Centering Intersectionality in Bystander Intervention
Analysis of Emotions and Dysfunctional Attitudes in Depression
The current study was designed to examine the role of basic emotions and dysfunctional attitudes in depression. Moreover, six models related to the organization of emotions were examined through confirmatory factor analysis. Two hundred individuals with major depressive disorder were recruited from three clinical psychology centers. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires measuring basic emotions, dysfunctional attitudes, and depressiv…
Understanding Happiness
Cognition and Emotion
Cognitive psychopathology
Neste artigo fazemos uma reflexão sobre o papel da emoção na compreensão da psicopatologia. Fazemos uma breve revisão e apontamos uma série de limitações do influente modelo da Psicoterapia Cognitiva preconizado por Beck. Dois pontos particularmente fracos são destacados na compreensão da psicopatologia cognitiva; nomeadamente, a importância dos sistemas de processamento multi-nível e a importância das emoções. Apresentamos o modelo SPAARS de Pow…
Reliability, construct and criterion validity of the KIDSCREEN-10 score
Our results indicate that the KIDSCREEN-10 provides a valid measure of a general HRQoL factor in children and adolescents, but the instrument does not represent well most of the single dimensions of the original KIDSCREEN-52. Test-retest reliability was slightly below a priori defined thresholds
Development of the WHOQOL disabilities module
The KIDSCREEN-52 Quality of Life Measure for Children and Adolescents
Brazilian WHOQOL-OLD Module version
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Brazilian version of WHOQOL-OLD Module and to test potential changes to the instrument to increase its psychometric adequacy. METHODS: A total of 424 older adults living in a city in Southern Brazil completed the WHOQOL-OLD instrument, in 2005. Rasch analysis was used to explore the psychometric performance of the scale, as implemented by the RUMM2020 software. Item-trait interaction, threshold disorders, presence of di…
Impact of Major Depression and Subsyndromal Symptoms on Quality of Life and Attitudes Toward Aging in an International Sample of Older Adults
Purpose: The impact of major depression on quality of life (QOL) and aging experiences in older adults has been reported. Studies have demonstrated that the clinical diagnosis of major depression is the strongest predictor for QOL. We postulate that some findings are biased because of the use of inadequate instruments. Although subsyndromal depression is more prevalent than major depression, there are no reports on its impact on QOL or attitudes …
The attitudes to ageing questionnaire (AAQ)
The KIDSCREEN-27 quality of life measure for children and adolescents
Testing the structural and cross-cultural validity of the KIDSCREEN-27 quality of life questionnaire
The Eurohis-QOL 8-item index
BACKGROUND: Survey research including multiple health indicators requires brief indices for use in cross-cultural studies, which have, however, rarely been tested in terms of their psychometric quality. Recently, the EUROHIS-QOL 8-item index was developed as an adaptation of the WHOQOL-100 and the WHOQOL-BREF. The aim of the current study was to test the psychometric properties of the EUROHIS-QOL 8-item index. METHODS: In a survey on 4849 Europea…
Cross-Cultural Analyses of Determinants of Quality of Life and Mental Health
KIDSCREEN-52 quality-of-life measure for children and adolescents
This study describes the development and reports the first psychometric results of the European KIDSCREEN-52 generic health-related quality-of-life questionnaire for children and adolescents. The KIDSCREEN-52, including ten dimensions, was applied in a European survey involving 12 countries (i.e., Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK) and 22,110 children and adol…

The study's objective was to determine the effectiveness of a joint NHS/Social Services rehabilitation unit (a form of intermediate care) for older people on discharge from community hospital, compared with 'usual' community services. This was a controlled clinical trial in a practice setting. The intervention was 6 weeks in a rehabilitation unit where individuals worked with care/rehabilitation assistants and occupational therapists to regain in…
Childhood trauma, dissociation and self‐harming behaviour
Objective: Childhood trauma is known to be an important antecedent in those who engage in deliberate self‐harm (DSH). We aimed to explore the mediating mechanisms between childhood trauma and subsequent DSH in a sample of women detained in a high secure setting. Method: From a previous incidence study into DSH, we subdivided a group of 50 women as follows: non‐harmers ( N = 13), infrequent harmers ( N = 22) and frequent harmers ( N = 15). These t…

Integrating psychological therapies
We review the role played by meaning in different schools of psychotherapy, and propose that the systematic study of meaning transformation has the potential to unify understanding of the scientific basis of psychotherapy. We describe some of the most important innate and social origins of meaning, and identify seven major themes that characterize the thinking of people with psychological disorders. We also describe how these themes are processed…
Councillors and commerce in Liverpool, 1650–1750
Liverpool grew remarkably in the century after 1650 outpacing long-established ports like Bristol and Hull. In part this was due to advantages of location, in part to the ambitions of its merchants. The council opened a wet dock in 1715, a pioneering project which gave the port an unusual trading advantage. This paper explains that event by tracing the emergence of merchants on the council in the late seventeenth century and, by analysing port bo…
The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS)
In the first study, a combined sample of mature students, depressed and formerly depressed patients, and the patients first degree relatives completed either Form A or Form B of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS). Factor analysis of the two sets of data suggest that, contrary to the original proposals, the two versions of the DAS are not equivalent when a wide range of respondents are sampled. A second study presents preliminary information a…

Causal beliefs about depression in depressed patients, clinical psychologists and lay persons
Non‐depressed lay persons have been shown to have extensive and accurate knowledge about depression (Rippere, 1977, 1980 a, b , 1981 a ) that is underpinned by a structure that resembles current academic theories of the disorder (Furnham & Kuyken, 1991). In this study a semi‐structured interview schedule and a number of rating scales were used to determine and compare the nature and extent of depressed patients', clinical psychologists', and lay …

Are There Cognitive Rhythms in Speech
Two studies are presented which investigated whether spontaneous speech is characterized by the presence of a cognitive rhythm that consists of alternating phases of hesitancy and fluency. In the first study, cumulative phonation-silence graphs were generated from the tape recordings of 54 one-minute monologues. These phonation-silence graphs were presented to two judges who were asked to rate the graphs for the presence or absence of cognitive r…

"Are There Cognitive Rhythms in Speech?" — a Reply To Beattie (1984)
Beattie (1984) has criticized a previous study by Power (1983) which failed to find evidence for cognitive rhythms in a large sample of speech. Beattie's main criticisms were based on the contention that monologue speech and speech produced with an additional cognitive load were highly unnatural and that only speech produced in natural conversations will display such rhythms. In contrast, it is argued that monologue speech and speech produced wit…

The Selection of Patients for Group Therapy
Patients are selected for group therapy primarily on the basis of therapists' clinical judgements. Although a number of clinicians have attempted to specify what these judgements might be, a brief survey of these accounts shows little agreement apart from the proposal that appropriate patients should have interpersonal difficulties. Most clinicians appear to select patients on the basis of whether they are suitable for the type of therapy on offe…

A questionnaire designed to assess roles and goals
Social‐cognitive theories of depression predict that an individual is at more risk of becoming depressed if the individual's only dominant role or goal is disrupted by a life‐event. This paper reports the development of an instrument which assesses the individual's important roles and goals; preliminary data are presented from two samples (sample 1 of elderly people, sample 2 of younger adults) taken from the age‐sex registers of GP practices. Th…
