Aug 21st 2023, 14:24

Abstract
For social work with adults with mild intellectual disabilities, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provides a framework for putting the principles of social justice and human rights into practice. This article focuses on social workers’ knowledge, values, and skills, which may contribute to the protection of the rights of adults with mild intellectual disabilities. A scoping review found no documented effective competencies for realizing human rights and social inclusion for adults with mild intellectual disabilities. As a result, a narrative review was conducted focusing on codes of ethics and competency profiles in the USA, UK, and Netherlands. The codes of ethics were found to align with the values of social justice, human dignity, integrity, competence/expertise, and relationship building. Differences between the codes of ethics and competency profiles were found in the human rights underpinning and weight given to advocacy, racism, dimensions of justice, and intersectionality. Six clusters of competencies were identified as aligning with CRPD aspirations: assessment, engagement, advancement, empowerment, intervention, and professionalism. We conclude that with regard to skills and knowledge, social work is profiled as a human rights profession in the USA and UK more explicitly than in NL. Regardless of the codes of ethics and competency profiles, convincing evidence that performing the competencies contributes to human rights realization is lacking. Further investigation of social work knowledge and skills that may be effective in the protection and promotion of human rights is recommended.

Aug 21st 2023, 14:12

Abstract
This paper summarizes many findings about depression among children and adolescents. Depression is prevalent, highly distressing, and exerts considerable burden worldwide. Rates surge from childhood through young adulthood and have increased over the last decade. Many risk factors have been identified, and evidence-based interventions exist targeting mostly individual-level changes via psychological or pharmacological means. At the same time, the field appears stuck and has not achieved considerable progress in advancing scientific understanding of depression’s features or delivering interventions to meet the challenge of youth depression’s high and growing prevalence. This paper adopts several positions to address these challenges and move the field forward. First, we emphasize reinvigoration of construct validation approaches that may better characterize youth depression’s phenomenological features and inform more valid and reliable assessments that can enhance scientific understanding and improve interventions for youth depression. To this end, history and philosophical principles affecting depression’s conceptualization and measurement are considered. Second, we suggest expanding the range and targets of treatments and prevention efforts beyond current practice guidelines for evidence-based interventions. This broader suite of interventions includes structural- and system-level change focused at community and societal levels (e.g., evidence-based economic anti-poverty interventions) and personalized interventions with sufficient evidence base. We propose that by focusing on the FORCE (Fundamentals, Openness, Relationships, Constructs, Evidence), youth depression research can provide new hope.

Aug 21st 2023, 13:23

Abstract
Adolescent mothers frequently encounter pregnancy-related stigma which increases their risk for depression and this risk is comparatively greater than for adult mothers. The current study investigated the relationship between stigma and depression in adolescent mothers including the role that household composition played in the adolescents’ experience of stigma and depression. A sample of 85 adolescent mothers, aged 14–18 years, enrolled at multiple sites of a national school program in Jamaica, completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire that assessed different types of perceived stigma, depression risk, and varying forms of household composition for the adolescent mothers. After adapting the Berger’s HIV Stigma Scale for use with adolescent pregnancy, correlational analyses revealed that higher scores on the Personalized Stigma and Negative Self-Image subscales and the overall stigma scale were associated with higher depression scores. Adolescent mothers living in a single-parent household were at increased risk for experiencing stigma while those living in multigenerational households were protected from depression risk. Regression analyses identified exposure to sexual violence during pregnancy as an independent predictor of feeling stigmatized, and depression risk was independently predicted by internalized stigma resulting in a negative self-image. We discuss conceptualizing stigma as heterogenous and bi-directional in its relationship with depression and suggest that more research is needed to evaluate the link between stigma, mental health risk and protective factors for adolescent mothers.

Aug 21st 2023, 12:33

Serious problems or disputes can occur in everyday life, such as contact with the criminal justice system, family breakdowns or an experience of discrimination or harassment. Indigenous people are more likely to experience these kinds of difficult challenges than their non-Indigenous, non-racialized counterparts, which could be attributable to numerous factors, including colonization, the effects of intergenerational trauma and existing socioeconomic disparities. For example, the proportion of people who experienced a serious problem with discrimination was approximately four times higher among First Nations people and Inuit, and two and a half times more prevalent among Métis, when compared with non-racialized, non-Indigenous people.

Aug 21st 2023, 12:32

Abstract
Infants can acquire fears vicariously by observing parents’ fearful reactions to novel stimuli in everyday situations (i.e., modeling). To date, no systematic or meta-analytic review examined the role of modeling in parent–child transmission of fear and avoidance in early life. In our systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the effect of modeling parents’ fearful reactions on infants’ acquisition of fear and avoidance of novel stimuli and explore the moderation of this effect by child behavioral inhibition (BI) and parent trait anxiety. The search conducted in Web Of Science, Pubmed, Embase, and PsycINFO revealed 23 eligible studies for the systematic review and 19 for the meta-analysis. Eligible studies included published studies that measured infant fear and avoidance (infants aged up to 30 months) of novel stimuli following exposure to parental fearful expressions. Meta-analysis findings revealed a significant causal effect of modeling of parental fear on infants’ fear [g = .44] and avoidance of novel stimuli [g = .44]. The findings support moderation by child BI on infant avoidance (not fear) acquisition, with the effects being larger for infants with higher BI. However, this moderation was only found, when including both experimental and correlational studies (p > .05), but not when exclusively including experimental studies (p = .17). This meta-analysis provides support for early parent-to-offspring fear transmission: a causal small to medium effect of parents’ fearful reactions was shown on infants’ fear and avoidance of novel stimuli. Elucidating parent-to-offspring anxiety transmission pathways can inform us about potential fear reduction and prevention strategies.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/7246313/) A Focus Group Study of Reactions to Messages about a Nicotine Reduction Policy Among People Who Use Little Cigars and Cigarillos
Aug 21st 2023, 12:24

