Ketamine-assisted group psychotherapy integrating cognitive processing therapy to address identity-based trauma
Findings suggest that Kindred is a feasible and promising intervention for addressing mental health symptoms of identity-based trauma among TGE adults. Integrating evidence-based psychotherapy, such as CPT, with KAP in a group setting may promote synergistic cognitive, emotional, and social mechanisms of healing while facilitating increased accessibility
Associations of Couples’ Psychedelic Use with Shared Reality and Relational Well-Being
The resurgence in research with classic psychedelics (e.g. LSD, psilocybin) underscores their potential for improved well-being; however, the interpersonal context and mechanisms of psychedelic impacts remain unknown. In a sample of 798 participants (81 couples), this survey study tested whether use of a psychedelic with a romantic partner (v. not together) was associated with couples' shared understanding (i.e. shared reality) and changes in rel…
The dyadic role of attachment in the relational maintenance of cohabitating couples during Covid-19
This study examined the role of attachment styles in relational maintenance behaviors among cohabitating couples during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a dyadic approach, the associations among anxious and avoidant attachment styles and personal and partner maintenance behaviors during the pandemic were explored. The role of COVID-related anxiety was also investigated as a potential moderator of attachment insecurity and relational maintenance b…
Illness and treatment beliefs in Kathmandu valley Nepalis under hypertensive care
The prevalence of actionable (i.e., stage 2 = BP > 140/90) hypertension among Nepalis approaches one-third in the adult population. Long-term drug treatment adherence is low. Western-developed assessment tools present an incomplete picture of the regional Nepali beliefs that guide patient treatment adherence, and the present study seeks to substantiate qualitative findings that suggest a reorientation of patient education content for more effecti…
Adverse and benevolent childhood experiences moderate the association between PTSD symptoms and suicidal ideation
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are a robust risk factor for SI. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can increase the risk for SI in the context of PTSD symptoms. Social support has been shown to buffer the impact of ACEs on SI. The current study aimed to examine the interaction between benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs), ACEs, and PTSD symptoms on SI. We administered a questionnaire to 837 undergraduate students ( M Age = 19.…
Charting Salivary Oxytocin Across an Episode of Naturally Occurring Partnered Sex
Phone or affection
The present study explored the role of phubbing, or interrupting a conversation by attending to one's cell phone instead of their communication partner, among 51 couples living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Framed by affection exchange theory, the present study examined whether phubbing was indirectly associated with relationship satisfaction via feelings of affection deprivation. The findings indicated that phubbing was associated with …
Prospective Bidirectional Relationship Between Sleep Duration and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms After Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Sleep disturbance is a "hallmark" symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Poor sleep (including short sleep) after combat-related trauma can also predict subsequent PTSD. Less is known about the association between sleep duration and PTSD symptoms when PTSD is induced by acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We examined the bidirectional relationship between sleep duration and PTSD symptoms over the year after hospital evaluation for…

Decomposing Variance in Co-Rumination Using Dyadic Daily Diary Data
It is unknown how co-rumination, or perseverating on problems or feelings with another person, unfolds in the daily lives of romantic couples. Using a variance decomposition procedure on data from a 14-day dyadic diary, we assessed how much variance in co-rumination was attributable to temporally stable and varying factors as well as whether co-rumination is better measured as a couple-level or individual-level process. Within-person, within-coup…
Stigma and the couple
Minority stress is the leading explanation for sexual minority women's (SMW) higher rates of, and heavier, alcohol use compared to heterosexual women. Little is known about how both partners' sexual minority stressors impact alcohol consumption in a dyadic context, and even less research has considered these effects at the day-level. This study utilizes dyadic daily diary data to test associations of each partner's sexual minority stress events w…
Living through the pandemic together
The present study tested several pathways detailed in the theory of resilience and relational load (TRRL) in the context of urban couples living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifty cohabitating couples completed a baseline assessment and 7 days of daily diaries. Results indicated that, the more an individual or their partner reported being communally oriented within their relationship at baseline, the greater that individual's relational…
Evidence of the Associations between Individual and Partner Autonomy Support and Physiological Stress in the Context of Conversations about Weight among Couples Who are Overweight or Obese during a 6-…
