  • Gender-specific differences in body-related attention allocation in adolescents

    Open AccessFanny A Dietel, Rike Arkenau et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    Although previous research has demonstrated biased body-related attention allocation in female adolescents, there is a lack of studies examining these patterns in male adolescents. Considering the growing body of evidence highlighting high levels of body dissatisfaction among male adolescents and findings that biased body-related attention perpetuates such dissatisfaction, this study aims to address this research gap. Eye movements of German male…

  • Social rhythm and mental health

    Open AccessJürgen Margraf, Kristen Lavallee et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2026

    Social rhythm refers to the regularity with which a person participates in social activities during the week and has shown associations with depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as aspects of positive mental health, in cross-sectional studies. The aim of the present study is to examine these relationships longitudinally across three countries. Questionnaire data were obtained from a large-scale multi-national sample of 872 university students…

  • Understanding the loneliness paradox of the digital age

    Open AccessJulia Brailovskaia, Lena-Marie Precht et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2026

    Never before has humanity been so well connected, and yet felt so alone, as in the digital age. The present study aimed to identify potential factors that could contribute to the explanation of this loneliness paradox. Therefore, the relationship between addictive social media use (SMU), perceived offline social support, and loneliness has been investigated in male and female persons. Data of 7,318 adult social media users (men: n = 3,579, women:…

  • Patterns of sub‐optimal change following CBT for childhood anxiety

    Open AccessLizel‐Antoinette Bertie, Kristian Arendt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    BACKGROUND: Children and adolescents demonstrate diverse patterns of symptom change and disorder remission following cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders. To better understand children who respond sub-optimally to CBT, this study investigated youths (N = 1,483) who continued to meet criteria for one or more clinical anxiety diagnosis immediately following treatment or at any point during the 12 months following treatment. MET…

  • Internet-based psychoeducation and support programme for relatives of young people with early psychosis

    Open AccessMar Rus‐calafell, Mar Rus-Calafell et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    These results provide preliminary efficacy estimates for a fully powered RCT to investigate superiority (or equipoise) effects of the ePSP in comparison to the routine face-to-face family therapy groups. This future RCT will also allow further exploration of ePSP to improve access to psychological therapy for relatives of young people with psychosis, also in relation to the new ground-breaking Digital Healthcare Act in Germany

  • Negative (but not positive) affective episodic future thinking enhances proactive behavior in 5-year-old children

    Felix Schreiber, Silvia Schneider et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Envisioning the future and how you may feel (affective episodic future thinking [EFT]) helps adults to act in favor for their future self, according to manifold experiments. The current study tested whether and how affective EFT also helps children to behave more proactively, that is, to self-initially prepare for an upcoming event. Five-year-old ( N = 90) children (data collected from 2021 to 2022) were instructed to mentally imagine how they wo…

  • If looks could talk

    Open AccessSamantha Ehli, Silvia Schneider et al.ARTICLESocial Development2024References: 5

    We investigated how apparent threat of an ambiguous stimuli modulates infants’ looking to interaction partners of varying familiarity (mother, familiar experimenter, unfamiliar experimenter). We hypothesized a preference for familiar informants under higher apparent threat, but a preference for unfamiliar informants under lower apparent threat. The informant encouraged infants ( N = 104, 8–13 months) to cross a visual cliff in one of two apparent…

  • Can you teach me not to be angry? Relations between temperament and the emotion regulation strategy distraction in 2-year-olds

    Open AccessJohanna Schoppmann, Silvia Schneider et al.ARTICLEChild Development2022

    Little is known about toddlers’ acquisition of specific emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and how early ER is shaped by temperament. This study investigated if 24-month-old German toddlers, predominantly from families with high levels of parental education (N = 96, n = 49 male), learned the ER strategy distraction through observational learning, and its interaction with temperament. Increased use of distraction correlated with reduced negative …

  • Do Metacognitions of Children and Adolescents with Anxiety Disorders Change after Intensified Exposure Therapy

    Open AccessLaura Marie Köcher, Verena Pflug et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Metacognitive beliefs have repeatedly proven to play a role in anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, but few studies have investigated whether they change after cognitive behavioral therapy. This longitudinal intervention study explores whether positive and negative metacognitive beliefs in particular change after exposure-focused treatment, and if metacognitive changes predict reductions in anxiety symptoms. A sample of 27 children betw…

  • State-Dependent Memory in Infants

    Open AccessSabine Seehagen, Silvia Schneider et al.ARTICLEChild Development2021

    Why do infants remember some things and not others? Human infants frequently cycle through different states such as calm attentiveness, wakeful activity, and crying. Given that cognitive processes do not occur in isolation, such fluctuations in internal state might influence memory processing. In the present experiment, declarative memory in 9-month-old infants (N = 96) was heavily state dependent. Infants exhibited excellent retention of a defer…

  • Does a lower self-concept contribute to mental health disparities of diverse immigrant youth from middle childhood to late adolescence

    Open AccessJon Busch, Carola Claus et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021References: 8

    Our study substantiates previous findings that immigrant youth in Germany have overall increased symptom levels of depression and anxiety compared to non-immigrant youth. Our study however does not support that immigrant youth have a more negative self-concept and that the self-concept mediates such internalizing mental health disparities. Findings match previous evidence that developing a positive attitude towards the self is linked to better me…

  • Bullying History and Mental Health In University Students

    Open AccessMuyu Lin, Dieter Wolke et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Bullying victimization by peers is highly prevalent in childhood and adolescence. There is convincing evidence that victimization is associated with adverse mental health consequences. In contrast, it has been found that perpetrators suffer no adverse mental health consequences. These findings originate from Western countries such as Germany but have rarely been investigated in collectivistic societies such as China. Furthermore, it has been rare…

  • Your Fear is My Fear

    Open AccessDirk Adolph, Jürgen Margraf et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2020

    Contrary to the well-documented link between parental and offspring clinical anxiety, little is known about the relationship between parental everyday-life anxieties (e.g., concerning family, finances, health) and offspring anxieties. To close this gap, we assessed the frequency of parental symptoms of DSM-IV anxiety disorders and everyday-life anxieties, as well as the frequency of offspring anxiety symptoms in a representative sample by self-re…

  • Bullies Get Away With It, But Not Everywhere

    Open AccessMuyu Lin, Dieter Wolke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2020References: 60

    Bullying victimization is associated with adverse mental health consequences, while bullies suffer few or no adverse consequences in Western societies. Yet the universality of these consequences across western and eastern cultures is unknown. The current study investigated retrospective bullying experience in primary and secondary schools and its effects on adult mental health (depression, anxiety, stress, lifetime suicidal behavior, positive men…

  • Facial Emotion Recognition Abilities in Women Experiencing Eating Disorders

    Andrea Wyssen, Junpeng Lao et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Impairments in facial emotion recognition are an underlying factor of deficits in emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties in mental disorders and are evident in eating disorders (EDs). METHODS: We used a computerized psychophysical paradigm to manipulate parametrically the quantity of signal in facial expressions of emotion (QUEST threshold seeking algorithm). This was used to measure emotion recognition in 308 adult women (a…

  • Education and mental health

    Open AccessHelen Niemeyer, Angela Bieda et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2019

    Prevalence rates for mental health problems are higher when an individual's socioeconomic status (SES) is low, but the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. We investigated associations between education as indicator for SES and depressive symptoms as well as positive mental health (PMH). Moreover, we hypothesized that low education is associated with a lack of psychosocial resources and more daily hassles, which in turn mediate the r…
