There is a substantial literature relating the personality trait anxiety sensitivity (AS; tendency to fear anxiety-related sensations) and its lower order dimensions mood (i.e., internalizing) disorders. However, particularly given disorders' high comorbidity rates, it remains unclear whether AS broadly related these disorders or if shows pattern of differential relations. Meta-analyses concurrent relations with internalizing were conducted based on 117 studies 792 effect sizes. Mean Anxiety...
The original Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS) contains 11 nonoverlapping scales assessing specific depression anxiety symptoms. In creating the expanded version IDAS (the IDAS-II), our goal was to create new other important aspects disorders as well key symptoms bipolar disorder. Factor analyses IDAS-II item pool led creation seven (Traumatic Avoidance, Checking, Ordering, Cleaning, Claustrophobia, Mania, Euphoria) plus an Social Anxiety. These are internally consistent...
The present investigation employed a meta-analysis of 179 correlational studies and 37 clinical group comparison to examine the association between rumination symptoms anxiety depression. Meta-analytic correlations revealed moderate associations depression that were strongest for brooding emotion-driven rumination. Symptoms also had significant independent effects on overall However, worry partially accounted both with Those mood disorders reported more than controls, an effect was amplified...
We examined symptom-level relations between the
Previous research has shown that both depression and social anxiety--2 facets of internalizing psychopathology--are characterized by low levels extraversion/positive emotionality (E/PE). However, little is known about the relations E/PE with symptoms anxiety. This study utilized multiple measures each facet E/PE, as well anxiety symptoms. Self-report data were collected from large samples college students psychiatric outpatients. Separate factor analyses in sample revealed a 4-factor...
The authors explicated the validity of Inventory Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS; D. Watson et al., 2007) in 2 samples (306 college students 605 psychiatric patients). IDAS scales showed strong convergent relation to parallel interview-based scores on Clinician Rating version IDAS; mean correlations were .51 .62 student patient samples, respectively. With exception Well-Being Scale, also consistently demonstrated significant discriminant validity. Furthermore, displayed substantial...
Depressive and anxiety disorders are severe disabling conditions that result in substantial cost global societal burden. Accurate efficient identification is thus vital to proper diagnosis treatment of these disorders. The Inventory Depression Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS) a reliable well-validated measure provides dimensional assessment both mood disorder symptoms. current study examined the clinical utility IDAS by establishing diagnostic cutoff scores severity ranges using large mixed sample (N...
Fear and anxiety play a central role in the lives of humans other animals, there is considerable interest clarifying their nature, identifying biological underpinnings, determining consequences for health disease. Although important strides have been made over past half-century, it has become clear that our understanding remains far from complete. Here we provide roundtable discussion on nature bases fear- anxiety-related states, traits, psychiatric disorders. The discussants include...
The present investigation evaluates the relationship between coping style, dispositional hope, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) depression symptom severity in a trauma-exposed Veteran sample. Specifically, we evaluated adaptive value of emotional avoidant approach strategies perceptions hope sample 209 Veterans receiving outpatient mental health care at VA facility. Participants completed life events questionnaire inventories assessing coping, PTSD severity. Hierarchical regression...
A large body of research has found robust associations between dimensions temperament (e.g., neuroticism, extraversion) and the mood anxiety disorders. However, mood-state distortion (i.e., tendency for current state to bias ratings temperament) likely confounds these associations, rendering their interpretation validity unclear. This issue is particular relevance clinical populations who experience elevated levels general distress. The study used "trait-state-occasion" latent variable model...
Quantitative, empirical approaches to establishing the structure of psychopathology hold promise improve on traditional psychiatric classification systems. The Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology (HiTOP) is a framework that summarizes substantial and growing body quantitative evidence psychopathology. To achieve its aims, HiTOP must incorporate emerging research in systematic, ongoing fashion. In this article, we describe historical context grounding principles procedures for revising...
Existing structural analyses of emotion-regulation (ER) strategies have relied on retrospective, dispositional assessments, ignoring the within-person structure (i.e., intraindividual strategy groupings based momentary covariances) and variability in use across time contexts. We conducted multilevel exploratory factor self-reported daily 11 acceptance, behavioral avoidance, distraction, experiential expressive suppression, procrastination, reappraisal, reflection, rumination, savoring,...
Extensive research has identified various social-cognitive vulnerabilities for internalizing disorders. However, few studies have assessed multiple disorders simultaneously, so it is unclear whether these are transdiagnostic or specific risk factors. Their unique associations with also uncertain, given that they correlate strongly neuroticism and one other. Psychiatric outpatients completed self-report interview measures of six (depression, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress...
Depression has robust associations with personality, showing a strong relation neuroticism and more moderate extraversion conscientiousness. In addition, each Big Five domain can be decomposed into narrower facets. However, we currently lack consensus as to the contents of facets, idiosyncrasies across instruments; moreover, few studies have examined depression. current study, community participants completed six omnibus personality inventories; self-reported depressive symptoms were...
Prominent structural models of depression and anxiety arise from 2 traditions: (a) the tripartite/integrative hierarchical model based on symptom dimensions, (b) fear/anxious-misery diagnostic comorbidity data. The tri-level was developed to synthesize these models, postulating that narrow (disorder-specific), intermediate (fear anxious-misery), broad (general distress) factors are needed most fully account for covariation among symptoms. Although this has received preliminary support...
Distress tolerance has fuzzy boundaries with neighboring emotion regulation abilities. In the present study, we probed structure of this domain and examined its link to emotional disorder outcomes. We recruited mental health patient ( ns = 225 210) university student n 1,525) samples report on diverse components distress tolerance, dysregulation, experiential avoidance, anxiety sensitivity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor model these individual differences; broad...
: There is evidence that beliefs about emotions are important for mental health. However, this field needs further research. Via the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire, we aimed to explore latent structure of emotion beliefs, their associations with numerous constructs, and role regulation in mediating emotional problems. This cross-sectional study involved 508 general community adults an online survey, participants completed EBQ, Perth Regulation Competency Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress...
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is increasingly used by researchers from various disciplines to answer novel questions about individuals’ daily lives. Measurement best practices have long been overlooked in ESM research, and recent reviews show that item quality often not reported studies. absence of information may partly be explained the lack consensus on how should evaluated. As part Item Repository project (esmitemrepository.com) — an international open science initiative collects...
