  • Persistent negative self-referent thinking in the context of depression

    Eline Belmans, Keisuke Takano et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2025References: 58

    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…

  • Depressive symptoms and persistent negative self-referent thinking among adolescents

Persistency of negative self-referent thinking was assessed by means of a decision-making task, namely the emoti…

  • 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…

  • Validation of the Impact of Event Scale With Modifications for Covid-19 (IES-Covid19)

    Open AccessLauranne Vanaken, Sara Scheveneels et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Viral outbreaks can be experienced as disruptive and can be associated with trauma-related stress symptoms. In the current study, we adjusted the Dutch version of the Impact of Event Scale (IES) to assess traumatic stress symptoms related to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The psychometric properties of this Impact of Event Scale with modifications for COVID-19 (IES-COVID19) were investigated by administering the IES-COVID19 to 380 universit…
