“…As expected, levels of depression were somewhat elevated in the present sample (M = 39.9, S.D. = 12.8), which corresponds to the 60th percentile in U.S. normative data; Nelson et al (2018).…”

Social context and the real-world consequences of social anxiety

BackgroundSocial anxiety lies on a continuum, and young adults with elevated symptoms are at risk for developing a range of psychiatric disorders. Yet relatively little is known about the factors that govern the hour-by-hour experience and expression of social anxiety in the real world.MethodsHere we used smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to intensively sample emotional experience across different social contexts in the daily lives of 228 young adults selectively recruited to represent a broad spectrum of social anxiety symptoms.ResultsLeveraging data from over 11 000 real-world assessments, our results highlight the central role of close friends, family members, and romantic partners. The presence of such close companions was associated with enhanced mood, yet socially anxious individuals had fewer confidants and spent less time with the close companions that they do have. Although higher levels of social anxiety were associated with a general worsening of mood, socially anxious individuals appear to derive larger benefits – lower levels of negative affect, anxiety, and depression – from their close companions. In contrast, variation in social anxiety was unrelated to the amount of time spent with strangers, co-workers, and acquaintances; and we uncovered no evidence of emotional hypersensitivity to these less-familiar individuals.ConclusionsThese findings provide a framework for understanding the deleterious consequences of social anxiety in emerging adulthood and set the stage for developing improved intervention strategies.

“…MTurk has been shown to provide data that have sound psychometric properties (Paolacci & Chandler, 2014), and demographic surveys demonstrate that MTurk workers are very similar to the national populations from which they are drawn (Paolacci, Chandler, & Ipeirotis, 2010). In addition, MTurk has been used in prior clinical and measure development studies (Shapiro, Chandler, & Mueller, 2013), as well as to define national norms of a common clinical measure (i.e., inventory of depression and anxiety symptoms; Nelson, O'Hara, & Watson, 2018). Researchers have demonstrated that data obtained by MTurk workers are similar to data collected from college undergraduates or community samples derived from college towns in domains such as political orientation (Berinsky, Huber, & Lenz, 2012), personality characteristics (Buhrmester, Kwang, & Gosling, 2011), and basic biases in decision making (Paolacci et al, 2010).…”

The Compensatory ADHD Behaviors Scale (CABS): Development and Initial Validation

2018

Several measures are available that assess inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and executive functioning deficits. Treatments for adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and skill-based academic interventions focus on improving compensatory strategies to ameliorate functional impairment; however, no measure exists that examines the compensatory behaviors adults utilize to compensate for the functional deficits associated with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. The current study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Compensatory ADHD Behaviors Scale (CABS). Five-hundred participants ( M = 36.83, SD = 11.57) completed measures of ADHD symptomatology, executive functioning, functional impairment, mood disorder symptoms, and the CABS. Analyses revealed that scales assessing both use and effectiveness of compensatory behaviors subscales had similar factor structures, reflecting present- and future-oriented behaviors. The present-, but not future-oriented, behaviors significantly related to ADHD symptomatology, executive dysfunction, and functional impairment; effectiveness of present-oriented compensatory behaviors demonstrated incremental validity in predicting impairment. Compensatory strategies may be a useful variable to measure when examining functional impairment associated with inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. The current study provides preliminary evidence of the ability of CABS to validly measure various strategies associated with (clinical and subclinical) ADHD symptomatology, executive functioning, and overall impairment.

“…The three MDD risk factors were not associated with each other (ps>.05). Participants reported an average IDAS General Depression score of 32.92 (SD=8.86), which corresponds to the 44 th percentile in a national norming sample (Nelson et al, 2018). Depression severity was greater in individuals with a history of MDD (M=37.40, SD=9.44) compared to healthy controls (M=28.28, SD=5.14), t(45.12)=4.63, p<.001, d=1.22, but did not differ between participants with and without a family history of MDD,t(40.75)=1.39,p=.173,d=.39,and was unrelated to the RewP,t(57)=.91,p=.367.…”

Affect dynamics reflect individual differences in how emotional information is processed, and may provide insights into how depressive episodes develop. To extend prior studies that examined affect dynamics in currently depressed individuals, the present study tested in 68 nondepressed young adults whether three well-established risk factors for major depressive disorder (MDD) -(a) past episodes of MDD, (b) family history of MDD, and (c) reduced neurophysiological responses to reward -predicted mean levels, instability, or inertia (i.e., inflexibility) of positive affect (PA) and/or negative affect (NA). Momentary PA and NA were assessed up to 6 times per day for 14 days (mean number of surveys completed=45.89). MDD history and family history of MDD were assessed via semi-structured interview, and neurophysiological responses to reward were indexed using the Reward Positivity, an eventrelated potential related to depression. After adjusting for current depressive symptoms, results indicated that (a) past episodes of MDD predicted higher mean levels of NA, (b) family history of MDD predicted greater PA inertia, and (c) blunted reactivity to reward predicted greater NA inertia. Collectively, these results suggest that elevated mean levels of NA and inflexibility of PA and NA may be potential mechanisms that confer risk for depression.

National norms for the expanded version of the inventory of depression and anxiety symptoms (IDAS‐II)

Abstract: The present study provides information on the distribution of specific internalizing symptoms in a large national sample, as well as on how these symptoms are related to demographic characteristics.
