The goal of the present study is to examine how variability in people’s reports of PPR are associated with affect responses, satisfaction, and health. Please see the pre-registration document attached. Details about the hypotheses, variables of interest, and planned analyses are outlined within this document.

The goal of the present study is to examine, for the first time, how the momentary emotional differentiation (ED)––the within-person fluctuations in the degree to which people use discrete emotion labels such as anger or sadness to describe their feelings (Barrett et al., 2001; Erbas et al., 2021)––is associated with individuals’ momentary satisfaction and health. Please see the pre-registration document attached. Details about the hypotheses, variables of interest, and planned analyses are outlined within this...

Background: Longitudinal studies examining mental health trajectories in refugees and asylum seekers are scarce. Objectives: To investigate trajectories of psychological symptoms and wellbeing in refugees and asylum seekers, and identify factors associated with these trajectories. Method: 912 asylum seekers and refugees from the control arm of three trials in Europe (n = 229), Turkey (n = 320), and Uganda (n = 363) were included. We described trajectories of psychological symptoms and wellbeing, and used trauma...

A program of research that examines the quality of infants’ attachment relationships with both parents to evaluate their integrative effects on later life functioning.

We examined the effect of plausibility violations in a virtual environment (VE) on spatial presence. After reviewing research on the association between plausibility and spatial presence, we present a dual-systems approach to understanding the effect of plausibility (or violations thereof) on spatial presence. We conceptualize the feeling of being present in a VE as a lower-order cognitive process. Perceptions of plausibility violations might represent higher-order cognitive processes that could interfere with spatial presence. We present...

The aim of this study is to investigate the following research questions: 1. What is the overall effectiveness of any psychotherapy in reducing suicidal thoughts and behavior? 2. Which participant characteristics moderate the overall effects of psychotherapy? 3. Which intervention characteristics moderate their effectiveness? In addition, the analyses will be performed in subgroups of interest: different types of psychotherapy and specific psychiatric patient groups. In addition, the analyses will be performed in subgroups of interest...

Background. The lockdown-measures in response to COVID-19 in long-term care organizations might have impacted problem behaviour and behavioural functioning of people with intellectual disability. This study tested changes in reported incidents, in particular regarding aggression, unexplained absence, and, for contrast, medication errors. Methods. Meta-data on weekly incident and near-incident reports from 2016 to June 2020 involving over 12,000 clients with mild to serious intellectual disability of a long-term care organization were subjected to Interrupted Time...

ASD is a lifelong condition, leading to a need for more studies exploring the adult population (Wise et.al. 2017). Autistic individuals have rates of co-morbidity as high as 58% to 98% (Rosa et.al. 2016). Depression and anxiety are the most common (Uljarevic et.al. 2019), with an estimation of current and lifetime prevalence in adults with ASD at 23% to 37% for depressive disorder and 27% to 42% for any anxiety disorder (Hollocks. et.al. 2019). This...

Autism is a heterogeneous condition and treatment options vary. This study will investigate whether differing characteristics/profiles of children with autism are linked to the use of alternative treatments. Alternative treatments are used to treat a variety of other ASD symptoms and comorbid difficulties. There is some evidence that the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments is more common in autism compared to other disorders (Höfer et al., 2017). The use of alternative treatments...

In a previous study we found that American participants were more likely to take a Covid-vaccine developed by American scientists than by Chinese scientists; moreover this effect was mediated by conspiracy beliefs. In this study we run a (slightly adapted) Chinese version of this study in a Chinese sample. The main prediction is that Chinese participants will be more likely to take a Covid-vaccine developed by Chinese scientists than by American scientists. Moreover, we expect...

It is well-established from hundreds of randomized trials and dozens of meta-analyses that psychological interventions are effective in the treatment of depression. However, most of this research is focused on outpatients. Relatively few studies have focused on inpatients. Although some previous meta-analyses and systematic reviews have integrated the results of randomized trials in this field, these previous meta-analyses and reviews are outdated, and focus only on specific settings, such as psychiatric inpatient settings and nursing...

It is widely acknowledged that exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) (i.e., reporting exposure to physical and psychological violence, torture, bombings and other war-related events) may have an impact on the psychosocial status of individuals (Attanayake et al., 2009, Turrini et al., 2017). Refugees and asylum seekers may have been exposed to multiple PTEs before migration, during the transition to a new country, and after resettlement. Experience of PTEs may generate a wide range of...
