Abstract: Background Transmission of airborne viruses can be mitigated by wearing face coverings but evidence suggests that face covering declines with the removal of relevant legislation, partly due to low automatic motivation. Purpose Test whether an intervention based on implementation intentions could support people’s automatic motivation and promote face covering during the COVID-19 pandemic. … Show more

“…The reduction in the use of NPIs continued into 2021, with a report of declines in mask wearing in the USA in states that both did and did not lift state-issued mask mandates in early 2021 [ 79 ]. Similarly, the rates of hand hygiene, mask wearing, and physical distancing declined between April and December 2021 in Belgium [ 80 ], and there was a significant decline in rates of mask wearing while at work among UK participants between May and November 2022 despite the ongoing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 [ 81 ]. In contrast, Brankston et al [ 72 ] found increasing precautionary behaviours in the context of increasing disease incidence between June and November 2020 in Canada.…”

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.
