We achieved this by using a morphed shape dimension to separately measure generalization from the fear cue (predicting the scream) and generalization from the safety cue (predicting the absence of the scream). In two experiments, we found that relative to low trait anxious participants, high trait anxious participants showed higher outcome predictions to stimuli resembling the safety cue (i.e., they undergeneralized safety learning), but not for stimuli resembling the fear cue (i.e., they did not overgeneralize fear learning). Undergeneralization was not found when a neutral outcome was used, suggesting that this effect is dependent on the use of an aversive outcome and specific to safety learning.

This study tested the hypothesis that heightened negative social expectancies mediate the association between dysphoria and dampened social motivation. Additionally, it tested the hypothesis that the association between dysphoria and negative social expectancies is mediated by an attribution style bias that attributes negative, but not positive, outcomes to internal causes. University students (<em>N</em> = 271) with varied levels of dysphoria read vignettes describing hypothetical situations where they initiate a social interaction that results in positive or negative outcomes. Participants rated their expectancies concerning the likelihoods of these outcomes, and their expected emotional impact. Participants also forecast the emotions they would experience and reported the degree to which they attribute each outcome to internal factors (themselves) or to external factors (the other person/circumstance). Finally, participants reported their intention to seek social interaction in similar future situations. Results showed that negative biases in outcome likelihood and emotional impact expectancies both independently mediated the association between dysphoria and deficits in social interaction intention. Furthermore, negative internal causal attribution bias mediated the association between dysphoria and each type of expectancy bias. Dysphoria's association with negative internal causal attribution style converged with negative affective forecasts, reflecting greater self-focused negative emotions (humiliation, guilt, helplessness) and reduced self-focused positive emotions (pride). Findings indicate the utility of assessing dysphoria-linked biases in outcome and emotional impact expectancies and highlight the importance of attribution style bias in dampening social motivation in dysphoria.

Eighty-eight individuals with depressive symptoms were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial and randomly assigned (1:1) to either an intervention group or a waitlist control group.

The feasibility and acceptability of iPAT were evaluated, and participants completed seven assessments (baseline and weekly for six weeks) measuring depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and reward sensitivity. Intervention effectiveness was analyzed using a generalised linear mixed model, and longitudinal mediation was examined using latent growth curve modeling. Results showed that iPAT significantly reduced depressive symptoms and enhanced reward sensitivity. Moreover, the mediation analysis revealed that the rate of change in reward sensitivity fully mediated the relationship between the intervention and reductions in depressive symptoms. iPAT demonstrated good feasibility and acceptability. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that internet-based Positive Affect Treatment can alleviate depressive symptoms by enhancing reward sensitivity. These findings support reward sensitivity as a key mechanistic target for precision psychological interventions and suggest that iPAT offers a scalable digital solution for the indicated prevention of depression, targeting individuals with early or subthreshold symptoms to prevent further progression. <em>Registration identifier: ChiCTR2400095048</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48457,"journal":{"name":"Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 104947"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We extend this framework to examine the influence of PRP on the effect size of a comparison of two mechanistically similar psychosocial treatments. We simulated combinations of “stronger” and “weaker” treatments, crossed with different PRP distributions. Despite modeling a maximum standardized mean difference (SMD) of approximately 1.0, which is considered a large treatment effect, the simulation of a case mix intended to most closely model psychotherapy clinical trials resulted in an SMD of 0.22. Thus, different distributions of PRP can have a substantial effect on the ability to detect differences in the effectiveness of two treatments. Psychotherapy researchers should investigate the influence of heterogeneity in PRP distributions on the results of psychosocial treatment comparisons, and continue to investigate the possibility of using prediction of PRP (e.g., prognostic indicators) for risk stratification and tailored treatment development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48457,"journal":{"name":"Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 104937"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145783247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although OGM has been regarded as a deficit in generative retrieval, recent studies highlight the role of direct and involuntary (associative) retrieval in OGM. We propose the accessibility model, which discards the hierarchical structure of autobiographical memory and truncated search hypothesis. The accessibility model assumes that memory representations of different specificities are structured in parallel, and compete to be retrieved. The model contends that direct and generative retrieval are serial processes (i.e., direct retrieval initially, followed by generative retrieval), and specific and general memory accessibility each affect OGM. We argue that increased accessibility of negative general memories and decreased accessibility of positive specific memories underlie OGM in depression. These changes in accessibility are differentially associated with hippocampal abnormalities, memory suppression, self-referential processing, and positivity biases, suggesting different mechanisms depending on emotional valence. Furthermore, we propose that metacognitive monitoring and control are required to initiate generative retrieval when retrieved memories are goal inconsistent. The accessibility model integrates existing basic memory and OGM research, which may lead to improved memory therapeutics, and new avenues for research development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48457,"journal":{"name":"Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 104921"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145616778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
