Cognitive control biases in depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
10.1037/bul0000372<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/click.info.apa.org/?qs=671a8799b1948a29b326bcc5cd40e4f3b04ca918494502ef80104fec5fce4d74f85035841628b4a5ac3db51963918567bec687f2d942978c__;!!C5qS4YX3!D9cTPuQr-B1chsDZtJsGlrsG4o2Vrjq8_RYvAK8N5vFgULspeDev9V3UDtHJ27hd3eXDWm-8qTJW_xk$>

Cognitive theories of depression propose that impaired cognitive control of emotional material may be involved in the onset, maintenance, and/or recurrence of depression. The present study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on cognitive control biases in depression. Seventy-three articles describing 77 independent studies (N = 4,134 participants) were included in the meta-analysis. Depression-vulnerable individuals, including individuals with diagnosed major depressive disorder (MDD), remitted MDD (rMDD), and dysphoria, showed significantly impaired cognitive control of negative stimuli relative to both neutral and positive stimuli. Control samples did not exhibit the aforementioned biases, and instead showed significantly worse cognitive control of positive stimuli relative to negative stimuli and similar cognitive control of neutral stimuli relative to both negative and positive stimuli. Evidence for sample or methodological moderators of effect sizes was limited and inconsistent. Based on our review, we recommend that researchers assess and examine directional and causal relationships between multiple cognitive control biases (especially in updating and set shifting), investigate the causal relationships between general deficits and biases in cognitive control, select tasks that control for nontarget influences on performance (e.g., processing speed), use sample sizes adequately powered to detect small effects, provide psychometric information on task indices, consistently report within-groups biases and between-groups comparisons of biases, and examine potential moderators of cognitive control biases at the individual level.

Arthur Jensen, evolutionary biology, and racism.

Arthur R. Jensen (1923–2012) defended the idea that racial differences in intelligence were biologically based. He based his ideas on what he claimed were sound population genetics and evolutionary biology. Viewing his work through the lenses of those disciplines reveals that his arguments for biological racial differences did not meet the minimum evidentiary requirements needed to show that socially defined races were genetic populations. His evidence was from 19th-century race science and the race science of the Nazi regime. His reliance on such evidence supported Jensen’s fears that the country was in danger of collapse because of dysgenic breeding by those of low intelligence. Jensen’s well-known associations with scientific racists were not incidental to his scientific work, but central because he cited their work throughout his career.

The interplay of long-term memory and working memory: When does object-color prior knowledge affect color visual working memory?
10.1037/xhp0001071<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/click.info.apa.org/?qs=671a8799b1948a29825d4bc506924fbe17207aeaad88f8cf2ca047c65a3bbe5794834743985b50c6aee6a57924e8f90d3ac8b655de66bf2b__;!!C5qS4YX3!D9cTPuQr-B1chsDZtJsGlrsG4o2Vrjq8_RYvAK8N5vFgULspeDev9V3UDtHJ27hd3eXDWm-87A263Ls$>

Sobrinho, Nuno D.; Souza, Alessandra S.

Elaboration enriches newly encoded information by connecting it to prior knowledge. Here, we tested if prior knowledge about object-color associations improves visual working memory (VWM) for colors. A sequence of four colored objects was presented in four screen locations for a continuous color reproduction test. Object-color associations were either congruent with prior knowledge (e.g., red tomato) or incongruent (e.g., blue tomato). In Experiments 1 and 2, congruency had no effect on memory irrespective of memoranda format (images or words), encoding time (1,500 vs. 4,500 ms), and an instruction to elaborate. In Experiment 3, the object was also tested with a three-alternative forced-choice before or after probing color memory. We also included neutral objects (no color association) and abstract shapes and tested VWM and episodic memory. Congruent items were remembered better than in all other conditions, which did not systematically differ. In Experiment 4, we assessed the congruency effect when only color or both color and object were tested. Congruent objects were remembered better only when both features were tested. Hence, prior knowledge boosts VWM only when this knowledge is relevant at test. Our results suggest that retrieval manipulations can be critical for promoting the use of long-term memory knowledge.

