Cognitive theories emphasise automatic interpretation biases (AIB) in the development and maintenance of depression. The current study examined AIB using word sentence association paradigm for depression (WSAP-D) via endorsement rates reaction time indices. We directly tested importance self-relevance by modifying WASP-D task to include self-referent ambiguous stimuli contrasting them with other-referent stimuli. hypothesised that dysphoric group, but not non-dysphoric would demonstrate only...
Abstract Women are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at twice the rate of men. This gender difference may be related to differences in PTSD experiences (e.g., more hypervigilance women) or types trauma experienced interpersonal trauma). We examined whether attentional threat biases were associated gender, diagnosis, and/or type. Participants 70 civilians and veterans (38 women, 32 men; 41 PTSD, 29 without PTSD) assessed Clinician Administered Scale for DSM‐IV who completed...
Hedonic deficits are linked to protracted dysphoric affect (DA) in depression, a disorder characterised by emotion context insensitivity (ECI). Recent findings from daily life studies contradict the ECI view. This study longitudinally investigated DA across laboratory and contexts conditions associated with discrepancies reactivity. Thirty-three healthy controls 41 adults major depressive (MDD) provided responses neutral positive (a) films viewed (b) events recorded over course of three days...
In this study, we examined executive control of attention in individuals with contamination-related obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms using a modified version the Eriksen flanker task. The task indexes one's ability to resolve attentional conflict between different responses and ignore distracters.For original affective words examine effect threat-relevant stimuli on attention. Consistent research information processing biases OC symptoms, hypothesized that interference (i.e., difference...

Objective: Individuals with dual diagnoses benefit from participation in mutual-help groups, though it is unclear how much such contributes to outcomes when accounting for utilization of treatment. Methods: We used mixed-model regressions examine associations between groups reported at 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups substance use psychiatric among outpatients (N = 304), while controlling amounts disorder mental health outpatient Results: Follow-up rates were 81%, 82%, 84% 6 months, 1...
As mobile health technologies proliferate, their use during exposure-based therapies has the potential to illuminate treatment mechanisms. The primary purpose of this study was examine three approaches using continuously collected physiological data patients with posttraumatic stress disorder prolonged exposure (PE) therapy, in an effort markers response.Photoplethysmogram-measured heart rates from non-Hispanic White male veterans, clinic-based PE therapy sessions, were analyzed assess...
