Effects of imagery rescripting on consolidated memories of an aversive film
ConclusionsAdding to the current literature on ImRs as an intervention for emotional memories, the current study underscores that a multiple-day trauma film paradigm can be used to investigate the short-term efficacy and working mechanisms of ImRs, but also points towards useful modifications to the paradigm.

Do thoughts about dieting matter? Testing the relationship between thoughts about dieting, body shape concerns, and state self-esteem
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that for males, thoughts about dieting may actually be associated with greater state self-esteem, which may indirectly predict lower body shape concerns. In contrast, for females, when thoughts about dieting activate body shape concerns, poorer state self-esteem may follow. These results highlight important, potentially gender-specific relationships between thoughts about dieting, body shape concerns, and state self-esteem.

Examining the effects of punishment schedule density on the development and maintenance of avoidance and safety behaviours: Implications for exposure therapies
ConclusionsThese findings are important because they provide experimental evidence on the conditions that render safety behaviors difficult to amend, and offer important recommendations for clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Obsessive-compulsive tendencies are related to seeking proxies for internal states in everyday life
ConclusionsThese results are consistent with and expand the Seeking Proxies for Internal States (SPIS) model and may have implications for understanding and treating individual with OCD. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Effects of induced appearance-related interpretation bias: A test of the cognitive-behavioral model of body dysmorphic disorder
ConclusionsFindings suggest that appearance-related interpretation bias is modifiable both explicitly and more implicitly via CBM-I in a mentally healthy sample. The causal status of interpretation bias in BDD maintenance warrants further investigation. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

The causal role of selective attention for thin-ideal images on negative affect and rumination
ConclusionsThese results provide the first causal evidence for the role of attentional bias towards thin-ideal images in negative emotional vulnerability. Importantly, these results suggest attentional bias may serve as a risk factor for mood reactivity and a potential target for strategies designed to enhance emotional resilience.

Experimentally-enhanced perceptions of meaning confer resilience to the interpersonal adversity implicated in suicide risk
ConclusionsMeaning-making interventions may attenuate the impact of proximal interpersonal antecedents of suicidal desire. Enhancing resilience in this manner can potentially improve the efficacy of prevention efforts beyond the direct amelioration of suicide risk factors.

When is experiential avoidance harmful in the moment? Examining global experiential avoidance as a moderator
ConclusionsOverall, these results suggest engaging in experiential avoidance in the moment has more negative, immediate effects particularly among those who engage in global, inflexible patterns of experiential avoidance. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Trigger warning: Empirical evidence ahead
ConclusionsTrigger warnings may inadvertently undermine some aspects of emotional resilience. Further research is needed on the generalizability of our findings, especially to collegiate populations and to those with trauma histories.
