Investigating the efficacy of a Dialectical behaviour therapy-based universal intervention on adolescent social and emotional well-being outcomes
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 28;169:104408. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104408. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is increasing research interest as to whether Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), specifically the group skills training component, is an effective early intervention approach when delivered universally in schools. The current study aimed to provide the first large-scale examination of a universal DBT-based intervention and to also determine the extent to which home practice of DBT skills predicted changes in social and emotional outcomes over time. A non-randomised controlled trial design was employed whereby 1071...

The effect of universal school-based mindfulness on anhedonia and emotional distress and its underlying mechanisms: A cluster randomised controlled trial via experience sampling in secondary schools
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 19;169:104405. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104405. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis cluster randomised controlled trial examined the effectiveness of universal school-based mindfulness training (MT; vs. passive control) to lower anhedonia and emotional distress among mid-adolescents (15-18 years). It further examined three potential mechanisms: dampening of positive emotions, non-acceptance/suppression of negative emotions, and perceived social pressure not to experience/express negative emotions. Adolescents (ncontrol = 136, nintervention = 95) participated in three assessment points (before, after...

The influence of induced dysphoria on autobiographical memory specificity and social problem solving: Examining the role of executive function
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 19;169:104404. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104404. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNegative mood induction leads to reductions in autobiographical memory specificity (AMS) and social problem-solving (SPS). The aim was to establish if executive function contributes to changes in AMS and SPS following negative mood induction. Forty-four participants (study 1) completed the autobiographical memory test and measures of executive function (letter & category fluency) before and after a positive or negative mood induction (MI). Forty participants (study 2) completed the means-end problem solving task (MEPS...

Reaction time as an outcome measure during online fear conditioning: Effects of number of trials, age, and levels of processing
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 16;169:104406. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104406. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent studies have shown that fear conditioning experiments can be successfully conducted online. However, there is limited evidence that measures other than subjective ratings of threat expectancy can be collected, which means that online research may not be able to adequately replace laboratory experiments. In the current study, we conducted an online fear conditioning experiment consisting of habituation, acquisition, extinction and 48 h delayed extinction recall using ratings of threat expectancy and conditional stim...

Boosting affective control with bifrontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): a proof-of-concept study in healthy individuals
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 4;169:104401. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104401. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAffective control refers to the ability to regulate emotions and is considered a marker of mental health. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, holds promise to enhance affective control. In this between-subjects study in healthy individuals, we investigated the effects of bifrontal tDCS on core processes and higher-level markers of affective control. As such, we assessed direct tDCS effects on emotional interference during an affective control task and indirect effects...
