Most of the party guests I'd encountered so far seemed to have ADHD or some other equally worrying condition.
It's a marketing ploy with its degree of affectation; an object of fascination to foreigners rather than a worrying condition.
Mr. President, the worrying condition of Iraq's children indicates that addressing child malnutrition in a comprehensive manner, including links with water and sanitation, will require particular attention in the recovery effort.
The FKSI-15 includes 15 items: lack of energy, bothered by side effects, pain, weight loss, bone pain, fatigue, enjoyment of life, shortness of breath, worry condition may worsen, appetite, coughing, bothered by fevers, ability to work, haematuria, and sleeping well.
"But running is always about condition, every day worrying about condition, condition, condition".
The worry condition was associated with faster responses to probes in the attended location for threat than neutral trials, t 55) = 3.10, p<0.005, d = 0.19 (Figure 1A).
The opposite was observed for the unattended location, with the worry condition accompanied by slower responses for threat than neutral trials, t 55) = 3.92, p<0.001, d = 0.23 (Figure 1B).
Mental arithmetic was selected as a control condition to contrast with the worry condition because both involve high cognitive load and at least mild emotional stress but only worry has been theoretically linked to vigilance for threat [18].
Alternatively, the degree of carry over influence from the worry induction could have been higher than from the mental arithmetic manipulation, potentially resulting in effects diminishing more rapidly for the arithmetic condition than for the worry condition.
The presence of a threat word, whether in the attended or unattended location, was followed by faster responses to a probe in the attended location during the worry condition than during the mental arithmetic control condition.
Moreover, within the worry condition, responses were faster to probes in the attended location than to probes in the unattended location, whereas no differences were observed for the mental arithmetic condition.
