Persecutory delusions: effects of Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation and the Maudsley Review Training Programme on social anxiety, jumping to conclusions, belief inflexibility and paranoia
ConclusionsThis study suggests that whilst both CBM-I and the MRTP may have a positive impact on paranoia and social anxiety, the effects on JTC/belief inflexibility are largely specific to the MRTP. Relationships between social anxiety, JTC, belief inflexibility and paranoia existed in 10/12 individuals, supporting the Threat Anticipation Model.

Distress tolerance across self-report, behavioral and psychophysiological domains in women with eating disorders, and healthy controls
ConclusionDuring the PASAT-C, individuals with eating disorders (EDs) compared to HCs report higher levels of negative emotions, despite similar physiological and behavioral manifestations of distress. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Effects of social anxiety on metaphorical associations between emotional valence and clothing brightness
ConclusionsWe may expand Lakoff and Johnson’s (1999) conceptual metaphor theory by showing the relationships between social anxiety and malfunction in metaphorical processing. Malfunctions in metaphorical processing could lead to various types of psychological disorders which have deficiencies in emotional processing.

The paradox of moral cleansing: When physical cleansing leads to increased contamination concerns
ConclusionsThis research provides further evidence of the influence of moral threat in contamination concerns, and the limits of moral cleansing. Self-affirmation resulted in less contamination concerns under both a neutral condition and activated obsessive type cognitions. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Differential roles of resistance to proactive interference and suppression of prepotent responses in overgeneral memory
ConclusionsResults exemplify the differential associations of two components of inhibition and OGM, suggesting that resistance to PI, in particular, may contribute to the development and/or maintenance of OGM and associated depressive disorders. Directions for future research are discussed. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Rumination and the mood-as-input hypothesis: Does congruence matter?
ConclusionsOverall, the current findings provide insight into the conditions under which depressive rumination is most likely to occur. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

The influence of uncertainty and intolerance of uncertainty on anxiety
ConclusionsUncertainty could be regarded as a trigger of worrying thoughts, while IU is an important cognitive vulnerability factor of anxiety and related symptoms. The possible reasons for these findings and their implications were discussed in light of theoretical models of anxiety, worry, and IU.

The attention training technique causally reduces self-focus following worry provocation and reduces cognitive anxiety among self-focused individuals
ConclusionsResults support ATT causally interrupting self-focused states and that ATT is particularly effective in reducing cognitive anxiety among individuals who are self-focused. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Banning pre-event rumination in social anxiety: A preliminary randomized trial
ConclusionsPre-event rumination is a durable process but banning pre-event rumination using metacognitive therapy techniques shows promise for specifically addressing this maladaptive process. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

The influence of positive and negative affect on emotional attention
ConclusionsThe data suggest that, in line with the previous subclinical literature, dysphoric individuals are slow to disengage attention from emotional information at early stages of processing and are consistent with the possibility that patterns of orienting of attention might be qualitatively different in subclinical versus clinical populations.

My Child's thoughts frighten me: Maladaptive effects associated with parents' interpretation and management of children's intrusive thoughts
ConclusionsParents' misinterpretation of children's intrusions may operate as a mechanism by which OCS are generationally transmitted. Results can inform OC prevention programs that target parents' cognitive biases in their own psychotherapy. (Source: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

Video-based CBT-E improves eating patterns in obese patients with eating disorder: A single case multiple baseline study
ConclusionCBT can be delivered effectively via a mobile video application and, despite some technological issues, can be well received by patients. All participants in this study had previous low access to mental health services and reported high satisfaction with the treatment format.
