• Acceptance and commitment therapy: model, processes and outcomes. (2006, background): “Support for the hypothesized mediators of change in CBT is weak (e.g., Burns & Spangler, 2001; Morgenstern & Longabaugh, 2000), particularly in areas that are causal and explanatory rather than descriptive (Beck & Perkins, 2001; Bieling & Kuyken, 2003).”
• Acceptance and mindfulness-based therapy: new wave or old hat? (2008, background): “Support for the hypothesized mediators of change in CBT is weak (e.g., Burns & Spangler, 2001; Morgenstern & Longabaugh, 2000), particularly in areas that are causal and explanatory rather than descriptive (Beck & Perkins, 2001; Bieling & Kuyken, 2003).”
• Transdiagnostic Approaches to the Prevention of Depression and Anxiety (2009, unknown): “…a number of studies support the general tenets of the “contentspecificity hypothesis” (e.g., A. T. Beck, Wenzel, Riskind, Brown, & Steer, 2006; R. Beck & Perkins, 2001; Clark, Beck, & Alford, 1999; Hankin, Abramson, Miller, & Haeffel, 2004; Reardon & Williams, 2007), findings may be more…”
• Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Certainty in Pessimistic Predictions about the Future (2007, unknown): “Tests of this notion of content-specificity have attempted to distinguish the types of cognitions that may be uniquely associated with symptoms of depression versus anxiety (see R. Beck & Perkins, 2001).”

• Maladaptive Schemas and Psychopathology in Adolescence: On the Utility of Young’s Schema Theory in Youth (2010, background): “Consequently, given that anxiety refers to a heterogeneous set of emotional, cognitive and physiological responses, it should be examined whether a generic set of schemas exists common to all anxiety disorders and/or whether subsets of schemas exist that are associated with specific clusters of anxi”
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relational Frame Theory, and the Third Wave of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. (2004, background): “Support for the hypothesized mediators of change in CT is uneven (e.g., Burns & Spangler, 2001; Morgenstern & Longabaugh, 2000), particularly in areas that are causal and explanatory rather than descriptive (R. Beck & Perkins, 2001; Bieling & Kuyken, 2003).”
• The Relations of Cognitive Triad, Dysfunctional Attitudes, Automatic Thoughts, and Irrational Beliefs with Test Anxiety (2008, background): “In terms of the relationships among the cognitive variables, they are all significantly correlated to each other as expected, which is consistent with prior research ( Beck and Perkins 2001 ).”
