“…First, the measure of avoidance was based on retrospective reports covering the period between the baseline and follow-up interview. Nonetheless, retrospective reports of anxiety symptoms have been shown to be fairly accurate in past studies [75, 76]. Second, there may be differences in the effect of the moderating role of avoidance behavior for singular social and specific situations, such as public speaking or animals.…”

The moderating role of avoidance behavior on anxiety over time: Is there a difference between social anxiety disorder and specific phobia?

Theories of anxiety disorders and phobias have ascribed a critical role to avoidance behavior in explaining the persistence of fear and anxiety, but knowledge about the role of avoidance behavior in the maintenance of anxiety in social anxiety disorder relative to specific phobia is lacking. This study examined the extent to which avoidance behavior moderates the relationship between general anxiety at baseline and 18 months later in women with a diagnosed social anxiety disorder (n = 91) and women with a diagnosed specific phobia (n = 130) at baseline. Circumscribed avoidance of social and specific situations were clinician-rated using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule-Lifetime (ADIS-IV-L), and general anxiety was measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Moderated regression analyses revealed that (a) general anxiety at baseline predicted general anxiety at follow-up in both women with a specific phobia and women with a social anxiety disorder and (b) avoidance behavior moderated this relationship in women with a specific phobia but not in women with a social anxiety disorder. Specifically, high avoidance behavior was found to amplify the effect between general anxiety at baseline and follow-up in specific phobia. Reasons for the absence of a similar moderating effect of avoidance behavior within social anxiety disorder are discussed.

“…That is, when we do not feel well, we may make greater relational attribution to sleep disturbance than actually deserved. For example, people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) shows high accuracy in recalling their OCD symptoms but tend to overestimate the relationship between those symptoms and sleep 39. One way to rule this out is to better understand the relationship between objectively obtained sleep quality and FMS symptoms.…”

Objectives To evaluate the concordance between the subjective and objective methods of sleep assessment in patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) and to delineate factors associated with discrepancy between the two sleep assessment methods. Methods Seventy-five patients with FMS completed a 7 day home assessment protocol. They wore an Actigraphic device at all times. In the morning, they used the electronic diary (ED) to record the subjective report of sleep from the previous night and current severity of the FMS-related symptoms. Results On average, the two assessment methods yielded a 73 absolute minute difference per night per patient. About the half of the nights, sleep duration was underestimated. Approximately 20% of the nights had greater than 2 hour difference between the two methods. Factors related to this large discrepancy were 1) objective indicator of restless sleep, 2) subjective report of difficulty falling asleep, and 3) report of fatigue at the time of reporting. FMS-related symptoms were related to subjective report of poor sleep but not to objective sleep data. Discussion Misestimation of sleep appears common in FMS patients, particularly when their sleep quality is poor. Careful considerations for evaluating the severity of patients’ sleep complaints are critical in adequate management of sleep disturbance that is commonly reported by FMS patients.

“…EMA does not rely on measurements using memory recall within the clinical setting, but rather allows for collection of information about the client's experiences in their natural setting, potentially improving the assessment's ecological validity (Stone and Shiffman, 2002). In situ sampling techniques have been successfully used in psychology, psychiatry, and occupational therapy (for a more detailed account see research by Morgan et al, 1990; de Beurs et al, 1992; Kamarack et al, 1998; Litt et al, 1998; Kimhy et al, 2006; Gloster et al, 2008; Putnam and McSweeney, 2008; Trull et al, 2008). Generally it is agreed that EMA offers broader assessment within the client's natural environment, as it includes random time sampling of the client's experience, recording of events associated with the client's experience, and self-reports regarding the client's behaviors and physiological experiences (Stone and Shiffman, 2002).…”

A clinical case study of the use of ecological momentary assessment in obsessive compulsive disorder

Accurate assessment of obsessions and compulsions is a crucial step in treatment planning for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In this clinical case study, we sought to determine if the use of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) could provide additional symptom information beyond that captured during standard assessment of OCD. We studied three adults diagnosed with OCD and compared the number and types of obsessions and compulsions captured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) compared to EMA. Following completion of the Y-BOCS interview, participants then recorded their OCD symptoms into a digital voice recorder across a 12-h period in reply to randomly sent mobile phone SMS prompts. The EMA approach yielded a lower number of symptoms of obsessions and compulsions than the Y-BOCS but produced additional types of obsessions and compulsions not previously identified by the Y-BOCS. We conclude that the EMA-OCD procedure may represent a worthy addition to the suite of assessment tools used when working with clients who have OCD. Further research with larger samples is required to strengthen this conclusion.
