Dynamics of following and leading: association of movement synchrony and depression severity.

Objective: Depression negatively affects interpersonal functioning and influences nonverbal behavior. Interpersonal theories of depression suggest that depressed individuals engage in behaviors that initially provoke others' support and reassurance, but eventually lead to rejection that may also be expressed nonverbally.

Methods: This study investigated movement synchrony as a nonverbal indicator of support and rejection and its association with depression severity in a sample of depressed and healthy individuals.

Development and evaluation of an online integrative histology module: simple design, low-cost, and improves pathology self-efficacy.

Integration of core concepts is an important aspect of medical curriculum enhancement. Challenges to improving integration include the risk of curtailing the basic sciences in the process and the push to decrease contact hours in medical curricula. Self-paced learning tools can be developed that deliberately relate basic and clinical sciences to aid students in making interdisciplinary connections.

The influence of vocal synchrony on outcome and attachment anxiety/avoidance in treatments of social anxiety disorder.

Research indicates an effect of nonverbal synchrony on the therapeutic relationship and patients' symptom severity within psychotherapy. However, vocal synchrony research is still rare and inconsistent. This study investigates the relationship between vocal synchrony and outcome/attachment dimensions, controlling for therapeutic alliance and movement synchrony.
