A gender difference in the false recall of negative words: Women DRM more than men (2011)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Anderson, R. J., & Knott, L. M. (2012). A gender difference in the false recall of negative words: Women DRM more than men. Cognition and Emotion, 26(1), 65-74. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2011.553037

Gender differences in susceptibility to associative memory illusions in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm were investigated using negative and neutral word lists. Women (n=50) and men (n=50) studied 20 lists of 12 words that were associates of a... Read More about A gender difference in the false recall of negative words: Women DRM more than men.

Depression and anxiety related subtypes in Parkinson's disease (2011)
Journal Article
Brown, R., Landau, S., Hindle, J., Playfer, J., Samuel, M., Wilson, K., …for the PROMS-PD Study Group. (2011). Depression and anxiety related subtypes in Parkinson's disease. Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 82(7), 803-809. https://doi.org/10.1136/jnnp.2010.213652

Background: Depression and anxiety are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and although clinically important remain poorly understood and managed. To date, research has tended to treat depression and anxiety as distinct phenomena. There is growing evi... Read More about Depression and anxiety related subtypes in Parkinson's disease.

The mood-enhancing benefits of exercise: memory biases augment the effect (2010)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., & Brice, S. (2011). The mood-enhancing benefits of exercise: memory biases augment the effect. Psychology of sport and exercise, 12(2), 79-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychsport.2010.08.003

Objectives: To examine whether expectations regarding the benefits of exercise influence perceived mood changes post-exercise, by virtue of memory biases. Design: 2 x 2 Mixed design with 40 participants assigned to either exercise or non-exercise con... Read More about The mood-enhancing benefits of exercise: memory biases augment the effect.

Social Problem-Solving and Depressive Symptom Vulnerability: The Importance of Real-Life Problem-Solving Performance (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., Goddard, L., & Powell, J. H. (2011). Social Problem-Solving and Depressive Symptom Vulnerability: The Importance of Real-Life Problem-Solving Performance. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 35(1), 48-56. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10608-009-9286-2

Previous research suggests poor social problem-solving may function as a vulnerability factor for depressive symptoms. However, the ecological validity of previous findings is questionable, with recent research using real-life performance based appro...

Remembering the past and imagining the future: Differences in event specificity of spontaneously generated thought (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2009). Remembering the past and imagining the future: Differences in event specificity of spontaneously generated thought. Memory, 17(4), 367-373. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658210902751669

A growing interest has emerged in the role that autobiographical memory retrieval plays in simulation of future events. Cognitive explorations in this domain have generally relied on cue word paradigms with instructions to develop specific (relating...

Reduced specificity of autobiographical memory as a moderator of the relationship between daily hassles and depression (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, R., Goddard, L., & Powell, J. H. (2010). Reduced specificity of autobiographical memory as a moderator of the relationship between daily hassles and depression. Cognition and Emotion, 24(4), 702-709. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699930802598029

Autobiographical memory biases are potential cognitive vulnerability factors for depression, with recent research highlighting the potential importance of accompanying high levels of life stress. Using a prospective design, the current study examined... Read More about Reduced specificity of autobiographical memory as a moderator of the relationship between daily hassles and depression.

Social problem-solving processes and mood in college students: An examination of self-report and performance-based approaches (2007)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., Goddard, L., & Powell, J. H. (2009). Social problem-solving processes and mood in college students: An examination of self-report and performance-based approaches. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 33(2), 175-186. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10608-007-9169-3

Previous research has consistently linked poor problem-solving with depression and anxiety. However, much of this research has failed to directly assess real-life problem-solving, relying on self-appraisal or responses to hypothetical problems. This...
