OverviewAI-generated summary
Matt R. Judah's research program investigates the neural and psychological underpinnings of anxiety and related disorders, with a particular focus on social anxiety and attentional control. His work has explored the factor structure and validation of psychological assessment tools, such as the Attentional Control Scale. Judah has examined how factors like depression, social anxiety, and interpersonal relationships influence suicide risk and ideation, and has investigated the moderating role of humor style in these relationships.
His research has also delved into the neural correlates of social anxiety, utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) to study inhibitory processes and attentional shifting. Judah has examined the impact of working memory load on attentional bias in social anxiety and has investigated neural responses to social feedback, such as maternal praise and criticism, in relation to depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents.
With a career h-index of 22 and over 1,656 citations across 79 publications, Judah is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Hannah C. Hamrick, Morgan Middlebrooks, Benjamin Swanson, and Russell Mach, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Judah also maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research activities.
