We used questionnaire methods to investigate the importance of hunger, impulsive, hedonic and
sensory motivations in sadness, joy, calmness and boredom. Sadness and boredom were
accompanied by similar patterns of eating characteristics; the strongest influences were hunger
and impulsive motivations. Calm and joyful states were also accompanied by high levels of
hunger and hedonic motivations. The patterns of motivation in the two unpleasant states (boredom
and sadness) are related to earlier findings on the antecedents of binge eating. The high level of
hedonic eating motivation in the pleasant states is assumed to complement and maintain those
pleasant states.
3097.5 Attentional bias in social anxiety and repressor coping style, Arend Tibben 1 , Lynne
Harris 2 , 1 University of Western Sydney, Australia; 2 School of Behavioural & Community Health
Sciences, University of Sydney, Australia
Evidence indicates that people with social anxiety and individuals with repressor coping style
respond to threatening stimuli in opposite ways, the anxious displaying vigilance and repressors
displaying avoidance (eg, Mogg & Bradley, 2002; Mogg et al., 2000). However, the length of
exposure of stimuli (masked or unmasked) and whether stimuli are words or faces may influence
patterns of responding. The present study extends previous work by comparing people with
elevated social anxiety, elevated social defensiveness, elevated trait anxiety, and low anxiety on
masked and unmasked facial dot probe tasks. Findings are discussed in terms of models of
information processing.

3097.7 Factors leading to adolescents’ suicidal ideation in Hong Kong, Rachel C. F. Sun, The
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
This research is a mixed study with an aim to explore the factors leading to adolescents’ suicidal
ideation in Hong Kong. In Part I, a model of suicidal ideation was constructed to delineate the
simultaneous effects of family, school and peers on adolescents' self-esteem, depression and
suicidal ideation. In Part II, about fifteen adolescents with suicidal ideation were interviewed. The
empirical data collected lent support to the causal relationships presented in the model, and
explored new information for the enrichment of the model. Suggestions for future research were
discussed and practical implications were recommended.
