Parents of children with specific phobia putatively provided significantly more negative information to their children than parents of nonclinical children, under ambiguous conditions. The amount of negative information provided within this sample was not related to parent’s own anxiety.

While past research has identified various predictors of engagement, effect sizes have been small, and many have failed to replicate across studies. This poor predictive performance may, in part, be due to the field’s overreliance on predictor assessments at pre-intervention (i.e., at baseline), which overlooks the possibility that those factors driving engagement can fluctuate across the user journey. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a potentially relevant process underlying engagement with DHIs, as majority deliver their therapeutic content as self-guided psychoeducation materials. The present study therefore examined whether key SRL variables fluctuated across a 6-week randomized controlled trial of a dialectical behavior therapy DHI for adults with recurrent binge eating (<em>n</em> = 113), and also whether these changes influenced their predictive ability of three engagement outcomes: number of (1) modules and (2) weekly assessments completed, and (3) skill activities unlocked. Longitudinal analyses revealed considerable temporal variation in SRL variables over time, and that majority of this variance was attributed to within-person differences (intraclass correlations <.40). Correlation coefficients between SRL variables and engagement outcomes increased in strength with time, indicating that later measurements of SRL had greater predictive ability compared to their measurements at baseline.

The current study is a proof of concept for the clinical utility of network-based subgroups. We investigated the relationship between network-derived subgroups and treatment response using data from two clinical trials on eating disorders (<em>N</em> = 80).
