The present study aimed to use event-related potentials with the stop-signal task to investigate the effects of trait anxiety on inhibitory control, error monitoring, and post-error adjustments. The stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) was used to evaluate the behavioral competence of inhibitory control. Electrophysiological signals of error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) were used to study error perception and error awareness, respectively. Post-error slowing (PES) was applied to examine the behavioral adjustments after making errors. The results showed that SSRT and PES did not differ significantly between individuals with high trait anxiety (HTA) and those with low trait anxiety (LTA). However, individuals with HTA demonstrated reduced ERN amplitudes and prolonged Pe latencies than those with LTA. Prolonged Pe latencies were also significantly associated with poorer post-error adjustments. In conclusion, HTA led to reduced cortical responses to error monitoring. Furthermore, inefficient conscious awareness of errors might lead to maladaptive post-error adjustments.

To provide the basis in the psychological selection, training and competition for Chinese speed skaters. Take the speed skater of china as objective research, and make use of the CCTAI-C meter to test cognitive trait anxiety of 48 speed skaters. The article studies character of speed skater in different dimensions of anxious, and the relation of the different movement ranks, gender, competitive experience and training ages with cognitive trait anxiety. The result shows that the different movement ranks, different gender, different training years of the speed skater have significant difference respectively in the anxiety of social evaluation, the anxiety of athletics displaying level, the anxiety of preparing competition, and the anxiety of sports injury; The different competitive experience does not have the significance difference in each anxious dimension.

Bilingual and multilingual research has largely focussed on the effects of linguistic experience on general cognitive control abilities, such as inhibitory control and selective attention. However, there is a dearth of studies investigating the possible effect of emotions on executive processing. In this current study we aimed to investigate how trait anxiety and rumination may affect executive function by using behavioural and eye-tracking methods, as well as specific questionnaire used in the field of cognitive and affective sciences. Within the framework of the Attentional Control Theory (ACT), we compared a group of English monolinguals with a group of multilinguals from different linguistic backgrounds. We found that trait anxiety is a reliable predictor of decreased inhibitory control performance in bilingual but not monolingual speakers. This article has been submitted for publication in Behavioural Sciences, Special Issue: Individual Variation and the Bilingual Advantage - Factors that Modulate the Effect of Bilingualism and Cognitive Control, edited by Prof. Dr. Maurits van den Noort, Dr. Peggy Bosch, and Prof. Dr. Esli Struys. We hope this research will open new avenues for investigations that will indeed include an important dimension of our human make up: emotions.

Abstract Background Abdominal fat deposition is a key component of obesity, which is associated with an increased risk for a number of mental disorders. The current study aims to explore the relationship between body image, anxiety, food-specific inhibitory control, and emotional eating in young women with abdominal obesity. Method A total of 224 participants were recruited: 168 were non-abdominal obesity and 56 were abdominal obesity. Participants completed the following questionnaires and behavioral tests: the Body Mass Index (BMI) -based Silhouette-Matching Test (SMT), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Food Stop Signal Task (SST), the Emotional Eating Scale (EES). Results Abdominal obesity women had significantly higher levels of trait anxiety, cognitive difference, expectational difference in body image but lower self-reported emotional eating level compared to the control group. Anxiety mediated the relationship between cognitive difference of body image and depression eating in young females with abdominal obesity. In addition, only among abdominal obesity individuals, expectational difference of body image were significantly and positively correlated with food-specific inhibitory control and trait/state anxiety. Conclusion The findings suggest it is of critical importance to promote a healthy body image recognition and expectation and improve mood regulation for young females with abdominal obesity high in trait anxiety.
