This randomized waitlist-controlled study tested the efficacy of the iSMEsH online anti-stigma intervention targeting German general practitioners (GPs) and medical students. The program aimed to reduce stigmatizing attitudes toward men with EDs and improve knowledge and self-efficacy in managing ED symptoms.Method A total of 292 participants (130 GPs, 162 medical students) were randomly assigned to immediate intervention or waitlist control. The intervention consisted of six video-based, on-demand modules co-developed with men who have lived experience of an ED, combining education and contact-based strategies. Outcomes included cognitive stigma (knowledge), affective stigma (biased attitudes), and behavioral stigma (treatment self-efficacy), assessed at three timepoints.Results The iSMEsH anti-stigma intervention significantly increased knowledge of male-specific ED presentations and enhanced treatment self-efficacy in both GP and medical student populations. Effects on affective stigma were less consistent.Discussion Findings support the efficacy of the iSMEsH anti-stigma intervention in improving knowledge and treatment self-efficacy regarding EDs in men among healthcare professionals. Effects on affective stigma were limited and may require longer follow-up periods to be comprehensively captured. The intervention shows promise as a scalable tool to reduce stigma and improve care for men with EDs.Trial Registration On July 1, 2024 (#181,415; https://aspredicted.org/tzds-h5yq.pdf) and a study protocol is published under Lehe et al.

Previous studies linked different weight gain profiles to treatment outcomes, but there is currently no consensus on profile shapes and numbers. We argue that heterogeneity stems from temporal distortions (\"warping\") in weight gain, and that similar weight improvements can stretch over different time periods. We thus favor a novel non-parametric solution that accounts for warping to identify weight trajectories. Method: Time series clustering with dynamic time warping (DTW) was used to identify weight change trajectories among N = 518 patients with AN during inpatient treatment. Within-person body-mass-index gain (triangle BMI) served as our primary dependent variable to identify clusters. We characterized clusters based on admission psychopathology scores, and analyzed associations of cluster affiliation with changes in clinical outcomes between admission and discharge using linear and logistic models. Results: We identified four distinct clusters, with n = 76 patients showing initial weight gain (Cluster 1), n = 329 showing continuous weight gain (Cluster 2), n = 70 showing initial weight loss and recovery (Cluster 3), and n = 43 showing weight loss (Cluster 4). The four clusters differed in terms of admission BMI, psychopathology scores, and days spent in treatment, and cluster assignment predicted treatment outcomes. Conclusion: Using one of the largest hitherto examined samples for weight gain profile analysis, the novel DTW-based approach provided an overall more elaborated set of outcome-predictive profiles compared to previous studies, which could help inform individualized treatment strategies and allocate therapeutic resources efficiently.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Wiley","issue":"1","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:38:22Z","date_updated":"2026-04-10T11:50:39Z","intvolume":" 59","pmid":"1","user_id":"83778","doi":"10.1002/eat.24573","volume":59,"type":"scientific_journal_article"},{"status":"public","place":"Dordrecht [u.a.] ","citation":{"short":"F.

We hypothesized (a) that differences in breastfeeding practices may explain sociodemographic disparities in children’s overweight and obesity, and (b) that breastfeeding practices may also explain sociodemographic disparities in children’s diet quality. Data from N = 7180 children aged 2 to 6 years from NHANES (2005–2018) were classified based on weight status (normal weight, overweight, obesity, severe obesity), breastfeeding, and in terms of healthy eating (using the Healthy Eating Index). We used multinomial logistic and linear regressions to determine pathways between sociodemographic variables, breastfeeding, and weight status, as well as between sociodemographic and breastfeeding variables and healthy eating scores. Sociodemographic factors were significantly associated with childhood weight status, breastfeeding history, and healthy eating. Weight status increased with child male gender, Mexican American and Other Hispanic ethnicity, lower education, lower income, and single marital status; breastfeeding decreased with child age, Non-Hispanic Black ethnicity, lower education, and single marital status, but increased with Mexican American ethnicity and higher income. A mediation analysis showed indirect pathways from sociodemographic variables to weight status via breastfeeding duration. Similar patterns emerged for healthy eating. The results indicate that breastfeeding is associated with modestly lower odds of severe obesity and improved diet scores in early childhood, even after accounting for socioeconomic and demographic differences. Breastfeeding appears to be a meaningful early-life factor with a significant impact on weight and healthy dietary outcomes.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Springer ","date_created":"2026-05-04T09:15:21Z","title":"Can breastfeeding practices explain sociodemographic disparities in childhood obesity and healthy eating?

We focused on women, as existing research suggests that EDs disproportionately affect women. Within this sample, we took into account the intersections of different socio-demographic variables. Additionally, we assessed body dissatisfaction and subjective health status (S-HS) as self-reported measures to gain a more comprehensive understanding of ED risk.\r\nMethod\r\nWe conducted a cluster analysis (k-means) using ten demographic variables (e.g., sexual orientation, migration history, presence of disabilities), which revealed three distinct participant clusters. Then, we applied two multiple logistic regression models using cluster membership, body dissatisfaction related to fat (BD-F) and muscularity (BD-M), and S-HS as determinants, with the outcome being ED risk measured using two scales (EAT-8; EDE-Q).\r\nResults\r\nCluster Three – notably characterized by queer women with a migration history and identification as part of an ethnic minority - showed a consistently higher ED risk. In contrast, Cluster One, which included a higher proportion of older individuals as well as individuals with disabilities, or caregiving responsibilities, showed the lowest risk for ED. In Cluster Two an increased risk for EDs was observed in the EAT-8, but not in the EDE-Q, suggesting measurement-specific differences. BD-F and BD-M were significantly associated with ED risk. BD-F proved to be the factor with the strongest influence.\r\nConclusions\r\nWe emphasize the importance of considering person-centered socio-demographic positions and different forms of body dissatisfaction to assess the risk of ED.","lang":"eng"}]},{"publication_status":"published","article_type":"review","citation":{"ama":"Lehe MS, Reiß P, Jürgensen VC, Halbeisen G, Paslakis G.

