The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Item Repository
Hi everyone,
We are currently building an ESM Item Repository, and are delighted to announce that it is now officially live and open for submissions!
To get us off to a flying start, we would like to try and get as many items into the repository as possible by Monday 3rd June.
Our aim is to support the development, transparency and reproducibility of ESM research by creating an open repository of existing ESM items. Contributing items to the repository means that we can all more easily find, use and cite these items. Going forward, we also aim to psychometrically validate items within the repository. In order to achieve this, we need your help in collecting as many items as possible! To find out more information and to contribute items to the repository, check out the Contributors’ Pack on our OSF project page here (https://osf.io/kg376/).
If you are planning on contributing items to the repository, please let us know here: https://docs.google.com/…/1oRRxSyl9q75EjdUDvn54mS-VSn…/edit…
Please also feel free to get in touch with any questions: olivia.kirtley@kuleuven.be
So let’s dust off those ESM items we all have lying around and get them into the open!
Thanks and best wishes,
Olivia Kirtley, KU Leuven
Anu Pauliina Hiekkaranta, KU Leuven
Yoram Kunkels, UMCG
Davinia Verhoeven, KU Leuven
Martine Van Nierop, KU Leuven
Inez Germeys, KU Leuven.

MINDCOG: mechanisms of change of short therapeutic interventions to reduce perseverative cognition—a vulnerability for depression.
Marie-José van Tol, Marieke van Vugt, Harriëtte Riese, Marlijn Besten.
In fall 2019, we hope to start with the MINDCOG project, a study into maladaptive thinking in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Persistent negative thinking and rumination (i.e., perseverative cognitions [PC]) are key characteristics of MDD that often persist in the remitted phase. Therapeutic techniques, including fantasizing and mindfulness, seem potent in reducing relapse, putatively by enhancing positive attitudes and acceptance of thoughts, respectively. The MINDCOG study investigates 1) the psycho-physiological and cognitive mechanisms by which one-week App-based training of fantasizing vs. mindfulness affect PC and 2) if pre-therapeutic individual characteristics predict superior effectivity of one intervention over the other in reducing PC. Together with Marie-José van Tol (Cognitive Neuroscience Center), Marieke van Vugt (Artificial Intelligence) and Harriëtte Riese, Marlijn Besten will work on this project during her PhD. Currently, they are working on the METc protocol and funding applications. The goal is to include 50 remitted MDD patients, vulnerable for depressive relapse, and 50 healthy controls. The study uses a cross-over design studying the effects of both fantasizing and mindfulness within individuals. Intervention effects will be measured using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), heart rate variability (HRV) and electroencephalogram (EEG).

MATCH: Modifying psychologicAl Treatment to the CHaracteristics and needs of cancer survivors
Judith Rosmalen is co-investigator of a project that started July 2018 at the Amsterdam UMC, the MATCH study. The aim of this study is to examine whether personalized psychological treatment has added value to protocollized psychological treatment on patient functioning in 186 cancer survivors with severe cancer-related fatigue, depression and/or fear of cancer recurrence.
Investigators of this study are Prof. dr. Hans Knoop, dr. Annemarie Braamse & Susan Harnas, MSc (onderzoeksteam Amsterdam UMC, locatie AMC), prof dr. Judith Rosmalen (UMCG, ICPE)
Timeline of this project is: 1 July 2018 until 30 June 2022.

Marlijn Besten - MINDCOG
My name is Marlijn Besten and I started as a PhD candidate on the MINDCOG project in October 2018.
After finishing my Bachelor in Psychology at the University of Twente, I moved to Groningen to do the research master Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences. As a Master Thesis, I worked together with Marie-José van Tol and Marieke van Vugt on an interdisciplinary project studying whether thought content could be manipulated using stress and positive affect induction techniques in individuals varying in susceptibility to negative affect. We found some interesting results and decided to write a proposal for a PhD bursary project at the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences (RUG). My PhD project is an extension of the Master Thesis studying the mechanisms of change of short therapeutic interventions to reduce perseverative cognition, a maladaptive way of thinking related to a vulnerability for depression. Together with Harriëtte Riese, we are now working on the design of a diary study using heart rate measures and electroencephalogram studying the effects of mindfulness and positive fantasizing on perseverative cognition.

iLab work meeting: The Experience sampling Method in Clinical Practice
A monthly meeting for researchers and healthcare professionals who are interested in research into and implementation of ESM in clinical practice. The goals are to discuss ongoing and new projects, initiate joint projects, inform each other about relevant developments, and to zoom in on issues that are relevant to employing ESM in clinical practice. The monthly meetings will be short and sweet (45 minutes) with a quick round of updates from the participants followed by a presentation or discussion of a relevant topic.
Those interested in the monthly iLab meeting “ESM in clinical practice” can register by sending an e-mail to Jojanneke Bastiaansen: j.bastiaansen@umcg.nl.
