Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has a well-established theoretical and empirical relation with impulsivity. Prior research not used multidimensional approach for measuring both PTSD impulsivity constructs when assessing their relationship.The current study assessed the unique relationship of facets on symptom clusters among nonclinical sample 412 trauma-exposed adults.Linear regression analyses revealed that best accounted PTSD's arousal symptoms. The negative urgency facet was most...
Cyberbullying is defined as aggression intending to inflict harm on others by electronic communication technologies. has become more common social media grown and accompanied negative mental health consequences. Research cyberbullying in adolescents suggests victimization moderates the relationship between comparison anxiety, but little known about this phenomenon college students. Therefore, objective of study was explore cyberbullying, amongst A convenience sample 486 undergraduate...
Research into factors for suicide has revealed relations between trauma exposure and suicidality (e.g., Bridge, Goldstein, & Brent, ; Joiner, Sachs-Ericson, Wingate, Brown, Anestis, Selby, ) wherein painful provocative experiences nonsuicidal self-injury [NSSI]) are an important link Van Orden, Witte, Cukrowicz, Braithwaite, Smith, ). No prior research assessed the relationship functions of NSSI among childhood survivors. Participants who endorsed (N = 121; Mage 18.69, range 18-22) completed...
Abstract There has been ongoing research on the ratio of theta to beta power (Theta/Beta Ratio, TBR) as an EEG-based test in diagnosis ADHD. Earlier studies reported significant TBR differences between patients with ADHD and controls. However, a recent meta-analysis revealed marked decline effect size for difference controls published past decade. Here, we if EEG processing explain heterogeneity findings. We analyzed data from two multi-center clinical studies. Five different signal...
Depression, suicidal behaviors and substance use problems frequently co-occur, treatment for youth with these co-occurring is often fragmented challenging. An integrated cognitive-behavioral approach that builds upon a relapse prevention framework applies common core skills, language, treating related may be clinically beneficial. Following description of the approach, we present results pilot trial (n = 13) to examine acceptability feasibility Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy - Relapse...
Abstract Child sexual abuse (CSA) has serious short‐term and long‐term effects, including non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) suicidal ideation (SI). One possible thread linking CSA to NSSI suicide risk is emotion dysregulation. The current study assessed whether facets of dysregulation mediated relations behaviours functions, SI. Participants ( N = 121; Mean age 18.69, age‐range 18–22; 78 per cent female), college students with a history childhood trauma, completed an online survey. Results...
Objective: To Explore whether subtypes and comorbidities of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) induce distinct biases in cognitive components involved information processing. Method: Performance on the Integrated Visual Auditory Continuous Test (IVA-CPT) was compared between 150 children (aged 7 to 10) with ADHD, grouped by DSM-5 presentation (ADHD-C, ADHD-I) or co-morbid diagnoses (anxiety, oppositional defiant [ODD], both, neither), 60 without ADHD. Diffusion decision modeling...
Background Exploring whether cognitive components (identified by baseline testing and computational modeling) moderate clinical outcome of neurofeedback (NF) for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Method 142 children (aged 7–10) with ADHD were randomly assigned to either NF (n = 84) or control treatment 58) in a double-blind trial (NCT02251743). The group received live, self-controlled downtraining electroencephalographic theta/beta ratio power. identical-appearing reinforcement...
Both bereavement and thwarted belongingness serve as risk markers for youth suicide-related behaviors. This study examined candidate predictors of among bereaved youth, including caregiver cause death surviving coping style. A group 43 caregiver-bereaved families (58 children aged 7–13-years-old) participated in a longitudinal investigating associations between hypothesized bereavement-related contextual factors belongingness. Cause deaths included anticipated preceded by illness (37%; n =...
The present study examined the mediating effect of perceived burdensomeness (PB) and thwarted belongingness (TB) in association between childhood polyvictimization suicide ideation (past week) among 528 Hispanic college students. Nearly 10% reported polyvictimization, 19.8% had ideation, was a risk factor through PB TB. indirect stronger than Interventions should focus on TB to alleviate undergraduate
To examine cognitive effects of neurofeedback (NF) for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a secondary outcome randomized clinical trial.
A paucity of research has examined the prevalence domestic and intimate partner violence (DV/IPV) victimization among persons experiencing eviction. The current study uses administrative records for a random sample evicted adults in Omaha, Nebraska from 2017 to 2019 ( n = 306) assess DV/IPV differences no groups. Findings indicated over 20% experienced victimization, often preceded first disproportionately impacted Black women. Implications regarding compounding consequences eviction...
