Testing a brief attention training protocol to prevent emotional distress from a fear induction procedure
CONCLUSIONS: These findings are the first experimental evidence showing that the benefit of ABM prior to a fearful experience may be in its reduction of the target emotion. Additionally, ABM may work best for those that demonstrate the most avoidance at baseline in their attention towards fearful stimuli.PMID:38447472 | DOI:10.1016/j.jbtep.2024.101956 (Source: Behavior Therapy)

Embodied cognitive restructuring: The impact of posture and movement on changing dysfunctional attitudes
CONCLUSION: Should the findings be replicated in clinical samples, it is encouraging that simple bodily exercises can enhance the effect of one of the most central skills of cognitive therapy.PMID:38428361 | DOI:10.1016/j.jbtep.2024.101955 (Source: Behavior Therapy)

To Look or Not to Look: Instagram's Sensitive-Content Screens Do Not Deter Vulnerable People From Viewing Negative Content
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):233-247. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.06.001. Epub 2023 Jun 21.ABSTRACTBy blurring sensitive images and providing a warning, Instagram's sensitive-content screens seek to assist users-particularly vulnerable users-in making informed decisions about what content to approach or avoid. Yet, prior research found most people (∼85%) chose to uncover a single screened negative image (Bridgland, Bellet, et al., 2022). Here, we extended on and addressed shortcomings of this previous research. Across two studies, we presented participants with a series of sensitive-content screens covering negative content t...

The Effectiveness of GenerationPMTO During Sustained Implementation in the Public Mental Health System: A Single-Arm Open Trial Evaluation
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):248-262. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.06.004. Epub 2023 Jul 1.ABSTRACTTo support families and reduce the burden of child mental, emotional, and behavioral problems, evidence-based parenting interventions must remain effective in real-world service delivery contexts. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the GenerationPMTO (GenPMTO) intervention during sustained implementation in the Michigan public mental health system using a single-arm open trial (pre-post) design. We also examined potential predictors of treatment response. A multilevel analysis framework was utiliz...

Investigating Retrospective and Prospective Metamemory Judgments During Episodic Memory in Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):277-291. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.002. Epub 2023 Jul 20.ABSTRACTIt is clear evidence that individuals diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) lack confidence in their memory and have low metamemory performance (judgment and accuracy). However, it is still unclear whether low metamemory performance is specific to first, domain general or domain specific, and second, to stimulus domain. To address these issues, we compared individuals diagnosed with OCD and healthy controls (HCs) on recognition, retrospective (judgments of learning [JOL]) and prospective (feeling of knowing [FOK]) met...
