Are the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents as Effective for OCD as for Anxiety and Depression
Background : Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in youth commonly co-occurs with other affective disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression). Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the front-line treatment for OCD but may require significant adaptation to treat co-occurring symptoms or complex comorbidity patterns. Preliminary evidence suggests that the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescen…
Preventing Postpartum Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Over the Internet: An Open-Trial Pilot Study
Sociability Alcohol Expectancies Shape Predictions of Drinking Behavior and Anxiety in a Novel Affective Forecasting Task
Background: Existing work proposes that people with higher social anxiety symptoms and sociability alcohol expectancies believe alcohol can lower their anxiety. However, studies have primarily analyzed retrospective reports, not anticipatory motives. Since predictions of future emotion (i.e., affective forecasts) strongly influence behavior, it is critical to understand how people predict alcohol will influence their anxiety. Additionally, intole…
An online experimental test of the compensatory process in hoarding disorder: Reducing loneliness and its effects on object attachment
Attachment theory suggests that strong object attachment in hoarding disorder (HD) may be due to an attempt at compensating for unmet relatedness needs. We tested this compensatory process with an online experiment and hypothesized that reducing loneliness among participants with high hoarding symptoms would result in lower object attachment, and that change in loneliness would mediate the impact of an online loneliness intervention on object att…
Psychosocial and health stressors during the Covid-19 pandemic and their association with sleep quality
Objective We investigated how psychosocial and health stressors and related cognitive-affective factors were differentially associated with sleep quality during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemicMethods and Measures Adults living in Florida (n = 2,152) completed a Qualtrics survey in April-May 2020 (Wave 1). Participants (n = 831) were reassessed one month later (Wave 2; May-June 2020). At Wave 1, participants reported their level of physi…
Emotion‐related impulsivity across transdiagnostic dimensions of psychopathology
OBJECTIVE: Several dimensions have received attention for their potential role in explaining shared variance in transdiagnostic symptoms of psychopathology. We hypothesized emotion-related impulsivity, the trait-like tendency toward difficulty restraining responses to emotion, would relate to symptoms of psychopathology, with two separable dimensions of emotion-related impulsivity relating distinctly to internalizing and externalizing symptoms. M…
Emotion-Triggered impulsivity relates to speech dysfluency during high arousal states
Identifying real-world affective correlates of cognitive risk factors for internalizing disorders
Cognitive risk factors are key in the vulnerability for internalizing disorders. Cognitive risk factors modulate the way individuals process information from the environment which in turn impacts the day-to-day affective experience. In 296 young adults, we assessed two transdiagnostic, general risk factors-repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and anxiety sensitivity in a high-RNT subsample ( N = 119). We also assessed disorderand content-specific r…
Experiential avoidance and the misinterpretation of intrusions as prospective predictors of postpartum obsessive-compulsive symptoms in first-time parents
Exploring the Link Between Transdiagnostic Cognitive Risk Factors, Anxiogenic Parenting Behaviors, and Child Anxiety
Parent Distress Intolerance, Repetitive Negative Thinking, and Mental Health Service Use
Correlates of Facebook usage patterns: The relationship between passive Facebook use, social anxiety symptoms, and brooding
The Association between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the Anxiety Vulnerability Factors: Body Vigilance and Discomfort Intolerance
Individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) endorse greater negative affect, including anxiety psychopathology. To examine the role anxiety plays in the maintenance and exacerbation of IBS the links between IBS and two anxiety related constructs, body vigilance and discomfort intolerance, were examined. A non-treatment seeking college sample ( N = 476) completed measures that assessed IBS symptomatology, vigilance to bodily sensations and abi…
Assessment of obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions: Development and evaluation of the Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale.
Although several measures of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms exist, most are limited in that they are not consistent with the most recent empirical findings on the nature and dimensional structure of obsessions and compulsions. In the present research, the authors developed and evaluated a measure called the Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DOCS) to address limitations of existing OC symptom measures. The DOCS is a 20-item measure that …
