Type of Resource: Journal Article

A study of worriers and non-worriers was conducted to examine the effect on the decision making process and the nature of worry-related cognition. Response time for worriers significantly increased as the situation became more ambiguous. Relaxation-based approaches were found to reduce worry and eliminate the disruption effects of worry.
