Abstract
Research suggests that traditional cultural factors are protective against mental health conditions in American Indian (AI) populations. This study aims to determine if cognitive control is a neurocognitive mechanism of the protective role of spirituality in AI people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Participants self-identified as AI (n = 52) and included individuals with GAD (n = 16) and without GAD (n = 36). Electroencephalography was collected during a stop-signal task to probe cognitive control using the P3 event-related potential. Higher levels of spirituality attenuated the processing efficiency disruption among individuals with GAD as indicated by P3 amplitudes closer to that of individuals without GAD.
