Jan. 22 — Professor publishes studies
Philippe Goldin, a clinical psychologist, cognitive neuroscientist and associate professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, recently published two articles. The first paper, “Feasibility of a Therapist-Supported, Mobile-Phone-Delivered Online Intervention for Depression: Longitudinal Observational Study,” was published online Jan. 22 in the eHealth Journal of Medical Internet Research Formative Research. This study examined the feasibility of a newly developed mobile application to support people who are depressed. The data suggest that the intervention significantly reduced depression symptoms. Furthermore, the amount of daily practice and group-chat use during the intervention predicted increased reduction of depression symptoms. The second paper, “Acceptance vs. Reappraisal: Behavioral, Autonomic and Neural Effects,” was published Jan. 17 on the journal website, Cognitive, Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience.

Findings suggest that both strategies proved to be effective in reducing negative emotions in response to negative self-beliefs.
