Approximately 4-5 months posttraumatic event, participants completed a diagnostic interview (Structured Diagnostic Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5-Research Version; First et al., 2015) and approximately 10 days of passive biosensing, using an Actigraph GT9X (ActiLife Software). Data were extracted and processed, and within-person, bidirectional associations between sleep constructs (sleep fragmentation, efficiency) and daily activity (total step count, sedentary time periods) were estimated via linear-mixed effects models (Bolger & Laurenceau, 2013). No self-report of sleep or activity was included in the primary analyses, only passive-sensing data. Within-person estimates (extracted as random effects) of sleep-activity indices (SAI) were considered in relation to current continuous symptoms of major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder, derived from diagnostic interviews. Two SAI indices were uniquely predictive of either major depressive disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, even when considering past diagnoses and a range of relevant covariates and survived Type 1 error correction. These SAI indices may represent novel patterns of vulnerability following trauma and may offer new pathways for treatment and risk reduction.

There appears to be a small effect of clinician bias-particularly for gender minority individuals. However, it does not fully explain this observed psychiatric disparity. In the current article, we review the historical origins of the BPD diagnosis as well as the present-day conceptualization of the disorder. The theory, research, and treatment of BPD overwhelmingly reinforce an intraindividual deficit framing of the etiology and maintenance of the disorder. However, predominant conceptualizations of the disorder fail to adequately contend with the pernicious, inflexible, and stable impacts of minority stress processes that SGM individuals face, rooted in societal heterosexism and cisnormativity. The sources of oppression SGM individuals face are ostensibly different from the individual-level invalidation that is most typically discussed in relation to BPD. We review each of the nine BPD diagnostic criteria, demonstrating their close associations with SGM-relevant minority stress processes. We also briefly discuss dimensional models of BPD and how they too confound adaptations to minority stress processes with assumptions about intraindividual developmental deficits in the normal developmental process. We posit that societal heterosexism and cisnormativity create strong social forces and pressures, the adaptations to which engender behaviors that overlap with the BPD phenotype. We end by discussing the clinical implications of the limited utility of the BPD diagnosis when working with SGM individuals and directions for future research.

(2022) argued that the core of personality disorder (PD) is interpersonal in nature; thus, reconceptualizing PD as interpersonal disorders allows more focused assessment, formulation, and treatment planning. Previous research has examined the interpersonal and affective processes relevant to borderline PD (BPD), yet no study to date has investigated how these dynamics may shift in response to psychodynamic psychotherapy. We present preliminary data examining the interpersonal and affective context of BPD over time in an evidence-based treatment. Forty-five patients diagnosed with BPD who participated in a clinical trial of 18 months of transference-focused psychotherapy completed ecological momentary assessment rating interpersonal events in daily life for 14 days for up to three timepoints (0, 9, and 18 months). Multilevel models examined ratings of self and other interpersonal dominance/warmth and affect valence/arousal in the interpersonal field. Patients rated on average 35 events per timepoint, with over 3,300 events total. Results suggest reduced volatility in affective dimensions and in identity confusion, and changes in patients experiencing themselves and others as more friendly, happy, and energized over time in treatment. Shifts in patterns among interpersonal variables over the course of treatment suggest that patients developed a warmer experience of agency and affect. These changes align with the putative mechanism of transference-focused psychotherapy-to shift the habitual, maladaptive ways that patients perceive themselves affectively relating to others. Our assessment of other's affect extends research on the interpersonal situation. We conclude with recommendations for future research integrating advances in ecological momentary assessment reporting with clinical practice.

Leveraging wearable sensors and machine learning, we aimed to uncover latent physiological states from ambulatory recordings of cardiac, respiratory, and activity signals that correspond with self-reported momentary affective processes, with implications for informing just-in-time adaptive interventions. Fifty-one participants with remitted major depressive disorder and 42 healthy controls completed 7-day ecological momentary assessments of affect, affect regulation, and momentary impulsivity while their heart rate variability, respiration, and movement were passively monitored. Using Hidden Markov models for state decoding, we found that frequency, dwell time, and transitions of physiological states predicted self-reported momentary affect, affect regulation, and impulsivity, with depression history moderating some of the associations. Findings underscore the feasibility of passive physiological phenotyping for tracking momentary affective processes that would otherwise be difficult to actively sample via self-report, but that may be crucial to informing timing and targets for intervention.

Experience sampling has facilitated the investigation of daily socialization to detect dysfunction and identify treatment targets. Yet, poor cognition and insight in schizophrenia interfere with subjective self-report. Passive audio sensing and lexical analysis offer a solution to examine objective markers of real-world functioning. Linguistic style matching (LSM), the tendency to coordinate speech patterns with conversation partners, has been linked to social affiliation and connection in healthy populations. It has been theorized that LSM may be disrupted across the schizophrenia spectrum, indicating underlying psychopathology. Our two-part, proof-of-concept study leverages passive audio sensing to measure LSM during real-life conversations and quantify its relationship with interaction depth coded by trained raters. Data were from 2013 to 2019. Study 1 compared LSM between 31 people high in schizotypy and 26 low in schizotypy, finding no significant differences. In Study 2, we observed that those with schizophrenia (n = 28) exhibited reduced LSM compared to controls (n = 26). Across studies, LSM was associated with real-world interaction depth (i.e., level of self-disclosure during conversation). The results support the feasibility of capturing daily LSM via passive sensing and suggest LSM may reflect real-world interaction depth that can differentiate people with and without schizophrenia. Consequently, LSM may be a useful marker of social dysfunction in psychopathology. However, this does not seem to extend to subclinical schizotypy, where social affiliative deficits are more subtle. Given the automation and ease of lexical analysis, these findings are promising for the future of passive sensing of social interactions.

In combination with intensive longitudinal self-report data, accelerometry may provide a useful tool for understanding the interactions of PA, well-being, and psychopathology. However, this interplay has not been extensively studied in severe mental illnesses (SMIs) such as schizophrenia (SZ) and major depression (major depressive disorder [MDD]). In this longitudinal prospective observational study using accelerometers, ecological momentary assessment, and clinical interviews, we applied multilevel modeling to examine the association of PA with affective well-being in patients suffering from SZ (n = 30), MDD (n = 36), and healthy controls (HCs; n = 31). We found PA to be significantly related to momentary mood in everyday life. PA was positively associated with valence (MDD, HC) and energetic arousal (SZ, MDD, HC), but negatively with calmness (SZ, MDD). Psychopathology moderated these associations across diagnoses. Patients with higher negative symptoms did not experience any valence improvement from PA, while those with higher depression scores showed no association between PA and calmness. This investigation combining accelerometry with ecological momentary assessment in SMI indicates that while PA was linked to increased energetic arousal in all participants, replicating previous results, it also showed a distinct group- and psychopathology-depended association with other mood dimensions. The observed moderation effects by negative and depressive symptoms on the association between PA, valence, and calmness, if replicated, point to a transdiagnostic phenomenon that may aid in personalizing PA interventions in SMI patients in the future.