Objective: To examine the role of psychological flexibility as a potential mediator in the relationship between involvement in a guided self-help intervention, Self-Help Plus, and psychological distress in a sample of South Sudanese refugee women living in northern Uganda. Method: We conducted secondary analysis of data from a cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in 2018. We used multilevel mediation modeling to explore the relationship of psychological flexibility, as measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), as a mediating factor in the relationship between Self-Help Plus involvement and general psychological distress as measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale–6 (K6). Results: We found strong multilevel mediation of decreased K6 scores in the treatment group by AAQ-II scores (multilevel b = −3.28). A more pronounced mediation effect was discovered immediately post intervention (b = −1.09) compared to 3-month follow-up (b = −0.84). This is in line with the current literature that demonstrates the role of psychological flexibility as a primary mechanism of change in ACT-based interventions. Conclusions: Psychological flexibility is a contributing component in the theory of change for this ACT-based intervention. Identifying the core components of interventions allows for more effective adaptation and implementation of relevant services, especially in low-resource contexts.

The seven-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Depression subscale (HADS-D) and the total score of the 14-item HADS (HADS-T) are both used for major depression screening. Compared to the HADS-D, the HADS-T includes anxiety items and requires more time to complete. We compared the screening accuracy of the HADS-D and HADS-T for major depression detection. We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis and fit bivariate random effects models to assess diagnostic accuracy among participants with both HADS-D and HADS-T scores. We identified optimal cutoffs, estimated sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals, and compared screening accuracy across paired cutoffs via two-stage and individual-level models. We used a 0.05 equivalence margin to assess equivalency in sensitivity and specificity. 20,700 participants (2,285 major depression cases) from 98 studies were included. Cutoffs of ≥7 for the HADS-D (sensitivity 0.79 [0.75, 0.83], specificity 0.78 [0.75, 0.80]) and ≥15 for the HADS-T (sensitivity 0.79 [0.76, 0.82], specificity 0.81 [0.78, 0.83]) minimized the distance to the top-left corner of the receiver operating characteristic curve. Across all sets of paired cutoffs evaluated, differences of sensitivity between HADS-T and HADS-D ranged from −0.05 to 0.01 (0.00 at paired optimal cutoffs), and differences of specificity were within 0.03 for all cutoffs (0.02–0.03). The pattern was similar among outpatients, although the HADS-T was slightly (not nonequivalently) more specific among inpatients. The accuracy of HADS-T was equivalent to the HADS-D for detecting major depression. In most settings, the shorter HADS-D would be preferred.

Objective: The prevention of delinquency can have long-term benefits for both the individual and society. Previous work has demonstrated positive effects of Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) on reducing delinquency across a 2-year period for adolescent females involved in the juvenile justice system. The present study examined whether the effects of TFCO are present across a 10-year period, and whether criminal offenses accrued in the juvenile justice system mediate the association between intervention condition and cumulative criminal offenses through emerging adulthood. Method: The sample included 166 women (68% non-Hispanic White) who had been court mandated to out-of-home care as adolescents, randomly assigned to one of two interventions, and followed for an average of 10 years. Juvenile (< 18 years of age) and adult criminal records data were collected and coded for offense severity. Results: Analyses revealed a significant effect of the TFCO intervention on cumulative criminal offense charge severity across the 10-year follow-up period (β = −.15, p < .05). This effect was mediated by offense charges that occurred after the baseline assessment and prior to Age 18, as shown through a significant indirect effect, β = −.09, p < .05, suggesting the importance of reductions in juvenile delinquency on later criminal offending. Conclusions: Intensive out-of-home interventions that reduce juvenile offenses for youth with chronic delinquency may have sustained effects on adult criminality. Implications for prevention programs for female adolescents are discussed.

Objective: Homeless adults represent a marginalized group with numerous psychiatric and physical illness risk factors for poor functional outcomes. This study investigated bidirectional associations between housing stability and neurocognitive functioning in homeless adults using a longitudinal study design. Method: Participants were homeless adults with serious mental illness from the At Home/Chez Soi study Toronto site who participated in a randomized control trial of Housing First. Participants underwent a comprehensive structured baseline interview and clinical evaluation. Up to four brief cognitive evaluations were completed over a period of up to 6 years. Housing status was ascertained every 3 months during the study period. Results: The analysis included 283 participants with at least one follow-up evaluation (Mage = 41 years, 70% men). In an adjusted time-lagged mixed-effects logistic regression model, higher verbal learning and memory performance (OR = 1.71, 95% CI [1.16, 2.52], p = .007), but not cognitive flexibility and processing speed, was associated with an increased likelihood of being stably housed in the subsequent 3 months. In a test of reverse associations, mixed-effects linear models did not reveal associations between housing stability in the preceding 3 months and neurocognitive functioning in either domain. Conclusions: These results suggest verbal learning and memory functioning is a key contributor to housing stability among homeless adults with serious mental illness. This work has important implications for health services that support individuals transitioning into stable housing and for the attainment of long-term functional independence.

When thriving requires effortful surviving: Delineating manifestations and resource expenditure outcomes of microaggressions for Black employees.

