Distinct retrieval mechanisms for episodic and schematic categoric memories in depressed individuals
Increased categoric autobiographical memory is a known vulnerability factor for depression. Prior research suggests that categoric memories retrieved directly (i.e. via automatic associative processes) to negative cues and those retrieved generatively (i.e. through effortful and cue generation processes) to positive cues, are more pronounced in depression, indicating distinct mechanisms underlying negative and positive categoric memories in depre…

Factor structure of self-reported health literacy scales
The importance of health literacy has become widely recognized in the fields of psychology and public health over past decades, during which more than 100 health-literacy scales have been developed. These scales typically have unique targets (or subscales), leading to an enormous number of factors proposed across scales. However, conceptual overlaps and redundancy are left unresolved. This study therefore explored the factor structure of 219 item…
The Transdiagnostic Role of Perfectionism
Early Improvement Predicts Treatment Response in Depression
Predicting treatment response through early improvement can reduce patients' time in ineffective treatments before considering alternatives. However, for psychological interventions, there is no consensus on what time window and improvement rate early in the treatment is the most informative for distinguishing treatment responders from nonresponders. This study investigated these aspects in an inpatient and day clinic setting among severe depress…
Persistent negative self-referent thinking in the context of depression
Cognitive models of depression posit that persistent negative self-referent thinking (PNSRT) is an important vulnerability factor for depressive symptoms. The mechanisms involved are still understudied, especially in adolescence. PNSRT has been assessed by a behavioural decision-making task, namely the emotional reversal learning task (ERLT). Within the ERLT, PNSRT is operationalised as the learning rate for negative self-reference. The first aim…
Evaluating the performance of personality-based profiling in predicting physical activity

The Stories We Tell Influence the Support We Receive
Although social support facilitates coping and recovering from stressful life events, people do not always get the support that they need. Prior research suggests that the way one talks about stressful events to others may influence the support they receive. Given that people are increasingly relying on online communities for social support, this study adopted a person-centered approach (latent profile analysis) to examine how narrative variables…

Depressive symptoms and persistent negative self-referent thinking among adolescents
Learning theories of depression propose that negative thinking is acquired through subsequent rewarding experiences and is often resistant to change even when it becomes associated with punishment. We examined whether this persistency of negative thinking is related to current and future levels of depressive symptoms among adolescents. Persistency of negative self-referent thinking was assessed by means of a decision-making task, namely the emoti…
Affective forecasting as an adaptive learning process
Theories propose that human affective forecasting is an adaptive learning process guided by prediction errors. Although this learning process can be formally described by a Kalman filter, human forecasts are suggested to be biased and computationally suboptimal. We compared the accuracy of human affective forecasts to statistical forecasts made using a Kalman filter and explored the differences between these two processes. Participants (from the …
Autobiographical memory specificity and mnemonic discrimination
Temporal associations between trauma-related sleep disturbances and PTSD symptoms
These findings support accumulating evidence that trauma-related sleep disturbances play an important role in the maintenance of PTSD symptoms, by elevating symptoms daily. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Specificity and detail in autobiographical memory retrieval
This investigation examined conflicting suggestions regarding the association between problems retrieving specific autobiographical memories and the tendency to retrieve the details of these memories. We also examined whether these tendencies are differentially related to depression symptoms. U.S., Belgian, Hong Kong and Japanese participants retrieved memories related to cue words. Responses were coded for if they referred to a specific event (i…
Clustering Individuals on Limited Features of a Vector Autoregressive Model
Dynamical interplays in emotions have been investigated using vector autoregressive (VAR) models, whose estimates can be used to cluster participants into unknown groups. The present study evaluated a clustering algorithm, the alternating least square (ALS) algorithm, for accuracy in predicting individual group membership. We systematically manipulated (a) the number of variables in a model, (b) the size of group differences in regression coeffic…

There were no consistent moderators of effect size heterogeneity; effect sizes were not explained by methodological factors such as cue valence or demographic variables such as participants' age or between-group differences in process variables (e.g., rumination). Deficits in autobiographical memory retrieval may be…

An experience sampling study examining the potential impact of a mindfulness-based intervention on emotion differentiation
Research has shown that how well people can differentiate between different emotional states is an essential requirement for adaptive emotion regulation. People with low levels of emotion differentiation tend to be more vulnerable to develop emotional disorders. Although we know quite a lot about the correlates of emotion differentiation, research on factors or interventions which could improve emotion differentiation skills is scarce. Here, we h…
Attentional bias and its association with anxious mood dynamics
Attentional bias toward threatening stimuli is recognized as 1 of the most important cognitive vulnerability factors for anxiety. However, the association between anxious attention and negative moods has not been fully elucidated, particularly in terms of the effect of such bias on mood fluctuations in daily life. We examined the associations between attentional bias and emotional dynamics under a daily life setting. Participants (46 university s…
Explicitly guided attentional bias modification promotes attentional disengagement from negative stimuli
Previous studies have shown that attentional bias modification (ABM) is effective in reducing negative attentional biases. However, the mechanisms underlying how ABM effectively reduces negative attentional biases are still unclear. In the present study, we conducted an ABM procedure that included a 3-day training session with a sample of nonclinical participants (N = 40) to investigate the effect of ABM on emotional and nonemotional attentional …
Ruminative self-focus in daily life
The present study examined the situations and conditions in which ruminative self-focus is less likely to occur in daily life. Previous researchers have described a mood-brightening effect of depression, where depressed individuals exhibit greater positive emotional reactivity to positive daily events than do nondepressed individuals. To better understand this paradoxical effect, we investigated the moderating role of depression in the relationsh…
Diurnal variation in rumination
The present study investigated the daily fluctuation of ruminative thinking and its individual differences by using the experience sampling method. Participants recorded their thought contents and negative affect eight times a day for a week at semirandom intervals. High-trait ruminators showed high levels of self-focus, unpleasantness, and uncontrollability in their thoughts over the sampling course. These variables were interacted to predict th…
