  • Dissociation in a developmental psychopathology framework

    Denise H Kyte, Hilary Hodgdon et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2023

    Traumas occurring in later adolescence may confer greater risk of dissociation. Differential psychosocial outcomes also reinforce why approaching dissociation from a developmental psychopathology lens is important, enhancing the model's generalizability.

  • Dissociation

    Denise H Kyte, Michael K Suvak et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2022

    The study findings point toward a unidimensional conceptualization of dissociation. A developmental psychopathology framework is recommended for future research, allowing a nuanced and integrated approach to understanding dissociation and increasing generalizability across adolescents.

  • Temporary PTSD symptom increases among individuals receiving CPT in a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial

    Sadie E Larsen, Margaret‐Anne Mackintosh et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2020

    The rates of symptom increases, which were higher than in previous studies, may be attributed to a routine care sample or to the differences in session timing and measurement. These results add to a nascent literature documenting that symptom increases may be a normal, transient part of treatment that do not impact a patient's ability to have symptom improvement during a course of CPT.

  • The affective dynamics of reassurance-seeking in real-time interactions

    Open AccessKayla A Lord, Kate L Harkne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2020Cited by: 1References: 47

    According to several interpersonal theories of depression, excessive reassurance-seeking is one way depressed individuals may contribute to relationship deterioration, particularly in romantic relationships. The present study is the first behavioral investigation of the hypothesis that reassurance-seeking induces negative affect in interaction partners in real time. This study also investigates potential affective precursors to reassurance-seekin…

  • The Mindful Way through the Semester

  • Trauma cognitions are related to symptoms up to 10 years after cognitive behavioral treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder

    Open AccessChristine D Scher, Michael K Suvak et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2017

    These data suggest that trauma-related cognitions are a potential mechanism for long-term maintenance of treatment gains after CBT for PTSD. Moreover, these cognitions may be a common, rather than specific, treatment maintenance mechanism. (PsycINFO Database Record

  • Predictors of Sexual Functioning in a Sample of U.S. Marines

    Michael K Suvak, Leah A Brogan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Sexual…2012

    We examined predictors of sexual functioning in male and female U.S. Marines (n = 589) assessed longitudinally for approximately 11 years. Multiple domains of sexual functioning (dysfunctional sexual behaviors, sexual frequency, sexual problems, and sexual satisfaction) were assessed at the 11-year follow-up assessment (T5). T5 depressive symptoms emerged as the most robust predictor of all domains of sexual functioning. Different patterns of cor…

  • Associations of Gender and Gender-Role Ideology With Behavioral and Attitudinal Features of Intimate Partner Aggression

    Marcia K Fitzpatrick, Dawn M Salgado et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2004Cited by: 7References: 14

    This study examined the association between gender-role ideology (scores on a nonegalitarian-egalitarian attitudinal dimension) and features of intimate partner aggression, with attention to how this relationship varied as a function of gender. Undergraduates from a large northeastern urban university (N = 250) completed measures of relationship quality, gender-role ideology, psychological abuse, psychological victimization, physical abuse, physi…
