Summary: This study explores the relationship between mindfulness and state-trait anxiety among athletes prone to choking. The results show that mindfulness and resilience have a negative association with perceived stress, while perceived stress is positively associated with state-trait anxiety. Mindfulness has a positive impact on state-trait anxiety, mediated by resilience and perceived stress. It is recommended to implement mindfulness training programs for athletes to alleviate anxiety and improve performance outcomes.

Summary: Improving quality of life (QOL) after surgery is crucial, and it has been suggested that preoperative anxiety can predict postoperative health-related QOL. However, the accuracy of anxiety measurement remains problematic. This study examined the relationship between preoperative anxiety and postoperative HRQOL in lung cancer patients. The results showed that HRQOL decreased at discharge but gradually recovered over time, reaching the same level as at admission after 3 months. State anxiety at discharge was found to be associated with HRQOL.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of Mathematics Anxiety (MA) questionnaires based on the psychological state-trait anxiety model. The trait-MAQ showed two factors: unhappiness and worry, while the state-MAQ had a single factor before and after the completion of a mathematical test. The questionnaires were also found to be valid diagnostic tools for measuring MA, and revealed gender differences with males outperforming females.

Summary: Gender plays a crucial role in second language acquisition, particularly in lexicon learning. This study discovers that females are less likely to experience boredom, a negative emotion that can hinder language learning, compared to males. The findings from two experiments with a large sample of college students suggest that female participants outperform male participants in terms of word retention and boredom levels, and state boredom partially explains the gender differences in lexicon learning.

Summary: The study found that resilience mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and negative emotional symptoms, and this mediation was moderated by trait mindfulness. Specifically, individuals with high mindfulness had a weaker indirect effect of childhood trauma on negative emotional symptoms. This moderating effect was only found for males, but not for females.

Summary: Math anxiety can have negative effects on individuals' mental health and well-being, and is moderately negatively correlated with math achievement. This study found a correlation between state and trait math anxiety, which is independent of the complexity of math tasks. The study also showed that math anxiety is domain-specific and has no predictive value for performance in non-math tasks.

Summary: Attention bias is a new approach to assess animal affect, focusing on the tendency to preferentially attend to emotional stimuli and influenced by underlying affect. By using two attention bias tasks, stable individual differences in baseline social attention were revealed, but sensitivity to brief shifts in emotion state may require further investigation. The tasks showed reproducibility and potential for developing standardized protocols with animals, highlighting the importance of considering various confounding factors and life history factors in future method development.

Summary: This study found that dominant individuals in non-human primate species who were more tolerant tend to vocalize at a higher rate, while despotic species have a larger repertoire of hierarchy-related vocalizations. This suggests that primate signals evolve in relation to the nature of interactions that characterize individuals' social relationships.
