The phrase "avoidance behavioural" is not correct in standard written English.
The correct term is "avoidance behavior," which refers to actions taken to evade certain situations or stimuli.
Example: "His avoidance behavior in social situations often led to feelings of isolation."
Alternatives: "avoidance actions" or "avoidance responses.".
In contrast, those considered less functional, such as avoidance, behavioural disengagement or denial, are associated with higher levels of distress [ 12, 13, 22, 25, 26].
Studies indicate the persistence of PTSD symptoms following childbirth, and overall evidence also indicate typical symptoms of PTSD such as re-experiencing the trauma memories, perceived threat to self or baby, avoidance behavioural strategies, hyperarousal and dissociation (Ayers et al. 2007; Stramrood et al. 2012; Boorman et al. 2013).
The fifth component, 'anxious responding', loaded highly on self-reported avoidance behaviour (Behavioural Inhibition/Activation System scale) and also on impulsive errors on the RVIP.
The behavioural inhibition system (BIS) serves to alert the person to the possibility of danger or punishment, thereby enhancing avoidance behaviour, whereas the behavioural activation system (BAS) is sensitive to signals of reward, and involved in approach behaviour.
– Behavioural therapy and activity pacing to decrease avoidance behaviours linked to pain and promote physical activity and meaningful activities.
The following behavioural categories were measured: cognition, avoidance behaviour, risk assessment, locomotor activity, exploration, and arousal (Table 1).
Outside the perinatal literature, there is evidence that overt avoidance behaviour is a transdiagnostic process for which behavioural activation (replacing patterns of avoidance with adaptive patterns) has been an effective treatment [ 28].
A few early behavioural studies have distinguished this freezing behaviour from other SC-guided orientation and avoidance behaviours, and considered it as a more particular defensive response to a potential threat24,40.
Thus, while observed behavioural side-biases during substrate-foraging and copulation are common in birds, we did not see such side-bias expressed in obstacle avoidance behaviour in flight.
Secondary outcome measures included avoidance during behavioural avoidance tasks (BAT), global functioning and self and parent reported anxiety, fear and depression.
Thus, only a distinct subpopulation (i.e. the 'susceptible' mice) displays social avoidance and behavioural signs of anhedonia, while all exposed animals ('susceptible' and 'unsusceptible' mice) show elevated corticosterone levels and increased anxiety-like behaviour 31.
