Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite your original research papers and review articles for the special issue on inflexibility or perseveration as a risk for chronic stress responses, especially depression. More specifically, we welcome your submission paper regarding the relationships between inflexibility/perseveration—lower levels of coping flexibility, cognitive flexibility, emotion regulatory flexibility, psychological flexibility, and autonomic flexibility, deficits of inhibition or shifting, and rumination—and chronic stress responses. Chronic stress responses are not limited to depression and include physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms. We also welcome paper on measurements of inflexibility or perseveration and the association between concepts of inflexibility or perseveration.
In recent years, much attention has been paid to inflexibility and perseveration. Each theory and concept on inflexibility or perseveration have individually developed in different research fields, such stress and coping, cognitive science, and emotion regulation. However, in common, recent studies have provided evidence that each concept on inflexibility or perseveration lead to chronic stress responses, especially depression, which is characterized by highly recurrent disorder or illness and is preceded by chronic stressors
