  • Existential Isolation as a Correlate of Mental Health Problems, Predictor of Treatment Outcome, and Moderator of a Patient-Therapist Match Effect

    Michael J Constantino, Averi N Gaines et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2023

    Introduction: Ample research has established that interpersonal isolation—the objective separateness from others—is a correlate of maladaptive psychological outcomes. However, existential isolation (EI)—the feeling of aloneness in one's subjective experience—has received less empirical attention. From the limited existing research, higher EI has been associated with greater severity of mental health concerns and more negative beliefs about treatm…

  • Phish Derby: Shoring the Human Shield Through Gamified Phishing Attacks

    Open AccessMatthew Canham, Clay Posey et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    To better understand employees’ reporting behaviors in relation to phishing emails, we gamified the phishing security awareness training process by creating and conducting a month-long “Phish Derby” competition at a large university in the U.S. The university’s Information Security Office challenged employees to prove they could detect phishing emails as part of the simulated phishing program currently in place. Employees volunteered to compete f…

  • Phishing for Long Tails: Examining Organizational Repeat Clickers and Protective Stewards

    Open AccessMatthew Canham, Clay Posey et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2021

    Organizational cybersecurity efforts depend largely on the employees who reside within organizational walls. These individuals are central to the effectiveness of organizational actions to protect sensitive assets, and research has shown that they can be detrimental (e.g., sabotage and computer abuse) as well as beneficial (e.g., protective motivated behaviors) to their organizations. One major context where employees affect their organizations i…

  • Clinicians’ Attitudes Toward Therapeutic Alliance in E-Therapy

    Madalina Sucala, Julie B Schnur et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of General Psychology2013Cited by: 1References: 1

    Although therapeutic alliance is a crucial factor in face-to-face therapies, no data exist on clinicians' attitudes towards alliance in E-therapy. The study explored clinicians' perceived importance of alliance in E-therapy, clinicians' confidence in their skills to develop alliance in E-therapy, and whether attitudes towards alliance in E-therapy are associated with intended E-therapy practice. Clinicians (n = 106) responded to an online survey.…

  • Does Agazarian’s Systems-Centered® Functional Subgrouping Improve Mood, Learning and Goal Achievement? A Study in Large Groups

    Open AccessRichard M O’Neill, Michael J Constantino et al.ARTICLEGroup Analysis2012

    Agazarian’s (1997, 2001) systems-centered therapy and training (SCT)1 extends Foulkes’ (1964) concept of inseparable, interacting personal and group matrices to a three-level hierarchical matrix. SCT presents the group member nesting in a subgroup, in turn nesting in the group-as-a-whole. The SCT group member works by joining other members exploring a similar experience in the here-and-now, thus forming a ‘functional subgroup’ of the group-as-a-w…

  • How Interpersonal Motives Clarify the Meaning of Interpersonal Behavior: A Revised Circumplex Model

    Open AccessLeonard M Horowitz, K R Wilson et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2006

    Circumplex models have organized interpersonal behavior along 2 orthogonal dimensions-communion (which emphasizes connection between people) and agency (which emphasizes one person's influence over the other). However, many empirical studies have disconfirmed certain predictions from these models. We therefore revised the model in 4 ways that highlight interpersonal motives. In our revision: (a) the negative pole of communion is indifference, not…

Methods: A random sample of Kaiser Permanente patients who visited a primary care clinic was mailed a questionnaire assessing major depressive disorder (MDD), chronic pain, p…
