This article examines the relationships of the perceived motivational climate created by coaches (task-involving vs. ego-involving), athletes’ mindset (growth vs. fixed) and goal orientation (task vs. ego), to their grit. within the framework of achievement motivation theory.

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.

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 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.

This article uses a prospective research design to measure both actual and perceived posttraumatic growth in an attempt to replicate and extend previous findings.

Article examined the provision of evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) delivered via ideo to home (VTH) at a large Southwestern Veterans Health Administration (VHA) PTSD outpatient clinic.

Article on the theoretical motivational background regarding metacognitive self. Based on this framework, a single-factor structure of metacognitive self is developed from modification of the MCSQ-40 questionnaire and results in a new tool: MCSQ-21.

Article describes study seeking to determine if theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) to prefrontal cortex modulates visual memory accuracy, visual memory awareness, or both, and whether these effects depend on brain hemisphere.

Data management plan for the grant, "Examination and Refinement of a Novel Treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Processing of Positive Memories Technique (PPMT)." The study aims to examine effects of and targets underlying a novel technique for posttraumatic stress disorder focused on positive memories (Processing of Positive Memories Technique; PPMT). Specific aims include (1) examining PPMT’s effects; (2) examining mechanistic targets such as improved affect underlying PPMT’s effects; and (3) refining PPMT.

This article considers the count and types of traumas (polytraumatization) in relation to post-trauma mental health by conducting a study on the relation of polytraumatization patterns to PTSD clusters, depression, and impulsivity facets. Results indicate that individuals exposed to multiple PTE (potentially traumatizing event) types, particularly interpersonal traumas, may be at risk for more severe post-trauma symptoms.

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.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and/or effectiveness of deposit contracts as an intervention for problematic drinking.

Article examining weight loss and physical functioning of obese veterans with comorbid psychological symptoms when participating in weight management programs. The MOVE! program aims to increase healthy eating and physical activity to promote weight loss in obese veterans. Adequately addressing psychological barriers is necessary to maximize outcomes in MOVE! for veterans with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This study examined the preliminary outcomes of administering the Healthy Emotions and Improving Health BehavioR Outcomes (HERO) intervention. HERO is adjunctive cognitive-behavioral therapy to MOVE! that addresses PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptom barriers to engagement in physical activity.

This article discusses a gaze-cueing experiment in which the predictivity of a gaze-cue was manipulated to assess the degree to which individuals with elevated psychopathic traits can use contextual information.

Paper outlining challenges and resolutions to maintain interscorer reliability. This work supported Suzanne Chong's Master's Thesis.

Article from a study completed using secondary analysis of data from two studies of expressive writing about stressful relational events to first describe the relations of word use to social-cognitive maturity of role-taking using Feffer’s Interpersonal Decentering scoring system and then to test hypotheses about active processing of relational information versus event closure. This is the Accepted Manuscript version of a published article.

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.

The article describes the subgroups and demographic characteristics related to NA household food environments. Surveys collected food getting, food assistance, and sociodemographic variables from randomly selected adults from three NA communities (n = 300) in the Midwest and Southwest. Findings demonstrate that NA household food environments can be described by developing subgroups based on patterns of market and traditional food getting, and food assistance utilization. Understanding NA household food environments could identify tailored individual and community-level approaches to promoting healthy eating for NA Nations.

Data collected in order to analyze social-cognitive growth in fiction, particularly the Harry Potter series, using interpersonal decentering scores. The original data consists of scores taken from randomly sampled pages in the Harry Potter series.
