In contrast, the CompACT scale, which encompasses the ensemble of ACT processes, through three dyadic processes (Openness to Experience, Behavioral Awareness, Valuation of Action), exhibits better suitability but lacks an empirically-validated adaptation in French. Therefore, this study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the CompACT scale in French, focusing on both the general population and benzodiazepine users, the latter’s long-term use illustrates experiential avoidance, making them a highly relevant, alternative population for studying ACT processes.

The unprecedented growth of SNS use globally raised discussions about the need to manage SNS use and the possible tools and methods to do so. This study attempted to conduct and test an intervention which incorporated a cognitive-behavioral technique of self-reflection journaling to help participants manage and reduce their SNS use. A total of 68 participants aged 18–25 years monitored their daily SNS use by submitting their screen time from their smartphones during a period of seven days, and again, during another five days of follow-up after a 14-day break. During the seven-day period, participants (n₁ = 34) in the experimental group applied a cognitive-behavioral technique of self-reflection and submitted daily journal entries, while participants in the control group (n₂ = 34) only monitored and submitted their screen time. The findings suggest that the daily self-reflection and journaling did not significantly reduce SNS use of participants in the experimental group, as the SNS use of both groups did not significantly decrease over the 7-day period. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in the SNS use duration between the two groups during the follow-up stage. The study findings suggested that screen time monitoring and self-reflection did not lead to significant behavioral changes in this short intervention period, and more research is needed to shed light on effective tools for intervention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36022,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy","volume":"35 3","pages":"Article 100530"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143922538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this study was to validate a French version of the Responses to Positive Affect Scale (RPA, Feldman et al., 2008), which provides a measure of two emotion regulation strategies to up-regulate positive affect (rumination) and down-regulate it (dampening). This online study was comprised of different questionnaires designed to analyse the psychometric properties of the RPA in French non-clinical populations. The proposed three-factor model shows an adequate fit to the data, with all approximate fit indices showing acceptable model fit. One item had a lower loading on the dampening factor and was excluded from the analyses. The three subscales of the RPA showed satisfactory internal consistency. The scale also demonstrates good convergent validity and acceptable test–retest validity. This online study can be associated with common limits of self-reported measures. Moreover, our results should be replicated in future studies to validate its discriminant capacity and measurement invariance. In conclusion, the French version of the RPA can be considered reliable for assessing how people upregulate and downregulate positive emotions. Contrary to other measures of emotion regulation, the RPA focus specifically on positive affect and might be particularly relevant in the context of bipolar disorder, depression and other mental health disorders characterised by maladaptive regulation of positive emotions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36022,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy","volume":"35 3","pages":"Article 100535"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144534226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can cause dependence, leading to decades of use. As such, there is debate grounded in confusion between substance abuse and fear of dependence in some patients. Clinical practice and evidence-based reviews agree that BZ dependence is difficult to treat: without support, only 7% of misusers manage to stop taking them. Analyzing randomized control trials (RCTs), this review examines three main interventions for BZ withdrawal: brief intervention (BI), substitution medication (SM) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Post-intervention abstinence rates suggest that BIs can be compared to a simple taper program (TP), requiring low patient involvement, and may enable one in three patients to discontinue BZ use. However, this strategy should be considered with caution: outcomes could be adversely affected by the presence of a psychiatric disorder, a factor not controlled in these studies, nor are long-term results evaluated. Furthermore, can we consider that treating one in three patients is sufficient? CBT proved highly effective, enabling three in four patients attempting to abstain to successfully discontinue use, including patients with insomnia or anxiety. The SM approach showed no superiority over placebo effects. Moreover, abstinence rates being only measured over the very short term, no recommendations can be made regarding their use. This review concludes that there is a major methodological discrepancy between these approaches, BI and SM studies presenting substantially lower methodological quality in comparison to CBT studies.
