Health Care Journeys of Veterans With Gulf War Illness
BACKGROUND: There is an acknowledged need to improve care for patients with persistent physical symptoms. Veterans who served in the 1990-91 Gulf War are a subpopulation of U.S. military Veterans who have been struggling with persistent physical symptoms for decades. The current study sought to characterize Veterans' historic path through the health care system and current experience of care to identify opportunities to improve care. METHODS: Ana…
She thought the same way I that I thought: ’ A qualitative study of patient-provider concordance among Gulf War Veterans with Gulf War Illness
Objective: Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), such as chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and Gulf War Illness (GWI), are difficult to treat. Concordance—shared understanding between patient and provider about illness causes, course, and treatment—is an essential component of high-quality care for people with MUS. This qualitative paper focuses on the experiences of United States military Veterans living with GWI who have endur…
Predicting implicit and explicit exercise identity from descriptive social norms regarding exercise
OBJECTIVES: Exercise identity may promote exercise maintenance. However, less is known about factors that affect exercise identity. Whether descriptive social norms are potential intervention targets for identity development was evaluated. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design using data from the Attitudes, Identities, and Individual Differences (AIID) study was employed - with additional cases collected to increase sample size and power - to evaluate…
US military veterans’ perceived concordance with their providers regarding persistent physical symptoms prospectively predicts satisfaction with care and adherence to care plans
BACKGROUND: Medically unexplained, persistent physical symptoms and syndromes are commonly seen in primary care. These are debilitating for patients and difficult to treat, causing frustration for patients and providers. PURPOSE: This study investigates how well US military veterans with multiple persistent physical symptoms (PPS), called Gulf War illness (GWI), agree with their healthcare providers about their illness. This agreement, called per…
Contrasting constructs or continuum? Examining the dimensionality of body appreciation and body dissatisfaction
Individuals experiencing body dissatisfaction have poorer health outcomes in part due to engaging in less physical activity. Body appreciation is protective of health behaviors and proposed to be conceptually different from body dissatisfaction. Two studies evaluated whether body appreciation and dissatisfaction represented two distinct dimensions, and whether body appreciation and dissatisfaction would interact in their effect on activity-relate…

Symptom attribution to a medically unexplained syndrome is associated with greater perceived severity and bothersomeness of symptoms in US military veterans
Objective Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are prevalent among veteran and non-veteran populations. Current biopsychosocial theory implicates a multitude of factors in MUS development and perpetuation. The current study tests whether physical symptom attribution to MUS is associated with perceived symptom severity and bothersomeness and thereby might function to perpetuate MUS, as suggested by existing theory.Design and main outcome measures …
Transdisciplinary Translational Science for Youth Health and Wellness: Introduction to a Special Issue
Source-Orientation and Avoidance/Approach-Orientation are Important Components of Introjected Regulation for Leisure-Time Physical Activity
Introjected regulation has been inconsistently linked to physical activity, which may be due to it being an umbrella construct for different types of introjected regulation that have the potential to be differentially related to behavior. We evaluated (1) whether self-oriented approach, self-oriented avoidance, other-oriented approach, and other-oriented avoidance were distinct constructs from one another and from identified regulation, and (2) w…
Empirical Evaluation of Veterans’ Perceived Nonconcordance With Providers Regarding Medically Unexplained Symptoms
Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are common among veterans and are difficult to treat. Optimal treatment entails continued care from providers, including primary care and counseling psychologists. Non-concordance between veterans' and providers' views of MUS may contribute to poor veteran satisfaction with care and possibly disengagement with care (e.g., non-adherence to treatment recommendations, including counseling and graded exercise). Th…
Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms: Why Counseling Psychologists Should Care About Them
Medically unexplained symptoms and syndromes (MUS) affect the health of 20%-30% of patients seen in primary care. Optimally, treatment for these patients requires an interdisciplinary team consisting of both primary care and mental health providers. By developing an expertise in MUS, counseling psychologists can improve the care of patients with MUS who are already in their practice, expand the number of patients they help, and enhance the integr…
Revisiting the Power Pose Effect: How Robust Are the Results Reported by Carney, Cuddy, and Yap (2010) to Data Analytic Decisions
The literature on the impact of expansive poses on biological and psychological variables is characterized by discrepant findings. These discrepant findings may, in part, be a function of differences in how data were analyzed. In this article, we use multiverse analysis to examine whether the findings reported in the original paper by Carney, Cuddy, and Yap are robust to plausible alternative data analytic specifications: outlier identification s…
The Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM): A dynamic framework for understanding illness self-management
A meta-analytic review of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire
Consistent Behavior Development: Is a Personal-Rule or a Deliberation-Based Strategy More Effective
The development of consistent health behaviors is important for chronic illness prevention and management. The current study experimentally compared two strategies--a personal-rule and a deliberation strategy--designed to help participants consistently perform their intended behaviors over a 7-week period in a real-world setting. Although the personal-rule strategy had theoretical support from behavioral economics and empirical support from both …