Although overt racism is condemned by many organizations, insidious forms of racism persist. Drawing on the conservation of resources framework (Hobfoll, 1989), this article identifies forms and outcomes of racial microaggressions—daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities that denigrate individuals from racially minoritized groups (Sue, Capodilupo, et al., 2007). Leveraging survey data from 345 Black employees, open-ended question qualitative insights delineate three overarching themes of workplace microaggression toward Black employees: anti-Black stereotype expression, racialized role assignment, and interactional injustice. We also detail how these themes manifest in nine distinct ways. Then, we model the cognitive and emotional resource recovery and protection processes that Black employees engage in to overcome workplace microaggressions. Quantitative results demonstrated that workplace microaggressions related to subsequent resource replenishment (i.e., co-rumination, or discussing feelings and venting about problems with coworkers; Rose, 2002) and protection (i.e., racism-related vigilance, or mentally preparing for anticipated racism; Clark et al., 2006) efforts. Further, results suggested undesirable effects of microaggressions on burnout and job satisfaction. Finally, we found a positive relationship between resourcing efforts and job satisfaction but found no support for trait resiliency or organizational support as buffers of microaggression effects. Implications for future research and direct interventions are discussed.

When teachers struggle to understand students’ thoughts, feelings, and motivations, the teacher–student relationship typically suffers. Better social perspective taking—understanding the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of others—should facilitate these relationships. In this preregistered field experiment, teachers (N = 105) from a kindergarten-to-ninth-grade charter school network participated in a new social perspective-taking induction aimed at helping them better understand their most perplexing students. Regression analyses showed that the induction caused treatment teachers to put more effort into understanding these students (Cohen’s d = .51) and perceive more positive (Cohen’s d = .41) and less negative (Cohen’s d = −.52) relationships with these students. Meanwhile, students of treatment teachers perceived more positivity in their relationships with their teachers (Cohen’s d = .82) and obtained higher course competency scores (akin to grades; Cohen’s d = .45). This preregistered study complements exploratory, laboratory-based studies with empirical evidence from real-world classroom settings. Implications of this research center on the promise of social perspective taking to improve teacher–student relationships and other important student outcomes.

Applying dynamic equilibrium theory (DET), we examined the temporal dynamics between role overload and three health behaviors (sleep, diet, physical activity). Participants (N = 781) completed five surveys, with 1-month lag between assessments, and the data were analyzed using general cross-lagged panel modeling (GCLM). Results indicated that people had stable health behavior patterns (i.e., there were strong unit effects) that were related to stable role overload patterns (i.e., the chronic role overload and health behavior factors were significantly related). Furthermore, while monthly increases (impulses) in role overload had a negative effect on health behaviors concurrently, health behaviors quickly adapted or regressed back toward previous levels (i.e., there were weak autoregressive and cross-lagged effects after accounting for chronic factors). Impulse response functions were created to show the specific proportion of the initial impulse effect that persisted on each health behavior over time. The results of these response functions indicated that diet and physical activity regressed back to previous levels within 1 month, whereas sleep regressed back to previous levels within 2 months. Collectively, our results suggest that people engage in fairly stable patterns of health behaviors and that these patterns are partly determined by chronic role overload. Our results also suggest that people are generally resilient to temporary changes in role overload, such that the resulting immediate changes in behavior do not persist or become habitual. These results underscore the strength of habits and the resistance to health behavior change, as well as provide support for the use of GCLM for studying DET.

Role of time in binding features in visual working memory.

Previous research on feature binding in visual working memory has supported a privileged role for location in binding an object’s nonspatial features. However, humans are able to correctly recall feature conjunctions of objects that occupy the same location at different times. In a series of behavioral experiments, we investigated binding errors under these conditions, and specifically tested whether ordinal position can take the role of location in mediating feature binding. We performed two dual report experiments in which participants had to memorize three colored shapes presented sequentially at the screen center. When participants were cued with the ordinal position of one item and had to report its shape and color, report errors for the two features were largely uncorrelated. In contrast, when participants were cued, for example, with an item’s shape and reported an incorrect ordinal position, they had a high chance of making a corresponding error in the color report. This pattern of error correlations closely matched the predictions of a model in which color and shape are bound to each other only indirectly via an item’s ordinal position. In a third experiment, we directly compared the roles of location and sequential position in feature binding. Participants viewed a sequence of colored disks displayed at different locations and were cued either by a disk’s location or its ordinal position to report its remaining properties. The pattern of errors supported a mixed strategy with individual variation, suggesting that binding via either time or space could be used for this task.
