Appetitive augmental functions and common physical properties in a pain-tolerance metaphor: An extended replication
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Rosina Pendrous, Lee Hulbert-Williams, Kevin D. Hochard, Nicholas J. Hulbert-WilliamsAbstractRelational frame theory claims that the tacit understanding of metaphorical language rests upon our ability to derive relations based on relevant contextual cues; with metaphor aptness being a function of learning history and the number and nature of contextual cues presented. Recent experimental research has explored whether metaphor aptness plays a role in changing behaviour. Sierra, Ruiz, Flórez, Riaño Hernández, and ...

A pilot study of acceptance and commitment therapy for sexual minorities experiencing work stress
Publication date: Available online 19 February 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): R. Sonia Singh, Tanya S. Watford, Riley E. Cotterman, William H. O'BrienAbstractApproximately ten million individuals in the United States self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or queer, and comprise 4% of the work force. There are currently no global protections against discrimination based on sexual identify in the workplace. Therefore, several people who identify as sexual minorities may experience discrimination, incivility, and hostility in the work place leading to burnout, as well as poor mental and p...

Using acceptance and commitment training to enhance the effectiveness of behavioral skills training
Publication date: Available online 20 February 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Alexandra Little, Jonathan Tarbox, Khaled AlzaabiAbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the use of acceptance and commitment training (ACT) to enhance the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) used within a train-the-trainer model, in the context of an autism clinic. The study utilized an ABC design embedded within a multiple baseline across staff trainer participants, who were working in applied behavior analysis staff trainer jobs. Each participant received an initial BST training on how ...

Measuring occurrences of self and other discriminations in relation to mental health in adolescent textual responses
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Orla Moran, Louise McHughAbstractThe importance of a healthy sense of self for adolescent mental health is well documented. According to Relational Frame Theory there are three distinct self-discriminations, as well as three corresponding senses of other. Recent evidence suggests that in naturally occurring speech these discriminations are predictive of lower distress, as well as increased well-being, and psychological flexibility. The present study investigates these self and other discriminations in a sample of 76...

A multicultural examination of experiential avoidance: AAQ – II measurement comparisons across Asian American, Black, Latinx, Middle Eastern, and White college students
Publication date: Available online 1 February 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Nicholas C. Borgogna, Ryon C. McDermott, April Berry, Emma C. Lathan, Jose GonzalesAbstractExperiential avoidance is a common psychological process, a core component of third-wave behavioral therapies, and a robust predictor of general psychopathology. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ version II [AAQ – II]; Bond et al. 2011) is a popular and widely used measure of experiential avoidance. However, studies examining the measurement and function of the AAQ-II across cultures are largely relegated to trans...

An exploratory analysis of Relational Density Theory: Relational resistance and gravity
Publication date: Available online 30 January 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Jordan Belisle, Mark R. DixonAbstractWe conducted an initial exploration of several model assumptions in Relational Density Theory (Belisle & Dixon, in press) across two experiments with 18 college student participants. The first experiment showed that relational density (response accuracy/response time) may be influenced by relative rates of reinforcement or training exposure, and that denser classes were more resistant to counterconditioning (i.e., relational resistance). In the second experiment, two classes were...

The nomological network of cognitive fusion among people living with HIV: Associations with rumination, shame, and depressive symptoms
Publication date: Available online 28 January 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Caitlin M. O'Loughlin, David S. Bennett, C. Virginia O'HayerAbstractThere is little research examining the interrelationships between cognitive fusion and the conceptually related constructs of shame, rumination, and self-compassion, especially among people living with HIV (PLWH). Given that PLWH are at risk for depression and anxiety, it is important to understand the nomological network of cognitive fusion and related risk factors for these internalizing symptoms among PLWH. The purpose of this study is to examine...

A meta-analysis of the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy for children
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Shuanghu Fang, Dongyan DingAbstractCompared to the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in the treatment of adult psychopathology, there are fewer empirical studies on children, which makes it difficult to summarize the use of ACT in children. The current study presented the results of a meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of ACT for 1189 children. Compared with treatment as usual (TAU) and waitlist, ACT significantly improved the symptoms of primary outcome measures suc...

Mindfulness profiles in a sample of self-reported sleep disturbance individuals
Publication date: Available online 20 January 2020Source: Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceAuthor(s): Daniel Ruivo Marques, Ana Allen Gomes, Anabela Sousa PereiraAbstractThere is some evidence that insomnia seems to constitute a heterogeneous sleep disorder in which different psychological and neurophysiological variables may have differential roles. Mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches suggest new constructs for psychopathology and health sciences which can be useful to investigate in insomnia. In this paper, our aim was to explore eventual homogenous subgroups pertaining to mindfulness within a selected sam...
