Grounded theories assume that there is no central module for cognition. According to this view, all cognitive phenomena, including those considered the province of amodal cognition such as reasoning, numeric, and language processing, are ultimately grounded in (and emerge from) a variety of bodily, affective, perceptual, and motor processes. The development and expression of cognition is constrained by the embodiment of cognitive agents and various contextual factors (physical and social) in which they are immersed. The grounded framework has received numerous empirical confirmations. Still, there are very few explicit computational models that implement grounding in sensory, motor and affective processes …

Intersectionality: Mental Health Interpreters And Clinicians Or Finding The “Sweet Spot” In Therapy, Cathy Chovaz
Psychology Publications
This paper examines the complex and multiple contributions that the mental health clinician, sign language interpreter and Deaf client bring to the mental health context. Building on D-C schema, the author proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the intersection of these factors and the influence on mental health outcomes.
Evaluation Of The Internal Consistency, Factor Structure, And Validity Of The Depression Change Expectancy Scale, Kari M. Eddington, David J. A. Dozois, Barb J. Backs-Dermott
Evaluation Of The Internal Consistency, Factor Structure, And Validity Of The Depression Change Expectancy Scale, Kari M. Eddington, David J. A. Dozois, Barb J. Backs-Dermott
Psychology Publications
The psychometric properties and predictive validity of the Depression Change Expectancy Scale (DCES), a modification of an expectancy scale originally developed for patients with anxiety disorders, were examined in two studies. In Study 1, the 20-item scale was administered along with a battery of questionnaires to a sample of 416 dysphoric undergraduate students and demonstrated good internal consistency. A two-factor solution most parsimoniously accounted for the variance, with one factor containing all pessimistically worded items (DCES-P) and the second containing all optimistically worded items (DCES-O). The DCES-P showed patterns of correlations with other measures of related constructs consistent with hypothesized …
Early Maladaptive Schemas, Styles Of Humor And Aggression, David J. A. Dozois, R. A. Martin, B. Faulkner
Early Maladaptive Schemas, Styles Of Humor And Aggression, David J. A. Dozois, R. A. Martin, B. Faulkner
Psychology Publications
The relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and psychopathology is thought to be mediated by the use of maladaptive compensatory coping and deficits in adaptive coping. One form of coping that might be affected by EMSs is an individual’s style of humor, which can be adaptive or maladaptive. This study examined the relationships among EMS domains, styles of humor, and aggression. The EMS domain of Impaired Limits was most consistently related to aggression. Moreover, as predicted, an aggressive style of humor mediated the relationship between Impaired Limits and various aspects of aggression (i.e., verbal, physical, and hostility). In addition, self-defeating …

In June 2011, the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Board of Directors launched a task force on the evidence-based practice of psychological treatments. The purpose of this task force was to operationalize what constitutes evidence-based practice in psychological treatment, to make recommendations about how psychologists can best integrate evidence into practice, and to disseminate information to consumers about evidence-based interventions. An important impetus for this task force was the continuing and widening scientist–practitioner gap. There are both barriers and opportunities when it comes to promoting greater reliance on the scientific literature and greater uptake of empirically supported treatments among practitioners. Two …
