Research suggests that cognitive processing therapy (CPT) may be a particularly well-suited intervention for trauma survivors who endorse self-blame; however, no study has examined the impact of self-blame on response to CPT. Accordingly, the current study compared response to CPT between two groups of veterans seeking residential treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In one group, participants endorsed low self-blame at pretreatment (n = 133) and in the other group, participants endorsed high self-blame (n = 133). Results from multilevel modeling analysis suggest that both groups experienced significant reductions in PTSD symptoms as measured by the PTSD Checklist, B = -1.58, SE = 0.11; 95% CI [-1.78, -1.37]; t(1654) = -14.97, p < .001. After controlling for pretreatment symptom severity and additional covariates, there was no difference in treatment response between the low- and high-self-blame groups, Time × Self-blame interaction: B = 0.18, SE = 0.12; 95% CI = [-0.06, 0.42]; t(1646) = 1.49, p = .138. This suggests that CPT is an effective treatment for individuals exposed to trauma, regardless of level of self-blame.

Background: Anchoring in the socio-ecological framework and the differential impact theory, the present study pioneered to explore the differential network structures of multilevel risk and protective factors that influence depression among Chinese urban and rural adolescents.

Results: Central risk and protective factors in both groups included psychological flexibility, which bridged intrapersonal, interpersonal and social resources, along with social support, social capital, rumination, catastrophizing, and self-blame.

Article Synopsis
- ADHD is a common disorder that starts in childhood and can continue into adulthood, potentially affecting emotional regulation and leading to behaviors like social media addiction.
- A study involving 96 young adults found that ADHD symptoms, particularly attention deficits and hyperactivity/impulsivity, are positively linked to social media addiction, with certain emotional regulation strategies playing a role.
- Specifically, blaming others was identified as a significant factor that mediates the relationship between attention deficit symptoms and social media addiction, suggesting that improving coping strategies and self-awareness could benefit those with ADHD.
