Can we challenge attention and interpretation threat biases in rescued child labourers with a history of physical abuse using a computerised cognitive training task? Data on feasibility, acceptability and target engagement
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Jan 29;162:104267. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChild labourers are more likely to have experienced physical victimisation, which may increase risk for anxiety/depression, by shaping threat biases in information-processing. To target threat biases and vulnerability for anxiety/depression, we evaluated whether Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) training could be feasibly and acceptably delivered to rescued youth labourers. Seventy-six physically abused rescued labourers aged 14-17 (40 from Nepal, 36 from India) in out-of-home care institutions received either multi-sessi...

Does self-harm have the desired effect? Comparing non-suicidal self-injury to high-urge moments in an ambulatory assessment design
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Feb 2;162:104273. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104273. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAll theoretical models of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) posit that regulation of negative affect (NA) is a central motive for NSSI, and cross-sectional work supports this. However, previous ambulatory assessment (AA) studies that examined NSSI found mixed results. We investigated the affect regulation function of NSSI in 51 women with DSM-5 NSSI disorder in a 15-day AA study with five random daily prompts and self-initiated NSSI prompts. We extend previous work by i) comparing NSSI moments to moments of a high-urge for N...

Cumulative vulnerabilities and smoking abstinence: A test from a randomized clinical trial

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmoking cessation is often associated with socioeconomic and intrapersonal vulnerabilities such as psychopathology. Yet, most research that focuses on predicting smoking cessation outcomes tends focus on a small number of possible vulnerabilities. In a secondary data analysis, we developed and empirically evaluated a comprehensive, cumulative vulnerability risk composite reflecting psychologically based transdiagnostic processes, social determinants of health, and psychopathology. Participants were adult smokers who respon...

Social anxiety inhibits needs repair following exclusion in both relational and non-relational reward contexts: The mediating role of positive affect
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Jan 29;162:104270. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104270. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pain of social exclusion can motivate people to capitalize on opportunities to reconnect with others and repair their self-esteem and feelings of belongingness. This effect is often diminished for those with high social anxiety (HSA). Prior research suggests this may be due to their diminished capacity for recognizing and emotionally responding to relational reward cues. We investigated whether non-relational success experiences in the aftermath of exclusion may be an alternative means of repairing threatened self-est...

Systematically investigating the role of context on effect replicability in reinstatement of fear in humans
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Jan 20;162:104256. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104256. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContext is crucial in guiding behavior in an ever-changing world and contextual information plays a crucial role in associative learning processes. For instance, the return of fear (RoF) after successful extinction, which is used to study the mechanisms underlying relapse phenomena in fear- and stress-related disorders in an experimental model, is known to be context dependent as evident from phenomena such as renewal (contextual change) and reinstatement (re-exposure to an aversive event). Human adaptions of reinstatemen...
