The mind wanders to dark places: Mind-wandering catalyzes rumination in the context of negative affect and impulsivity
Spontaneous mind-wandering has been theorized to increase susceptibility for rumination, contributing to risk for major depressive disorder (MDD). Clarifying whether-and under what circumstances-mind-wandering leads to rumination could inform the development of targeted interventions to reduce risk for ruminative sequelae. Using intensively sampled data in 44 young adults with remitted MDD and 38 healthy volunteers with 1,558 total observations c…
The daily association between affect and alcohol use: A meta-analysis of individual participant data
Influential psychological theories hypothesize that people consume alcohol in response to the experience of both negative and positive emotions. Despite two decades of daily diary and ecological momentary assessment research, it remains unclear whether people consume more alcohol on days they experience higher negative and positive affect in everyday life. In this preregistered meta-analysis, we synthesized the evidence for these daily associatio…
Combinatorial Optimization of Clustering Decisions: An Approach to Refine Psychiatric Diagnoses
Using complete enumeration (e.g., generating all possible subsets of item combinations) to evaluate clustering problems has the benefit of locating globally optimal solutions automatically without the concern of sampling variability. The proposed method is meant to combine clustering variables in such a way as to create groups that are maximally different on a theoretically sound derivation variable(s). After the population of all unique sets is …
Linking Daily-Life Interpersonal Stressors and Health Problems Via Affective Reactivity in Borderline Personality and Depressive Disorders
OBJECTIVE: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with unstable interpersonal relationships, affective instability, and physical health problems. In individuals with BPD, intense affective reactions to interpersonal stressors may contribute to the increased prevalence of health problems. METHODS: BPD (n = 81) and depressed participants (DD; n = 50) completed six daily ambulatory assessment prompts for 28 days. At each prompt, partici…
Testing the Feasibility of Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Collect Real-Time Behavior and Mood to Predict Technology-Measured HIV Medication Adherence
Ambulatory Assessment
Ambulatory assessment (AA) covers a wide range of assessment methods to study people in their natural environment, including self-report, observational, and biological/physiological/behavioral. AA methods minimize retrospective biases while gathering ecologically valid data from patients' everyday life in real time or near real time. Here, we report on the major characteristics of AA, and we provide examples of applications of AA in clinical psyc…
Refining the Notion of Maturing Out: Results From the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions
Objectives. Our aim was to determine if the decrease in drug use disorders with age is attributable to changes in persistence, as implied by the notion of maturing out. Also, we examined the association between role transitions and persistence, recurrence, and new onset of drug use disorders. Methods. We performed secondary analysis of the 2 waves of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions data (baseline assessment 200…
Personality Disorders
In this chapter we discuss the diagnosis, etiology, and pathology of personality disorders. We begin with a general discussion of the definition, clinical importance, and assessment of personality disorders. We then discuss each of the 10 DSM-IV personality disorders (i.e., paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive), considering in particular their description,…
The F ive‐ F actor M odel of Personality Disorder and DSM ‐5
The F ive‐ F actor M odel of personality disorders ( FFMPD ; W idiger & M ullins‐ S weatt, ) developed from the recognition that the popular F ive‐ F actor M odel ( FFM ) of personality could be used to describe and understand the official personality disorder ( PD ) constructs from the A merican P sychiatric A ssociation's ( APA ) diagnostic manuals (e.g., DSM‐IV ‐ TR , APA , ). This article provides an overview of the FFM , highlighting its val…
Using experience sampling methods/ecological momentary assessment (ESM/EMA) in clinical assessment and clinical research: Introduction to the special section.
This article introduces the special section on experience sampling methods and ecological momentary assessment in clinical assessment. We review the conceptual basis for experience sampling methods (ESM; Csikszentmihalyi & Larson, 1987) and ecological momentary assessment (EMA; Stone & Shiffman, 1994). Next, we highlight several advantageous features of ESM/EMA as applied to psychological assessment and clinical research. We provide a brief overv…
Analysis of affective instability in ecological momentary assessment: Indices using successive difference and group comparison via multilevel modeling.
Temporal instability of affect is a defining characteristic of psychological disorders such as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and mood cycling disorders. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) enables researchers to directly assess such frequent and extreme fluctuations over time. The authors examined 4 operationalizations of such temporal instability: the within-person variance (WPV), the first-order autocorrelation, the mean square succes…

Further comments toward a dimensional classification of personality disorder
Plate tectonics in the classification of personality disorder: Shifting to a dimensional model
The diagnostic categories of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders were developed in the spirit of a traditional medical model that considers mental disorders to be qualitatively distinct conditions (see, e.g., American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Work is now beginning on the fifth edition of this influential diagnostic manual. It is perhaps time to consider a fundamental shift in how psy…
A Structured Interview for the Assessment of the Five‐Factor Model of Personality: Facet‐Level Relations to the Axis II Personality Disorders
The Structured Interview for the Five‐Factor Model (SIFFM; Trull & Widiger, 1997) is an 120‐item semistructured interview that assesses both adaptive and maladaptive features of the personality traits included in the five‐factor model of personality, or “Big Five.” In this article, we evaluate the ability of SIFFM scores to predict personality disorder symptomatology in a sample of 232 adults (46 outpatients and 186 nonclinical college students).…
Personality and Psychopathology: An Application of the Five‐Factor Model
Our review is concerned with the relationship of the five‐factor model of personality to psychopathology, focusing in particular on Axis II personality disorders and depression. The five factors provide a particularly compelling model for interpreting the Axis II personality disorders as maladaptive variants of normal personality traits. However, we also discuss methodological and conceptual limitations of this application. There has been little …