The World Health Organization emphasizes the importance of addressing such factors to reduce MH disparities. This scoping review aims to assess the landscape of research on social determinants of MH in Germany, focusing on frequently studied social determinants, MH outcomes, and underlying theoretical frameworks and explanatory mechanisms, particularly the consideration of the framework of intersectionality.\r\nMethods\r\n\r\nFollowing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science. Studies that specifically addressed social determinants of MH in Germany were targeted, and data were charted to map key research trends.\r\nResults\r\n\r\nA total of 73 studies were included in the data analysis and synthesis, and outcomes were grouped into eight social determinants of health domains. The most frequently examined domains were demographics (in 96.0% of included studies), interpersonal/community/cultural influences (89.3%), economic stability (72.0%), and education (57.3%). Less frequently addressed domains included neighborhood and built environment (25.3%), environmental events (16.0%), other health-related determinants (16.0%), and healthcare access and quality (5.3%). We observed substantial heterogeneity within and between domains. MH outcomes were more often studied in terms of mental illness than positively defined MH, with depression and anxiety being the most frequently assessed outcomes. Theoretical frameworks such as the biopsychosocial model, social-ecological perspectives, and resilience theory were commonly applied, while intersectionality was rarely explicitly analyzed.\r\nDiscussion\r\n\r\nThis scoping review delineates the research landscape on social determinants of MH in Germany. The findings point towards a predominant focus on individual-level determinants, with comparatively limited attention to systemic and structural factors. Moreover, an emphasis on mental illness rather than MH, alongside substantial heterogeneity in measured constructs, may constrain the understanding of MH disparities. These gaps highlight the need for more comprehensive, intersectional approaches that account for the diversity of individuals, contexts, and outcomes."}],"publisher":"BioMed Central","article_number":"145","intvolume":" 25","date_updated":"2026-06-09T06:42:46Z","quality_controlled":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article","doi":"10.1186/s12939-026-02877-0","volume":25,"user_id":"83781"},{"external_id":{"isi":["001572823200001"],"pmid":["40963138"]},"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","status":"public","citation":{"ama":"Lehe M, Halbeisen G, Juergensen V, Sabel L, Steins-Loeber S, Paslakis G.

Stigma related to EDs in men may impede help-seeking, particularly for symptoms that deviate from traditional masculine ideals. This study investigates whether stigma-related perceptions of EDs in men specifically moderate the association between disordered eating symptoms and help-seeking intentions in men, i.e., whether there is a gender-specific component of ED stigma.MethodsIn a cross-sectional survey, n = 242 men and n = 249 women completed questionnaires on various disordered eating symptoms (\"traditional\" thinness-oriented, muscularity-oriented, orthorexic, and avoidant/restrictive eating behaviors), stigma-related perceptions of EDs in men, and help-seeking intentions. Moderator analyses were conducted by gender to explore interactions between symptom severity and stigma in predicting help-seeking intentions.ResultsHelp-seeking intentions increased with the severity of disordered eating symptoms in both men and women, except for avoidant/restrictive eating behavior in both genders and muscularity-oriented symptoms in men. Stigma-related perceptions of EDs in men moderated the association between symptoms and help-seeking intentions in men, which was exclusively the case for \"feminized\" ED symptoms (i.e., thinness and weight concerns). No moderation effects were observed for other symptom domains or among women.ConclusionsResults support the notion of a gender-specific role of stigma in men's help-seeking behaviors for EDs. Such stigma, which seems to be related to \"feminized\" ED symptoms, may contribute to men's reluctance to seek help for EDs. These findings emphasize the need for interventions tailored to reduce stigma, particularly regarding men's experiences of EDs, to support equal access to healthcare.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"BioMed Central","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:35:49Z","issue":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-10T10:52:17Z","extern":"1","intvolume":" 13","pmid":"1","user_id":"83778","volume":13,"quality_controlled":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article"},{"title":"Reducing the urge to be physically active in patients with anorexia nervosa through virtual reality: protocol for a randomised-controlled feasibility trial","author":[{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"last_name":"Timmesfeld","first_name":"N","full_name":"Timmesfeld, N"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, G","last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"G"}],"year":"2025","publication":"BMJ Open","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Introduction Weight restoration is a primary goal in anorexia nervosa (AN) treatment.

This trial will evaluate the feasibility of a virtual reality (VR)-based intervention as an add-on treatment to psychotherapy to improve activity urges and, consequently, initial treatment responses on core outcomes as targeted per AN treatment guidelines.Methods and analysis This single-centre feasibility trial adopts the single-blind, two-arm design and outcome measures of an intended full-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) in order to establish that all necessary trial components work together as intended. It will evaluate feasibility as the primary endpoint and compare changes in ratings of the urge to be active between patients with AN randomly assigned to receiving VR intervention sessions and patients with AN in a control procedure. The feasibility of the full-scale RCT will depend on whether patients (1) will evaluate the experience as acceptable, (2) tolerate VR side effects and (3) will adhere to the intended intervention schedule. We define a set of three-tiered, formal progression criteria and employ a 'traffic light system' demarcating go (green), amend (amber) and stop (red) signals for advancing to the full-scale RCT.Ethics and dissemination The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Ruhr University Bochum's Medical Faculty at Campus East-Westphalia (AZ 2024-1296, 9 December 2024).

This stigmatization contributes to reduced help-seeking and recognition of ED symptoms in men. To address this, targeted interventions for healthcare professionals are needed. The iSMEsH intervention aims to sensitize general practitioners (GPs) in Germany to EDs in men, impart relevant knowledge and skills, and counter the perception of EDs as \"women's diseases\".Methods We will evaluate the iSMEsH intervention regarding its effects on biased attitudes, knowledge, and self-efficacy among GPs. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN -> qual) will be applied in three steps: (1) pre-implementation focus groups and a panel discussion with individuals with lived ED experience and GPs to design the intervention, (2) conduction of a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of the online training trial with GPs and medical students, and (3) post-implementation qualitative interviews with GPs. Quantitative data (step 2) will be analyzed using mixed-measures ANOVAs and contrast analyses (per-protocol) as well as corresponding 2 x 3 linear mixed models with fixed and random effects (intention-to-treat). Qualitative data from step 3 will be analyzed using thematic analysis as outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). Ethical approval was granted by the Ruhr-University Bochum Ethics Committee (AZ 2023-1106). Participants will provide written or digital informed consent.Discussion The intervention seeks to reduce stigma against men with EDs in primary care by improving GPs' and medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Strengths include the comprehensive mixed-methods approach and involvement of people with lived experience. Limitations are reliance on self-report and short-/intermediate-term outcomes.

