a public health emergency that was abating, it is unclear whether the present study is directly comparable with previous studies of implementation intentions in relation to (for example) smoking [ 12 ] and dietary intake [ 19 ].…”
