Ruminative response style is associated with a negative bias in the perception of emotional facial expressions in healthy women without a history of clinical depression
ConclusionsHabitual ruminating about depressive symptoms in healthy, never clinically depressed individuals goes along with a negative bias in the perception of others’ facial expressions. Negatively biasing social perception might be one mechanism by which symptom-focused rumination might increase vulnerability for depression.

Effect of dietary restraint and mood state on attentional processing of food cues
ConclusionsNeutral mood may be associated with enhanced processing of palatable food cues. Critically, results do not support the hypothesized link between negative mood and attention bias for food. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Dual-tasking during recall of negative memories or during visual perception of images: Effects on vividness and emotionality
ConclusionsLooking at an image in VR that represents a memory while carrying out a dual-task may be at least as effective as recalling the memory during the dual-task. Interestingly, visually supporting a negative memory does not seem to prevent memory degrading by dual-tasking. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Secondary extinction reduces reinstatement of threat expectancy and conditioned skin conductance responses in human fear conditioning
ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of secondary extinction and its effect on reinstatement of conditioned fear in humans. We relate our findings to the earlier research with rats and discuss their relevance for exposure therapy. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Why therapists should walk the talk: The theoretical and empirical case for personal practice in therapist training and professional development
Publication date: Available online 4 October 2018Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryAuthor(s): James Bennett-LevyAbstractThe key proposition of this invited essay is that personal practice (PP) is central to the development of the most effective therapists. To date, the discussion about personal practice in therapist training and professional development has largely revolved around the value of personal therapy, subscribed to by some schools of psychotherapy but not by others. However, since the turn of the century a new landscape of personal practices for therapists has emerged. In particular, ...

Associations between depression, anxious arousal and manifestations of psychological inflexibility
ConclusionsFindings provide preliminary support that multiple facets of inflexibility may emerge from a broader overarching vulnerability for internalizing psychopathology. This overarching inflexibility construct may have stronger associations with depression than with anxious arousal. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

High delusional ideation is associated with false pictorial memory
ConclusionsIncreased false memory is associated with the positive dimension of schizotypy and delusional ideation and not the disorganised or negative dimensions. Furthermore, our results suggest that those high in positive schizotypy/delusional ideation require less evidence before they are willing to call an item old.

No evidence of seasonal variation in mild forms of depression
ConclusionsMild depression is not related to seasonal changes or proxy measures of light exposure. The findings cast doubt on light deficiency as a causal factor of depressive disorders, which underpins the inclusion of the seasonal pattern modifier in DSM-5 and light supplementation as a treatment modality.

The effect of worrying on intolerance of uncertainty and positive and negative beliefs about worry
ConclusionsThe results suggest that engaging in worry can increase scores on measures of the beliefs and thought patterns often used to causally explain worry. The results are in line with recent research showing bidirectionality between anxiety related symptoms and their associated clinical constructs, and are consistent with an approach which sees anxiety symptoms as part of an evolved integrated threat management system that alerts the individual to threats to goals or challenges, and coordinates cognitive, behavioral, and affective reactions to enable effective responding to these threats and challenges.

Pilot for novel context generalization paradigm
ConclusionsFindings suggest that individuals high in anxiety show greater contextual fear generalization as measured by US expectancy. Results are discussed in terms of potential mechanisms that contribute to pervasive anxiety. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

An experimental investigation of the impact of critical and warm comments on state paranoia in a non-clinical sample
ConclusionsCriticism is sufficient to elicit increases in paranoia in non-clinical participants. Warm comments are insufficient to significantly reduce paranoia or provide protective effects against subsequent negative interpersonal experiences, highlighting the need to balance therapeutic warmth with amelioration of social stressors in paranoia.

The effects of attentional bias modification on emotion regulation
ConclusionsBy showing that attentional bias modification procedures affect the manner in which people deal with emotions, we add empirical weight to the conceptual overlap between attentional bias modification and emotion regulation. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)
