Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer in individuals with chronic pain
Behav Res Ther. 2024 Feb 23;176:104491. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2024.104491. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAvoidance of pain has been argued to be key factor leading pain events to chronic disability. In this respect, research has focused on investigating the working mechanisms of avoidance's acquisition. Avoidance of painful stimuli has been traditionally studied using a combination of Pavlovian and Instrumental procedures. However, such approach seems to go against real-life scenarios where avoidance is commonly acquired more readily. Using a novel pain avoidance paradigm, we tested whether pain avoidance can be installed in...

Risk estimation in relation to anxiety and depression for low probability negative events
Behav Res Ther. 2024 Feb 27;176:104500. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2024.104500. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFoundational cognitive models propose that people with anxiety and depression show risk estimation bias, but most literature does not compute true risk estimation bias by comparing people's subjective risk estimates to their individualized reality (i.e., person-level objective risk). In a diverse community sample (N = 319), we calculated risk estimation bias by comparing people's subjective risk estimates for contracting COVID-19 to their individualized objective risk. Person-level objective risk was consistently low and ...

Contamination fear and attention bias variability early in the COVID-19 pandemic
Behav Res Ther. 2024 Feb 24;175:104497. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2024.104497. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic increase in the salience and importance of information relating to both the risk of infection, and factors that could mitigate against such risk. This is likely to have contributed to elevated contamination fear concerns in the general population. Biased attention for contamination-related information has been proposed as a potential mechanism underlying contamination fear, though evidence regarding the presence of such biased attention has been inconsistent. A pos...

Daily micropractice can augment single-session interventions: A randomized controlled trial of self-compassionate touch and examining their associations with habit formation in US college students
Behav Res Ther. 2024 Feb 21;175:104498. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2024.104498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this pre-registered study, we evaluated the effects of a single-session, self-guided intervention, leveraging daily micropractice (≤20 seconds/day practice) of self-compassionate touch to enhance self-compassion. We randomly assigned undergraduates (N = 135) to one of two conditions: a single-session intervention in which they were taught self-compassionate touch or a finger-tapping active control. Then, we instructed them to practice for 20 seconds/day for one month. At baseline (T1) and one-month follow-up (T2), pa...