The term DDI encompasses all thoughts and emotions that organ recipients associate with the donor or the donated organ. However, empirical knowledge of DDI remains limited. This quantitative survey involving 407 participants represents the first and largest study to quantitatively examine DDI in patients after heart transplantation (HTX). The results revealed a very high prevalence of DDI (91%), with occurrences reported intermittently and often clustered around the time of transplantation, both before and after HTX. Psychological distress predicted the occurrence of DDI before and after HTX and almost all emotions experienced and reported pre-HTX were associated with higher odds of pre-HTX DDI, suggesting it may be a concurrent phenomenon of overall emotional activation. Due to the involvement of emotions associated with uncertainty and low personal control, along with high situational control, DDI may be a part of coping. Some reported avoiding DDI suggesting that, sometimes, they might also represent a stressor. Future studies should further investigate the effects of DDI, including its impact on transplant outcome.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Nature Publishing Group UK","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Scientific Reports","year":"2025","author":[{"full_name":"Laskowski, NM","first_name":"NM","last_name":"Laskowski"},{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"full_name":"Wahlers, L","last_name":"Wahlers","first_name":"L"},{"full_name":"Tigges-Limmer, K","first_name":"K","last_name":"Tigges-Limmer"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, G","first_name":"G","last_name":"Paslakis"}],"title":"A large cross-sectional study on the prevalence and predictors of donor and donation images in patients after heart transplantation","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","volume":15,"doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-07317-7","user_id":"83778","pmid":"1","intvolume":" 15","extern":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-10T10:23:20Z","citation":{"havard":"N.

However, gender minorities are often not included, which affects the generalizability and equity of healthcare outcomes. Inclusive research must consider the diversity of sex and gender to eliminate inequalities and improve health outcomes.Methods A two-stage expert survey was conducted using a self-developed questionnaire in which the constructs of sex, gender, and gender expression were considered. Experts rated the importance and practicality of assessing these concepts in clinical trials and evaluated terms for suitability and comprehension. In addition, existing definitions were refined. Consensus was defined as 70% agreement or disagreement.Results 14 out of 17 participating experts agreed on the importance to independently assess sex assigned at birth, and 9 out of 16 emphasized this for gender identity in clinical trials. Sex should be assessed with \"Please specify your sex assigned at birth\" and the answer categories \"female\", \"male\", \"intersex\". Gender identity should be assessed with \"I identify as & mldr;\" and the answer categories \"woman\", \"man\", \"nonbinary\", \"trans woman\", \"trans man\", \"genderqueer\", \"genderfluid\", \"agender\", \"two spirit\". Assessment of gender expression depends on the research question and may not be relevant for every study.Discussion Our findings emphasize inclusivity by providing multiple gender options and improve data accuracy by allowing individuals to accurately report their gender identity. The results emphasize the importance of distinguishing between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and gender expression in research. This ensures that gender diversity is accurately represented and considered, improving the relevance and inclusivity of clinical trials.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Frontiers","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:35:54Z","year":"2025","publication":"Frontiers in Psychiatry","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"title":"An expert perspective on diversity-oriented standards for assessing sex and gender in clinical research","author":[{"last_name":"Hambruch","first_name":"Hannah R","full_name":"Hambruch, Hannah R"},{"full_name":"Laskowski, Nora M.","first_name":"Nora M.","last_name":"Laskowski"},{"last_name":"Juster","first_name":"Robert-Paul","full_name":"Juster, Robert-Paul"},{"last_name":"Halbeisen","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"Georgios"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article","user_id":"83778","volume":15,"doi":"10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1448487","intvolume":" 15","pmid":"1","article_number":"1448487","date_updated":"2026-04-10T09:46:51Z","extern":"1","status":"public","citation":{"ieee":"H.

Boys and men are increasingly affected and may account for a fourth of clinical cases. Current evidence suggests that symptoms and health care needs differ between men and women (e.g., related to muscularity concerns), and that men delay seeking treatment due to the traditional understanding of eating disorders as \"women's disease\". Treatment guidelines recommend psychotherapy as first-line intervention, but potential gender differences in treatment responses have not been considered. This is due to the lack of systematic evaluations of gender differences related to treatment outcomes for feeding and eating disorders.MethodsThis systematic review with Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis (IPDMA) will compare the effects of psychotherapeutic interventions for feeding and eating disorders between gender groups. The focus of the analysis is on eating disorders-related psychopathology. For this purpose, randomized-controlled clinical studies will be identified in scientific databases and examined for their methodological quality. Primary investigators will be contacted to deliver anonymized data of their studies. Study results will then be summarized and compared in a two-staged IPDMA. Gender groups will be compared regarding different types of interventions and further relevant intervention characteristics, as identified by men with lived experience.DiscussionThe results will help to formulate treatment recommendations and identify the treatment contexts that are associated with unfavorable outcomes related to patient gender.

A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 304 adult women. Participants completed measures assessing gender role orientation, body ideals, disordered eating symptoms, and muscle dysmorphic symptoms. Mediation analyses were performed. Self-reported Masculinity was associated with stronger muscularity ideals, while Femininity predicted a weaker drive for muscularity. The mediation analysis showed that muscularity ideals completely mediated the relationship between self-perceived Masculinity or Femininity and disordered eating symptoms. The study highlights the importance of considering Gender Roles and muscularity ideals when examining the development of body image concerns and disordered eating behaviors. The findings suggest that promoting flexible gender role perceptions could be an effective focus for public health interventions aimed at preventing and reducing disordered eating.

We expanded on previous research by exploring a broader range of ED symptoms, including orthorexia (ON) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Using network analysis, we analysed data from 308 adult women (18 years or older) who completed muscularity, disordered eating, and sociodemographic assessments. Our findings revealed five interconnected symptom communities reflecting traditional ED symptoms, such as eating concerns and shape and weight overvaluation. Notably, muscularity concerns emerged as a distinct community, emphasising their relevance to ED symptoms in women. Additionally, we identified selective eating tendencies and compulsive healthy eating. Highly central symptoms were rumination about healthy eating, fear and guilt over unhealthy eating, body‐related embarrassment, and muscularity concerns (wishing to be heavier, wishing for heavier arms). These results suggest that muscularity concerns could constitute a uniquely identifiable and central diagnostic target for body image concerns and disordered eating in women.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Wiley","date_updated":"2026-03-27T08:25:59Z","intvolume":" 33","doi":"10.1002/erv.3192","volume":33,"user_id":"83781","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"published","citation":{"havard":"V.

However, the interplay between autistic traits, fat- and muscularity-related BD, and disordered eating remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study examined the relationships between autistic traits, BD, and disordered eating in 298 women. Correlations and mediation analyses, alongside bootstrapping techniques, were used to evaluate relationships between variables. Autistic traits were positively associated with \"traditional\" disordered eating symptoms including food avoidance and selective eating as well as appearance-related aspects of muscle dysmorphia. Autistic traits were positively associated with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) symptoms. BD was elevated with increasing autistic traits, only in relation to body fat, not muscularity. Only body fat-related BD (BD-F), but not muscularity-related BD (BD-M) mediated the effect of autistic traits on disordered eating symptoms, predicting increases in both ED and body dysmorphic symptoms, as well as reductions in ARFID symptoms. Our findings suggest that women with autistic traits may be more susceptible to internalizing socially perpetuated body ideals or to social feedback towards their appearance, as only stereotypically \"female-typed\" BD-F, but not \"male-typed\" dissatisfaction with muscularity (BD-M) mediated the link between autistic traits and disordered eating.

