A meta-analytic review of anger management activities that increase or decrease arousal: What fuels or douses rage?
Clin Psychol Rev. 2024 Mar 11;109:102414. doi: 10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102414. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnger is an unpleasant emotion that most people want to get rid of. Some anger management activities focus on decreasing arousal (e.g., deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation), whereas others focus on increasing arousal (e.g., hitting a bag, jogging, cycling). This meta-analytic review, based on 154 studies including 184 independent samples involving 10,189 participants, tested the effectiveness of both types of activities. The results indicated that arousal-decreasing activities decreased anger and aggression (g = -0.6...

Measurement properties of tools used to assess self-harm in autistic and general population adults
Clin Psychol Rev. 2024 Mar 12;109:102412. doi: 10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102412. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutistic people are at increased risk of experiencing self-harm compared to the general population. However, it is unclear which tools are being used to assess self-harm in autistic people, or whether existing tools need to be adapted for this group. This two-stage systematic review aimed to identify tools used to assess self-harm in autistic and general population adults, evaluate these tools on their measurement properties, and make recommendations for their appropriate use in research and clinical practice.

Vulnerabilities in social anxiety: Integrating intra- and interpersonal perspectives
Clin Psychol Rev. 2024 Mar 11;109:102415. doi: 10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102415. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhat are the major vulnerabilities in people with social anxiety? What are the most promising directions for translational research pertaining to this condition? The present paper provides an integrative summary of basic and applied translational research on social anxiety, emphasizing vulnerability factors. It is divided into two subsections: intrapersonal and interpersonal. The intrapersonal section synthesizes research relating to (a) self-representations and self-referential processes; (b) emotions and their regulati...

A systematic review and meta-synthesis on perspectives of autistic young people and their parents on psychological well-being
Clin Psychol Rev. 2024 Feb 20;109:102411. doi: 10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102411. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutistic adolescents are at increased risk of developing mental health problems. Improving psychological well-being could reduce the likelihood of such problems developing. Research has tended to prioritise the voices of non-autistic people and has neglected to consult autistic young people themselves. Our meta-synthesis aimed to systematically review qualitative research on the perspectives of autistic young people and their parents on the lived experience of psychological well-being. We conducted a pre-planned systemat...

Meta-analysis of the implied distribution of callous-unemotional traits across sampling methods and informant
Clin Psychol Rev. 2024 Feb 21;109:102407. doi: 10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102407. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCallous-unemotional (CU) traits have been measured in a variety of sample-types (e.g., community or forensic) and from the perspective of different informants (e.g., self-report or parent-report) using the inventory of callous-unemotional traits total score (ICU-T). Although the positive association between CU traits and antisocial behavior is uncontroversial, the degree to which sample-types are different from each other has received little attention despite such knowledge being important for generalization and interpre...

Executive functioning in antisocial behavior: A multi-level systematic meta-analysis

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurobiological information - including executive functioning - is increasingly relevant for forensic clinical practice, as well as for the criminal justice system. Previous meta-analyses report that antisocial populations show impaired performance on executive functioning tasks, but these meta-analyses are outdated, have limitations in their methodological approach, and are therefore in need of an update. The current multi-level meta-analysis including 133 studies (2008-2023) confirms impaired performance in executive f...
