  • Unraveling psychosis risk in sexual minorities

    Open AccessMargaux Sageot, Robin Achterhof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that sexual minorities are at higher risk for psychotic experiences, possibly due to repeated social defeat experiences. However, empirical research investigating this hypothesis is largely lacking. This study examined how experiences of "feeling excluded" and "not belonging" impact the prospective development of psychotic experiences in an adolescent sexual minority group, defined here as non-heterosexual a…

  • Social disconnectedness in psychosis

    Zeynep Akcaoglu, Thomas Vaessen et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Psychology2025

    Research increasingly highlights the importance of social disconnectedness for the development of psychosis. However, the perspective of individuals with psychosis remains largely underexplored. At present, there is also no comprehensive view of the role of social processes throughout different phases of psychosis development. The current study aims to investigate 1) how individuals with a psychotic disorder experience social disconnection and 2)…

  • Everyday paranoia in social context across diagnostic boundaries

    Jakub Januška, Robin Achterhof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2025

    Introduction: Changes in paranoia are often linked to altered social functioning. Everyday paranoia interacts with the current social environment, both in patients with psychotic disorders and in healthy individuals. This study focused on outpatients with various mental health diagnoses as well as healthy controls to investigate the effect of social context on momentary paranoia. Methods: Thirty-seven patients with schizophrenia, depression, or b…

  • Investigating the impact of acceptance and commitment therapy for mental healthcare professionals

    Open AccessKim Helmus, Kim L Helmus et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Preliminary results suggest that a brief ACT training for MHCP might heighten their awareness and contribute to reduction of their stigmatizing attitudes and behavior, leading to less application of self-stigmatizing beliefs in their patients

  • Understanding appropriation of digital self-monitoring tools in mental health care – an implementation pilot

    Open AccessLena de Thurah, Glenn Kiekens et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Digital health technologies are predicted to increasingly dominate public health as a means of delivering care, collecting and sharing health-related data, and enabling individuals to manage their health. While new digital interventions to support healthcare delivery are constantly being developed, many struggle to move beyond piloting and trialing and reach real-life integration. The evaluation of digital technologies often focuses on quantifiab…

  • Practitioner perspectives on the use of the experience sampling software in counseling and clinical psychology

    Jeroen Weermeijer, Glenn Kiekens et al.ARTICLEBehaviour and Information…2024

    Facilitating the uptake and making better use of technological advances will be pivotal for counseling and clinical psychology to respond to the rising call for more community-based and person-centred care. While the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), a structured self-report digital diary, could help facilitate this transition, it is currently unclear how practitioners envision using ESM in clinical practice. Therefore, we organised focus groups …

  • Changes in adolescents’ daily-life solitary experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessEva Bamps, Robin Achterhof et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This study shows that adolescents' daily-life solitary experiences worsened throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. There should be continued concern for the wellbeing of all adolescents, not only those already at risk, as effects of the pandemic on mental health might only manifest later

  • Perceived disturbance and predictors thereof in studies using the experience sampling method

    Open AccessAki Rintala, Martien Wampers et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

  • The role of identity in the development of depressive, anxiety, and psychosis symptoms in adolescents exposed to childhood adversity

    Open AccessCeline Samaey, Aleksandra Lecei et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2023

    INTRODUCTION: Childhood adversity is a major risk factor for psychiatric disorders and has especially been associated with an admixture of depressive, anxiety, and psychosis symptoms. Identity formation, a main developmental task during adolescence, may be impacted by these adverse experiences and act as an important process in the association between childhood adversity and psychopathology. METHODS: We investigated the association between childh…

  • Coping and sleep quality in youth

    Open AccessNoëmi Hagemann, Olivia J Kirtley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2023

    INTRODUCTION: Sleep quality is closely linked with mental health. Two factors that influence sleep are coping style and locus of control, yet these have not been investigated in daily life. In this study, we examined associations between coping styles and sleep quality in daily life and the potential mediating effect of daily locus of control in a sample of youth, a group particularly vulnerable to developing psychopathology. METHODS: Three hundr…

  • Investigating two mobile just-in-time adaptive interventions to foster psychological resilience

    Open AccessSophie Bögemann, Antje Riepenhausen et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2023

    The DynaM-INT study intends to advance the field of resilience research by feasibility-testing two new mechanistically targeted JITAIs that aim at increasing individual stress resilience and identifying predictors for successful intervention response. Determining these predictors is an important step toward future randomized controlled trials to establish the efficacy of these interventions