Based on the idea that persistent stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, i.e., stigma against men with EDs, could impede help-seeking behaviors, the present study investigated whether stigma-related perceptions in men are associated with reduced help-seeking intentions for a broad range of disordered eating symptoms.MethodsN = 132 adult men participated in a cross-sectional online survey and completed questionnaires on ED psychopathology, muscle dysmorphia, orthorexic eating, stigma-related perceptions of EDs in men, and help-seeking intentions.ResultsModerator analyses showed that higher stigma-related perceptions were associated with reduced help-seeking intentions in response to increased ED symptom severity. However, this was only the case for traditionally \"feminized\" ED symptoms (related to thin-body ideals), but not for help-seeking with regard to muscularity-oriented, orthorexic, or avoidant/restrictive disordered eating.ConclusionsStigma may reduce help-seeking intentions with regard to \"feminized\" ED symptoms. The present findings suggest that perceptions of EDs as \"women's diseases\" were associated with reduced help-seeking in men.

Methods: We investigated, using patient records, whether young men and young women with AN differed in terms of early treatment response (defined as weight change and variability within the first 14 days) and whether early treatment responses predicted treatment outcomes similarly across genders. Results: Weight changes predicted patient discharge weight across all gender groups. Weight variability predicted higher disordered eating psychopathology and higher body image insecurities at discharge. Gender differences emerged only for weight gain, which was more pronounced for young men, and gender modulated the effects of weight gain and variability on general psychopathology outcomes.

This study investigated the effect on current body dissatisfaction levels of a newly developed evaluative conditioning procedure that paired self-similar and self-dissimilar images of bodies with positive and neutral affective images, respectively. We hypothesized that learning the contingency that self-similar bodies predict positive affectivity is one process that could aid in explaining how these procedures function.\r\nMethods\r\nAdult women without disordered eating pathology participated in an online experiment with random assignment to an intervention or a control condition. All participants initially rated body images in self-similarity and were subsequently asked to categorize positive and neutral images by valence as quickly and accurately as possible. In the intervention condition, self-similar bodies systematically preceded positive images, and self-dissimilar images preceded neutral images, creating a similar body → positive contingency. Pairings in the control condition were unsystematic such that no contingency was present. We measured categorization latencies and accuracies to infer contingency learning as well as current body dissatisfaction immediately before and after exposure to the pairings. All participants further completed measures of trait body image concerns and disordered eating psychopathology at baseline, which we examined as moderators of an expected relation between condition assignment, contingency learning, and body dissatisfaction improvements.\r\nResults\r\nWe analyzed data from N = 173 women fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Moderated mediation analyses showed that assignment to the intervention (vs. control) condition predicted increased similar body → positive contingency learning, which in turn predicted improved body dissatisfaction post-intervention, but only among women with higher pre-existing trait body image concerns or disordered eating levels.\r\nConclusions\r\nThe findings point toward the relevancy of further exploring the utility of pairing procedures. Similar body → positive contingency learning predicted improved body dissatisfaction in individuals with normatively high body image concerns, which suggests pairing procedures could help inform future research on reducing body dissatisfaction.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"BioMed Central","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2050-2974"]},"keyword":["Evaluative conditioning","Body image","Eating disorders","Contingency learning","Psychotherapy","Pairing procedures"],"_id":"13576","external_id":{"pmid":["38268007"],"isi":["001148311200002"]},"isi":"1","publication_status":"published","citation":{"chicago":"Dumstorf, Katharina, Georg Halbeisen, and Georgios Paslakis. “How Evaluative Pairings Improve Body Dissatisfaction in Adult Women: Evidence from a Randomized-Controlled Online Study.” Journal of Eating Disorders 12, no. 1 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1186/s40337-024-00975-4.","chicago-de":"Dumstorf, Katharina, Georg Halbeisen und Georgios Paslakis. 2024.

We hypothesized that increased impression updating could stem from reduced attitude contextualization, i.e., a process in which impression-disconfirming information is linked to contextual cues.\r\nMethods\r\nIndividuals diagnosed with BPD and controls (recruited online, with unknown diagnostic status) completed an impression formation paradigm. They first learned about the positive or negative behaviors of others in one Context A (e.g., Person 1 is helpful), followed by learning about behaviors of the opposite valence in a second Context B (Person 1 is rude). We also manipulated between participants whether the observed behaviors were directed toward the study participants (self-relevant) or, more generally, at other people (other-relevant). The contexts were marked by differently-colored backgrounds (e.g., yellow vs. blue), to avoid influences of prior knowledge or experiences. After exposure to information in both contexts, participants rated their impressions of the persons in Context A, Context B, and, crucially, a previously unknown Context C (white background). We examined whether the initial or an updated impression (re-)emerged in Context C.\r\nResults\r\nInitial impressions remained stable and dominated the ratings of controls across contexts A, B, and C for both self-relevant and other-relevant behaviors, consistent with contextualizing impression-disconfirming information. As expected, however, individuals with BPD only showed updated impression ratings in Context C for self-relevant behaviors, consistent with the assumed reduced tendency to contextualize impression-disconfirming self-relevant information. Further exploratory analyses suggest that more severe BPD symptoms predicted more pronounced impression updating in the self-relevant condition.\r\nConclusions\r\nThe findings help to illuminate the mechanisms underlying interpersonal problems in individuals with BPD. People with BPD are not just more inclined to discard positive first impressions but to re-evaluate disliked others when they behave positively, contributing to the volatility of interactions with others. Contextualization has known and modifiable antecedents, and the study may thus provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Future studies will need to replicate the findings with specified controls.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"BioMed Central","issue":"1","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:36:06Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2051-6673"]},"_id":"13577","keyword":["Borderline personality disorder","Interpersonal problems","Social cognition","Belief updating","Renewal","Impression formation","Attitudes","Psychotherapy"],"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","external_id":{"isi":["001271707800001"],"pmid":["39026374"]},"status":"public","place":"London","citation":{"short":"K.

