“…The CMT was originally developed for use with SST modules (25) to assess factual knowledge about skills and the application of skills in vignettes, and was adapted for this study to assess mastery of the specific content trained in CBSST (CMT total range = 0–33). The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) (26), Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) (27), Beck Depression Inventory – 2 nd Edition (BDI-II) (28), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (29) were administered to assess clinical symptoms. Based on factor analytic studies of the SANS (30–32), two negative symptom factors were derived: Diminished Expression , defined as the average of Affective Flattening and Alogia global ratings (items 8, 13); and Diminished Motivation , defined as the average of Avolition-Apathy and Anhedonia-Asociality global ratings (items 17, 22).…”

Objectives To determine whether cognitive behavioral social skills training (CBSST) is an effective psychosocial intervention to improve functioning in older consumers with schizophrenia, and whether defeatist performance attitudes are associated with change in functioning in CBSST. Design An 18-month, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Setting Outpatient clinic at a university-affiliated Veterans Affairs hospital. Participants Veteran and non-veteran consumers with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (N=79) age 45–78. Interventions CBSST was a 36-session, weekly group therapy that combined cognitive behavior therapy with social skills training and problem solving training to improve functioning. The comparison intervention, goal-focused supportive contact (GFSC), was supportive group therapy focused on achieving functioning goals. Measurements Blind raters assessed functioning (primary outcome: Independent Living Skills Survey) CBSST skill mastery, positive and negative symptoms, depression, anxiety, defeatist attitudes, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Results Functioning trajectories over time were significantly more positive in CBSST than in GFSC, especially for participants with more severe defeatist performance attitudes. Greater improvement in defeatist attitudes was also associated with better functioning in CBSST, but not GFSC. Both treatments showed comparable significant improvements in amotivation, depression, anxiety, positive self-esteem and life satisfaction. Conclusions CBSST is an effective treatment to improve functioning in older consumers with schizophrenia, and both CBSST and other supportive goal-focused interventions can reduce symptom distress, increase motivation and self esteem, and improve life satisfaction. Participants with more severe defeatist performance attitudes may benefit most from cognitive behavioral interventions that target functioning.

“…Beck Anxiety Inventory-The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck & Steer, 1993) consists of 21 items assessing somatic and affective symptoms of anxiety (e.g., "feeling hot," "fear of dying," "scared," "dizzy or lightheaded"). Responses were on a scale from 0-3, with 0 representing the absence of a symptom and 1-3 representing increasing symptom levels.…”

Anxiety, Sex-Linked Behaviors, and Digit Ratios (2D:4D)

The second to fourth (2D:4D) digit ratio, a sexually dimorphic, phenotypic characteristic putatively associated with perinatal androgen action, has been used to evaluate the hypothesized relation between prenatal hormonal factors and a variety of sexually dimorphic behaviors, including sexlinked psychopathology. Smaller digit ratios, suggestive of stronger perinatal androgen action, have been associated with male-linked disorders (e.g., autism), and larger digit ratios, suggestive of weaker perinatal androgen action, have been associated with female-linked disorders (e.g., depression and eating disorders). To evaluate the possible relation between digit ratio and another traditionally female-linked disorder, anxiety, 2D:4D ratios were measured in a non-clinical sample (58 men, 52 women). Participants also completed a battery of anxiety and gender role measures and performed two spatial/cognitive tasks typically showing a male advantage (mental rotation and targeting) and two tasks typically showing a female advantage (location memory and spatial working memory). Men with a more feminine pattern of sex-linked traits and behaviors (including digit ratios) reported greater anxiety. In contrast, greater anxiety in women was associated with both female-typical and male-typical traits and behaviors, and no significant association between digit ratio and anxiety was found. This pattern of results suggests that the development of anxiety is multiply determined, with contributing factors varying by sex.

“…Anxiety scores were higher in the AD group, M = 41.23, (SD = 8.37) as compared to the non-AD group, M = 36.91, (SD = 11.28), but this difference was not significant t (42) = -1.44, p>.05. AD and non-AD groups also differed on their scores for depression (Beck Depression Inventory;BDI;Beck and Steer, 1990). BDI scores were higher for AD, M = 12.34 (SD = 8.12) than for the non-AD group, M = 9.87 (SD = 6.54) and this difference was significant t (42) = -2.56, p<.001.…”

Alcohol dependence and perspective taking 2 Highlights Alcoholism is associated with cognitive deficits which may affect social processing  We tested whether alcoholism affects visuo-spatial perspective taking (VSPT) Alcohol dependent (AD) participants show no VSPT deficits in this task  Non-AD participants show an automatic VSPT effect to fearful faces only  However ADs show an automatic VSPT effect to both neutral and fearful faces Alcohol dependence and perspective taking 3 ABSTRACTBackground: Alcoholism is associated with cognitive deficits that affect social
