  • Using a Smartphone App to Reduce Cognitive
    Giosan et al. Trials (2016) 17:609 DOI 10.1186/s13063-016-1740-3 STUDYPROTOCOL Open Access Using a smartphone app to reduce cognitive vulnerability and mild depressive symptoms: Study protocol of an exploratory randomized controlled trial Cezar Giosan1,2,3* ,OanaCobeanu1, Cristina Mogoaşe1, Aurora Szentágotai Tătar1,VladMureşan1 and Rareș Boian1 Abstract Background: Depression is a major challenge worldwide, with significant increasing personal, economic, and societal costs. Although empirically supported treatments have been developed, they are not always available for patients in routine clinical care. Therefore, we need effective and widely accessible strategies to prevent the onset of the very first depressive symptoms. Mental health apps could prove a valuable solution for this desideratum. Although preliminary research has indicated that such apps can be useful in treating depression, no study has attempted to test their utility in preventing depressive symptoms. The aim of this exploratory study is to contrast the efficacy of a smartphone app in reducing cognitive vulnerability and mild depressive symptoms, as risk factors for the onset of depression, against a wait-list condition. More specifically, we aim to test an app designed to (1) decrease general cognitive vulnerability and (2) promote engagement in protective, adaptive activities, while (3) counteracting (through gamification and customization) the tendency of premature dropout from intervention. Methods/design: Romanian-speaking adults (18 years and older) with access to a computer and the Internet and who own a smartphone are included in the study. Two parallel randomized clinical trials are conducted: in the first one, 50 participants free of depressive symptoms (i.e., who obtain scores ≤4 on the Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9) will be included, while in the second one 50 participants with minimal depressive symptoms (i.e., who obtain PHQ-9 scores between 5 and 9) will be included.

Methodological approach was an ex post facto and causal-comparative type. The sample was 300 high school students. Fear and cognitive vulnerability was evaluated with FSSC-R and CVS. Results of t-test show that there is a significant difference between fears of boys and girls (P<0. 01) and the most current fears of boy and girl students were: Failing a test, Deep water or the ocean, beetle, Not being able to breathe, Getting a cut or injury, Cemeteries, Germs or getting a serious illness, Falling from high places, Bombing attacks, Getting a shock from electricity and Earthquakes. As well analyses of variance and regression recommend that cognitive vulnerability and its factors (uncontrollability, unpredictability, disgusting and dangerousness) have significant effect on fear acquisition (P<0.001). The result of this study is that there is a large difference between fear of boys and girls. And a greater effect on fear for disgusting compared to other factors.

  • Cognitive Vulnerability-Stress Models of Depression in a Self-Regulatory and Psychobiological Context
    11 Cognitive Vulnerability-Stress Models of Depression in a Self-Regulatory and Psychobiological Context Lyn Y. Abramson, Lauren B. Alloy, Benjamin L. Hankin, Gerald]. Haeffel, Donal G. MacCoon, and Brandon E. Gibb Although depression has long been recognized as an important form of psychopathology, experimental psychopathologists neglected this disorder until the 1970s. At that time, re­ search on depression burgeoned within clinical psychology, and many investigators began to emphasize cognitive processes in the etiology, maintenance, and treatment of depression. Two developments at the University of Pennsylvania in the late 1960s and early 1970s galvanized this cognitive approach to depression. Coming from a clinical perspective, Aaron Beck (1967), a psychiatrist, had abandoned the psychoanalytic account of depression and had begun to develop a cognitive theory that emphasized the negative "automatic thoughts" that seemed to trigger depressive symptoms among his patients. At the same time, Martin Seligman (1975), an experimental psychologist, had begun to formulate his theory of learned helplessness and depression, based on laboratory research about the dele­ terious effects of uncontrollable, aversive events. Similar to Beck, Seligman emphasized that maladaptive cognitions such as pervasive expectancies of no control over events could pre­ cipitate depressive symptoms. These two cognitive theories ignited a veritable explosion o research on depression. Although it is difficult to reconstruct the forces that fueled cognitive approaches to de­ pression, Dykman and Abramson (1990) listed a few whose impact appears likely. First, th rise of information-processing approaches in general (e.g., Neisser, 1967) and the study o social cognition in particular (e.g., Nisbett & Ross, 1980) provided a basic science founda­ tion for a cognitive approach to depression.

When challenged with information about the future, healthy participants show an optimistically biased updating pattern, taking desirable information more into account than undesirable information. However, it is unknown how patients suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD), who express pervasive pessimistic beliefs, update their beliefs when receiving information about their future. Here we tested whether an optimistically biased information processing pattern found in healthy individuals is absent in MDD patients. Method. MDD patients (n=18; 13 medicated; eight with co-morbid anxiety disorder) and healthy controls (n=19) estimated their personal probability of experiencing 70 adverse life events. After each estimate participants were presented with the average probability of the event occurring to a person living in the same sociocultural environment. This information could be desirable (i.e. average probability better than expected) or undesirable (i.e. average probability worse than expected). To assess how desirable versus undesirable information influenced beliefs, participants estimated their personal probability of experiencing the 70 events a second time.

