Study protocol for a comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial comparing the emotion awareness and skills enhancement program to the unified protocol in autistic youth and young adults wit…
Many autistic people seek therapy for mental health concerns or to improve emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, there is limited guidance for providers on the most effective approach to improve mental health for autistic people. Therapies that target emotion dysregulation may be clinically effective and parsimonious. However, it remains unclear if emotion dysregulation interventions that were not developed for autism are effective or if interventi…
Targeted Sleep Enhancement Reduces Residual Anxiety Symptoms in Peri-Adolescents Previously Treated for Anxiety Disorders
Sexual and gender minority status predicts additional variance in posttraumatic stress disorder after accounting for conventional trauma exposure
Although tentative, these findings suggest that minority stress may be additive to trauma symptomatology in SGM individuals and therefore be an important factor to consider when assessing for and treating PTSD in this population. Future research that directly measures minority stress should be conducted to validate these findings
More time awake after sleep onset is linked to reduced ventral striatum response to rewards in youth with anxiety
BACKGROUND: Poor sleep and anxiety disorders are highly comorbid in youth, and each predicts altered ventral striatum (VS) response to rewards, which may impact mental health risk. Contrasting evidence suggests previously reported negative associations between sleep health and VS response may be stronger or weaker in youth with anxiety, indicating sensitivity to win/loss information or blunted reward processing, respectively. We cross-sectionally…
Shame-induced dissociation
The strong relationship between shame and dissociation suggests the importance of monitoring patients' affect and behavior when revisiting shame-related memories, to not reinforce dissociative reactions and inadvertently foster treatment resistance.

Are need for affect and cognition culture dependent? Implications for global public health campaigns
The Need for Affect (NFA) construct may be generalized beyond its Western origins. There was a general lack of affective and cognitive intrinsic motivation in Chinese individuals, particularly in seniors with hearing loss, compared with their American peers. These differences point to a potential challenge in framing effective messages for some cultures in the geriatric public health domain. Ideally, recognizing and understanding this challenge w…
Hurts so good
In the field of emotion regulation studies, cognitive reappraisal has been established as the preferred strategy for coping with painful negative feelings. For some, however, asking them to think more about an already distressing situation can be quite literally pulling teeth. Indeed, many people voluntarily cause themselves physical pain during upsetting situations (e.g., getting a deep tissue massage after a stressful week or hitting a punching…
Attention to Peer Feedback Through the Eyes of Adolescents with a History of Anxiety and Healthy Adolescents
Altered Gamma-Band Activity as a Potential Biomarker for the Recurrence of Major Depressive Disorder
Background: The neurophysiological mechanisms of cognitive reactivity, the primary vulnerability factor of major depressive disorder (MDD) recurrence, remain unclear in individuals with recovered MDD (rMDD). Because gamma-band responses (GBRs) can be used to measure cognitive processing, they may also be useful for elucidating the mechanisms underlying cognitive reactivity. Identifying these mechanisms may permit the development of an index for p…
Cognitive and neural facets of dissociation in a traumatized population
Dissociative phenomena are frequently experienced by psychologically traumatized people. However, little is known about the cognitive profiles of highly dissociative traumatized individuals, and corresponding patterns of neural connectivity when attentional networks are engaged in the context of emotion. One hundred seventeen traumatized women completed the multiscale dissociation inventory (MDI) and neuropsychological testing; MDI scores were us…
Voluntary arousing negative experiences (Vane)
This study examined survey data and neural reactivity associated with voluntarily engaging in high arousal negative experiences (VANE). Here we suggest how otherwise negative stimuli might be experienced as positive in the context of voluntary engagement. Participants were recruited from customers who had already purchased tickets to attend an "extreme" haunted attraction. Survey data measuring self-report affect, expectations, and experience was…
Prefrontal Cortical Response to Negative Social Words Links Social Risk to Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence
Research suggests that altered emotion processing may be one important pathway linking social risk factors and depressive symptoms. We examined the extent to which neural response to negatively valenced social information might help to account for the relationship between social risk and depressive symptoms in youth. Forty-nine youth were scanned while identifying the emotional valence of words that connoted social status. They also completed que…
Speaking through the body
When people speak, they gesture. However, is the audience watching a speaker who is sensitive to this link? We translated the body movements of politicians into stick-figure animations and separated the visual from the audio channel. We then asked participants to match a selection of five audio tracks (including the correct one) with the stick-figure animations. The participants made correct decisions in 65% of all cases (chance level of 20%). Ma…
Avoidant Coping and Poor Sleep Efficiency in Dementia Caregivers
OBJECTIVES: Caring for a spouse with dementia is a source of chronic stress and is associated with a heightened prevalence of self-reported sleep problems. Styles and strategies for coping with stress have been associated with objective measures of sleep in non-caregiver populations. The current study evaluated relationships between caregiver coping style and sleep disturbance using in-home polysomnography. METHODS: Sixty spousal caregivers (mean…
A novel attention training paradigm based on operant conditioning of eye gaze
Inability to engage with positive stimuli is a widespread problem associated with negative mood states across many conditions, from low self-esteem to anhedonic depression. Though attention retraining procedures have shown promise as interventions in some clinical populations, novel procedures may be necessary to reliably attenuate chronic negative mood in refractory clinical populations (e.g., clinical depression) through, for example, more acti…
Depressed Adolescents’ Pupillary Response to Peer Acceptance and Rejection
Heightened emotional reactivity to peer feedback is predictive of adolescents' depression risk. Examining variation in emotional reactivity within currently depressed adolescents may identify subgroups that struggle the most with these daily interactions. We tested whether trait rumination, which amplifies emotional reactions, explained variance in depressed adolescents' physiological reactivity to peer feedback, hypothesizing that rumination wou…
Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and High-Dose Steroid Exposure on Pupillary Responses to Negative Information in Pediatric Depression
OBJECTIVE: To better understand emotional information processing in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its relationship with depression. Pediatric IBD is associated with higher rates of depression than seen in other physical diseases and in community samples. In systemic inflammation, proinflammatory cytokines have been implicated in altering activity in brain regions known to affect emotion processing and emotion regulation in depres…
Cardiovascular Reactivity to Acute Psychological Stress Following Sleep Deprivation
OBJECTIVE: Psychological stress and sleep disturbances are highly prevalent and are both implicated in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. Given the common co-occurrence of psychological distress and sleep disturbances including short sleep duration, this study examined the combined effects of these two factors on blood pressure reactivity to immediate mental challenge tasks after well-rested and sleep-deprived experimental conditions. METHO…
Chronic worry and the temporal dynamics of emotional processing
Worriers avoid upsetting thoughts yet also demonstrate vigilance for aversive emotional information. Potentially, these processes coexist but are separated in time. Individuals scoring high on a measure of chronic uncontrollable worry were compared to low scorers during valence categorization of emotional stimuli with interleaved Stroop color word trials to monitor extended effects of emotional processing. High worriers were especially fast and a…
Is There a Functional Neural Correlate of Individual Differences in Cardiovascular Reactivity
Objective: The present study tested whether individuals who differ in the magnitude of their blood pressure reactions to a behavioral stressor also differ in their stressor-induced patterns of functional neural activation. Methods: Sixteen participants (7 men, 9 women aged 47 to 72 years) were classified as high (n = 8) or low (n = 8) blood pressure reactors by the magnitude and temporal consistency of their systolic blood pressure (SBP) reaction…
