<i>Background</i>. In managing finances, people need to process various financial texts containing math (e.g., amount of money and mathematical concepts) and financial information (e.g., funds and bonds). Such information could trigger anxiety related to math and finance; however, previous literature has rarely investigated the prediction role of contextual anxiety on financial management behavior. Therefore, the current study examined how math anxiety and financial anxiety are related to individuals’ financial management behavior assessed by self-report and objective observation, respectively. <i>Methods</i>. Study 1 investigated 186 employees with the math anxiety scale, financial anxiety scale, and financial management behavior scale to explore how math anxiety and financial anxiety predicted financial management behavior. Study 2 used a “choice/no choice” paradigm to observe how the high (<span class="inline_break"><svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="17.789pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" id="M1" height="8.55521pt" version="1.1" viewBox="-0.0498162 -8.34882 17.789 8.55521"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><path id="g113-111" d="M495 86L479 114C446 82 419 66 409 66C401 66 401 72 406 97C420 166 436 231 453 297C489 435 454 448 428 448C406 448 384 439 354 422C305 394 222 327 161 247H159L183 345C200 415 194 448 173 448C143 448 82 410 23 351L38 325C64 349 95 371 105 371C111 371 116 365 109 336L25 -4L31 -12C50 -4 77 3 107 9C119 69 132 122 145 168C197 254 321 381 370 381C387 381 393 374 378 305L329 95C309 17 320 -12 345 -12C372 -12 430 19 495 86Z"/></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,10.158,0)"><path id="g117-34" d="M535 323V373H52V323H535ZM535 138V188H52V138H535Z"/></g></svg><span class="irelop"/><span class="nowrap"><svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12.679pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" height="8.55521pt" version="1.1" viewBox="21.3711838 -8.34882 12.679 8.55521"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,21.421,0)"><path id="g113-54" d="M153 550H386L412 615L406 623H120L82 318C104 327 142 338 184 338C294 338 347 275 347 187C347 112 305 39 221 39C160 39 119 71 97 89C88 97 80 96 71 90C59 80 50 67 49 57C48 45 52 36 66 23C80 9 123 -12 169 -12C221 -11 288 15 342 59C403 109 431 165 431 225C431 308 366 395 238 395C212 395 165 379 127 364L153 550Z"/></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,27.661,0)"><path id="g113-49" d="M241 635C89 635 35 457 35 312C35 153 89 -12 240 -12C390 -12 443 166 443 312C443 466 390 635 241 635ZM238 602C329 602 354 454 354 312C354 172 330 22 240 22C152 22 124 173 124 313S148 602 238 602Z"/></g></svg>)</span></span> and low (<span class="inline_break"><svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="17.789pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" id="M2" height="8.55521pt" version="1.1" viewBox="-0.0498162 -8.34882 17.789 8.55521"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><use xlink:href="#g113-111"/></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,10.158,0)"><use xlink:href="#g117-34"/></g></svg><span class="irelop"/><span class="nowrap"><svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12.679pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" height="8.55521pt" version="1.1" viewBox="21.3711838 -8.34882 12.679 8.55521"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,21.421,0)"><use xlink:href="#g113-54"/></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,27.661,0)"><path id="g113-52" d="M285 378C315 398 338 416 353 432C373 451 384 474 384 503C384 579 325 635 236 635H235C182 635 136 610 108 579L65 516L85 496C110 533 150 575 205 575C258 575 300 543 300 481C300 407 232 369 141 339L147 310C163 315 188 321 211 321C268 321 338 284 338 192C338 94 288 40 217 40C160 40 119 68 93 91C85 98 77 97 69 91C60 84 47 71 46 58C44 46 48 35 62 22C75 10 116 -12 162 -12C234 -12 424 62 424 224C424 297 373 359 285 376V378Z"/></g></svg>)</span></span> financial anxiety groups chose (or avoided) between a math task and a finance task (as a measurement of financial avoidance). <i>Results</i>.

Study 2 revealed that, compared to people with low financial anxiety, those with high financial anxiety were 2.75 times more likely to choose financial avoidance. <i>Conclusions</i>. People’s financial management behavior can be predicted by financial anxiety and math anxiety (especially the former), and the two types of anxiety seem to derive more from an irrational self-perception rather than actual ability. So, reducing financial anxiety and math anxiety should come first to motivate people to manage finances.

Math Anxiety and Financial Anxiety Predicting Individuals’ Financial Management Behavior

<i>Objective</i>. The prefrontal-limbic system is closely associated with emotion processing in both unipolar depression (UD) and bipolar depression (BD). Evidence for this link is derived mostly from task-fMRI studies, with limited support from structural findings. Therefore, this study explores the differences in the emotional circuit in these two disorders on a structural, large-scale network basis, coupled with the highly noted inflammatory and growth factors. <i>Methods</i>. In this study, 31 BD patients, 37 UD patients, and 61 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) scanning and serum cytokine sampling. The study compared cytokine levels and prefrontal-limbic network alterations among the three groups and explored potential biological and neurobiological markers to distinguish the two disorders using graph theory, network-based statistics (NBS), and logistic regression. <i>Results</i>. Compared to BD patients, UD patients showed greater s-100<i>β</i> protein levels, higher efficiency of the right amygdala, and significantly elevated prefrontal-cingulate-amygdala subnetwork intensity. Importantly, the altered prefrontal-cingulate-amygdala subnetwork, nodal efficiency of the right amygdala, IL-8, IL-17, and s-100<i>β</i> levels were risk factors for the diagnosis of UD, whereas anxiety symptoms tended to closely correlate with BD. Moreover, binary logistic regression manifested these factors achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) of 0.949, with 0.875 sensitivity and 0.938 specificity in UD vs. BD classification. <i>Conclusions</i>. These findings narrow the gap in the structural network of emotional circuits in bipolar and unipolar depression, pointing to distinct emotion-processing mechanisms in both disorders.

