Physical activity interventions for refugee and migrant populations are effective.

Social and several other forms of comparison inform us who we are. But how? Here I propose a framework that takes into account relevant aspects of comparison processes and their interdependence. #ComparativeThinking journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

Hundreds of studies with thousands of participants demonstrate that social isolation, living alone and #loneliness are significantly associated with both physical and mental health problems. How can we become more socially connected? bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/3/e…

In this recent meta-analysis of 136 RCTs with 8978 patients with #PTSD we conclude that psychological interventions for PTSD are largely effective irrespective of study quality. doi.org/10.1017/S00332…

Happy to share our latest paper on comparing mental health symptoms in war survivors who fled versus stayed in the area of conflict with Jens Hellmann and Nexh Morina. Thanks for this great collaboration! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Meta-analysis of virtual reality exposure therapy for social anxiety disorder dlvr.it/RzwqG9

Unfair Cambridge U. Press. Our agreement with CUP reads “publish your article gold OA at no cost to you”. Following acceptance of a letter to the editor in Psychol Medicine, I chose “gold OA”. Now they want me to pay 2.433 gbp. Their reasoning: the article type is not eligible

Any thoughts on this Cambridge University Press? #openaccess

Our meta-analysis suggests that 227 and 199 million adult war-survivors suffer from #PTSD & #depression, respectively. This indicates that the #WHO has underestimated the global prevalence of both disorders.

Congratulations @HoppenDr. So well-deserved!

Somatic symptoms are common among Syrian refugees. But can the PHQ-15 be used to assess somatic symptoms in refugees as routinely done in applied research? Find out in our new open-access paper in Assessment with Jens Hellmann and Nexh Morina 🥳 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Does therapist profession/qualifications affect efficacy of TF-CBT #CBTworks for child & adolescent #PTSD? Systematic review & meta-analysis now out - work by Lauren Grainger, Zoe Thompson, Nexh Morina, @HoppenDr onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… #OpenAccess

This recent systematic review and meta-analysis first authored by Ahlke Kip yielded that trauma-related guilt plays a significant role in PTSD.

In this joint study with Pascal Schlechter & Jens Hellmann we introduce a new measure of the discrepancy between the actual & ideal (& ought) self & conclude: self-discrepancy is related to lower well-being; this is then moderated by an avoidant affective style. Great work, Pascal!

56 RCTs with 4230 patients with PTSD suggest that truama-focused psychotherapy is associated with decreased risk of deterioration relative to passive and active control conditions. Another relevant meta-analysis headed by @HoppenDr and assisted by Anna Lindemann and myself.

In this experiment of ours, perceptual matching performance was lower for the past self than for both the present self and a stranger. Dr. Julia Englert, Karola von Lampe & Nexh Morina

Comparisons are ubiquitous in everyday life. However, we lack a scale that adequately captures multi-standard comparisons. To fill this gap, Nexh Morina, Peter McCarthy, @meyerthomasio, and I present the Comparison Standards Scale for Appearance:link.springer.com/article/10.100…
