We conducted a systematic review of these studies that evaluated PR in adults with moderate-to-severe TBI, either at rest or in response to emotional, stressful, or social stimuli. We focused on the most common measures of physiological response, including heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), electrodermal activity (EDA), salivary cortisol, facial electromyography (EMG), and blink reflex.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted across six databases (PsycINFO, Psycarticles, SciencDirect, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Scopus). The search returned 286 articles and 18 studies met the inclusion criteria.ResultsDiscrepancies were observed according to the type of physiological measure. Reduced physiological responses in patients with TBI have been reported in most EDA studi...

To this aim, several databases of emotional pictures are available. However, there are only few images directly depicting interpersonal violence, which is a specific emotion evocative stimulus for research on aggressive behavior or post-traumatic stress disorder. The objective of the current study is to provide a new set of standardized stimuli containing images depicting interpersonal situations (both positive and negative). This will allow a sensitive assessment of a wide range of cognitions linked to social interaction (empathy, perspective taking, traumatic experiences, etc.). To this aim, 240 participants rated the valence and arousal of 79 pictures collected from online sources in 2018. Results showed (1) a distinctive pattern of valence and arousal regarding the picture content and (2) specific associations between those two dimensions. Taken together, these results suggest a good reliab...

In this context, promoting mental health constitutes an important target. Additional efforts for an accurate, early and objective diagnosis of mental disorders can only contribute to move forward in this direction. Classification systems—such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), edited by the American Psychiatric Association (APA)—have been developed as a common language to conduct diagnosis in the most possible form of universality. However, these atheoretical classifications lay down clinical descriptive criteria that can be open to subjective interpretation by clinicians. The APA tried to address this issue by fine-tuning the diagnostic criteria through the successive revisions of the DSM. However, each of these versions has always sparked lively debate in the community (2, 3). The explosi...

This psychiatric condition is mainly characterized by symptoms of intrusion (flashbacks), avoidance, alteration of arousal and reactivity (hypervigilance), and negative mood and cognitions persisting one month after the exposure of a traumatic event [American Psychiatric Association 2013]. Clinical observations as well as empirical research highlighted the symptom of hypervigilance as being central in the PTSD symptomatology, considering that other clinical features could be maintained by it [Ehlers and Clark 2000]. Attentional Control theory has described the hypervigilance in anxious disorders as the co-occurrence of two cognitive processes : an enhanced detection of threatening information followed by difficulties to inhibit their processing [Eysenck et al. 2007]. Nevertheless, attentional control theory has never been applied to PTSD. This project aims at providing cogn...
