Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Matt R. Judah's research investigates the intersection of psychological states, emotional regulation, and neural activity, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, and attentional processes. His work has explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on college students, examining factors such as loneliness, boredom, and repetitive negative thinking in relation to mental health outcomes. Judah has also investigated the role of specific emotion regulation strategies, like cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, in moderating the association between social anxiety and depression. His studies utilize electrophysiological measures, such as electroencephalography (EEG), to examine brain activity, including the late positive potential and reward positivity, in response to affective stimuli and in the context of worry and attentional biases.

Further research by Judah has focused on the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and generalized anxiety disorder, highlighting the moderating role of attentional control. He has also contributed to evaluations of mental health training programs, such as suicide prevention training for university health service providers. Judah's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 22, with 72 total publications and 1,562 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Hannah C. Hamrick, Morgan Middlebrooks, Russell Mach, and Benjamin Swanson.
