Group metacognitive therapy for students with anxiety
Background Group-based Metacognitive Therapy (gMCT) has shown promising results for anxiety, but research specifically targeting student populations is limited. By addressing maladaptive metacognitions, gMCT aims to reduce core symptoms such as anxiety, excessive worry, and rumination. More research is needed in university settings to determine whether gMCT can be successfully applied to students. Method: We investigated the feasibility and exami…
Psychometric properties of the Metacognitions Questionnaire–30 in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder
The MCQ-30 demonstrates promising validity in assessing generic metacognitive beliefs among PTSD patients, suggesting its utility in both clinical practice and research contexts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Mechanisms associated with the trajectory of depressive and anxiety symptoms
With the fluctuations in anxious and depressive symptomatology accompanied by the pandemic crises, studies on the trajectories of these symptom domains are warranted to monitor the development of mental health problems in the population. This pre-registered longitudinal study examines stable factors and mechanistic processes covarying with the trajectory of anxiety and depressive symptoms using linear-mixed effects models in 4936 adults from the …
Viral mitigation and the Covid-19 pandemic
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors associated with adherence to viral mitigation protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN: This epidemiological cross-sectional study examines adherence to behaviour in 4158 adults and its relationship with sources of information. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Adherence to social distancing protocols (SDPs) and adherence to hygienic behaviour (HB) recommendations. RESULTS: Individuals aged 18-30 reported lowest a…
Use of substances to cope predicts posttraumatic stress disorder symptom persistence
Our findings speak to the importance of attending to different coping strategies, particularly the use of substances as a coping behavior in efforts to prevent PTSD chronicity upon symptom onset. We outline future directions for research efforts to better understand the complex interactions and temporal pathways leading up to the development and maintenance of PTSD symptomatology.

Psychological well-being in times of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and living under social distancing restrictions have been hypothesized to impact well-being and mental health in the general population. This study investigated the general Norwegian adult population's well-being after implementing and lifting strict social distancing restrictions. The study was conducted through digital surveys; during the implementation of strict social distancing restrictions in March 2020 (T1) and 3 mont…
Parental burnout during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Increased and long‐term parental stress related to one's parental role can lead to parental burnout. In the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic, families experienced intensified pressure due to the government‐initiated contact restrictions applied to prevent the spread of the virus in the population. This study investigates the risk factors and predictors of parental burnout in a large sample of parents ( N = 1488) during the COVID‐19 pandemic i…
Risk, Trust, and Flawed Assumptions
Background: The pace at which the present pandemic and future public health crises involving viral infections are eradicated heavily depends on the availability and routine implementation of vaccines. This process is further affected by a willingness to vaccinate, embedded in the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy. The World Health Organization has listed vaccine hesitancy among the greatest threats to global health, calling for research to identify…
Insomnia Symptoms in the General Population During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This empirical study aims to investigate factors associated with insomnia symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in 4,921 Norwegian adults. Participants were queried across two time-points, between March 31 st and April the 7th 2020, and between June 22nd and July 13th, 2020. Relevant risk factors and psychological correlates at the first time-point and insomnia symptoms were measured 3 months later, allowing for the investigation of concurrent as…
Loneliness and Social Distancing During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The mitigation strategies employed against the COVID-19 pandemic have severe mental health consequences. In particular, as a result of the social distancing protocols, loneliness is likely to increase. This study investigates (a) potential risk and resilience factors for loneliness in the Norwegian population during the strict social distancing non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) implemented against the pandemic and (b) the assoc…
Psychometric Properties of the General Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Scale in a Heterogeneous Psychiatric Sample
The GAD-7 is commonly used as a measure of general anxiety symptoms across various settings and populations. However, there has been disagreement regarding the factor structure of the GAD-7, and there is a need for larger studies investigating the psychometric properties of the measure. Patients undergoing treatment (N = 1201), both inpatient and outpatient patients, completed the GAD-7 at pre- and posttreatment. Measures of depression, well-bein…
