An Anger-based Approach-Avoidance Modification Training Targeting Dysfunctional Beliefs in Adults with Elevated Stress – Results from a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Abstract We examined the feasibility, acceptability, and clinical potential of a smartphone-based Approach-Avoidance Modification Training (AAMT) that required users to deliberately display anger and positive emotions (AAMT-AP) to move (dys-)functional stress-related beliefs away from and towards themselves, respectively. The per protocol sample consisted of N = 30 participants randomized to an AAMT-AP condition, a swipe control condition, or an inactive control condition. Feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study design were assessed directly and changes in clinical outcomes (perceived stress (primary outcome), dysfunctional beliefs, symptoms of depression, and emotion regulation skills) one week after intervention completion. The results indicated that AAMT-AP [...]

Does Low Memory Confidence Drive Excessive Reassurance Seeking in Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder? Insights from a Novel In Vivo Study

Abstract The factors driving excessive reassurance seeking in obsessive–compulsive disorder are incompletely understood. We investigated whether low memory confidence, which drives compulsive checking, may also lead to excessive reassurance seeking during a novel in vivo contamination-based task. Undergraduates (N = 91) completed a memory test and received sham positive or negative performance feedback. Participants then viewed a complicated cleaning video and completed a corresponding cleaning task whilst their reassurance seeking was covertly coded. Afterwards, participants rated their anxiety, confidence, and experimenter responsibility for task outcomes. The novel laboratory task induced high levels of reassurance seeking from participants (median = 5 reassurance requests). There was [...]

The Validation of Affective Style Questionnaire in Turkish Culture and Mediating Role of Affective Styles on the relationship between Attachment Styles and Depression

Abstract The main purpose of this study is to adapt the Affective Style Questionnaire (ASQ) into Turkish. It also aims to examine the mediating role of affective styles between attachment styles and depression. The study was conducted on a total of three different samples (N1 = 261; N2 = 190; N3 = 263). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the construct validity of the scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) was used to test the convergent validity. As a result of the CFA conducted in all three samples, the model was found to have adequate fit values. In the convergent validity, ASQ [...]

The Influence of Hated Self on Relationships Between Metacognitive Beliefs, Self-Critical Rumination, Decentering and Psychopathology

Abstract Two studies explored whether Hated Self and Inadequate Self forms of self-criticism demonstrate different relationships to self-critical rumination (SCR), metacognitive beliefs, decentering and psychopathology. In study 1, 137 community participants experiencing SCR completed an online questionnaire battery. Self-hate was associated with higher SCR, stronger positive and negative metabeliefs about SCR, higher psychopathology and nonreactivity to internal experiences. Effects of Inadequate Self on psychopathology were fully mediated by SCR whereas Hated Self exerted direct effects on psychopathology alongside indirect effects via SCR. Study 2 explored whether higher self-hate attenuated the ability to detach from SCR triggers. Twenty-three participants received a [...]

Toward a Better Understanding of Who Is Likely to Be Susceptible to the Effects of Rumination on Obsessive–Compulsive Symptoms: An Explorative Analysis

Abstract We previously found that rumination maintains obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms. Our goal was to explore the moderating roles of three characteristics in the immediate and intermediate effects of rumination on OC symptoms: trait rumination, severity of comorbid depressive symptoms, and the tendency to misinterpret the occurrence of unwanted intrusive thoughts as meaningful. We reanalyzed our previous study’s data and explored in a sample of 145 individuals diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) whether any of the three characteristics moderated the observed immediate and intermediate effects of rumination on OC symptoms. Only the tendency to misinterpret unwanted intrusive thoughts moderated the immediate [...]

Bright Kids Who Couldn’t Care Less: How to Rekindle Your Child’s Motivation

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a new era marked by increased social anxieties among children, fostering patterns of avoidance and heightened dependence on technology. This shift has also given rise to a significant and often overwhelming sense of amotivation in both children and adolescents. In response to these challenges, Dr. Braaten delivers a comprehensive review of effective parenting strategies and exercises designed to engage these affected youth in meaningful dialogue that promotes support and encourages future success.

Changes in Rest-Activity Rhythms in Adolescents as They Age: Associations With Brain and Behavioral Changes in the ABCD Study

Adolescents with disrupted rest-activity rhythms (RAR) including shorter sleep duration, later sleep timing and low physical activity levels are at a greater risk for mental and behavioral problems. However, it remains unclear whether the same associations can be observed for within-subject changes in RAR. [...]

Reflections on Best Practices for Evidence Synthesis in Youth Mental Health for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

We read with interest the paper “Meta-analysis: The Effectiveness of Youth Psychotherapy Interventions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries” by Venturo-Conerly et al. (2023).1 The paper presents results on the effectiveness of youth psychotherapies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from a systematic review and meta-analysis using rigorous, highly regarded methods. The authors should be commended for taking on this important subject. However, we feel the paper needs to be situated in the backdrop of a few concerns that we believe are important for LMIC geographies. [...]

Dr. Venturo-Conerly et al. Reply

We thank Kumar et al.1 for their commentary on our meta-analysis of youth psychotherapies in LMICs.2 We appreciate the opportunity to elaborate on our findings and the points raised by Kumar et al. [...]
