Habituation towards medical-related threatening content
In this study, we want to investigate the role of arousal in the processing of threatening content.
Blood-Injury-Injection Phobia Picture Database
Our goal is to create an image database where phobia-related content is grouped along these emotions.
Emotion recognition on faces and bodies in social anxiety
After examining connections between social anxiety and facial recognition, we turned our attention towards the lesser-researched field of the recognition and categorization of emotions on full-body pictures in connection with social anxiety, cognitive emotion regulation, and cognitive styles.
Why do people fear the supernatural?
The evolution of supernatural fears is an undermined field of research, therefore our main goal was to establish a potential model to explain these phenomena.
Threat anticipation in the case of Blood- Injury-Injection phobia
As part of our current project, we are conducting a behavioral study related to blood-injury-injection phobia. We would like to examine anticipatory attentional bias towards threatening content related to BII phobia.
Number matrix paradigm to investigate attentional biases for threat
We proposed a new, self-developed paradigm where participants have to search through an array, similar to a chessboard, filled with numbers starting from one to a pre-established amount, presenting every number only once.
Discovering the patterns of attention to threat using different visual search paradigms
Previous research showed that threatening stimuli have an advantage in visual processing and behavioral response.
Psychometric evaluation of specific phobia questionnaires and an epidemiological study of specific phobias
Our goal is manifold: First, to adapt well-established measurements in Hungarian and other languages and evaluate these scales on large (preferably n>2000) samples.