Although it is true that more women than men suffer from all types of eating disorder, pertinent reviews have clearly shown that they do indeed occur in men, and that the available evidence on the matter is limited. The stigmatization of men with eating disorders makes it harder for these men, and for the relevant professionals, to recognize the symptoms and to seek or provide help.\r\n\r\nMethods: This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed on the epidemiological, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of eating disorders in men.\r\n\r\nResults: Current estimated lifetime prevalences in men are 0.2% for anorexia nervosa, 0.6% for bulimia nervosa, and 1% for binge-eating disorder; the corresponding figures for women are 1.4%, 1.9%, and 2.8%. Men and women may display different manifestations. Women are thought to be mainly seeking a slim figure and weight reduction; men, a muscular build. The established German-language screening and diagnostic tools, however, do not cover the types of symptoms that are more common in men. Little is known about whether treatment yields comparable results in men and women.\r\n\r\nConclusion: It is important to combat the stigmatization of men with eating disorders and to remove the obstacles to their appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The current methods of screening and diagnosis need to be adapted to take account of the special aspects of abnormal eating behavior in men. It remains unclear whether and how the disorder-specific treatment of these conditions in men should differ from their treatment in women."}],"date_created":"2026-03-25T13:36:13Z","issue":"3","intvolume":" 121","pmid":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-01T07:53:57Z","extern":"1","quality_controlled":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article","user_id":"83778","doi":"10.3238/arztebl.m2023.0246","volume":121},{"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1879-1379 "],"issn":["0022-3956"]},"keyword":["Evaluative conditioning","Body image","Eating disorders","Contingency learning","Psychotherapy"],"_id":"13616","publication_status":"published","citation":{"van":"Tullius EM, Halbeisen G, Paslakis G.

Activity urges, that is, a motivational state to engage in activity, have been suspected to delay early weight gain, but their prognostic role remains barely explored. Here, we investigated whether acute (state‐like) activity urges at treatment onset would predict within‐person weight gain in patients with AN during the initial 2 weeks of inpatient treatment. Adults with AN from an inpatient unit (N = 53) completed an activity urges measure at treatment onset, and weight changes were monitored for the duration of their treatment. Regression analyses, controlling for admission body mass index and other patient variables (i.e., patient age and AN subtype), found that higher state activity urges were associated with lower initial weight gain. Mediation analyses showed that differences in early weight changes further linked higher activity urges at admission to lower discharge weights. An activity urge cutoff value of 2.76 for distinguishing between cases with optimal and suboptimal initial weight gain is proposed. We discuss potential mechanisms of the link between activity urges and early weight gain and the implications of activity urges as a prognostic factor for improving weight restoration during AN treatment."}],"publisher":"Wiley","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","last_name":"Halbeisen","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"},{"first_name":"Lina","last_name":"Amin","full_name":"Amin, Lina"},{"full_name":"Braks, Karsten","first_name":"Karsten","last_name":"Braks"},{"full_name":"Huber, Thomas J.","first_name":"Thomas J.","last_name":"Huber"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios","first_name":"Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis"}],"title":"Acute Activity Urges Predict Lower Early Weight Gain During Inpatient Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"International Journal of Eating Disorders","year":"2024","volume":57,"doi":"10.1002/eat.24305","user_id":"83781","type":"scientific_journal_article","date_updated":"2026-03-27T08:10:14Z","intvolume":" 57","page":"2452-2460","citation":{"din1505-2-1":"Halbeisen, Georg ; Amin, Lina ; Braks, Karsten ; Huber, Thomas J. ; Paslakis, Georgios: Acute Activity Urges Predict Lower Early Weight Gain During Inpatient Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa.

Here, we developed and validated the State Urge to be Physically Active-Questionnaire (SUPA-Q). MethodsAfter developing and piloting the items, N = 126 patients with EDs (mostly anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa) took part in our mixed-longitudinal validation study with one primary assessment for all patients and a secondary assessment for a subsample of patients. Cronbach's & alpha; and split-half-methods served as measures of consistency and reliability. Correlations with other questionnaires were used to determine convergent and divergent validity, and confirmatory factor analysis was used for investigating factorial validity. We used paired-samples t-tests for repeated assessments to investigate change sensitivity. ResultsWe found the SUPA-Q to be highly consistent, and reliable and to demonstrate convergent, divergent, and factorial validity. The comparison of SUPA-Q scores from repeated assessments within a subsample of patients demonstrated the questionnaire's change sensitivity, Cohen's d = 0.48. Moreover, an increase in SUPA-Q scores was associated with a less positive mood, more anxiety, more body dissatisfaction, more tenseness, less feelings of control, and more stress. DiscussionThe newly developed SUPA-Q may help to accentuate the necessity to evaluate and address the acute urge to engage in physical activity in patients with EDs in clinical practice and ultimately support tailoring treatments to patients' unique symptom patterns.

Qualitative reports indicate that organ recipients develop donor and donation images (DDI)—conceptions of the donor and/or the organ. A deeper understanding of DDI is needed in the care of transplant recipients. To present the current state of knowledge, we searched for and identified DDI-related publications in PubMed and Scopus. Inclusion criteria were (1) studies addressing transplant recipients, and (2) English or German language. Twenty-one studies of individuals with transplanted hearts, lungs, or kidneys were included in this scoping review. Prevalence for DDI ranged from 6% to 52.3%. DDI occurs both before and after transplantation and includes ideas about the donor as well as whether and how the recipient’s personality may be altered by the transplanted organ. Some transplant recipients did indeed report personality changes following transplantation due to the adoption of assumed donor characteristics. One study showed a positive association between the presence of DDI and anxiety scores and one described a coping effect. DDI is understudied and should be systematically assessed to improve care for the vulnerable group of individuals undergoing organ transplantation. Current research gaps and future directions are discussed."}],"publisher":"MDPI","pmid":"1","article_number":"952","intvolume":" 12","date_updated":"2026-03-27T09:54:09Z","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.3390/jcm12030952","volume":12,"user_id":"85780"},{"date_updated":"2026-03-27T14:06:18Z","intvolume":" 14","article_number":"1276078","pmid":"1","user_id":"83781","volume":14,"doi":"10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1276078","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","title":"A global perspective on diversity in eating disorders","author":[{"first_name":"Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis","full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios"},{"last_name":"Dimitropoulos","first_name":"Gina","full_name":"Dimitropoulos, Gina"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","last_name":"Halbeisen","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"}],"publication":"Frontiers in Psychiatry","year":"2023","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"publisher":"Frontiers Research Foundation","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:36:14Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1664-0640"]},"_id":"13586","keyword":["anorexia nervosa","bulimia nervosa","binge-eating disorder","social diversity","gender bias","ethnic bias"],"external_id":{"isi":["001067047300001"],"pmid":["37711418"]},"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","status":"public","place":"Lausanne","citation":{"apa":"Paslakis, G., Dimitropoulos, G., & Halbeisen, G.