Characterizing Unipolar and Bipolar Depression by Alterations in Inflammatory Mediators and the Prefrontal-Limbic Structural Network

Children and adolescents are more susceptible than adults to developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Pediatric PTSD is characterized by functional alterations in brain fear circuitry, but little is known about the underlying microstructural changes; previous work has mainly focused on the corpus callosum. This study is aimed at investigating brain-wide microstructural abnormalities in pediatric PTSD, their relationship to age and sex, and their potential diagnostic value. The microstructure of major white matter tracts was assessed from diffusion tensor images acquired from 24 treatment-naive non-comorbid PTSD patients <18 years and 24 trauma-exposed non-PTSD controls (TENP) matched for age, sex, and years of education. Statistical analyses included pointwise comparisons, correlations with symptom severity, and diagnosis-by-age/sex interactions; support vector machine analyses were conducted to determine whether microstructure distinguishes PTSD from TENP. Compared with TENP, pediatric PTSD patients showed higher fractional anisotropy and lower radial diffusivity in right superior longitudinal fasciculus and lower axial diffusivity in right uncinate fasciculus. These white matter microstructural abnormalities were highly correlated with PTSD symptom severity. No significant diagnosis by age or sex interaction was observed. The pointwise axial diffusivity measurements presented the best PTSD vs. TENP classification performance. In summary, pediatric PTSD patients showed clinically relevant microstructural abnormalities in uncinate and superior longitudinal fasciculus, which extend understanding of pediatric PTSD neurobiology beyond the corpus callosum and have diagnostic potential in distinguishing stressed individuals with and without PTSD.

Characterizing White Matter Changes along Fibers in Treatment-Naive Pediatric Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

<i>Background</i>. Panic disorder (PD) is associated with suicidality. Depression has been suggested as a link between PD and suicide; however, this remains controversial. Comprehensive research on the history of suicide attempt (SA) in patients with PD is scarce. We investigated the clinical characteristics of SA in patients with PD using PD-related assessments and network approaches. <i>Methods</i>. A total of 1151 participants were enrolled, including 755 patients with PD (97 with SA (PD+SA) and 658 without SA (PD-SA)) and 396 healthy controls. The Scale for Suicide Ideation and Panic Disorder Severity, Anxiety Sensitivity Inventory, and other PD-related measures were also administered. We compared symptom severity and analyzed the pharmacological treatment response in patients with PD with and without SA. Network analysis was used to estimate the centrality, stability, and network structures of the nodes. <i>Results</i>. Our results revealed that the scores for panic and depressive symptoms, pathological worry, anxiety sensitivity, and the frequency of early trauma were significantly higher in the PD+SA group than in the PD-SA group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that short- and long-term pharmacological treatment responses were significantly poorer in the PD+SA group. Network analysis showed that fear of cognitive dyscontrol (FCD), as a cognitive aspect of anxiety sensitivity, was the central symptom through strength, expected influence (one and two steps), randomized shortest path betweenness, and eigenvector centrality measures in the PD+SA group. In contrast, depression was the central symptom of patients with PD-SA. <i>Conclusion</i>. Our study suggests that a history of SA could be associated with high panic-symptom severity and poor pharmacological treatment response in patients with PD and that FCD is the most central symptom in the PD+SA network. Central symptoms, such as cognitive aspects of AS in patients with PD+SA, may be clinically effective as potential targets for intervention in patients with PD at risk of or suffering from suicidality.

Poor Treatment Response in Panic Disorder Patients with Suicide Attempts and Their Symptom Network Characteristics

Metacognitive awareness, insight into one’s abilities, is thought to be disrupted in depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with more negative metacognitive biases and reduced awareness, respectively. However, studies have rarely examined global aspects of metacognitive awareness in depression and PTSD, instead using task-specific measures. In 467 trauma-exposed post-9/11 veterans, we administered assessments of PTSD and depression, self-report and objective measures of cognitive functioning (neuropsychological battery of memory, attention, and executive function measures), and self-report and objective measures of general health (index of five cardiometabolic factors). We used self-report/objective correlations to measure metacognitive sensitivity and 'self-report minus objective' scores to measure bias. We also examined associations between changes in metacognitive awareness and changes in PTSD and depression over time. Metacognitive sensitivity was comparable between individuals with and without PTSD and depression. However, metacognitive bias was significantly more negative in those with greater depressive symptoms (i.e., underconfidence) across cognition and health, independent of PTSD symptoms. Notably, metacognitive bias changes covaried with depressive and PTSD symptom changes two years later. This shows that, in trauma-exposed veterans, negative metacognitive biases are specifically related to depressive symptoms and these biases may be relatively domain general. Further, our longitudinal results suggest that, rather than being a stable trait, metacognitive biases change with PTSD/depressive symptoms over time.
