Sleep disturbances in treatment ‐seeking OCD‐patients: Changes after concentrated exposure treatment
Research indicates that patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) frequently suffer from comorbid sleep difficulties, and that these difficulties often are not clinically recognized and diagnosed. There has been limited research investigating if comorbid sleep difficulties impair treatment outcome for OCD and if the sleep difficulties change following OCD‐treatment. Thirty‐six patients with obsessive compulsive disorder underwent concentrated exposure treatment delivered in a group over four consecutive days and were assessed with measures of OCD, depressive symptoms and sleep disturbance at three different tim...

Information about expert decision and post ‐decision distortion of facts of own decision
Cognitive representations of decision problems are dynamic. During and after a decision, evaluations and representations of facts change to support the decision made by a decision maker her‐ or himself (Svenson, 2003). We investigated post‐decision distortion of facts (consolidation). Participants were given vignettes with facts about two terminally ill patients, only one of whom could be given lifesaving surgery. In Study 1, contrary to the prediction, the results showed that facts were distorted after a decision both by participants who were responsible for the decisions themselves and when doctors had made the decis...

Adding “Circle of Security – Parenting” to treatment as usual in three Swedish infant mental health clinics. Effects on parents’ internal representations and quality of parent‐infant interaction
This study presents effects of adding Circle of Security‐Parenting (COS‐P) to an already established comprehensive therapeutic model for early parent‐child intervention in three Swedish infant mental health (IMH) clinics. Parents’ internal representations and quality of parent‐infant interaction were studied in a clinical sample comprised of 52 parent‐infant dyads randomly allocated to two comparable groups. One group consisted of 28 dyads receiving treatment as usual (TAU) supplemented with COS‐P in a small group format, and another group of 24 dyads receiving TAU only. Assessments were made at baseline (T1)...

Parent –child interactions during traditional and interactive media settings: A pilot randomized control study
We examined the emotional availability of mothers and their 2‐year‐old child during the previous three contexts using a randomized crossover design (n = 22) in a laboratory room. Among other results, mothers were more sensitive and structuring during joint gaming on a tablet than when engaged in toy play or watching TV. In addition, mothers were more hostile toward their children during play with traditional toys than during joint tablet gaming and television co‐viewing. Such findings provide new insights into the impact of new media on parent–child interactions, chiefly by demonstrating that interactive media devi...

Alexithymia as a potential source of symptom over ‐reporting: An exploratory study in forensic patients and non‐forensic participants
The traditional interpretation of symptom over‐reporting is that it indicates malingering. We explored a different perspective, namely that over‐reporting of eccentric symptoms is related to deficits in articulating internal experiences (i.e., alexithymia). Given that alexithymia has been linked to sleep problems and that fatigue may fuel inattentive responding to symptom lists, we administered measures of alexithymia (TAS‐20) and symptom over‐reporting (SIMS), but also sleep quality (SLEEP‐50) to forensic psychiatric outpatients (n = 40) and non‐forensic participants (n = 40). Forensic patients scored signific...

Media experiences and associations with mental health among the bereaved of the MH17 ‐disaster: A latent profile analysis
This study evaluated these experiences and associations following the MH17‐disaster. How media reports were experienced (nine topics, modified MAS), depression symptoms (QIDS‐SR), functional problems (WSAS) and event‐related coping‐self‐efficacy (CSE) were assessed about one year post‐disaster (May‐August 2015) among Dutch bereaved (N = 152). A substantial minority reported negative experiences such as reports made me angry (30%) and made me sad (48%). Latent profile analysis with symptoms, problems and coping self‐efficacy as indicators, identified four classes of post‐disaster mental health: a Well‐f...

Individuation in relation to parents as a predictor of career goals and career optimism in emerging adults
The aim of this study was to examine the associations of Slovenian emerging adults’ individuation characteristics (in relation to mother and father) with career goals and career optimism. We were interested in contributions of age, gender, certainty of study choice, and individuation dimensions when predicting intrinsic/extrinsic career goals and career optimism. The participants provided self‐reports on the Individuation Test for Emerging Adults, the Career Goals Scale and the Career Futures Inventory. The results showed that age did not relate to emerging adults’ career goals; however, older students reported lower...

Adaptation of the Utrecht ‐Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U‐MICS) to the measurement of the parental identity domain
The present studies examined the psychometric properties of the Utrecht‐Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U‐MICS) adapted to the measurement of identity formation in the parental identity domain. As the parental identity domain has only been studied within the neo‐Eriksonian approach to a very limited extent, the aim of these studies was to prepare a short, valid and reliable tool for the measurement of parental identity in order to fill this gap. The associations of commitment, in‐depth exploration and reconsideration of commitment in the parental domain with well‐being and with other identity constructs...
