Examining the Factor Structure and Incremental Utility of the Contrast Avoidance Questionnaires via Bifactor Analysis
The negative emotional contrast avoidance model posits that pathological worry is maintained by the avoidance of negative emotional shifts. The Contrast Avoidance Questionnaires (CAQ–Worry and CAQ–General Emotion) aim to assess contrast avoidance beliefs and behaviors. Questions remain around the factor structures of the CAQs, whether such structures replicate in nonundergraduate samples, and whether their domain-specific factors are valid for in…
An examination of the criterion-related validity of varying methods of indexing clinically significant change in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment
The J&T methodology for indexing CSC in PTSD symptoms has criterion-related validity, and a norm-referenced benchmark appears to be the most potent. However, the norm-referenced parameters may be overly specific, potentially leading to an underestimate of improvement. Research is needed to test the generalizability of these results.

DSM-5 criterion-a-based trauma types in service members and veterans seeking treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder
Because of discrepancies between participant and assessor typologies, clinical researchers should use participants' ratings, and these should trump assessor judgment. Differences in pretreatment behavioral and mental health problems across some participant-endorsed trauma types partially support the validity of the participant ratings.

The interactive effect of event centrality and maladaptive metacognitive beliefs on posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth
Event centrality, the extent to which a traumatic event becomes a reference point for understanding the world and one's role in it, is related to both posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and posttraumatic growth (PTG). Given that higher event centrality is associated with both of these seemingly disparate postevent trajectories, research on potential moderators of these relationships is needed to better understand the conditions under which event…
Cognitive fusion potentiates the effect of maladaptive posttraumatic cognitions on posttraumatic stress symptoms
Experimental manipulation of emotion regulation self-efficacy
Methodological considerations for assessing trauma history via self-report
When assessing trauma exposure via self-report, a written narrative and follow-up questions should be requested for all events that are endorsed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
