To do so, used temporal network analysis unfold between core paranoia-related mechanisms, such self-esteem, sadness, feeling close others, experiential avoidance....
Paranoid ideas are the most common abnormal beliefs in schizophrenia spectrum, also prevalent non-clinical populations, and highly correlated with other mental health problems such as anxiety, depression low levels of well-being.

The aims this study are: 1) explore...

Transdiagnostic group cognitive behavioural therapy (TD-GCBT) is more effective in improving symptoms and severity of emotional disorders (EDs) than treatment as usual (TAU; usually pharmacological treatment). However, there little research that has examined the effects these treatments on specific symptoms. This study used Network Intervention Analysis (NIA) to investigate direct differential TD-GCBT + TAU anxiety depression. Data are from a multicentre randomised clinical trial ( N = 1061)...
The notion of climate anxiety has gained traction in the last years. Yet uncertainty remains regarding variations across demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age) and its associations with adaptive (i.e., pro-environmental) behaviors. Moreover, point-estimate proportion people frequently experiencing seldom been probed. In this study, we assessed (including related functional impairments), along characteristics, change experience, pro-environmental behaviors, 2,080 French-speaking...
Research indicates that rumination can be viewed as a dynamic process fluctuates over time, within hours and days. An increasing number of intensive longitudinal studies on are accordingly being conducted published using experiencing sampling methodology (ESM), technique with measurements in everyday life.

Abstract In primary care centers, emotional disorders (EDs; depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders) frequently appear to be associated. However, there is no previous information on the key (bridge) symptoms that maintain comorbidity. The current study aimed identify may play a linking role in bridging comorbidity among EDs from network analysis perspective. A sample of adult patients ( N = 1704) with was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). Network applied examine...
