Article describes how the Aberrant Salience Inventory (ASI) is a useful tool to measure salience abnormalities among the general population. The authors claim that there is strong clinical and scientific evidence that salience alteration is linked to psychosis.

Article describes how Filipino migrant workers in Macao are vulnerable to posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) symptoms and addictive behaviours due to trauma histories, postmigration stressors, and access to alcohol and gambling venues. The current study investigated differential relations between PTSD symptoms and addictive behaviours in a polytrauma exposed sample of Filipino domestic workers in Macao(SAR), China.

Poster on a longitudinal follow-up of individuals trained by member programs of the nationwide Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology (CUDCP) who participated in any of the internship match studies described by Callahan, Collins, and Klonoff (2010) and Callahan, Hogan, Klonoff, and Collins (2014). It was presented at the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology Virtual Midwinter Meeting in January 2022.

Article discusses the utility of SCED data for trauma research, provides recommendations for addressing challenges specific to SCED approaches, and introduces a tutorial for two Bayesian models—the Bayesian interrupted time-series (BITS) model and the Bayesian unknown change-point (BUCP) model—that can be used to analyze the typically small sample, autocorrelated, SCED data.

Article drawing on a process-focused model of interpersonal decentering's causal validity, the authors manipulated activation experimentally, comparing decentering scores from expressive writing essays under standard instructions (activation condition) versus control instructions, then correlated decentering scores with use of activated language. With condition controlled, both decentering scores correlated significantly with greater proportions of present-tense verbs, positive emotion words, and cognitive words, showing trait effects.

Poster exploring the representation of race/ethnicity, disability, and gender identification of doctoral psychology students in the U.S. compared to national population figures. It was presented at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology held on January 17-18, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

Article states that though adult psychopathic traits emerge from both genetic and environmental risk, no studies have examined etiologic associations between adult psychopathic traits and experiences of parenting in childhood, or the extent to which parenting practices may impact the heritability of adult psychopathic traits using a genetically-informed design. Utilizing a genetically-informed design, the authors found that both genetic and non-shared environmental factors contribute to the emergence of psychopathic traits.

Poster discussing the role of ethnicity in the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality. Research indicates an increased risk of suicide and suicidal behavior among individuals with PTSD. Latinx groups, in particular, have lower rates of suicide injury death in comparison to non-Latinx groups. These findings do not explain increased suicidality in non-Latinx clients, but is congruent with the Latinx health paradox, the contradictory finding of better health outcomes for Latinx despite known additional disadvantages.

Article describes how authors examined publications of medical N-of-1 trials to examine whether they meet the evidence standards and the criteria for demonstrating evidence of a relation between an independent and an outcome variable per the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards for SCEDs. The authors also examined the appropriateness of the data analytic techniques in the special context of N-of-1 designs.

Poster exploring the role of income on depression severity among college atmosphere. The hypothesis that students that reported being low income will also report more depressive symptoms. This was partially supported, but students from the middle income range reported more depressive symptoms that both low and high income students.

Article examining the psychometric properties of the self-report version of Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder (PSCD) Scale in a sample of community adolescents in mainland China. Findings provide preliminary evidence for the four-factor structure of the PSCD and support for the utility of the self-report PSCD for measuring psychopathic traits and CD in Chinese adolescents.

Poster examining if gender differences exist for two common anxiety symptom categories: mood (e.g. nervousness) and somatic (e.g. sweating). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to examine gender differences in anxiety symptomology and yielded no significant differences in anxiety severity based on gender. A pattern was present of more somatic symptoms than mood symptoms for both males and females, and males reported lower rates of anxiety symptomology combined when compared to women.

Article examining the differences in predictors of depression among individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) and osteoarthritis (OA) using a range of health, demographic, and psychological variables.

Article discusses how the child-caregiver relationship is the foundation for which intervention occurs. The purpose of this study is to explore how researchers and clinicians might collect direct data on IOH to assess the acceptability of an intervention.

Article investigates psychosocial factors that impact the academic performance of nursing students.

Article reviews several common areas of focus in quantitative methods with the hope of providing guidance on conducting and reporting quantitative analyses. The review addresses causal inferences, measurement issues, handling missing data, testing for assumptions, dealing with nested data, and providing evidence for outcomes.

Article is a study that aims to identify actionable clinical and culture characteristics of IVF treatment that influence blastocyst developmental rate, with the goal of acquiring optimal success.

Article is a study that presented participants with a bar-pressing challenge relevant to their identity after having exposed them to a prime that made their mortality more or less salient. This study adds substantively to a new line of support for terror management theory and documents the predictive utility of a proposed blended analysis of associated effort processes.

This article investigates the relationship between CBD use and marijuana use to understand the antecedents and consequences of co-use of these two cannabis products.

This article is a comment responding to a critique by Patrick et. al (2020) of the authors' recent study that raised questions regarding the three-factor model of the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM). The reply demonstrates additional problems with the three-factor TriPM model and shows that the seven-factor model out-performs the three-factor model in predicting correlates of psychopathy.

This article is a review that examines and summarises the available knowledge base on intervention techniques focused on positive memories. This review serves as a quick reference guide to help professionals’ access to descriptions and information on empirical evidence of positive memory techniques, improving their therapeutic arsenal to enhance well-being and therapeutic outcomes in their patients.

This article investigates the psychometric properties of the Posttrauma Risky Behaviors Questionnaire (PRBQ) using item response theory to examine (a) item analysis (b) person fit, and (c) differential item functioning (DIF) across gender-based groups and two different samples.

Article describes how incarcerated youth are characterized by particularly high rates of childhood trauma, a significant risk factor for outcomes including risky behaviors and recidivism. The authors examined relationships between TCL 2.0 scores, measures of psychopathology, and psycopathic traits in a sample of incarcerated male juvenile offenders.

Article examines associations between self-reported emotion regulation (ER) and psychopathy.
