We implemented an efficacious internet-based self-help tool for people affected by skin picking disorder, aiming to evaluate the impact of an early withdrawal in terms of self-efficacy and treatment motivation. Method We compared skin picking symptomatology (SPS), skin picking related self-efficacy (SP-SE) and motivation to change (SP-MtC) of 208 completers (52%) vs. 192 non-completers at 12-weeks post-assessment. Results The decrease in SPS was significantly greater for completers ( n = 208; M = 13.34; SD = 4.72) compared to non-completers ( n = 192; M = 14.35; SD = 4.94; Cohen’s d = -.39) at post-assessment. SP-SE increased significantly more for program completers ( M = 31.72; SD = 6.50) compared to non-completers ( M = 28.25; SD = 6.30; Cohen’s d = .66) at post-assessment. SP-MtC significantly decreased in both groups, with higher scores for completers across all assessments ( d pre-post = .06). Conclusions Internet-based self-help tools can effectively reduce symptomatology. Participants, who do not complete the program, report lower treatment motivation and treatment-oriented self-efficacy, potentially reducing their help-seeking efforts. Treatment providers need to consider how to address these potentially adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":48316,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Therapy and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135730373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Female undergraduates ( n = 344) aged 17–24 years completed self-report measures of ED-specific rumination and ED symptomatology and a novel task designed to assess biased judgement processing of bodies. Results Results revealed that a bias in judging bodies in terms of their shape and weight was indirectly but not directly associated with ED symptomatology. Specifically, biased judgement processing was indirectly associated with ED symptomatology via ED-specific ruminative reflection but not via ED-specific ruminative brooding. Conclusions The current findings suggest biased judgement processing of bodies may contribute to ED symptomatology via ED-specific ruminative reflection. It is important to note that the indirect effect was small suggesting the involvement of other potential variables in this relationship. Thus, further exploration of the cognitive factors involved in the relationship between biased judgement processing and ED symptomatology is warranted.","PeriodicalId":48316,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Therapy and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135766258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, competence assessments are rarely included in training and research as these procedures are resource-intensive and costly, commonly relying on independent raters with high levels of expertise and extensive training. This study aimed to compare the interrater reliability (IRR) of raters with different levels of expertise. We also examined the impact of different camera perspectives on IRR. Methods We examined the IRR of six independent raters based on competence assessments in a standardized setting. Two raters were experienced psychotherapists (experts), and four were psychology students (novices; with/without supervision). All raters evaluated N = 359 videos of students performing role plays with standardized patients who were simulating depressive symptoms and behavior. For each video, the raters independently assessed basic communication skills (Clinical Communication Skills Scale–Short Form; CCSS-S), psychotherapeutic competence (Cognitive Therapy Scale; CTS), empathy (Empathy Scale; ES) and therapeutic alliance (Helping Alliance Questionnaire; HAQ). Results IRR varied depending on rater expertise and assessment measures, with the lowest intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for empathy (ES; ICCs = 0.39-0.67) and the highest ICCs for psychotherapeutic competence (CTS; ICCs = 0.66-0.78). The concordance between expert raters and supervised novice raters was good (ICCs = 0.71-0.86). The camera perspective did not influence the reliability of the ratings. Conclusions With appropriate training and regular supervision, the novices assessed therapeutic behavior in standardized role plays with reliability comparable to that of the experts. Further research is needed regarding the reliable assessment of more complex therapy situations.","PeriodicalId":48316,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Therapy and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136210336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the MGH-HPS in a sample of adults. Methods The online screening survey was completed by 1024 participants (777 women, 241 men, 6 non-binary), 92 of which (68 women, 24 men) were included in the study because they confirmed engaging in hair-pulling behaviors at least occasionally; 23 of those (2.25% of the initial sample) met the DSM-5 criteria for hair-pulling disorder. The participants were asked to complete the online version of the MGH-HPS, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21-Item Version, the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised, and a scale containing the DSM-5 hair-pulling disorder criteria. The factor structure, reliability, validity, and diagnostic accuracy of the Polish version of the MGH-HPS were examined. Results The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that both a one-factor and a two-factor model fit the data well; however, given the high correlation between the factors, the unidimensional model may be superior. High internal consistency and convergent and divergent validity were obtained for the total score of the MGH-HPS and the Severity and Resistance and Control factors (Cronbach’s alphas: 0.89, 0.85 and 0.84 respectively). The ROC analysis indicated adequate prognostic ability of the total score to discriminate subjects with clinical and non-clinical hair-pulling. The optimal cut-off value was 13 points (sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 62.22%). Conclusions The Polish version of the MGH-HPS is a valid, reliable tool which may be used to measure hair-pulling behaviors in adult samples.","PeriodicalId":48316,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Therapy and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136209045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
