Self-efficacy is a key construct in behavioral science affecting mental health and psychopathology. Here, we expand on previously demonstrated between-persons self-efficacy effects. We prompted 66 patients five times daily for 14 days before starting cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide avoidance, hope, and perceived psychophysiological-arousal ratings.

We employed ecological momentary assessment and intervention through ReApp, a mobile app designed to train and promote PCR. We analyzed data from the intervention group of a randomized controlled trial with a total of 100 participants who used ReApp for three weeks.

- A digital self-efficacy training program was developed to help university students recall personal successes to improve mental health outcomes.
- In a study involving 93 students with high stress, those who completed the training reported lower levels of hopelessness and anxiety compared to a control group.
- The training was linked to increased self-efficacy and showed promising results, but more research is needed to confirm its long-term benefits and potential use in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- This study used machine learning to classify subtypes of schizophrenia by analyzing brain images from over 4,000 patients and healthy individuals through international collaboration.* -
- Researchers identified two neurostructural subgroups: one with predominant cortical loss and enlarged striatum, and another with significant subcortical loss in areas like the hippocampus and striatum.* -
- The findings suggest this new imaging-based classification could redefine schizophrenia based on biological similarities, enhancing our understanding and treatment of the disorder.*
