“…Owen et al, 2023). It could also become clearer which differentiating PD and which differentiating CBT interventions are particularly related to psychotherapy successes (also with reference to specific mental illnesses; e.g., the focus on affect and the expression of patients’ emotions: e.g., Biel et al, 2023; Henley, 2023; Reininger et al, 2023). This intervention psychotherapy-success link could possibly inform integrative efforts, such as the establishment of a psychotherapeutic alliance independent of the psychotherapeutic procedure (Groth et al, 2020; Groth & Hilsenroth, 2021).…”

The Comparative Psychotherapy Process Scale (CPPS) is a 20-item scale which aims to capture technical features distinguishing cognitive behavioral (CBT) from psychodynamic (PD) psychotherapy (and vice versa) in two corresponding subscales (CBT and PD Subscale). Our objective was to validate a German self-report version of the CPPS regarding a previous psychotherapy session in a psychotherapist- and in a patient-version. Fifty-three psychotherapists and their 53 patients answered to the according German CPPS Scale as well as to specific subscales of the Multitheoretical List of Therapeutic Interventions self-report-instrument (MULTI-30 subscales) assessing CBT- and PD-specific intervention characteristics. We analyzed (a) the correlation of the CPPS with the MULTI-30 subscales, (b) the ability of the CPPS to distinguish whether therapy sessions were either CBT or PD using logistic regression, and (c) the correlation between psychotherapists’ and patients’ self-report regarding the preceding session (correlation). Both the psychotherapist- and the patient-version showed acceptable to good values of internal consistencies (α = .78–.84). The CBT and PD Subscales of the MULTI-30 correlated with the CPPS subscales in both versions (CBT: rs = .85 [psychotherapist-version] and .80 [patient-version], PD: rs = .79 [both versions]). Subscales correctly discriminated whether the previous session was a CBT or a PD session (correct predictions in 88.7% in the psychotherapist-version, 73.6% in the patient-version; χ2 ≥ 14.03, p < .001). The German version of the CPPS is a promising instrument to facilitate research on CBT- and PD-specific psychotherapy processes.

“…As we included all participant data, sample sizes and degrees of freedom vary. BECU (Beliefs about Emotions as Controllable and Useful) was assessed with the inversed Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (Becerra et al, 2020, German version: Biel et al, 2023), Psychological Stress Related to Somatic Symptoms was assessed with the SSD‐12 = Somatic Symptom Disorder‐B Criteria Scale (Toussaint et al, 2016). Since both samples are not normally distributed, we used Spearman's correlations ( r s ).…”

“…Previous research has shown that the more people believe their emotions are controllable and useful (BECU), the less they generally report psychological distress (Becerra et al, 2020; Biel et al, 2023; Ford & Gross, 2019). Psychological distress, in turn, has been given a prominent role in psychosomatic research, for example, in the form of psychological symptom burden (Fava et al, 2017; Kellner, 1994; Porcelli & Guidi, 2015; Van der Feltz‐Cornelis & Van Dyck, 1997), especially in the DSM‐5‐TR diagnosis of Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD; American Psychiatric Association, 2022; see also: Desai & Chaturvedi, 2016; Dimsdale & Levenson, 2013; Henningsen et al, 2018; Huang & Liao, 2018; Van den Eede & Van der Feltz‐Cornelis, 2018).…”

“…On the one hand, if emotions are experienced as controllable , more expectancy‐based effort should be invested in their regulation, or goals should be set that involve emotion regulation. On the other hand, if emotions are experienced as useful , an individual might not want them to be “simply reduced” but to take them seriously in their (interpersonal and intrapsychic) meaning (Biel et al, 2023). For these theoretical reasons, we hypothesized that BECU predicts improvement of psychological distress related to somatic symptoms over time in participants from the general population and that BECU relates to reduced psychological distress related to somatic symptoms cross‐sectional in patients with somatoform disorders.…”

BackgroundPrevious research has shown that the more people believe their emotions are controllable and useful (BECU), the less they generally report psychological distress. Psychological distress, in turn, impacts health outcomes, and is among the most frequently reported complaints in psychotherapeutic and psychosomatic practice.ObjectiveWe aimed to examine how BECU predicts psychological distress related to somatic symptoms in a prospective sample from the general population and to replicate this association in two cross‐sectional samples of psychosomatic patients.MethodsWe applied a panel design with an interval of 2 weeks between T1 and T2 in general‐population panel‐participants (N = 310), assessing BECU and psychological distress related to somatic symptoms via validated self‐report measures. Moreover, we cross‐sectionally replicated the relationship between BECU and psychological distress in a clinical sample of psychosomatic outpatients diagnosed with somatoform disorders (n = 101) or without somatoform disorders (n = 628).ResultsBECU predicted over and above the lagged criterion panel‐participants' psychological distress related to somatic symptoms, β = −.18, p < .001. BECU was also cross‐sectionally related to psychological distress in our clinical replication‐sample of psychosomatic outpatients diagnosed with somatoform disorders, rS(87) = −.33, p = .002 and in those without, rS(557) = ‐.21, p < .001.ConclusionsBECU as a malleable way of thinking about emotions predicted psychological distress related to somatic symptoms in general‐population panel‐participants and correlated with the same in two clinical replication samples. BECU thus becomes a promising treatment target in psychotherapeutic approaches.

Originally developed in English, the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ) is a self-report measure of beliefs about the controllability and usefulness of negative and positive emotions. In this study, we introduce the Polish version and examine its psychometric properties and links with emotional outcomes. Our sample was 914 Polish adults aged 18–70 from the general population. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to verify the factor structure. Convergent and divergent validity were assessed based on the relationship between the EBQ and emotional reactivity traits as well as markers of anxiety, depression, and stress. We assessed internal consistency reliability. We also examined discriminant validity by conducting exploratory factor analyses of EBQ scores and emotional reactivity traits and psychopathology symptoms. We evaluated criterion validity by conducting a set of multiple regression analyses, examining whether EBQ scores could predict significant variance in psychopathology symptoms. Our factor analyses supported the EBQ’s factorial validity, conforming to the intended 4-factor structure (subscales: negative-controllability, positive-controllability, negative-usefulness, positive-usefulness), with support also found for a higher-order general factor (e.g., CFI = 0.941, RMSEA = 0.063). This structure was invariant across gender and age categories. The EBQ subscales correlated in expected directions with emotional reactivity traits and psychopathology symptoms. The EBQ showed good internal consistency reliability (α = 0.77–0.88) and discriminant validity. Beliefs about the uncontrollability of negative emotions were the strongest unique predictor of psychopathology symptoms. We also presented percentile rank norms for Polish adults. The Polish version of the EBQ appears to have strong psychometric properties and good clinical relevance.
