Exploring the Mechanism of Subjective Social Status on Compulsive Shopping Behavior: A Moderated Mediation Model of Self-compassion and Depression
AbstractThe present study aimed to explore the mediating role of depression in the relationship between subjective social status (SSS) and compulsive shopping behavior (CSB) and whether self-compassion (SC) played a moderating role in this model. The study was designed based on the cross-sectional method. The final sample includes 664 Vietnamese adults (Mage = 21.95,SD = 5.681 years). Participants completed an online survey, including questionnaires about SSS, CSB, depression, SC, and basic demographic information. First, the study results showed that SSS did not directly affect CSB (p >  .05, 95% CI includes ze...

What were you Thinking? A Comparison of Rater Coding and word Counts for Content Analysis of Thought Samples in Depression
This study examined the convergence between two methods of thought content analysis, manual coding by trained raters and computer-generated word counts, in a sample of clinically depressed participants assessed before and after treatment. Automated word count programs have traditionally used longer narrative texts so their utility for shorter thought samples is uncertain. Aims were to evaluate their direct correspondence and to determine whether the two methods yield similar results in assessing change from pre- to post-treatment.  Thirty participants recorded in-the-moment thoughts during random phone-based signaling. Th...

Irrational Beliefs Among Competitive High School Student Athletes: Are they General or Context-Driven?
AbstractWhile student-athletes strive for high performance both athletically and academically, understanding the role of beliefs as it relates to objective measures of performance has not been readily studied (Turner and Barker in J Appl Sport Psychol 25:131 –147, 2013) and even less so among youth. This research examined if irrational beliefs that are context specific to performance settings (academic vs. athletic) are more predictive of academic and athletic performance than those more general irrational beliefs among 30 high-school student athlete basketball players. While both general and context-specific irrational ...

Comparing Presence and Absence of Initial In-Person Contact and Written Feedback in RE & amp;CBT E-Supervision
This study ’s primary statistical method for calculating and combining effect sizes was Tarlow Baseline Corrected Tau and Open Meta Analyst software. Both groups scored above average on the first two scales, but the disclosure scale had highly irregular and inconsistent patterns. The combined qualitative and quantitative results suggest that novice therapists generally prefer to have their entire sessions reviewed with written feedback and that a single in-person contact is unlikely to influence e-supervision satisfaction and working alliance. Given that there are no adequately validated e-supervision models, this pilot ...

The Science of REBT as it Relates to Performance: Are We in the Starting Blocks or Near the Finish Line?
AbstractRational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) has a long history of application and scholarly work in support of its efficacy. The logical extension of the scientific application of REBT to the area of performance is one that makes sense but has lagged relative to the science of clinical applications. While the majority of the research has been with more clinical treatment applications (e.g., depression) the science of REBT to improve performance has been increasing in frequency and demonstrating efficacy. Insights as to the current status and future directions of the science of REBT as it relates to performance setting...

The COVID-19 Pandemic —Related Irrational and Rational Beliefs Scale. An Investigation of the REBT Theoretical Model
AbstractThe present study proposes a contextual specific, short measure of irrational and rational beliefs in order to provide a methodologically rigorous investigation of the REBT theoretical model. The COVID-19 Pandemic- Related Irrational and Rational Beliefs Scale was developed according with the REBT theory including rationally and irrationally worded items for each of the four cognitive processes. The data were collected online via google forms between March and June 2020, the sample comprised 798 individuals. A series of confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the scale. A t...

The Irrational Food Beliefs Scale: Validation of the Italian Version in Patients with Obesity
This study aimed to propose the Italian version of the IFBS and examine its psychometric properties. The tool was translated into Italian and administered to 503 Italian-speaking patients with obesity and 45 healthy controls. The clinical group also completed the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) interview, and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Principal factor analysis identified that 51.6% of the variance was accounted for by six factors, which we termed ‘self-deception on eating and weight control’, ‘beliefs about eating and emotion regulation’, ‘low tolerance for eating control’, ‘beliefs about eating an...

Is cognitive-behavioral coaching an empirically supported approach to coaching? a meta-analysis to investigate its outcomes and moderators
AbstractCognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the best evidence-based form of psychotherapy for various types of psychopathology and life problems. In time, cognitive-behavioral theory has been adapted for other types of interventions, like counseling, mentoring, training, and lately coaching. Cognitive-behavioral coaching (CBC) is a specific approach to coaching, that makes use of both CBT conceptualization for problems and evidence-based tools and techniques. Since there are studies focused on the impact of CBC on different outcomes and there is no quantitative review to analyze them, the purpose of the study is to synth...

Quality of Work-Life and Stress Management in a Rural Sample of Primary School Teachers: An Intervention Study
AbstractWorkloads, roles, and demands in rural schools have been shown to be stressful and this appears to affect the quality of work-life of workers compared to urban locations. Consequently, employees in rural areas become vulnerable to mental health problems and psychological disturbances, psychologists are underrepresented. To date, there is little or no literature on the roles of rural community-based psychologists that may primarily engage in clinical and non-clinical services in Nigeria. With this in mind, we studied the effect of a rational emotive occupational health intervention on the quality of work-life and st...
