Structural Psychopathology of Conscientious Anxiety: The GoodPerson Anxiety Pattern (GPAP) within the Core Emotion Framework (CEF)

The present manuscript introduces and refines the concept of the GoodPerson Anxiety Pattern
(GPAP) as a structural subtype within the Core Emotion Framework (CEF). GPAP is characterized by
the fusion of compliance-related emotional primers and suppression of agency-related primers,
resulting in a distinctive anxiety profile marked by excessive conscientiousness, self-monitoring, and
protest signals. Drawing on theoretical foundations from affective neuroscience, embodied cognition,
and structural constructivism, the manuscript details the cluster architecture of GPAP, maps protest
signals, and proposes psychometric validation models including factor structure, fusion/suppression
indices, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Seven subtype-specific interventions are outlined,
integrating evidence-based therapeutic modalities. The clinical implications, differential diagnosis,
and recommendations for future research are discussed. Tables and figures are provided to clarify
cluster architecture, psychometric indices, and intervention strategies. Ethics and data availability
statements are included. The manuscript is formatted in accordance with APA 7th edition guidelines.
