Increased risk of smoking and pain in individuals with intermittent explosive disorder in the All of Us dataset
Findings suggest that IED is associated with elevated vulnerability to both smoking and pain, independent of co-occurring depressive and anxiety disorders. These results highlight the importance of integrating tobacco cessation and pain management strategies into clinical care for individuals with IED and underscore the value of large-scale biobank data in clarifying health risks associated with psychiatric disorders
Comparing behavioral measures of aggression in the laboratory: Taylor Aggression Paradigm versus Point‐Subtraction Aggression Paradigm
Aggression refers to a wide range of behaviors with lasting individual and societal consequences. Recurrent, unplanned aggressive behavior is the core diagnostic criterion for intermittent explosive disorder (IED). In this study, we compared two behavioral measures of aggression in the laboratory: the Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) and the Point‐Subtraction Aggression Paradigm (PSAP). This sample ( n = 528) included community participants who m…
Parental separation and death during childhood as predictors of adult psychopathology: An examination of racial differences
Parental separation was a significant risk factor for adult psychopathology, but only for White participants. Parental death was not a risk factor for adult psychopathology no matter the person's race. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Identification and regulation of emotions in adults of varying weight statuses
Comparing individuals of varying weight statuses on their identification and regulation of emotions may increase our understanding of mechanisms that drive excess weight gain and highlight more precise weight regulation targets. In Study I ( N = 1333), adults with obesity had reduced self-reported attention to and repair of emotions compared to adults with overweight or normal weight. In Study II ( N = 85), adults with obesity had deficits in ass…
Development of a social emotional information processing assessment for adults (Seip‐Q)
An expanded self-report, vignette-based, questionnaire was developed to assess five components in a social emotional information processing model (SEIP: attribution, emotional response, response valuation, outcome expectancy, response efficacy, and response enactment), first in a population-based sample (n = 250) and, second in healthy control participants (n = 50) and in those with DSM-5 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED: n = 50). SEIP-Q vign…
Emotion regulation deficits in intermittent explosive disorder
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by repeated acts of affective aggression. Despite the diagnostic emphasis on the failure to control aggressive impulses, there is little research on affective processes and emotion regulation in IED; however, this research suggests possible dysfunctions in experiences of emotional intensity and lability. The hypothesis in the present study was that compared to individua…
Relationship between psychopathy, aggression, anger, impulsivity, and intermittent explosive disorder
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) in DSM-5 represents a disorder of recurrent, problematic, reactive (i.e., affective or impulsive), aggressive behavior that, over the lifetime, affects about 5-6% of individuals in the United States. While aggression is also observed in those with psychopathic personality, aggression in this context is frequently proactive rather than reactive, and neurobiological study suggests important differences between …
Hostile Attributional Bias, Negative Emotional Responding, and Aggression in Adults: Moderating Effects of Gender and Impulsivity
The current study examined the main effects of hostile attributional bias ( HAB ) and negative emotional responding on a variety of aggressive behaviors in adults, including general aggression, physical aggression, relational aggression, and verbal aggression. Effects of both externalizing (anger) and internalizing (embarrassment/upset) negative emotions were considered. In addition, the moderating roles of gender and impulsivity on the effects o…
The relationship between impulsive verbal aggression and intermittent explosive disorder
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is the sole psychiatric diagnostic category for which aggression is a cardinal symptom. IED focuses on physical aggression, but researchers have argued for the inclusion of verbal aggression (VA) (e.g., arguing, threatening) as a part of the IED criteria set. The utility of VA in identifying clinically relevant aggression, however, is unknown. IED participants were compared to individuals without a marked his…
Providing an escape option reduces retaliatory aggression
The purpose of this study was to examine whether providing an explicit means to escape future attacks by a provocative fictitious participant reduces retaliatory aggression. Using a laboratory measure of aggression (the Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm), 25 participants were given the opportunity to earn points with monetary value on a fixed ratio (FR) 100 schedule, and to subtract points from a fictitious participant on an FR 10 schedule. A…
