Morbid jealousy is a potentially disruptive condition that has received little attention. A cognitive-behavioural formulation of morbid jealousy proposes that such individuals possess schema in which there is a perceived threat of loss of their sexual partner. An attentional bias in morbid jealousy was investigated by using a dichotic listening task and the modified Stroop test. Twenty subjects who had met criterion for morbid jealousy were compared with 20 control subjects. In the dichotic listening task, word pairs were presented to each ear simultaneously, and subjects shadowed one channel while identifying target words. Ten percent of the words presented to the non-attended channel were target words, of which half were jealousy-related and half were not. Subjects were not told that the target words were only presented in the unattended channel. In the modified Stroop test, subjects had to name the colour of a series of Os, colour words, emotional words, control neutral words and jealousy-related words. As predicted, jealous subjects showed a superior performance in detecting jealousy-related stimuli in the dichotic listening task and an impaired performance in the colour naming of jealousy-related stimuli in the modified Stroop test, compared to the control subjects and the control conditions. The results of this study add support to the formulation that morbid jealousy involves an attentional bias towards jealousy-related information and this may have clinical implications.

Orientation Scale

Prosocial orientation may increase sensitivity to aggression-related cues. In the present experiment, prosocial orientation, but not aggressiveness, correlated to a cognitive bias towards violence words. Ninety-six advanced students and postgraduates, 45 male, mean age = 25.6 ± 3.5 years, completed a prosocial orientation scale and an aggressiveness scale (Fahrenberg, Hampel, & Selg, 2001). In each scale, twelve statements were answered by “correct” or “not correct”, then scores were summed. To test if there was a cognitive bias towards aggression, participants named – as quickly as possible – the color of each word of two modified Stroop tables, each table displaying three columns of 24 words with alternating colors (red, green, blue, yellow). This arrangement resembled an established Stroop test (Bäumler, 1985) but words referring to an emotion rather than a color should slow down responses (e.g., Williams, Mathew, & MacLeod, 1996). One table displayed neutral words (“fruit”, “move”, “frame”, “water”, “journey”, “umbrella”), the other table displayed violence words (“murder”, “slaps”, “threat”, “punishment”, “command”, “contempt”). In an unpublished exploration, the author identified the aggression-related and neutral words lists using a factorial analysis of ratings of whether or not words described an interpersonal conflict. The reaction time (RT) of the neutral table was subtracted from the RT of the violence table in each subject. After median splits according to the questionnaire scores, groups were compared.

Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to identify parent education procedures implemented in intervention studies focused on expressive verbal communication for nonverbal (NV) or minimally verbal (MV) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parent education has been shown to be an essential component in the habilitation of individuals with ASD. Parents of individuals with ASD who are NV or MV may particularly benefit from parent education in order to provide opportunities for communication and to support their children across the life span. Method ProQuest databases were searched between the years of 1960 and 2018 to identify articles that targeted verbal communication in MV and NV individuals with ASD. A total of 1,231 were evaluated to assess whether parent education was implemented. We found 36 studies that included a parent education component. These were reviewed with regard to (a) the number of participants and participants' ages, (b) the parent education program provided, (c) the format of the parent education, (d) the duration of the parent education, (e) the measurement of parent education, and (f) the parent fidelity of implementation scores. Results The results of this analysis showed that very few studies have included a parent education component, descriptions of the parent education programs are unclear in most studies, and few studies have scored the parents' implementation of the intervention. Conclusions Currently, there is great variability in parent education programs in regard to participant age, hours provided, fidelity of implementation, format of parent education, and type of treatment used. Suggestions are made to provide both a more comprehensive description and consistent measurement of parent education programs.