  • The Effects of Sampling Frequency and Questionnaire Length on Perceived Burden, Compliance, and Careless Responding in Experience Sampling Data in a Student Population

    Open AccessGudrun Eisele, Hugo Vachon et al.ARTICLEAssessment2022

    Currently, little is known about the association between assessment intensity, burden, data quantity, and data quality in experience sampling method (ESM) studies. Researchers therefore have insufficient information to make informed decisions about the design of their ESM study. Our aim was to investigate the effects of different sampling frequencies and questionnaire lengths on burden, compliance, and careless responding. Students ( n = 163) rec…

  • Stay Home, Drink at Home? A Daily Diary Study on College Students’ Alcohol and Social Media Use during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Robyn Vanherle, Sebastian Kurten et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2022

    BACKGROUND: COVID-19 and measures to contain it may have impacted college students' behavior, including their drinking behavior. Students' drinking may have decreased-for example, due to the closure of bars-but problematic drinking may have increased-for example, due to (solitary) drinking at home. Another behavior that has increased due to COVID-19 and the accompanying social isolation is students' social networking site (SNS) use. This is worri…

  • Adolescents’ real-time social and affective experiences of online and face-to-face interactions

    Open AccessRobin Achterhof, Olivia J Kirtley et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2022

  • The relationship between daily positive future thinking and past-week suicidal ideation in youth

    Open AccessOlivia J Kirtley, Ginette Lafit et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Reduced positive future thinking has been associated with suicidal ideation and behavior in adults, and appears to be exacerbated by negative affect. Yet, this has received little attention in youth. Prior research has also focused on longer-term future thinking, e.g., months and years, and relied on lab-based assessments. Using the experience sampling method (ESM), we investigated whether short-term future thinking in daily life was associated w…

  • Identifying Clusters of Adolescents Based on Their Daily-Life Social Withdrawal Experience

  • Be(com)ing social

    Robin Achterhof, Maude Schneider et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2022Cited by: 1References: 11

    Parents are known to provide a lasting basis for their children's social development. Understanding parent-driven socialization is particularly relevant in adolescence, as an increasing social independence is developed. However, the relationship between key parenting styles of care and control and the microlevel expression of daily-life social interactions has been insufficiently studied. Adolescent and young adult twins and their nontwin sibling…

  • Daily-Life Social Experiences as a Potential Mediator of the Relationship Between Parenting and Psychopathology in Adolescence

    Open AccessRobin Achterhof, Olivia J Kirtley et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Adolescence is a vulnerable period for psychopathology development, and certain parenting styles are consistent and robust predictors of a broad range of mental health outcomes. The mechanisms through which maladaptive parenting styles affect the development of psychopathology are assumed to be largely social in nature. Yet, the social mechanisms linking parenting to psychopathology are unexplored at arguably the most important level of functioni…

  • Capacity for social contingency detection continues to develop across adolescence

    Open AccessKarlijn Susanna Francisca Maria Hermans, Olivia J Kirtley et al.ARTICLESocial Development2021References: 1

    The capacity for dynamically coordinating behaviour is assumed to have largely matured in infancy. In adolescence—another sensitive period for social development—the primary focus on individual social cognition as the main driver of interaction has prevented the study of actual social interaction as behavioural coordination within dyads. From a dynamic perspective, however, capturing real‐time social dynamics is essential for the assessment of so…

  • The Impact of Covid‐19 on Adolescents’ Daily Lives

    Open AccessJulie Janssens, Julie J Janssens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2021Cited by: 8References: 4

    COVID-19 lockdown measures have profoundly impacted adolescent' daily life, with research suggesting an increase in irritability, stress, loneliness, and family conflict. A potential protective factor is parent-child relationship quality; however, no studies have investigated this. We used data from SIGMA, a longitudinal, experience sampling cohort study, in which N = 173 adolescents aged 11 to 20 were tested before and during COVID-19. Multileve…

  • Fluctuations in Affective States and Self-Efficacy to Resist Non-Suicidal Self-Injury as Real-Time Predictors of Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors

    Open AccessGlenn Kiekens, Penelope Hasking et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    This study provides preliminary evidence that affective fluctuations may uniquely predict NSSI thoughts but not NSSI behaviors, and point to the role of personal belief in the ability to resist NSSI in preventing NSSI behavior. These findings illustrate the need to differentiate between the development of NSSI thoughts and the progression from NSSI thoughts to behavior, as these are likely distinct processes, with different predictors
