“…Also, both groups studied saw a decrease in anxiety and negative emotion words and an increase in positive emotion words. This finding adds knowledge to the literature base on negative and positive emotions in the recovery process (e.g., Folkman, 2008;Kelly, 2017;Keyes, 2007;McHugh, Kaufman, Frost, Fitzmaurice, & Weiss, 2013;Serafini, Malin-Mayor, Nich, Hunkele, & Carroll, 2016;Vaillant, 2008;Zemore, 2017).

Objective: Research indicates that the language used in addiction matters; therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether differences in discursive and psychological processes exist in treatment manuals used for addiction treatment. Method: Using a synchronic corpus linguistic design, twelve-step facilitation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivation enhancement therapy manuals from Project MATCH were analyzed using LIWC2015. The log-likelihood ratio test was used to examine if difference in variables exist between the three manuals, with post hoc analysis to further examine differences. Bayesian information criterion was used to measure effect size, which ranged from weak to very strong. Results: Statistically significant differences exist in analytical thinking, authentic, emotional tone, first-person singular pronouns, second-person pronouns, third-person plural pronouns, negative emotion, male, and biological process words. Conclusions: Differences exist in psycholinguistic, linguistic, psychological, and physical processes between TSF, MET, and CBT. The greatest differences across all variables were between TSF and MET. Physical and mental aspects are addressed in TSF, whereas MET focuses on mental aspects. Knowledge of these and other differences support treatment matching for improved client outcomes. Findings of this study may have relevance to clinicians who provide addiction treatment, manual writers, addiction researchers, and clients with addiction issues. Further study of I words, which correlate with truth-telling, versus we words which support community, is suggested.

BackgroundStudies on risk preferences have long been of great concern and have examined the neural basis underlying risk‐based decision making. However, studies using conventional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) revealed that bilateral stimulation could change risk propensity with limited evidence of precisely focalized unilateral high‐definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD‐tDCS). The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of HD‐tDCS focalizing the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on risk‐taking behavior during the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART).MethodsThis study was designed as a between‐subject, single‐blind, sham‐controlled experiment. University students were randomly assigned to three groups: the anodal group (F3 anode, AF3, F1, F5, FC3 returned), the cathodal group (F3 cathodal, AF3, F1, F5, FC3 returned) and the sham group. Subsequently, 1.5‐mA 20‐min HD‐tDCS was applied during the BART, and the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), the Sensation Seeking Scale‐5 (SSS‐5), and the Behavioral Inhibition System and Behavioral Approach System scale (BIS/BAS) were measured as control variables.ResultsThe cathodal group earned less total money than the sham group, and no significant difference was observed between the anodal group and the sham group.ConclusionsThese results showed that, to some extent, focalized unilateral cathodal HD‐tDCS on left DLPFC could change performance during risky tasks and diminish risky decision making. Further studies are needed to investigate the dose effect and electrode distribution of HD‐tDCS during risky tasks and examine synchronous brain activity to show the neural basis.

“…Nevertheless, the PANAS has only been validated in the general population, both its original version [11] and the Spanish version [27], as well as in the other previously mentioned countries. However, some validations have been carried out with clinical samples, such as forensic samples [28], psychiatric outpatients [21], substance users [29], and adult women with fibromyalgia [30].…”

Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS): psychometric properties of the online Spanish version in a clinical sample with emotional disorders

et al. 2020

Background: The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is the most widely and frequently used scale to assess positive and negative affect. The PANAS has been validated in several languages, and it has shown excellent psychometric properties in the general population and some clinical samples, such as forensic samples, substance users, and adult women with fibromyalgia. Nevertheless, the psychometric properties of the scale have not yet been examined in clinical samples with anxiety, depressive, and adjustment disorders. In addition, the proliferation of Internet-based treatments has led to the development of a wide range of assessments conducted online with digital versions of pen and paper self-report questionnaires. However, no validations have been carried out to analyze the psychometric properties of the online version of the PANAS. The present study investigates the psychometric properties of the online Spanish version of the PANAS in a clinical sample of individuals with emotional disorders. Methods: The sample was composed of 595 Spanish adult volunteers with a diagnosis of depressive disorder (n = 237), anxiety disorder (n = 284), or adjustment disorder (n = 74). Factor structure, construct validity, internal consistency, and sensitivity to change were analyzed. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a latent structure of two independent factors, consistent with previous validations of the instrument. The analyses showed adequate convergent and discriminant validity, good internal consistency as well as sensitivity to change. Conclusions: Overall, the results obtained in this study show that the online version of the PANAS has adequate psychometric properties for the assessment of positive and negative affect in a Spanish clinical population.
