We drew on data from a randomized controlled trial where 100 patients were randomized to receive 16 sessions of either ST or SET. Patients completed a measure of interpersonal problems at baseline. Therapy outcome and the strength of the therapeutic alliance were measured by patient self-report, before and after each session, respectively. We conducted interactive three-level mixed effect models, accounting for the nested structure of the data, with repeated measures nested within patients, nested within therapists. The results showed significant interactive effects of treatment by baseline interpersonal problems on both the evolution of outcome and the alliance. Patients with greater interpersonal problems had a greater reduction in depressive severity and greater improvements in the alliance when treated with SET versus ST. If further replicated, the results of this study suggest that therapists of patients with depression would benefit from evaluating their interpersonal distress at baseline and incorporating this evaluation in their decision-making process regarding the most suitable intervention strategy for each individual patient. To conclude, the results of this study might enhance evidence-based treatment personalization in patients with depression using a parsimonious personalization approach.

Existing literature lacks exploration into daily variations of sexual or gender identity concealment (hereafter, \"concealment\") among sexual and gender minority people, especially sexual minority women (SMW) and transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals who have experienced trauma. Additionally, there is little research delving into individual characteristics, such as trait-based avoidance coping, and specific contexts, including daily minority stressors and threat appraisal, prompting trauma-exposed SMW and TGD people to conceal their identities. Addressing these gaps, we aimed to develop and test an innovative model that advances stress and coping frameworks by integrating minority stress and social safety theories. We used data from a 14-day intensive longitudinal study among 57 trauma-exposed SMW and TGD people. Minority stressors and threat appraisal were associated with concealment at both the within- and between-person levels, respectively. Trait-based general avoidance coping predicted identity concealment and moderated the link between daily minority stressors and concealment. Daily minority stressors were associated with greater concealment only among those who reported lower avoidance coping. Concealment may operate as an experiential avoidance behavior among those who habitually cope by using avoidance and as a goal-directed coping response among trauma-exposed SMW and TGD people who face acute minority stressors and report less avoidance coping. Counseling psychologists exploring the function of concealment with trauma-exposed SMW and TGD people should attend to stigma exposure, threat appraisal, and avoidance coping.

This has led to concerns about potential risks associated with defining the term trauma more broadly. However, little research has examined whether the breadth of individuals' trauma beliefs affects their distress after exposure to a potentially traumatic event. The purpose of this study was to examine whether preexisting trauma beliefs, measured via the Trauma subscale of the Harm Concept Breadth Scale (McGrath & Haslam, 2020), predicted distress following exposure to a film clip of a fatal car accident, which served as an analogue for a traumatic experience. In a college student sample (N = 439), individuals who endorsed broader trauma beliefs were more likely to report viewing the film clip as a trauma (<i>f</i>² = .03, <i>p</i> = .001) and to have higher ratings of negative emotion after exposure (<i>f</i>² = .03, <i>p</i> < .001), with small effect sizes, but did not report more event-related distress 2 days later (<i>f</i>² = .01, <i>p</i> = .079), controlling for covariates (e.g., neuroticism). Those who perceived the exposure as traumatic had higher scores on measures of negative emotions (<i>f</i>² = .11) and event-related distress (<i>f</i>² = .12), <i>p</i>s < .001, with small-to-medium effect sizes. These results suggest that applying the word \"trauma\" to a broader spectrum of events may be associated with more negative reactions to traumatic events and that clinicians could help individuals reframe those beliefs. Better measures of trauma beliefs and research with more diverse samples are needed to better understand the effects of trauma beliefs.

Using self-determination theory to assess basic psychological needs (BPN) satisfaction and recent findings about the importance of authenticity to TNB people, we tested the hypothesis that general authenticity would explain positive associations between perceptions of BPN satisfaction and eudaimonic well-being (EWB). We recruited a TNB sample of 489 adults ages 18-61 (<i>M</i> = 26.32, <i>SD</i> = 6.72) who completed a Qualtrics survey hosted on the Prolific Academic platform in 2022. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model; people who reported higher levels of BPN satisfaction also reported significantly higher EWB. Higher levels of authenticity partially, but not completely, explained this association. Self-determination theory may be a useful theoretical framework for further understanding barriers and facilitators of TNB adults' EWB. In the social context of stigma and discrimination, being more authentic helps facilitate one's BPN satisfaction and thereby supports EWB. These findings have implications for future testing of general psychological processes in the TNB population and interventions to facilitate basic needs satisfaction.

Additionally, comparing clients within a therapist's caseload, a higher percentage of sessions where the therapist reviewed OQ scores before (rather than after) was associated with quicker symptom recovery for those clients. Finally, comparing therapists, those who reviewed client OQ scores more frequently before (rather than after) therapy sessions achieved faster client symptom recovery across all clients.

Morris (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2016, Vol. 63, No. 5, pp. 604-615, https://doi .org/10.1037/cou0000164), errors related to the coding of two ethnicities, Black and Native American, resulted in some respondents being incorrectly recorded as the wrong ethnicity. A corrected analysis resulted in changes to the abstract, Participants section, Question 1, Question 5, Results section, and Discussion section and corrections to the values in Tables 3-6 in the main article and Tables 1, 2, and 13-22 in the online supplemental materials. The overall impact of these errors was minimal. The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2016-36831-001.) Vocational interests predict educational and career choices, job performance, and career success (Rounds & Su, 2014). Although sex differences in vocational interests have long been observed (Thorndike, 1911), an appropriate overall measure has been lacking from the literature. Using a cross-sectional sample of United States residents aged 14 to 63 who completed the Strong Interest Inventory assessment between 2005 and 2014 (N = 1,283,110), I examined sex, age, ethnicity, and year effects on work related interest levels using both multivariate and univariate effect size estimates of individual dimensions (Holland's Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional). Men scored higher on Realistic (d = -1.14), Investigative (d = -.32), Enterprising (d = -.22), and Conventional (d = -.23), while women scored higher on Artistic (d = .19) and Social (d = .38), mostly replicating previous univariate findings. Multivariate, overall sex differences were very large (disattenuated Mahalanobis' D = 1.61; 27% overlap). Interest levels were slightly lower and overall sex differences larger in younger samples. Overall sex differences have narrowed slightly for 18-22 year-olds in more recent samples. Generally very small ethnicity effects included relatively higher Investigative and Enterprising scores for Asians, Indians, and Middle Easterners, lower Realistic scores for Blacks, higher Realistic, Artistic, and Social scores for Pacific Islanders, and lower Conventional scores for Whites. Using Prediger's (1982) model, women were more interested in people (d = 1.01) and ideas (d = .18), while men were more interested in things and data. These results, consistent with previous reviews showing large sex differences and small year effects, suggest that large sex differences in work related interests will continue to be observed for decades.

The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism of how stress from the MMS might be related to depressive symptoms. Based on Hatzenbuehler's (2009) psychological mediation framework, MMS stress was hypothesized to be positively related to depressive symptoms through the mediating role of rumination. Data from 188 Asian American STEM students were analyzed using latent growth modeling. Results showed that the relationships among the MMS stress, rumination, and depressive symptoms were better explained by a linear growth framework than a no-growth model. Rumination mediated the positive association between the MMS stress and depressive symptoms in the cross-sectional context. Longitudinally, initially high levels of MMS stress hindered the decrease in the depressive symptoms overtime, and this relationship was mediated by the initial high level of rumination, indicating a significant role of rumination.
