This article introduces the special section on experience sampling methods and ecological momentary assessment in clinical assessment. We review conceptual basis for (ESM; Csikszentmihalyi & Larson, 1987) (EMA; Stone Shiffman, 1994). Next, we highlight several advantageous features of ESM/EMA as applied to psychological research. provide a brief overview articles this section, each which focuses 1 following major classes disorders: mood disorders dysregulation (Ebner-Priemer Trull, 2009),...
The dynamics of psychopathological symptoms as a topic research has been neglected for some time, likely because the inability cross-sectional and retrospective reports to uncover ebb flow symptoms. Data gathered with experience sampling method (ESM) enable researchers study symptom variability instability over time well dynamic interplay between environment, personal experiences, ESM data can illuminate these processes, if is both considered integrated into (a) question itself, (b)...
We describe the current use and future promise of an innovative methodology, ambulatory assessment (AA), that can be used to investigate psychological, emotional, behavioral, biological processes individuals in their daily life. The term AA encompasses a wide range methods study people natural environment, including momentary self-report, observational, physiological. emphasize applications integrate two or more these methods, discuss smart phone as hub access point for AA, methodology...
We discuss three varieties of affective dynamics (affective instability, emotional inertia, and differentiation). In each case, we suggest how these should be operationalized measured in daily life using time-intensive methods, like ecological momentary assessment or ambulatory assessment, recommend time-sensitive analyses that take into account not only the variability but also temporal dependency reports. Studies explore are associated with psychological disorders symptoms reviewed,...
Background Advancing evidence-based, tailored interventions for substance use disorders (SUDs) requires understanding temporal directionality while upholding ecological validity. Previous studies identified loneliness and craving as pivotal factors associated with alcohol consumption, yet the precise of these relationships remains ambiguous. Objective This study aims to establish a smartphone-based real-life intervention platform that integrates momentary assessment into everyday life. The...
Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are known to use nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a dysfunctional strategy regulate intense emotions. The primary purpose of this study was clarify the motives for NSSI along their interrelations. We further investigated variety emotions preceding and possible effects on these To end, structured self-rating questionnaire administered 101 female BPD-patients exhibiting NSSI. Most patients reported multiple were more likely compound than...
Background. Although affective instability is an essential criterion for borderline personality disorder (BPD), it has rarely been reported as outcome criterion. To date, most of the studies assessing state in BPD using paper-pencil diaries did not find indications this characteristic, whereas others studies, findings were conflicting. Furthermore, pattern that characterizes yet identified. Method. We assessed states 50 female patients with and healthy controls (HC) during 24 hours their...
Background Clinical experience suggests that people with borderline personality disorder often meet criteria for attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD). However, empirical data are sparse. Aims To establish the prevalence of childhood and adult ADHD in a group women to investigate psychopathology experiences those without ADHD. Method We assessed seeking treatment ( n =118) ADHD, co-occurring Axis I II disorders, severity symptomatology traumatic experiences. Results Childhood (41.5%)...
Convergent experimental data, autobiographical studies, and investigations on daily life have all demonstrated that gathering information retrospectively is a highly dubious methodology. Retrospection subject to multiple systematic distortions (i.e., affective valence effect, mood congruent memory duration neglect; peak end rule) as it based (often biased) storage recollection of memories the original experience or behavior are interest. The method choice circumvent these biases use...
A substantial proportion of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients respond by a marked decrease psychopathology when treated with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). To further enhance the rate DBT-response, it is useful to identify characteristics related unsatisfactory response. As DBT relies on emotional learning, we explored whether dissociation—which known interfere learning— predicts poor response DBT. Fifty-seven (DSM-IV) were prospectively observed during three-month...
Objective: According to DSM‐IV criteria, dissociative symptoms in borderline personality disorder (BPD) occur response stress. Empirical evidence is, however, lacking. Method: Using ambulatory monitoring, we assessed and subjective ratings of stress every 60 min for 48 h on a palmtop computer BPD‐patients ( n = 51), clinical controls (CC; major depression 25; panic 26), healthy (HC; 40). Data analyses were primarily based hierarchical linear models. Results: In all groups, states increased...
Affective instability is a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD).The use advanced assessment methodologies and appropriate statistical analyses has led to consistent findings that indicate heightened in patients with BPD compared healthy controls.However, few studies have investigated the specificity affective among regard relevant clinical control groups.In this study, 43 BPD, 28 posttraumatic stress (PTSD), 20 bulimia nervosa
Several meta-analyses have investigated the association between physical activity and affective states found evidence suggesting that exercise exerts a positive effect on state. However, in this field of research, most studies conducted between-subject analyses. Nonetheless, there is more interest within-subject associations momentary everyday life. This position statement pertains to up-and-coming research provides methodological recommendations for further studies. The paper divided into...
