“…More specifically, future models should better account for the nuances of change throughout psychotherapy, given conflicting consensus on the most appropriate way to analyse change in various situations. This study utilized residualized change scores to account for baseline severity of symptoms without inflating results, but latent change scores could better account for change and measurement error; they were beyond the scope of this current initial study (Saito, 2020).…”

“…A hierarchical linear regression was calculated to predict change in depression across treatment with change in OCD symptom severity and distress tolerance entered in the first step, and change in EA entered in the second step. Residualized change scores were utilized as dependent variables in this study given that they have been found to produce similar results to change scores when no distinct group differences exist and account for potential regression to the mean (Saito, 2020).…”

Background: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression commonly co-occur. Past research has evaluated underlying mechanisms of depression in the context of other diagnoses, but few to no studies have done this within OCD. Aims: This study examines the relationships between distress tolerance (DT), experiential avoidance (EA), depression, and OCD symptom severity across intensive/residential treatment (IRT) for OCD. It was hypothesized that all variables would be significantly moderately related and EA would emerge as a potential contributing factor to change in depression and OCD symptoms across IRT for OCD. Method: The sample included 311 participants with a primary diagnosis of OCD seeking IRT. Correlations were performed between all variables at both admission and discharge. A two-step hierarchical regression with change in OCD symptoms and change in DT in the first block and change in EA in the second block examined if change in EA explained change in depression above and beyond change in OCD and DT ability. Results: At both admission and discharge, higher EA, lower DT, and higher OCD symptom severity were significantly associated with more depressive symptoms. Change in EA explained a significant amount of variance in change in depression above and beyond change in OCD symptom severity and change in DT. Conclusions: This study expands past results within an OCD sample, emphasizing EA as an important treatment target in OCD. Future studies could utilize samples from other treatment contexts, use a measure of EA specific to OCD, and utilize a longitudinal model that takes temporal precedence into account.

“…Finally, to explore whether change in parents’ learning of CPS (CPS-AIM-P) predicted changes in outcomes (Y-OQ-30 and PCRI), we computed a residualized change score for each variable by regressing each variable at 3 months on itself at intake, removing baseline differences and obtaining the residuals (see Castro-Schilo & Grimm, 2018; Saito, 2020), then conducted linear regressions with the residualized change score of Y-OQ-30 and PCRI predicted by the residualized change score of CPS-AIM-P, with the covariates as predictors and a Bonferroni adjustment ( p = .01) to account for five tests (Y-OQ-30 and four subscales of PCRI in Sample 4).…”

Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is an intervention for reducing children’s challenging behaviors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of family therapy using CPS in an outpatient clinic that specializes in treating children with challenging behaviors. One hundred and twenty families presented for treatment. Diagnoses at intake were varied, and 100 children (83%) had symptoms that were in the clinical range at intake. Parents reported significant change in their understanding of challenging behavior and prediction of children’s behavioral symptoms 3 months into treatment. Furthermore, children’s improvement was predicted by their parents’ increased understanding that cognitive skill deficits are responsible for challenging behavior. These results suggest that using CPS in community-based, outpatient family treatment is effective for helping children who exhibit a range of clinical symptoms. Results provide insights for clinical practice and research on CPS.

Effects of Gender, Education, Income, Social Rank, Financial Stress, and Shame on Beliefs About the Autonomy of One’s Opinions and Their Expression

Individuals’ beliefs about their opinion-related tendencies should interest public opinion researchers for at least two reasons. First, these beliefs could influence opinion-related behaviors. Second, they are likely to indicate tendencies that transcend specific situations and pertain to a wide range of subjects for which opinions can be held. This study investigates the associations of demographic characteristics, material and social resources, and subjective experiences with the belief that one tends to develop independent opinions (i.e., opinion autonomy) and expresses one’s minority opinions (i.e., expressed autonomy). Effects are estimated through analyses of three waves of data collected from a sample of the U.S. adult population. Education, age, community rank, financial stress, and shame are revealed to have effects of similar magnitude on expressed autonomy and opinion autonomy. Gender is the only variable investigated associated with only one form of autonomy—expressed autonomy. The findings are interpreted through the lenses of identity and affect control theories. Processes related to maintaining authenticity, perceived self-worthiness, and confidence in oneself as an independent thinker and agent are theorized as underlying the results.
