Overall, reporting of harm was inconsistent across studies and the quality of data collection and reporting varied. MBIs for psychosis appear to be safe and may reduce the risk of hospitalisation and use of crisis services.

ABM most commonly uses a modified dot-probe task, which has received increasing criticism regarding its reliability and inconsistent findings. The purpose of the present review was thus to systematically review and meta-analyse alternative tasks used in ABM research. We sought to examine whether alternative tasks significantly changed attention biases and emotional outcomes, and critically examined whether relevant sample, task and intervention characteristics moderated each of these effect sizes. Seventy-four (completer <em>n</em> = 15,294) study level comparisons were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, alternative ABM designs had a medium effect on changing biases (<em>g</em> = 0.488), and a small, but significant effect on improving clinical outcomes (<em>g</em> = 0.117). We found this effect to be significantly larger for studies which successfully changed biases compared to those that did not. Across all tasks, it appeared that targeting engagement biases results in the largest change to attention biases. Importantly, we found tasks incorporating gaze-contingency – encouraging engagement with non-biased stimuli – show the most promise for improving emotional outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48458,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology Review","volume":"110 ","pages":"Article 102436"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272735824000576/pdfft?md5=b3617f5ee11d00c47921116fd096fc4b&pid=1-s2.0-S0272735824000576-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140816591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models offer valuable insights into the dynamic relationships between variables over time and offer stronger causal inference capabilities than cross-sectional analyses. Therefore, they are well-suited for modeling the intricate relationships between mechanisms of change and outcomes in psychotherapy studies, which are typically beyond experimental control. However, their complexity, coupled with the fact that detailed explanations are often embedded in dense statistical or econometric texts, poses challenges. This paper provides a background on cross-lagged panel models and delves deeper into explaining the issues of 1) dynamic panel bias, 2) long-run effects, and 3) testing whether different treatments work by different mechanisms. Using data from a psychotherapy study on treatment of adolescent depression, I demonstrate how these issues manifest in real data. In conclusion, I recommend using structural equation modeling to circumvent dynamic panel bias, reporting long-run effects to reveal the long-term impact of sustained therapeutic work on mechanisms of change, and carefully considering whether mediation, moderation, or a combination of both, best describes differential effects of mechanisms between treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48458,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology Review","volume":"110 ","pages":"Article 102435"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272735824000564/pdfft?md5=d58d13529a3a79a69ed0e70ab5c231b4&pid=1-s2.0-S0272735824000564-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140823889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loving-kindness interventions (LKIs), which include knowledge and/or practice related to loving-kindness, have been gaining attention as a potential intervention for improving mental health in adults. This meta-analysis synthesized the effects of LKIs on both positive (i.e., mindfulness, compassion, positive affect) and negative (i.e., negative affect, psychological symptoms) indices of mental health across comparison types (i.e., passive control, active control, alternative treatment) and general sample types (i.e., community, university), and explored characteristics of LKIs that may impact their effectiveness (i.e., intervention format, intervention length, presence/absence of a live facilitator). Following a systematic review of six databases in November 2023, 23 randomized controlled studies met eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Relative to passive control groups, LKIs had positive effects on mindfulness, compassion, positive affect, negative affect, and psychological symptoms; these effects were non-significant relative to active control groups and alternative therapeutic treatments. Notably, the effects of LKIs did not differ as a function of sample type, intervention format, intervention length, or the presence/absence of a live facilitator. Findings provide support for the effectiveness of LKIs relative to passive control conditions, as well as their potential comparability to alternative evidence-based therapeutic treatments, and provide insight into resource-effective approaches to the delivery of effective LKIs.