This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the German EDE-Q in a clinical group of adult men with diagnosed ED.\r\nMethods\r\nED symptoms were assessed using the validated German version of the EDE-Q. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using principal-axis factoring based on polychoric correlations was conducted for the full sample (N = 188) using Varimax-Rotation with Kaiser-Normalization.\r\nResults\r\nHorn’s parallel analysis suggested a five-factor solution with an explained variance of 68%. The EFA factors were labeled “Restraint” (items 1, 3–6), “Body Dissatisfaction” (items 25–28), “Weight Concern” (items 10–12, 20), “Preoccupation” (items 7 and 8), and “Importance” (items 22 and 23). Items 2, 9, 19, 21, and 24 were excluded due to low communalities.\r\nConclusions\r\nFactors associated with body concerns and body dissatisfaction in adult men with ED are not fully represented in the EDE-Q. This could be due to differences in body ideals in men, e.g., the underestimation of the role of concerns about musculature. Consequently, it may be useful to apply the 17-item five-factor structure of the EDE-Q presented here to adult men with diagnosed ED."}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Journal of Eating Disorders","year":"2023","author":[{"first_name":"Nora M.","last_name":"Laskowski","full_name":"Laskowski, Nora M."},{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"last_name":"Braks","first_name":"Karsten","full_name":"Braks, Karsten"},{"first_name":"Thomas J.J.","last_name":"Huber","full_name":"Huber, Thomas J.J."},{"full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios","last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"Georgios"}],"title":"Factor structure of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in adult men with eating disorders","keyword":["Eating disorders","Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire","EDE-Q","Factor analysis","Men’s health","Body dissatisfaction","Muscularity"],"_id":"13607","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2050-2974"]},"citation":{"chicago":"Laskowski, Nora M., Georg Halbeisen, Karsten Braks, Thomas J.J.

However, LGBTQI+-focused healthcare education targets remain elusive, as surveys reveal considerable variability across national student populations. To generate empirical data and vocalize recommendations for medical education, we conducted the first nationwide online survey among 670 German medical students from 33 universities. Overall, most respondents reported low confidence regarding their medical training preparing them for LGBTQI+ patients, stated that LGBTQI+ themes were not covered during training, and agreed that the inclusion of such themes is urgently needed. In addition, we found gender and LGBTQI+ community member status to be key variables. Men scored lower in knowledge than women, while community members scored higher than non-community members. Similarly, community members reported higher comfort levels. Non-community men showed the highest levels of prejudice and efficacy beliefs, while at the same time had the lowest scores in contacts and the perceived importance of LGBTQI+-related teaching. Keeping subgroup differences in mind, we recommend that educational training should include LGBTQI+ healthcare aspects and address self-efficacy beliefs in future medical professionals to overcome LGBTQI+ healthcare disparities.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"MDPI","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health","year":"2022","author":[{"first_name":"G","last_name":"Brandt","full_name":"Brandt, G"},{"last_name":"Stobrawe","first_name":"J","full_name":"Stobrawe, J"},{"full_name":"Korte, S","last_name":"Korte","first_name":"S"},{"first_name":"L","last_name":"Prüll","full_name":"Prüll, L"},{"full_name":"Laskowski, NM","last_name":"Laskowski","first_name":"NM"},{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"G","full_name":"Paslakis, G"}],"title":"Medical Students' Perspectives on LGBTQI plus Healthcare and Education in Germany: Results of a Nationwide Online Survey"},{"extern":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-09T12:18:02Z","intvolume":" 13","pmid":"1","user_id":"83778","doi":"10.3389/fpsyt.2022.820043","volume":13,"type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","title":"A Plea for Diversity in Eating Disorders Research","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","last_name":"Halbeisen","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"},{"full_name":"Brandt, G","last_name":"Brandt","first_name":"G"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, G","last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"G"}],"publication":"Frontiers in Psychiatry","year":"2022","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"abstract":[{"text":"Eating disorders (EDs) are often stereotyped as affecting the SWAG, that is, as affecting mostly skinny, White, affluent girls. Over the last decade, however, significant progress has been made toward increasing diversity in ED research. There is consensus that EDs affect individuals of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, with recent studies exploring social determinants of ED etiology, ED presentation, and developing diversity-affirming ED assessments. This article provides a brief summary of current developments related to diversity as a research theme, and proposes different perspectives toward further improving diversity in ED research. Specifically, we argue for exploring the role of diversity in ED treatment settings and outcomes, for pursuing diversity-oriented research pro-actively rather than as a reaction to issues of under-representation, and for integrating diversity across different areas of medical education and trainings in psychotherapy. Limitations with respect to the paucity of research, and the link between diversity as a research theme and ED-related workforce diversity are discussed.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Frontiers","date_created":"2026-03-25T13:36:15Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1664-0640"]},"_id":"13588","external_id":{"pmid":["35250670"],"isi":["000765936600001"]},"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","status":"public","citation":{"short":"G.

The VR adaptation of the TSST circumvents quasi-experimental limitations and thus provides a first, randomized-controlled investigation of the effects of ethnic context on endocrine stress responses. Forty-three men participated in the study, facing either an ingroup (\"White\") or an outgroup (\"Arab\") panel of interviewers. As expected, the TSST-VR produced physiological and subjective stress reactions. However, endocrine stress reactions occurred independent of interviewer ethnicity and could not be predicted based on implicit bias, explicit prejudice, or prejudice-related appearance concerns.

However, the evidence is inconsistent. This study aimed to comprehensively compare OB-BED patients against OB individuals without BED and healthy, normal-weight controls in general psychopathological features, eating-related phenotypes, and early life experiences. (2) Methods: OB-BED patients (n = 37), OB individuals (n = 50), and controls (n = 44) completed a battery of standardized questionnaires. Responses were analyzed using univariate comparisons and dimensionality reduction techniques (linear discriminant analysis, LDA). (3) Results: OB-BED patients showed the highest scores across assessments (e.g., depression, emotional and stress eating, food cravings, food addiction). OB-BED patients did not differ from OB individuals in terms of childhood traumatization or attachment styles. The LDA revealed a two-dimensional solution that distinguished controls from OB and OB-BED in terms of increasing problematic eating behaviors and attitudes, depression, and childhood adversities, as well as OB-BED from OB groups in terms of emotional eating tendencies and self-regulation impairments. (4) Conclusions: Findings support the idea of a shared spectrum of eating-related disorders but also highlight important distinctions relevant to identifying and treating BED in obese patients.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"MDPI","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"publication":"Nutrients","year":"2021","author":[{"last_name":"Sommer","first_name":"LM","full_name":"Sommer, LM"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","last_name":"Halbeisen","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"},{"full_name":"Erim, Y","last_name":"Erim","first_name":"Y"},{"full_name":"Paslakis, G","last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"G"}],"title":"Two of a Kind?

