The association between digital addiction and interpersonal relationships: A systematic review and meta-analysis Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-09-07 Xun Yang, Tingting Liao, Yan Wang, Lifeng Ren, Jianguang Zeng
Digital addiction (DA) has been identified as an emerging public health problem worldwide. However, the extent and direction of the association between DA and interpersonal relationships (IRs) are unknown. Does DA have adverse effects on IRs, and how credible is the evidence for this association in published analyses of real-world data? Using the PRISMA method, we conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively

Unification of the food and alcohol disturbance literature: A systematic review Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-14 Katherine A. Berry, Emily M. Choquette, Alison Looby, Diana Rancourt
Food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) reflects the functional relationship between disordered eating and alcohol use. There are two motivations underlying FAD - to enhance the effects of alcohol and/or to compensate for alcohol-related calories. Yet, most FAD studies have failed to adequately measure the motives underlying these behaviors, leading to inconsistent and imprecise findings. The aim of the

The global gaming community now exceeds 3 billion players, prompting increased attention from social and medical sciences regarding gaming-related disorders. Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) was incorporated into DSM-5 in 2013, and Gaming Disorder (GD) found its place in ICD-11 in 2019. A contentious criterion in IGD, not present in GD, revolves around withdrawal symptoms. This paper offers a theoretical

The cognitive theory of panic disorder: A systematic narrative review Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-13 Saarim Yasin Aslam, Tiago Zortea, Paul Salkovskis
The cognitive theory of panic disorder proposes that individuals with panic disorder have a relatively enduring tendency to catastrophically misinterpret bodily sensations resulting in panic attacks. We investigated whether the evidence is consistent with the theory and its predictions, if updates are required and sought to identify future research considerations. We searched Scopus, Web of Science

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.

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

Dual-substance use disorder couples: An integrative review and proposed theoretical model Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-05-18 Louisa Kane, Donald H. Baucom, Stacey B. Daughters
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

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
