Abstract

ObjectiveThe objective was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of nine positive psychology exercises delivered to patients hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and to secondarily explore the relative impact of the exercises.MethodParticipants admitted to a psychiatric unit for suicidal ideation or behavior completed daily positive psychology exercises while hospitalized. Likert-scale ratings of efficacy (optimism, hopelessness, perceived utility) and ease of completion were consolidated and compared across exercises using mixed models accounting for age, missing data and exercise order. Overall effects of exercise on efficacy and ease were also examined using mixed models.ResultsFifty-two (85.3%) of 61 participants completed at least one exercise, and 189/213 (88.7%) assigned exercises were completed. There were overall effects of exercise on efficacy (χ(2)=19.39; P=.013) but not ease of completion (χ(2)=11.64; P=.17), accounting for age, order and skipped exercises. Effect (Cohen's d) of exercise on both optimism and hopelessness was moderate for the majority of exercises. Exercises related to gratitude and personal strengths ranked highest. Both gratitude exercises had efficacy scores that were significantly (P=.001) greater than the lowest-ranked exercise (forgiveness).ConclusionIn this exploratory project, positive psychology exercises delivered to suicidal inpatients were feasible and associated with short-term gains in clinically relevant outcomes.

20. Parental Social Anxiety during an Experimental Parent-Child Learned Helplessness Procedure.

Abstract

Research suggests that mothers interacting with disruptive children tend to experience greater negative affect (NA) and less parental confidence. Because children with externalizing disorders can be quite oppositional and rejecting, involvement in the parental role can lead to a sense of learned helplessness that can exacerbate anxious feelings. This study looked at whether high-social anxiety (SA) mothers were more likely to experience greater distress and negative self-appraisals of parenting performance than low-SA mothers, during an experimental interaction with an uncontrollable, deviant child. The experimental task had each parent interact with child confederates such that in one session a child behaved in a cooperative fashion and in a second session, a different child exhibited behaviors characteristic of externalizing disorders. Measures of distress and affect including self-ratings, observer mood ratings, heart rate, and blood pressure were obtained. Results indicated that high-SA parents experienced greater NA, regardless of child behavior, compared to low-SA parents. It appears that high-SA parents have a lower threshold for activated negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and irritability and less positive interpersonal engagement.
