Chronic pain is associated with increased disability and vulnerability to emotional disorders. Personality psychological flexibility (PF) describe interindividual differences that shape the adjustment chronic pain. Specifically, PF was found be pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression intensity. Although previous studies established strong correlations between personality outcomes, evidence on nature of this relationship scarce. Therefore, objective study explore mediating effect distress. This...
Abstract The network perspective on psychopathology suggests that mental disorders can be regarded as networks of elements influence each other. In this study, we used analysis to explore the temporal interactions anxiety and depression symptoms at level day-to-day experiences find potential explanatory pathways for their comorbidity. We collected intensive longitudinal data from a sample undergraduate students fitted Multilevel Vector Autoregressive model GAD MDD DSM-5 symptoms. “Sad mood”...
Abstract Purpose Network analysis has promised to inform clinical practice about what should be prioritised in treating different psychological disorders. However, the pure phenomenological approach adopted by network did not help advance this goal considerably. We propose a theoretical based on cognitive model of psychopathology. Method used multivariate vector-autoregression analyse networks anxious symptoms, depressive and negative automatic thoughts. In preliminary study, we identified...
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative immunological disease causing significant impairment in all life areas. Therefore, personality changes are observed and associated with higher prevalence of depression anxiety disorders. Considering this relationship, we hypothesized that clinical symptoms disorders more prevalent MS dysfunctional psychological mechanisms mediate the path from to symptoms. Methods: The study sample consisted 43 patients (age M = 41.9, SD 11.5) 31...
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most debilitating neurodegenerative diseases in youth, significantly affecting all life domains. Therefore, a strong association between MS, depression and anxiety symptoms has been established.

Network analysis conceptualises psychopathology as systems of symptoms that interact and influence each other. It is hypothesised network can identify core relevant to the diagnosis treatment disorder. We applied avoidant personality disorder DSM-5 diagnostic criteria such in a non-clinical clinical sample (N = 718, N 354). estimated networks unregularised Ising models by fitting log-linear model sample. Further on, we examined centrality indices, stability, normalised accuracy determine...

However, pure phenomenological approach that network adopted didn’t help make considerable advancements towards this goal. We propose a theoretical based on cognitive model psychopathology. More specifically, we identified most common negative thoughts preliminary study and then monitored them alongside symptoms...
Despite the latest developments of evidence-based intervention strategies, anxiety symptoms remain prevalent worldwide, and about half population in need remains without treatment. The goal this study was to examine effectiveness a low-intensity internet-delivered Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) program (Forsyt Eifert, 2016). After online screening procedure, 82 adult participants were enrolled study, randomized (2:1) into ACTive (n=55) wait-list control group (n=27). benefited from...