The aim of the study was to examine the impact of supportive communication on acute physiological stress responses during weight-related conversations taking place throughout a couples’ weight loss program. Participants were 47 married or cohabitating couples where each partner had a BMI of 25–40 kg/m2. Couples were randomized as a dyad into a traditional weight loss program or a program that also included training in providing support to one’s p…
Sexuality and mental health during the pandemic
The present study explored the associations among COVID-19 anxiety, sexual communication, and sexual satisfaction in couples cohabitating together during the pandemic lockdown. Forty-one couples living in three major cities in the United States completed a survey during the early months of the pandemic. Multilevel modeling revealed that individuals’ sexual communication was associated with their own, but not their partner’s, reported sexual satis…
A Dyadic Analysis Exploring the Mediating Role of Relationship Quality on Discrimination and HIV/STI Risk Among Young Black and Latino Expecting Couples
Relationship quality and objectively measured physical activity before and after implementation of Covid-19 stay-home orders
In a sample of 28 individuals cohabiting with a partner in NYC, Boston, or Chicago, this study tested whether implementation of stay-home orders to combat the spread of COVID-19 disrupted physical activity and whether high-quality romantic relationships buffered adverse effects. Participants provided FitBit data between February and October, 2020. Stay-home orders were associated with a reduction in daily step counts, B = −1595.72, p = 0.018, inc…
Covid-19 distress and interdependence of daily emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, and loneliness in cohabiting couples
Introduction: COVID-19 has had a profound impact on relationship functioning, though effects have been heterogeneous. Reasons for divergent effects on relationship functioning remain unclear. Theoretical models suggest that it is not just stress exposure that leads to adverse relationships outcomes, but also subjective response to these stressors. Using data from a 14-day intensive longitudinal study of romantic dyads, we hypothesized that COVID-…
The Prospective Association of Patient Hospitalization with Spouse Depressive Symptoms and Self-Reported Heath
After hospital discharge, patients experience a period of generalized risk for adverse mental and physical health outcomes (post-hospital syndrome [PHS]). Hospital stressors can explain these effects in patients (e.g., sleep disruption, deconditioning). Patients' partners also experience adverse outcomes following patient hospitalization, but mechanisms of these effects are unknown. The purpose of this study was to test whether greater times and …
Effect of cohabiting partners on the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms after emergency department visits for stroke and transient ischemic attack
Social Network Characteristics among Racial/Ethnic Minority Young Adult Males with Prior Criminal Justice System Involvement
Research examining social networks and delinquency risk rarely focuses on the unique period of young adulthood. Young adults who have been involved in the criminal justice system (CJS) may associate with high-risk peers or be less central in their social networks, especially in urban, low-resourced contexts. We used social network analysis to examine prior CJS involvement with network composition and centrality among racial/ethnic minority young …
Psychological distress, coping behaviors, and preferences for support among New York healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic
Anxiety Buffer Disruption
Objective: Research driven by terror management theory suggests sociocultural anxiety-buffer systems typically protect against existential anxiety, whereas anxiety buffer disruption theory suggests traumatic experiences may disrupt that process. Method: Following posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptom screening (n = 4097), individuals with low (n = 149) and high (n = 120) PTS engaged in either negative or positive self-evaluations, then reported deat…
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Response to Romantic Partner Interactions and Long-Term Cardiovascular Health Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: Lower blood pressure (BP) during romantic partner interactions may underlie the association between romantic relationships and better long-term cardiovascular health. This secondary analysis examined the effect of momentary ambulatory BP (ABP) response to partner interactions on between-person changes in left ventricular mass index and mean systolic and diastolic BP over time. METHODS: Participants were 538 married, working adults (mea…
Duration of Perseverative Thinking as Related to Perceived Stress and Blood Pressure
OBJECTIVE: Psychological distress may be intensified and prolonged by perseverative thinking (e.g., rumination, worry). The tendency to engage frequently in perseverative thinking has been linked to increased blood pressure (BP). Research is needed to investigate the physiological consequences of time spent perseverating by testing the momentary association between the duration of perseverative thinking and BP. The present study examines the exte…
Impact of food, housing, and transportation insecurity on ART adherence
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed HIV into a manageable illness. However, high levels of adherence must be maintained. Lack of access to basic resources (food, transportation, and housing) has been consistently associated with suboptimal ART adherence. Moving beyond such direct effects, this study takes a hierarchical resources approach in which the effects of access to basic resources on ART adherence are mediated through interpersona…