Objectives and Methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, whether cognitive vulnerabilities (CV), as measured by three well-known instruments (the Beck Hopelessness Scale, BHS; the Life Orientation Test-Revised, LOT-R; and the Attitudes Toward Self-Revised, ATS-R), independently discriminate between subjects with different severities of depression. Participants were 467 young adults (336 females and 131 males), recruited from the general population. The subjects were also administered the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Results. Four first-order (BHS Optimism/Low Standard; BHS Pessimism; Generalized Self-Criticism; and LOT Optimism) and two higher-order factors (Pessimism/Negative Attitudes Toward Self, Optimism) were extracted using Principal Axis Factoring analysis.

Alloy,1,5,6 Lyn Y. Abramson,2,5 Nancy A. Tashman,3 Dena S. Berrebbi,4 Michael E. Hogan,2 Wayne G. Whitehouse,1 Alisa G. Crossfield,1 and Antonia Morocco1 In this study, we examined the role of three social learning mechanisms in the develop- ment of undergraduates’ depressogenic cognitive styles: modeling of parents’ negative cognitive styles; negative inferential feedback from parents regarding the causes and consequences of stressful events in the child’s life; and negative parenting practices. We obtained partial support for each of the three hypotheses. Compared to the parents of cognitively low-risk students, cognitively high-risk students’ mothers exhibited more negative dysfunctional attitudes and inferential styles themselves; high-risk students’ fathers showed less emotional acceptance and warmth; and high-risk students’ mothers and fathers both communicated more stable, global attributional feedback and nega- tive consequence feedback for stressful events in their children’s lives. In addition, both parents’ inferential feedback and fathers’ emotional acceptance predicted their undergraduate children’s likelihood of developing an episode of major or minor depression or the subtype of hopelessness depression during a 2.5-year prospective follow-up period, with some of these predictive associations mediated totally or in part by the students’ cognitive vulnerability status.

  • Cognitive Vulnerability: a Model of the Etiology of Fear ⁎ Jason M
    Clinical Psychology Review 26 (2006) 746–768 Cognitive vulnerability: A model of the etiology of fear ⁎ Jason M. Armfield Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, School of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Adelaide, South Australia 5005, Australia Received 25 July 2005; received in revised form 31 January 2006; accepted 3 March 2006 Abstract This paper attempts to fill the partial theoretical vacuum surrounding the understanding of fear acquisition. A review of recent and contemporary theories of the etiology of fear is presented, serving as a justification for further theorizing and allowing for greater understanding of those aspects of fear that remain to be adequately explained. A new model of the etiology of specific fears is subsequently put forward and the various aspects and implications of this model are discussed. How an individual perceives a stimulus is proposed as being critical in determining fear in relation to the stimulus. In particular, perceptions of the stimulus as uncontrollable, unpredictable, dangerous and disgusting create a schema of vulnerability. The Cognitive Vulnerability Model integrates much of the extensive body of research on fears and specific phobias into a unifying theory of the etiology of fear. The model offers parsimonious explanations for the various characteristics of specific fears and phobias. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Fear; Etiology; Cognitive vulnerability; Model; Phobia Fear is a powerful and considerably aversive human emotion. While most people experience fear only infrequently, there are some people to whom fear and anxiety constitutes a debilitating disorder.

  • Behavioral Law and Economics: Its Origins, Fatal Flaws, and Implications for Liberty
    Copyright 2012 by Northwestern University School of Law Printed in U.S.A. Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 106, No. 3 BEHAVIORAL LAW AND ECONOMICS: ITS ORIGINS, FATAL FLAWS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR LIBERTY Joshua D. Wright & Douglas H. Ginsburg ABSTRACT—Behavioral economics combines economics and psychology to produce a body of evidence that individual choice behavior departs from that predicted by neoclassical economics in a number of decisionmaking situations. Emerging close on the heels of behavioral economics over the past thirty years has been the “behavioral law and economics” movement and its philosophical foundation—so-called “libertarian paternalism.” Even the least paternalistic version of behavioral law and economics makes two central claims about government regulation of seemingly irrational behavior: (1) the behavioral regulatory approach, by manipulating the way in which choices are framed for consumers, will increase welfare as measured by each individual’s own preferences and (2) a central planner can and will implement the behavioral law and economics policy program in a manner that respects liberty and does not limit the choices available to individuals. This Article draws attention to the second and less scrutinized of the behaviorists’ claims, viz., that behavioral law and economics poses no significant threat to liberty and individual autonomy. The behaviorists’ libertarian claims fail on their own terms. So long as behavioral law and economics continues to ignore the value to economic welfare and individual liberty of leaving individuals the freedom to choose and hence to err in making important decisions, “libertarian paternalism” will not only fail to fulfill its promise of increasing welfare while doing no harm to liberty, it will pose a significant risk of reducing both.
