Worrying But Not Acting: The Role of Intolerance of Uncertainty in Explaining the Discrepancy in COVID-19-Related Responses
AbstractResearch indicates that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is associated with COVID-19 emotional responses, but not necessarily with engaging in COVID-19 preventative behaviors. The current study was designed to further evaluate this discrepancy. Participants (N = 454) completed self-report forms about COVID-19 emotional responses (i.e., fear, worry, sensitivity to symptoms) and COVID-19 behavioral interference/responses (i.e., interference in daily activities, interference due to worry, and engagement in preventative behaviors). IU was positively asso ciated with COVID-19-related emotional responses as well as t...

Symptom-Level Network Analysis Distinguishes Unique Associations of Repetitive Negative Thinking and Experiential Avoidance with Depression and Anxiety in a Transdiagnostic Clinical Sample
ConclusionsRepetitive negative thinking and experiential avoidance each were associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety but did not overlap across the comorbid symptom network. More broadly, applying network analysis helps to more precisely identify which symptoms of depression and anxiety are associated with transdiagnostic maintenance factors, thus providing insight into how these factors may contribute to the maintenance of co-occurring disorders.

Differential Effect of Emotional Stimuli on Performance on Verbal and Facial Priming Tasks and Their Relation to PTSD Symptoms in Girls with Intrafamiliar Sexual Abuse
ConclusionsResults suggest that verbal and facial stimuli with emotional valence may have differential effects on girls with a history of CSA. The enhanced priming effect for emotional faces, together with the deficiencies in priming for words could, therefore, be associated with symptoms of re-experiencing in girls with CSA.
