This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $107,277 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on differential responding to strategies for disengaging from perseverative (repetitive) thought patterns. The 2-year project aims to leverage mobile digital technologies and machine learning to study the immediate and sustained efficacy of four evidence-based regulatory strategies (cognitive reappraisal, focused attention meditation, savoring, and absorption practice) in managing perseverative thoughts characterized by factors like negative valence, abstractness, verbal/visual properties, temporal orientation, and passiveness. The researchers will test hypotheses about the differential impact of these strategies based on the momentary features of participants' thoughts, as well as use predictive modeling to determine which strategies work best for particular thought patterns. This research is expected to have direct clinical utility and inform the development of personalized interventions for managing perseverative thought processes.
