Glück , Roxana Pittig...(et.al) Fecha de publicación: 13/08/2025 Artículo | Artículo revisado por nuestra redacción Los trastornos de ansiedad se caracterizan por una marcada tendencia hacia la evitación, incluso cuando esta conducta conlleva costos significativos o pérdidas potenciales de oportunidades, un fenómeno conocido como evitación costosa.

In anxiety disorders, approach-avoidance behavior is typically biased towards excessive, maladaptive avoidance despite costs and impairments (i.e., costly avoidance). Yet, little is known about the underlying decision dynamics that may contribute to such imbalanced behavior. The current study tested for altered temporal decision dynamics in patients with anxiety disorders compared to matched healthy controls in a task where avoiding an aversive stimulus conflicted with obtaining rewards.

2.2 Study procedure All study procedures were conducted in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki (1975, revised in 2008; World Medical Association, 2009), and were approved by the local ethics committee (GZEK 2020-31). Before completion of the online survey, the participants were informed about their anonymity, the use of the data, and their right to withdraw from participation.
