Emotion socialization and child conduct problems: A comprehensive review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Findings support the integration of ESBs into family-based models of antisocial behavior, and have the potential to inform the design of parent training interventions for the prevention and treatment of child conduct problems.

Towards a new model of attentional biases in the development, maintenance, and management of pain.
TL;DR: The proposed Threat Interpretation Model suggests a relationship between threat, interpretation, and stimuli in determining attentional processes, which while tentative generates important testable predictions regarding the role of attention in pain and builds on previous theoretical and empirical work in this area.

Orientation-specificity of adaptation: isotropic adaptation is purely monocular.
TL;DR: Surprisingly, unlike masking, the effects of interocular adaptation are purely orientation-tuned, with no evidence of isotropic threshold elevation, and this dissociation points to isotropics adaptation being an earlier and more magnocellular-like process than that which supports orientation- Tuned adaptation.
Pain-related catastrophizing: we know it is important but why and how can we change it?: commentary on a paper by de Boer et al. (this issue).

TL;DR: It is found that the more individuals catastrophize, the more likely they are to experience higher levels of pain and increased health care utilization, indicating that pain catastrophizing is also relevant to people in the community who are not necessarily presenting for treatment of their pain.

Attention bias modification and its impact on experimental pain outcomes: Comparison of training with words versus faces in pain
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of training participants' attention towards or away from painful faces versus pain‐related words on pain outcomes on an acute experimental pain paradigm.
