While Open Science practices are highly desirable to advance the credibility and accessibility of knowledge gained through research, they not as common in clinical psychology many might hope. This paper presents an overview how implement procedures psychotherapy research. We will address frequently encountered challenges present different ways deal with sensitive topics within specific field. steps towards while planning a study, during data collection preparation publication, for...
Objective We tested whether people with schizophrenia and prominent expressive negative symptoms ( ENS ) show reduced facial expressions in face‐to‐face social interactions this reduction explains evaluations of these persons. Method compared participants high n = 18) low 30) healthy controls 39). Participants engaged an affiliative role‐play that was coded for the frequency positive expression rated performance skills willingness future respective partner. Results showed significantly fewer...
This study investigated the relative associations of psychosis proneness symptom domains with habitual interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) use in a sample young adults (n = 420, age 18-29). Multiple regression models showed that attenuated negative symptoms were related to using less, while positive and depression more IER. These findings suggest symptom-specific IER patterns across different dimensions proneness.
Abstract Background Emotion-regulation is assumed to be impaired in psychosis: patients with psychotic disorders (PD) self-report use reappraisal less frequently than healthy controls (HC), but it uncertain whether they are also successful applying reappraisal. Moreover, has not been investigated the habitual of associated ability successfully. Methods To address these questions, PD ( n = 60), a clinical control group anxiety (AD; 40) and HC completed questionnaires on emotion-regulation...
Psychological models of the consequences ostracism (i.e. being socially excluded and ignored) negative symptoms in schizophrenia suggest that repeatedly experiencing can lead to elevated levels amotivation, anhedonia, asociality symptoms). We tested this assumption a prospective study, following up large multi-national community sample from Germany, Indonesia, United States (N = 962) every four months over one year. At each assessment points (T0 - T3), participants rated their recent...
People with schizophrenia show marked reductions in their emotional expressiveness, generally known as blunted affect. In this study, we tested whether interaction partners would evaluate community-dwelling participants less favorably than healthy controls and difference be explained by reduced smiling behavior related to schizophrenia. We also deficient affect recognition predict smiling. created 3 study groups, consisting of 28 each, (SZ), (HC), naive (IP). IP engaged 2 separate same-sex...
Die Negativsymptomatik stellt einen der bedeutendsten Prädiktoren für Einschränkungen im Funktionsniveau von Menschen mit Schizophrenie dar. Allerdings wird dieser Symptombereich weitgehend als nicht behandelbar wahrgenommen. In diesem Artikel hinterfragen wir dieses Vorurteil, indem die Ergebnisse existierenden Wirksamkeitsstudien Behandlungsprogramme zusammenstellen. Wir beschränkten uns bei unserer systematischen Literatursuche ausschließlich auf Studien, primäres Behandlungsziel...
Abstract Purpose Emotion regulation is a complex process that often involves the presence of others, also known as interpersonal emotion (IER). However, little about how psychotic symptoms relate to IER. We investigated whether young adults with elevated psychosis proneness engage in IER less frequently and find it helpful than those low proneness. Methods Psychosis-prone attenuated negative (PP-NES, n = 37) positive (PP-POS, 20) psychosis-prone control group (CG, 52) were recruited based on...
People with schizophrenia and negative symptoms show diminished net positive emotion in low-arousing contexts (diminished positivity offset) co-activate more frequently (increased ambivalence). Here, we investigated whether offset increased ambivalence covary along the continuum of psychotic symptoms. We conducted an online-study ad-hoc community sample (N = 261). Participants self-reported on (negative symptoms, depression, anhedonia) rated positivity, negativity, arousal elicited by...
Background: Jumping to conclusions (JTC) and overconfidence in errors are well established individuals with a liability psychosis. Experimental research suggests that subjecting dilemmas doubt prompts subsequent hardening of attitudes may foster delusion-like convictions. For the present study, we examined whether this compensatory conviction process is exaggerated psychosis might part explain JTC overconfidence.Methods: A large sample participants from general population were screened for...
Abstract We examined the association between causal attributions and self-reported motivational negative symptoms (amotivation) in a German online community sample ( n = 251). Bivariate correlations revealed significant associations amotivation attribution of success to external, variable, specific causes. No failure were found. Our data suggest that demotivational could be feature promising target for research intervention.
Open science practices are gaining increasing importance. However, applying open in one's research can be challenging. And yet, it is becoming increasingly necessary to take a stance on this. To support our colleagues clinical psychology and motivate them apply these their research, we describe here how the use of benefits or benefit practice provide some perspective why believe that consistent with good scientific ethical standards profession. In addition, discuss calls for increased...
