Positive Emotion Regulation in Emotional Disorders: A Theoretical Review
Jenna R. Carl, David P. Soskin, Caroline Kerns, David H. Barlow
Highlights
? Positive emotions are an under studied topic in research for emotional disorders ? Disturbances in positive emotion regulation occur across anxiety and mood disorders ? Treatment strategies may be adapted to target the regulation of positive emotions
David G. Pearson, Catherine Deeprose, Sophie M.A. Wallace-Hadrill, Stephanie Burnett Heyes, Emily A. Holmes
Highlights
? Mental imagery is of potential interest and relevance across clinical disorders. ? We highlight the key domains and measures for assessing mental imagery. ? We propose a guiding framework for the selection of measures in clinical research. ? Exploring mental imagery will help drive forward advances in theory and treatment.

Highlights
? We discuss the high prevalence of sleep disruption during the euthymic phase of bipolar disorder. ?Executive functioning, verbal learning and attention deficits persist in the euthymic phase. ? Cognitive deficits in sleep disorders/sleep-deprived subjects are similar to bipolar disorder. ? An integration of sleep and neurocognitive research is proposed. ? Endogenous cognitive endophenotypes and sleep-mediated cognitive endophenotypes may co-exist.

Highlights
? The symptom structure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is controversial. ? The difference between the Numbing and Dysphoria models has been mischaracterized. ? Non-clinical factors may underlie the seeming misfit of the DSM-IV model of PTSD. ? Proposed revisions to the forthcoming DSM-5 may be misguided.

Highlights
? Attachment as biobehavioral system offers a valuable perspective on aging. ? We provide a qualitative review of empirical research from 1983 to 2012. ? Number and type of attachment figures, but also quality of attachment alter. ? Attachment has an impact on psychosocial functioning in old age. ? Methodological limitations preclude drawing strong conclusions.

A non-mentalistic cause-based heuristic in human social evaluations
Marine Buon, Pierre Jacob, Elsa Loissel, Emmanuel Dupoux
Highlights
? We studied how causal and intentional cues are integrated into moral judgment. ? Adults under normal or cognitive load conditions judged different situations of harm. ? In normal conditions, judgments are primarily based on agents’ intention. ? Under cognitive load, judgments are primarily based on agents’ causal roles. ?Morality is first guided by a cause-based heuristic; integrating intentions is costly.

The latent structure of decision styles
Chris Dewberry, Marie Juanchich, Sunitha Narendran
Highlights
? We propose a model of the structure of decision-making styles. ? The model differentiates between core and regulatory decision styles. ? Two cross-sectional studies are carried out to investigate the model. ? Support for the model is found in both studies.

Highlights
? Affiliative and self-enhancing humor style are protective against suicidal ideation. ? Aggressive and self-defeating humor relates to higher levels of suicidal ideation. ? Affiliative humor style buffers against interpersonal suicide risk. ? Self-defeating humor style exacerbates interpersonal suicide risk.

Predictive validity of explicit and implicit threat overestimation in contamination fear
Jennifer S. Green, Bethany A. Teachman
Highlights
? Explicit and implicit threat overestimation variables have differential predictive validity. ? A latent explicit threat overestimation variable predicts contamination fear symptoms, distress, and state cognitions. ? A latent implicit threat overestimation variable predicts behavioral avoidance.
Symptom dimensions in OCD and their association with clinical characteristics and comorbid disorders
Lokesh Prabhu, Anish V. Cherian, Biju Viswanath, Thennarasu Kandavel, Suresh Bada Math, Y.C. Janardhan Reddy
Highlights
? Earlier age of onset is associated with sexual/religious and symmetry dimensions. ? Contamination is associated with female sex, illness severity, and poorer insight. ? Aggression dimension is associated with presence of anxiety disorders. ? OCD symptom dimensions have specific association with clinical characteristics. ? Symptom dimensions may have to be included in DSM-5 text to characterize OCD.
Personality
A preliminary investigation of impulsivity in generalized anxiety disorder
Elizabeth J. Pawluk, Naomi Koerner
Highlights
? This study examined the association of impulsivity to GAD status and GAD severity. ? Impulsivity predicted GAD over and above intolerance of uncertainty (IU). ? Negative urgency, lower functional impulsivity and IU uniquely predicted GAD. ? Findings are discussed in relation to existing psychological theories of GAD.

Thinking like a scientist: Innateness as a case study
Joshua Knobe, Richard Samuels
Highlights
? Three studies show that moral judgments can affect judgments about whether a trait is innate. ? A large-scale study compared trained researchers (n=1506) to other participants (n=5043). ? In conditions that encourage case-based thinking, even researchers show an impact of morality. ? In conditions that encourage principled thinking, the effect is reduced in all participants.

Highlights
? Perfectionism as a mediator between obsessive–compulsive and eating disorder symptoms. ? Higher ED symptoms were linked to greater perfectionism and greater OC symptoms. ? Perfectionism mediated the relationship between elevated OC and ED symptoms. ? Perfectionism may serve as a shared etiological feature among ED and OC symptoms.

Flaws and all: Exploring partner-focused obsessive-compulsive symptoms
Guy Doron, Danny S. Derby, Ohad Szepsenwol, Dahlia Talmor
Highlights
? We investigated obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms focusing on one’s partner’s flaws. ? The Partner Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Inventory (PROCSI) was developed. ? Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were undertaken. ? The expected links between the PROCSI and relevant variables were found. ? Partner-focused OC symptoms constitute an important theme for further research.
Mental contamination in obsessive–compulsive disorder

Assessing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): A review of self-report measures
Mathilde K. Overduin, Adrian Furnham
Highlights
? OCD is a heterogeneous disorder that tends to be comorbid with other mental disorders. ? Assessment tools of OCD need to take these diagnostic complexities into account. ? Measures also need to be compatible with the multidimensional symptom structure of OCD. ? This paper provides a critical review of 10 self-report OCD measures used with adults. ? Hence, this is a resource for researchers and clinicians for optimal selection of OCD measures.
