Invisible emotional expressions influence social judgments and pupillary responses of both depressed and non-depressed individuals.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
We used filtered low spatial frequency images of facial emotional expressions (angry, fearful, happy, sad, or neutral faces) that were blended with a high-frequency image of the same face but with a neutral facial expression, so as to obtain a “hybrid” face image that “masked” the subjective perception of its emotional expression. Participants were categorized in three groups of participants: healthy ...
Form follows function: pragmatic controlled trials (PCTs) have to answer different questions and require different designs than randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Rising concern for demonstrated real world comparative effectiveness has heightened interest in “pragmatic trials” design. Pragmatic trials investigate whether the efficacy, presumed or found in explanatory trials under ideal conditions, can also be detected under real world conditions, i.e. effectiveness. It is also recognized that ‘real world’ effects which are usually addressed in public health ...

Parent-Endorsed Sex Differences in Toddlers with and Without ASD: Utilizing the M-CHAT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-18)
Sex differences in typical development can provide context for understanding ASD. It has been suggested that ASD could be considered an extreme expression of normal male, compared to female, phenotypic profiles. In this paper, sex-specific M-CHAT scores from N=53,728 18-month old toddlers, including n=185 (32 females) receiving an ASD diagnosis, were examined. Results suggest a nuanced view of the ...
Predictors of Response to Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With High-Intensity Face-to-Face Therapist Guidance for Depression: A Bayesian Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-06)

However, ICBT is not suitable for all depressed patients and there is a considerable level of nonresponse. Research on predictors and moderators of outcome in ICBT is inconclusive.
Objective: This paper explored predictors of response to an intervention combining the ...
