“…Second, according to the daily experience, the anger-related cognition and emotion that has triggered angry rumination may make it easier for an individual to regard the ambiguous cue or unintentional provocation as hostile or intentional; similarly, the angry rumination may facilitate the development of hostile attribution bias in daily life. For example, a recent study found that a component of rumination leads to a negatively biased direction in interpreting ambiguous cues [18]. Thus, another aim of this study is exploring the longitudinal effect of angry rumination on hostile attribution bias at the same time.…”

Hostile attribution bias and angry rumination: A longitudinal study of undergraduate students

Angry rumination and hostile attribution bias are important cognitive factors of aggression. Although prior theoretical models of aggression suggest that aggressive cognitive factors may influence each other, there are no studies examining the longitudinal relationship between angry rumination and hostile attribution bias. The present study used cross-lagged structural equation modeling to explore the longitudinal mutual relationship between hostile attribution bias and angry rumination; 941 undergraduate students (38.5% male) completed questionnaires assessing the variables at two time points. The results indicate that hostile attribution bias showed a small but statistically significant effect on angry rumination 6 months later, and angry rumination showed a quite small but marginally significant effect on hostile attribution bias across time. The present study supports the idea that hostile attribution bias influences angry rumination, and argue that the relationship between angry rumination and hostile attribution bias may be mutual. Additionally, the results suggest that there may be a causal relation of different aggression-related cognitive factors.

“…We aim to replicate the evidence for rumination and self-esteem as possible mechanisms of change. In addition, we examine memory bias as potential mediator which is related to rumination [42,43] and self-esteem [44]. Negative bias in recall of self-related information has been recognized as important factor in the development and maintenance of depression (see cognitive model by Beck) [45][46][47][48][49].…”

Exercise enhances: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial on aerobic exercise as depression treatment augmentation

et al. 2020

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a considerable public health concern. In spite of evidence-based treatments for MDD, many patients do not improve and relapse is common. Therefore, improving treatment outcomes is much needed and adjunct exercise treatment may have great potential. Exercise was shown to be effective as monotherapy for depression and as augmentation strategy, with evidence for increasing neuroplasticity. Data on the cost-effectiveness and the long-term effects of adjunct exercise treatment are missing. Similarly, the cognitive pathways toward remission are not well understood. Methods The present study is designed as a multicenter randomized superiority trial in two parallel groups with follow-up assessments up to 15 months. Currently depressed outpatients (N = 120) are randomized to guideline concordant Standard Care (gcSC) alone or gcSC with adjunct exercise treatment for 12 weeks. Randomization is stratified by gender and setting, using a four, six, and eight block design. Exercise treatment is offered in accordance with the NICE guidelines and empirical evidence, consisting of one supervised and two at-home exercise sessions per week at moderate intensity. We expect that gcSC with adjunct exercise treatment is more (cost-)effective in decreasing depressive symptoms compared to gcSC alone. Moreover, we will investigate the effect of adjunct exercise treatment on other health-related outcomes (i.e. functioning, fitness, physical activity, health-related quality of life, and motivation and energy). In addition, the mechanisms of change will be studied by exploring any change in rumination, self-esteem, and memory bias as possible mediators between exercise treatment and depression outcomes. Discussion The present trial aims to inform the scientific and clinical community about the (cost-)effectiveness and psychosocial mechanisms of change of adjunct exercise treatment when implemented in the mental health service setting. Results of the present study may improve treatment outcomes in MDD and facilitate implementation of prescriptive exercise treatment in outpatient settings. Trial registration This trial is registered within the Netherlands Trial Register (code: NL8432, date: 6th March, 2020).

“…A few CBM experiments have modified interpretation biases in ways that affect subsequent measures of memory (e.g., Hertel et al 2014; Joormann et al 2015; Tran et al 2011). However, more direct attempts to modify memory are rare (see Fox et al 2014).…”

Practicing Emotionally Biased Retrieval Affects Mood and Establishes Biased Recall a Week Later

Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) can yield clinically relevant results. Only few studies have directly manipulated memory bias, which is prominent in depression. In a new approach to CBM, we sought to simulate or oppose ruminative processes by training the retrieval of negative or positive words. Participants studied positive and negative word pairs (Swahili cues with Dutch translations). In the positive and negative conditions, each of the three study trials was followed by a cued-recall test of training-congruent translations; a no-practice condition merely studied the pairs. Recall of the translations was tested after the training and after 1 week. Both recall tests revealed evidence of training-congruent bias and bias was associated with emotional autobiographical memory. Positive retrieval practice yielded stable positive mood, in contrast to the other conditions. The results indicate that memory bias can be established through retrieval practice and that the bias transfers to mood and autobiographical memory.