Because altered patterns of evaluations can be linked to the emergence and maintenance of disordered cognitions and behaviors, it has been suggested that pairing procedures may provide a simple yet effective means of complementing more complex intervention approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Here, we summarize recent studies that explored the clinical potential of pairing procedures for improving self-esteem, body satisfaction, and food and consumption preferences. While no study has yet combined pairing procedures with CBT, there are several successful examples of pairing procedures in clinically relevant domains and clinical populations. We discuss potential sources of heterogeneity among findings, provide methodological recommendations, and conclude that pairing procedures may bear clinical potential as an add-on to classical psychotherapy."}],"publisher":"MDPI","author":[{"first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","last_name":"Halbeisen","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"G","full_name":"Paslakis, G"}],"title":"All I Need Is Two: The Clinical Potential of Adding Evaluative Pairing Procedures to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Changing Self-, Body- and Food-Related Evaluations","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2021","publication":"Journal of Clinical Medicine","volume":10,"doi":"10.3390/jcm10204703","user_id":"83778","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","extern":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-09T12:11:15Z","pmid":"1","intvolume":" 10"},{"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-3956"],"eissn":["1879-1379"]},"_id":"13635","external_id":{"pmid":["34530341"],"isi":["000701669500017"]},"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","status":"public","page":"302-308","citation":{"ama":"Krehbiel J, Halbeisen G, Kühn S, Erim Y, Paslakis G.

However, the psychological processes linking negative mood to binge eating behavior have not been sufficiently explored. This study investigated the effects of experimentally inducing a negative (sad) mood state upon reaction times in a computerized ApproachAvoidance-Task (AAT) using images of foods and compared to a neutral control procedure in which negative mood was not induced. Differences in reaction times between \"pulling\" and \"pushing away\" food cues in the AAT were considered surrogates for fast, automatic (i.e., implicit) preferences (\"bias\") for either the approach or avoidance of foods. Obese patients with BED (n = 40), weight-matched (obese) individuals (n = 40), and normweight controls (n = 29) were asked to approach (\"pull\") or avoid (\"push\") images of high- and low-calorie foods following the induction of a negative mood state vs. the neutral control procedure. Sample size was within the common range of previous investigations of the kind. Similar to previous findings, obese patients with BED exhibited an avoidance bias (i.e., faster reaction times in \"pushing\" compared to \"pulling\") during the neutral control condition. However, a contrast analysis revealed that negative mood was associated with decreased avoidance bias in obese patients with BED, but not in obese and norm-weight controls. Mood status exerted no effect on BED patients' self-reported (i.e., explicit) ratings of the urge to consume foods. These findings may help to advance current understanding of how negative (sad) mood states may affect binge eating behaviors. Implications of these findings for developing novel treatment approaches are discussed.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","date_created":"2026-03-27T10:12:18Z"},{"year":"2021","publication":"Zeitschrift für Psychologie","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"title":"Cures That (Make You) Work How a Treatment's Social Role Affects Health-Related Behavioral Intentions","author":[{"last_name":"Aengenheister","first_name":"Jana S.","full_name":"Aengenheister, Jana S."},{"first_name":"Renée","last_name":"Urban","full_name":"Urban, Renée"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"}],"abstract":[{"text":"Successful treatment not only depends on adhering to taking medication and attending therapy but also on behavioral changes.

This study sought to replicate and extend this line of research by investigating whether and under what conditions preschool children generalise EC effects from conditioned to novel stimuli. Specifically, two experiments were conducted in which 3- to 6-year-old children (N = 139) observed the pairing of two cartoon characters with two positive and negative images. Afterwards, children evaluated the paired characters as well as other novel characters, which were not previously presented, that varied systematically in their perceptual similarity to the conditioned stimuli (Experiments 1 & 2), or that could be grouped by a categorisation rule (Experiment 2). It was found that children generalised attitudes to perceptually similar stimuli, but not to stimuli related by a categorisation rule, despite evidence for rule-learning. Implications of these findings for attitude development are discussed.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Informa UK Limited","pmid":"1","intvolume":" 35","extern":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-09T11:52:55Z","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","volume":35,"doi":"10.1080/02699931.2020.1854187","user_id":"83778","isi":"1","publication_status":"published","external_id":{"isi":["000596238700001"],"pmid":["33267738"]},"citation":{"havard":"G.

There is, however, considerable debate about the mechanisms that underlie this process of affective attitude formation. Therefore, in the present study we employed a single-trial, intentional learning procedure that paired neutral with valenced words while recording ERP activity, and measured subsequent memory and subsequent attitudes for the pre-experimentally neutral words immediately following learning. Using traditional as well as single-trial ERP analyses, we found that frontal slow wave (FSW) activity, elicited while stimuli were being paired, was associated with both subsequent memory for the word pairs and subsequent attitudes towards the pre-experimentally neutral words. Specifically, FSW activity during the pairing of neutral with positive words was related to more positive subsequent attitudes, while during the pairing of neutral with negative words, it was associated with more negative subsequent attitudes, towards the pre-experimentally neutral words. Given that this FSW activity was also related to successful subsequent episodic memory retrieval for the word pairs, these findings provide evidence that the transfer of valence may depend on a process that supports associative episodic encoding during word paring. Further, a single-trial, mixed-effects model indicated that the relationship between encoding FSW activity and subsequent attitudes depended on the strength of the episodic memory trace. Thus, the present study provides novel evidence that a common mechanism contributes to both episodic memory encoding and affective attitude formation.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","date_created":"2026-03-27T10:15:04Z","publication":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","year":"2020","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"title":"Frontal ERP slow waves during memory encoding are associated with affective attitude formation","author":[{"first_name":"Glen","last_name":"Forester","full_name":"Forester, Glen"},{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"full_name":"Walther, Eva","last_name":"Walther","first_name":"Eva"},{"last_name":"Kamp","first_name":"Siri-Maria","full_name":"Kamp, Siri-Maria"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article","user_id":"83778","volume":158,"doi":"10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2020.11.003","intvolume":" 158","pmid":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-09T11:49:35Z","extern":"1","status":"public","page":"389-399","citation":{"short":"G.

Going beyond previous research, three yet-unexplored moderators of the RD-aggression link were experimentally tested: In Experiment 1 (N = 157), we tested the effect of the scarcity of resources one is deprived of, and the intensity of the RD experience in terms of the magnitude of the disadvantaged comparison. In Experiment 2 (N = 195), we investigated whether aggressive behavior is influenced by imposing possible or actual sanctions (i.e., costs) for aggression. The results show effects on aggressive behavior toward the other player that were mediated by the personal perception of RD and that only actual but not possible costs eliminated this indirect effect.

In the present experiment we tested the stress-induction potential of a refined version of the TSST-VR using a fully orthogonal experimental design in which ninety-three healthy males were either assigned to the TSST condition or a corresponding control condition in a real or virtual environment. We found a significant increase of endocrine, autonomic and self-reported stress markers in both stress conditions.

