Development and validation of the State Hope Scale.
C. R. Snyder,Susie C. Sympson,Florence C. Ybasco,Tyrone F. Borders,Michael A. Babyak,Raymond L. Higgins +5 more
TL;DR: The present 4 studies were designed to develop and validate a measure of state hope and offer a brief, internally consistent, and valid self-report measure of ongoing goal-directed thinking that may be useful to researchers and applied professionals.
Journal ArticleDOI
What you see may not be what you get: a brief, nontechnical introduction to overfitting in regression-type models.
TL;DR: The notion of overfitting is presented in terms of asking too much from the available data, and three common practices—automated variable selection, pretesting of candidate predictors, and dichotomization of continuous variables—are shown to pose a considerable risk for spurious findings in models.
Journal ArticleDOI

James A. Blumenthal,Michael A. Babyak,Kathleen A. Moore,W. Edward Craighead,Steve Herman,Parinda Khatri,Robert A. Waugh,Melissa A. Napolitano,Leslie M. Forman,Mark Appelbaum,P. Murali Doraiswamy,K. Ranga Rama Krishnan +11 more
TL;DR: After 16 weeks of treatment exercise was equally effective in reducing depression among patients with MDD, and an exercise training program may be considered an alternative to antidepressants for treatment of depression in older persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise Treatment for Major Depression: Maintenance of Therapeutic Benefit at 10 Months
Michael A. Babyak,James A. Blumenthal,Steve Herman,Parinda Khatri,Murali Doraiswamy,Kathleen A. Moore,W. Edward Craighead,Teri T. Baldewicz,K. Ranga Rama Krishnan +8 more
TL;DR: Among individuals with MDD, e-ercise therapy is feasible and is associated with significant therapeutic benefit, especially if e- exercise is continued over time.

Depression as a risk factor for coronary artery disease: evidence, mechanisms, and treatment.
Heather S. Lett,James A. Blumenthal,Michael A. Babyak,Andrew Sherwood,Timothy J. Strauman,Clive J. Robins,Mark F. Newman +6 more
TL;DR: There is substantial evidence for a relationship between depression and adverse clinical outcomes, however, despite the availability of effective therapies for depression, there is a paucity of data to support the efficacy of these interventions to improve clinical outcomes for depressed CAD patients.
