An Implicit Measurement of Alexithymia
This study aims to develop an implicit measure of alexithymia using reaction times to emotional stimuli. Participants will be presented with facial expression images representing neutral, positive, and negative emotions. Participants will be asked to press a button as soon as they know how the image makes them feel. They do not need to indicate any emotion, simply press a button when they know. We will record the reaction time (RT) it takes for participants to report experiencing an emotional response to each image.
To assess the validity of this implicit measure, participants’ reaction times will be correlated with their scores on two established self-report measures: the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21).
Methodology:
A cross-sectional design will be employed with an expected sample size of 200 adult participants (aged 18+), recruited via Prolific. All participants will receive monetary compensation for their participation. There will be appr 100 trials, a third of them will be neutral expressions, a third of them will be positive expressions and a third will be negative expressions.
We will first conduct Pearson correlations to explore associations between TAS-20 scores, DASS-21 depression subscale scores, and reaction times for neutral, positive, and negative stimuli. Subsequently, three linear regression analyses will be performed—one for each stimulus type—with TAS-20 and depression scores as predictors and reaction time as the dependent variable. This will help determine whether reaction times are more strongly associated with alexithymia or depressive symptoms and whether this relationship might be stronger for a particular type of emotional expression.unknownothe

Exploratory factor analysis of Relationship Autonomy Scale (RAS): A preliminary study
This study aims to develop a new scale, Relationship autonomy scale (RAS). The Relationship Autonomy scale aims to assess autonomy in interpersonal intimate relationship. Its application can be found in relationship therapy as well as for research purposes. Exploratory actor analysis was executed on sample of 155 (N=155). The scale was found to be internally consistent and model fit of the data was acceptable. The scale is multidimensional and consists of three factors, Goal directedness (GD), Self- expression (SE), Social support (SS). Limitations and further scope for research is also discussed.

Verfahrensdokumentation für PQ: Problemfragebogen
Der PQ erfasst Alltagsprobleme von Jugendlichen in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen. Er besteht aus sieben Subskalen (Schulstress, Zukunft, Elternstress, Peerstress, Freizeit, Romantik, Identität) mit 64 Items. Reliabilität: Die Skalentrennschärfen liegen durchschnittlich bei r = .42, die Reliabilitätskoeffizienten liegen zwischen rtt = .70 und rtt = .84. Validität: Die Konstruktvalidität faktorenanalytisch untersucht. Zudem wurde die kulturübergreifende Angemessenheit und Anwendbarkeit bestätigt. Als Nachweis der Kriteriumsvalidität liegen korrelative Befunde zur Depressivität.The PQ measures the everyday problems of adolescents in various areas of life. It consists of seven subscales (school stress, future, parental stress, peer stress, leisure, romance, identity) with 64 items. Reliability: The average scale discriminatory power is r = .42, the reliability coefficients are between rtt = .70 and rtt = .84. Validity: The construct validity was examined by factor analysis. In addition, cross-cultural appropriateness and applicability were confirmed. Correlative findings on depression are presented as confirmation of criterion validity.reviewedpublishedVersio
Supplementary material to: Examining Associations Between Distress Tolerance and Anxiety Sensitivity and Comorbid Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) Using Multimodal Assessments
Trauma is common, and associated with PTSD and AUD, which co-occur. One explanation for this co-occurrence is that shared risk factors, such as anxiety sensitivity (AS), the cognitive appraisal of anxiety symptoms as harmful, and distress tolerance (DT), the perceived ability to withstand negative emotional states, may drive both conditions. The goal of this study was to test whether multimodal measures of AS (i.e., CO2 breathing task) and DT (i.e., computer-based tasks), are associated with PTSD and AUD symptoms and whether the AS measures in particular were associated with group membership (AUD-PTSD, AUD, PTSD, or trauma-exposed controls) in multivariate path models. Participants were recruited from a longitudinal study of college students and were eligible if they reported lifetime trauma and alcohol use, and if they lived in proximity of the lab. After completing an initial survey, participants who met criteria for one of the four groups included in the lab study (n=90), involving collection of subjective (e.g., self-report of psychophysiological symptoms) and physiological (i.e., heart rate, skin conductance) measures during the breathing task. Individuals with AUD-PTSD reported higher self-report ratings of psychophysiological symptoms during the recovery phase, compared to PTSD, AUD, and control groups. It may be that individuals with comorbid AUD-PTSD perceive that they have difficulty physiologically recovering from a stressor.unknownunknow

Perfectionism and Burnout in More Able Students in the UK: The Moderating Role of Friendship Availability and Friendship Quality
Burnout is a recognised wellbeing issue among students, including students who are more able and talented. In addition, perfectionism (a personality trait characterised by two higher-order dimensions – personal standards perfectionism and evaluative concerns perfectionism) has been found to be a risk factor for burnout among students generally and students who are more able and talented. To build on existing research in this area, in both groups of students, we aim to: (a) re-examine these relationships using a model that distinguishes between four within-person combinations of the two higher-order perfectionism dimensions; and (b) examine whether the extent to which each perfectionism subtype is associated with burnout levels differs depending on the perceived availability and quality of friendships in school. Our research will identify which perfectionism sub-types are most vulnerable to burnout and whether this differs as a function of important friendship variables. In these regards, our results have the potential to inform targeted intervention strategies for mitigating burnout risk among student groups at a school level.unknownothe
Code For: Bad Beauty: The Impact of Affect and Biospheric Values on Beauty Judgments of Environmental Pollution Photography
Aesthetic judgments are influenced by both integral and incidental feelings, yet the relative strength of these influences remains unclear. We investigated how incidental mood, integral affect, and biospheric values affect beauty judgments of photographs depicting environmental pollution. Participants (N = 501) were randomly assigned to a positive, neutral, or negative mood condition before rating the beauty of images paired with neutral or negative descriptive texts. Results replicated the moral framing effect: negative descriptive texts led to significantly lower beauty ratings (p < .001, d = 0.5). While a good mood led to higher beauty ratings than a bad mood (p = .011, d = 0.25), the overall incidental mood effect was only marginally significant. Biospheric values negatively predicted beauty ratings in the negative text condition, but not in the neutral condition, suggesting that value-driven responses depend on contextual cues. In conclusion, our findings highlight the role of integral affect in aesthetic judgments and suggest that incidental mood effects were overshadowed. Future research should examine whether aesthetic judgments are inherently resistant to incidental affect or if stronger manipulations could produce more robust effects.unknownunknow
