“…We investigated this in a daily diary study of individuals high (HSA) and low (LSA) in social anxiety. We chose a diary study, since daily measurements are suited to capture more dynamic aspects of the variables of interest within the context of everyday activities (Connor et al, 2003).…”

“…The palm pilot bleeped loudly for up to 13 minutes until the screen was tapped using a stylus pen. Long and loud bleeps give people the opportunity to answer more trials by not missing assessment points (Christensen et al, 2003). Each question appeared on the palm pilot screen individually, and participants responded by pressing a number with a stylus pen.…”

It has been proposed that insecure attachment can have adverse effects on the course of psychosis once symptoms have emerged. There is longitudinal evidence that increased insecure attachment is associated with increased severity of psychotic symptoms. The present study examined whether in the flow of daily life attachment insecurity fluctuates, whether elevated stress precedes the occurrence of attachment insecurity, and whether elevated attachment insecurity precedes the occurrence of paranoia. Twenty clinical participants with a psychosis-spectrum diagnosis and twenty controls were studied over six consecutive days using the experience sampling method (ESM). The findings revealed that fluctuations in attachment insecurity were significantly higher in the clinical group, that elevated stress predicted a subsequent increase in attachment insecurity, and that elevated attachment insecurity predicted a subsequent increase in paranoia; this effect was not observed in auditory hallucinations once co-occurring symptoms were controlled for. Finally, although previous ESM studies have shown that low self-esteem precedes the occurrence of paranoia, attachment insecurity continued to predict paranoia even when self-esteem was controlled for. The findings suggest that attachment security may be associated with a lower risk of paranoia, and that psychological interventions should address attachment beliefs and work towards establishing a sense of attachment security.

“…The Experience Sampling Program (ESP; Barrett & Feldman Barrett, 2000) triggered the questionnaire on the PDAs at random intervals for a total of nine times a day. This sampling rate was chosen with an expectation that participants would miss some prompts (Christensen, Feldman Barrett, Bliss-Moreau, Lebo, & Kaschub, 2003). Indeed, on average, participants missed approximately 3-4 daily prompts due to a variety of situational constraints (e.g., busy, did not hear the signal; see Table 1 for average numbers of responses).…”

The meanings of "anhedonia" and "depressed mood," the cardinal emotional symptoms of major depression, may be shaped by cultural norms regarding pleasure and sadness. Thirty-two European Americans, 26 Hispanic Americans, 33 Asian Americans, and 20 Russian Americans provided reports of (a) depressive symptoms, (b) momentary emotions and pleasure, and (c) global subjective well-being. Momentary reports were collected over 10 days using handheld personal digital assistants. Reports of anhedonia were associated with heightened levels of momentary low arousal negative emotions (e.g., sadness), whereas reports of depressed mood were associated with dampened levels of momentary positive emotions (e.g., happiness). Symptoms of anhedonia and depressed mood interacted in their associations with momentary pleasure. In addition, the associations of anhedonia and depressed mood with positive emotions and life satisfaction differed across cultural groups. Specifically, these symptoms were associated with dampened positive emotions in the Asian American group only. Additionally, anhedonia was associated with dampened global life satisfaction in the European American group only. These results suggest that reports of anhedonia and depressed mood cannot be interpreted at face value as specific and culture-free indicators ofCorresponding author: Yulia Chentsova-Dutton, Department of Psychology, Georgetown University, 306 White-Gravenor Hall, 3700 O Street, NW, Box 571001, Washington, DC 20057.

Instead, they appear to signal changes in the balance of positive and negative emotions, with the exact nature of these signals shaped at least in part by cultural context. This conclusion has important consequences for the clinical interpretation of depressive symptoms in multicultural societies.
