Schizophrenia, a debilitating psychiatric disorder, has a long-term impact on social and occupational functioning. While negative symptoms, notably amotivation, are recognized as poor prognostic factors, the positive force of patient motivation (autonomous motivation) remains underexplored. This systematic review, guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT), investigated the impact of motivation on clinical

Evaluating the validity of eye-tracking tasks and stimuli in detecting high-risk infants later diagnosed with autism: A meta-analysis Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-14 Wenwen Hou, Yingying Jiang, Yunmei Yang, Liqi Zhu, Jing Li
Gaze abnormalities are well documented in infants at elevated risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, variations in experimental design and stimuli across studies have led to mixed results. The current meta-analysis aimed to identify which type of eye tracking task and stimulus are most effective at differentiating high-risk infants (siblings of children with ASD) who later meet diagnosis

A systematic review of interpersonal processes and their measurement within experience sampling studies of self-injurious thoughts and behaviours Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-10 Julie J. Janssens, Glenn Kiekens, Marieke Jaeken, Olivia J. Kirtley
Self-injurious thoughts and behaviours (SITBs) are a leading cause of death, and interpersonal processes (IPs) appear to play a role in SITBs. This systematic review synthesises the literature on IPs and SITBs in daily life and addresses four critical questions: (1) Which IPs have been assessed and how, (2) How are differences in IPs individuals associated with SITBs?, (3) How are differences in IPs

High-quality clinical care and research on suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) depends on availability and implementation of reliable and valid measures of STBs. In contrast to studies examining STB risk factors, screening instruments, or treatment, little research has rigorously examined the content, characteristics, and psychometric properties of STB measures themselves.

Reciprocal developmental pathways between future-related thinking and symptoms of adolescent depression and anxiety: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-08 Peiyao Tang, Katarzyna Kostyrka-Allchorne, Ana-Maria Butura, Jacqueline Phillips-Owen, Edmund Sonuga-Barke
Adolescence is a time when important decisions about the future are made and vulnerability to mental health problems increases. We reviewed longitudinal studies examining the reciprocal pathways between future-related thinking (hopelessness, hope, optimism/positive future expectations) and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms. Evidence from 22 studies ( = 10,682) found that negative future-related

The influence of threat on visuospatial perception, affordances, and protective behaviour: A systematic review and meta-analysis Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-06-03 Erin MacIntyre, Eleana Pinto, Brendan Mouatt, Michael L. Henry, Christopher Lamb, Felicity A. Braithwaite, Ann Meulders, Tasha R. Stanton
Perception has been conceptualised as an active and adaptive process, based upon incoming sensory inputs, which are modified by top-down factors such as cognitions. Visuospatial perception is thought to be scaled based on threat, with highly threatening objects or contexts visually inflated to promote escape or avoidance behaviours. This meta-analytical systematic review quantified the effect and evidence

Psychopathy measurement practices moderate psychopathy's association with anxiety and depression: A comprehensive meta-analysis Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-05-26 Blair D. Batky, Beatriz Mendez, Andrew Bontemps, Randall T. Salekin
Theories of psychopathy development traditionally emphasize that individuals high in psychopathy experience diminished internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression). However, many studies find null or even positive relationships between psychopathy and internalizing. The current meta-analysis therefore aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of heterogeneity in psychopathy-anxiety/depression

Committed romantic relationships between two individuals with Substance Use Disorder (or dual-SUD couples) are prevalent. Dual-SUD couples have poor treatment engagement and outcomes. Research has established a reciprocal link between relationship dynamics (e.g., conflict, intimacy) and substance use. Thus, the couple's relationship presents a distinct social context for both partner's substance use

Cognitive behavioral therapies have been identified as evidence-based treatments for anxiety-related disorders. However, data supporting the effectiveness of these treatments have been largely collected from participants with majoritized identities, potentially limiting the extent to which they can be considered “evidence-based” for clients from minoritized groups. The current review examined sociodemographic

Attention biases towards disease-relevant cues have been implicated in numerous disorders and health conditions, such as anxiety, cancer, drug-use disorders, and chronic pain. Attention bias modification (ABM) has shown that changing attention biases can change related emotional processes. ABM most commonly uses a modified dot-probe task, which has received increasing criticism regarding its reliability

Time-lagged panel models in psychotherapy process and mechanisms of change research: Methodological challenges and advances Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-04-27 Fredrik Falkenström
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in utilizing time-lagged panel models to study mechanisms of change in psychotherapy. These models offer valuable insights into the dynamic relationships between variables over time and offer stronger causal inference capabilities than cross-sectional analyses.

Although psychological treatments are broadly recognized as evidence-based interventions for various mental disorders, challenges remain. For example, a substantial proportion of patients receiving such treatments do not fully recover, and many obstacles hinder the dissemination, implementation, and training of psychological treatments. These problems require those in our field to rethink some of our

Mentalizing, making sense of mental states, is hypothesized to have a central role in self-organization and social learning. Findings support this notion, but the extent of the association between mentalizing and various correlates has not been meta-analyzed. Furthermore, mentalizing presumably occurs with (explicit) and without (implicit) awareness but few studies have attempted to disentangle these
