Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...

Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Behavioral Science
Neuroscience

Background:

Large-scale behavioral experiments are crucial for transdiagnostic psychiatric research.
Advanced programming and financial resources often create barriers for researchers.
The Cognitive & Behavioral Assessment Toolbox (CBAT) addresses these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce and validate the open-source Cognitive & Behavioral Assessment Toolbox (CBAT).
Demonstrate CBAT's capability to facilitate large-scale behavioral experiments without advanced programming expertise.

Main Methods:

An online behavioral experiment was conducted with 1309 Japanese participants.
Four tasks were deployed using CBAT: attention network test, beads task, probabilistic reward task, and delay/probability discounting task.
Demographic data, psychiatric symptom scales, and self-report questionnaires were collected.

Main Results:

CBAT successfully replicated key findings from prior studies for all four behavioral tasks.
Observed classic effects in attention, information sampling, response bias, and discounting behaviors.
Behavioral data validated the empirical utility of the CBAT platform.

Conclusions:

The CBAT platform is empirically valid and broadly applicable for behavioral research.
CBAT lowers barriers to high-quality research in psychiatry and related fields.
The platform promotes open science by providing accessible tools for complex behavioral experiments.