In particular, we predicted that memory would be better for congruent combinations of medium and distance (i.e., pictures of psychologically proximal entities and verbal labels of psychologically distal entities) than incongruent combinations (i.e., pictures of psychologically distal entities and verbal labels of psychologically proximal entities). Our results support this hypothesis. In Experiments 1 and 2, recall was better when medium and temporal distance were congruent than not. In Experiment 3 people recognition was better when medium and spatial distance were congruent than not. These findings suggest that the decay of memory for details over time is a specific case of a broader principle that governs our memory system and is based on psychological distance between the individual and the target entity. More broadly, these results speak to the growing literature, which suggests that one of the major roles of memory is prospection. Within this framing, our findings suggest that the memory system serves prospection using qualitatively different information processing devices, depending on the psychological distance of the target from the individual."}],"issue":"4","date_created":"2026-03-27T10:16:46Z","title":"Distance-dependent memory for pictures and words","author":[{"full_name":"Amit, Elinor","first_name":"Elinor","last_name":"Amit"},{"last_name":"Rim","first_name":"SoYon","full_name":"Rim, SoYon"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","last_name":"Halbeisen","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg"},{"full_name":"Cohen Priva, Uriel","first_name":"Uriel","last_name":"Cohen Priva"},{"last_name":"Stephan","first_name":"Elena","full_name":"Stephan, Elena"},{"full_name":"Trope, Yaacov","last_name":"Trope","first_name":"Yaacov"}],"year":"2019","publication":"Journal of Memory and Language","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}]},{"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000509308600001"]},"status":"public","page":"271-310","citation":{"ufg":"Walther, Eva u. a.: An action control perspective of evaluative conditioning, in: European Review of Social Psychology 30 (2019), H. 1, S. 271–310.","ama":"Walther E, Blask K, Halbeisen G, Frings C.

This pervasiveness is not surprising given an attitude's utility in reducing the complexity of the environment into relatively simple likes or dislikes of stimuli. How attitudes are formed is usually addressed by means of evaluative conditioning (EC). EC has been addressed from a traditional cognitive and a functional account. In this article, we present a different perspective on EC, which is situated in action control research. This perspective tries to take advantage of the strengths of both existing EC accounts by focusing on those cognitive processes that enjoy high levels of experimental control and that are necessary to explain how stimuli find their way into mental processing and ultimately into an evaluative response. Implications of this action control based account for EC research in specific and for attitude research in general are discussed."}],"issue":"1","date_created":"2026-03-27T10:17:54Z","intvolume":" 30","date_updated":"2026-04-08T13:05:22Z","extern":"1","type":"scientific_journal_article","user_id":"83778","doi":"10.1080/10463283.2019.1699743","volume":30},{"publication_status":"published","status":"public","citation":{"bjps":"Walther E, Halbeisen G and Blask K (2018) What You Feel Is What You See: A Binding Perspective on Evaluative Conditioning.

Based on feature integration theory (Treisman & Gelade, 1980, https://doi.org/10.1016/0010-0285(80)90005-5) and the theory of event coding (TEC; Hommel, Müsseler, Aschersleben, & Prinz, 2001, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X01000103), we assume that EC depends on a selective integration mechanism that binds relevant CS, US, and action features into an event-file, while simultaneously inhibiting features irrelevant for current goals. This perspective examines hitherto unspecified processes relevant to the encoding of CS-US pairs and their consequences for behavior, which we hope will stimulate further theoretical development.

In the research reported here, we hypothesize that this is a result of the way EC procedures can bias the encoding of CS-US contingencies and therefore bias contingency learning. This may have prevented previous investigations from detecting contingency effects despite EC being sensitive to the encoding of CS-US contingencies. In support of this hypothesis, we show that measured (Experiments 1 a and 1 b) and manipulated (Experiment 2) differences in contingency learning predict the effect of CS-US contingency on EC.

Although the question of whether a secondary task can interfere with the occurrence of EC is of great theoretical relevance, previous research has not obtained a consistent pattern of results. Whereas in some studies EC remains intact under dual-task conditions, in others a secondary task resulted in reduced or diminished EC. In order to reconcile these inconsistent findings, we hypothesized that dual-task interference in EC depends on the similarity of demands incurred by processing the stimuli used in the conditioning procedure and the secondary task. Specifically, we assumed that interference only occurs when similar verbal or visuospatial demands are imposed. In order to test this hypothesis, we investigated the occurrence of EC under conditions of a demanding 3-back working memory task while using either orthographic or pictorial stimuli to manipulate verbal and visuospatial processing demands, respectively. Relative to conditions using dissimilar types of stimuli, we found that the 3-back task interfered with the occurrence of EC only when the same types of stimuli were used. The implications for the underlying processes of EC are discussed.

In Experiments 1a and 1b, we found that verbal (vs. pictorial) presentation of objects led to broader, more inclusive categorization of those objects. In Experiment 2, we found that word (vs. picture) priming led to greater global (vs. local) processing of subsequent perceptual information. Finally, in Experiments 3 and 4, we tested the opposite direction of causality. Thinking about high-level “why” versus relatively low-level “how” (Experiment 3) and thinking about high-level categories versus relatively low-level exemplars (Experiment 4) led to more verbal versus pictorial thought. These findings provide converging evidence that medium (word, picture) is associated with level of construal.

In this research we address the role of different memory processes contributing to EC. Although it is commonly found that memory for the pairings increases EC, we argue that memory performance data obtained in the standard paradigm remain ambiguous. We hypothesize that memory for stimulus pairings may moderate EC by means of an intentional use of conscious recollection as well as through unintended effects of memory. In two experiments we used modified memory tests that distinguish between these different memory processes on an item-level by identifying recollection as the participant's ability to control memory performance. The analyses of the experiments showed that both intended and unintended influences independently moderate EC. Based on these results we discuss the role of different memory processes in EC, and how memory and learning processes may be related.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","year":"2014","author":[{"last_name":"Halbeisen","id":"85780","first_name":"Georg","full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"full_name":"Blask, Katarina","last_name":"Blask","first_name":"Katarina"},{"full_name":"Weil, Rebecca","last_name":"Weil","first_name":"Rebecca"},{"last_name":"Walther","first_name":"Eva","full_name":"Walther, Eva"}],"title":"The role of recollection in evaluative conditioning","type":"scientific_journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.jesp.2014.07.005","volume":55,"user_id":"83781","intvolume":" 55","date_updated":"2026-03-27T13:53:34Z"},{"publication_status":"published","isi":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000307607600003"]},"status":"public","place":"Orlando, Fla.

Attentional resources were manipulated by presenting CSs and USs either within the same modality or in different modalities. Goal-directed attention was manipulated by asking participants to respond to the CSs or to the USs.
