Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings indicate that shoulder apprehension is more complex than a pure mechanical problem of the shoulder, showing a direct modification in functional brain networks associated with motor inhibition and emotional regulation. The current study extends these findings by investigating further structural alterations in patients with shoulder a...

In this article a measurement method of situation apprehension and outcome prediction is examined psychometrically. This method has its inspiration in Spearman’s theory of intelligence and constitutes an alternative to the concepts of situation awareness and sense making. The measurement approach of certain aspects of understanding that is examined here is specific to the decision making enviro...

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the development of treatments to help people reduce their public speaking anxiety (PSA) in a variety of circumstances. A review of literature suggests that several treatments have been found to be effective in reducing communication apprehension.

Although videoconferencing technologies perform an important function in organizational communication, many users remain apprehensive about using the medium for routine communication. The study draws on media choice theory to assess the impact of communication apprehension and participation on perceptions of task characteristics and media traits. The results demonstrate that user aversion to vi...

This paper reports research conducted as a part of a continuing program designed to provide empirical delineation of the communication apprehension construct. Five studies are reported which indicate a substantial correlation (r = .52to r = -.72) between oral communication apprehension and self-esteem. Results from two college student samples (N = 192 and N = 272), two samples of elementary and...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to compare the sensitivities and positive predictive values (PPV) of the anterior apprehension test and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of anterior labral tears in young patients with shoulder instability and to determine if surgery could be carried out without this investigation in selected patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We underto...