Abstract
Introduction
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed rulemaking to reduce the nicotine content in cigarettes and other combusted tobacco products to non-addictive levels. This qualitative study documents reactions to messages communicating this policy among people who use little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs).
Methods
We conducted eight focus groups with participants from four populations with the highest prevalence of cigar use (African American males and females, White males and females). Participants described their reactions to eight messages about the policy: three messages about the equal risk of LCCs with regular and low nicotine levels; three quit efficacy messages about low nicotine LCCs being easier to quit; one “compensation” message to correct misperceptions about the policy causing people to smoke more to get desired nicotine; and one message about using alternative nicotine sources (e.g., e-cigarettes).
Results
Participants perceived risk messages as the most motivating to quit, whereas efficacy messages made some participants feel that the policy would cause former users of LCCs to relapse. Many participants expressed favorable responses to the compensation message. The message about using alternative nicotine sources sparked intense responses, with many participants expressing outrage and mistrust of the message. Participants’ beliefs that they were not addicted to LCCs dampened their perceptions of the effectiveness of the policy.
Conclusions
Perceptions of the addictiveness and relative harms of LCCS influenced responses to policy messages. The FDA should consider using different messages to communicate with people who use LCCs because they perceive LCCs as different from cigarettes.
Implications
This is the first study to document affect and cognitive responses to the FDA’s reduced nicotine policy among people who use little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs). The false belief that cigar products are less harmful than cigarettes maybe influencing people’s lack of support for the reduced nicotine policy and difficulty in understanding its potential positive impact. To maximize the public health benefit of the reduced nicotine policy, the FDA should include LCC products in the policy; however, it is crucial that they use educational messaging to clarify misperceptions regarding nicotine and harm as it applies to LCCs.

Aug 21st 2023, 12:23

Abstract
Caregiver adherence to treatment plans is likely maintained by negative reinforcement and can contact extinction when child responding relapses. When caregiver adherence contacts extinction, caregiver nonadherence, such as reinforcing their child’s challenging behavior, relapses, threatening treatment efficacy. Previous laboratory models demonstrating the relapse of caregiver nonadherence only evaluated treatment for behavior maintained by social-positive reinforcement, not that maintained by social-negative reinforcement. These models only measured caregiver nonadherence as discrete events, which cannot capture the magnitude of each error. The present study was an evaluation of the relapse of caregiver nonadherence during simulated treatments for escape-maintained challenging behavior. First, caregivers placed demands in a home-like setting and a research confederate responded to these demands in a manner mimicking clinical clients. Next, caregivers were taught to implement treatment in a clinical setting and the confederate’s behavior gradually improved. Last, caregivers returned to the home-like setting and confederate challenging behavior relapsed. Nonadherence relapsed for all caregivers, demonstrating the need for additional research on methods for mitigating caregiver relapse during treatment of children’s challenging behavior and the usefulness of the proposed measurement system for future research.

Aug 21st 2023, 10:23

Abstract
The use of psychoeducational interventions with parents of children diagnosed with a disability has been found to be effective in promoting parental well-being and improving family functioning. Such interventions typically require multiple sessions which, although well-meaning, impose time burdens on frequently overwhelmed parents. Research on brief interventions has shown promise for both children and adults in reducing emotional distress and improving psychological functioning. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a single-session intervention designed to reduce emotional distress and improve resilience among parents with a child diagnosed with a low-incidence disability. Results supported the efficacy of a single-session intervention for these parents. Twenty-six parents/primary caregivers of children diagnosed with low-incidence disabilities participated in a single-session intervention, a 5.5-hour psychoeducation workshop, to determine effects on measures of parental depression, anxiety, and stress, resilience, self-efficacy, and well-being. Comparisons of pretest-posttest mean scores revealed statistically significant differences on six of eight measures, all in an improved direction (i.e., lower posttest levels on measures of anxiety and stress, and higher posttest levels on measures of resilience, self-efficacy, and well-being). Positive post-workshop evaluation ratings also support the value of this intervention for parents. A description of workshop methods and content is provided to facilitate study replication. Authors discuss strategies for using brief, interactive, and resource-based psychoeducational parent training sessions to benefit families of children with disabilities.

Aug 21st 2023, 10:08

Training and Education in Professional Psychology,  Vol 17(3), Aug 2023, 248-258; doi:10.1037/tep0000419
Psychological science is committed to the research and use of evidence-based practice. To address the burden of mental illness, there is also a need to use psychological science for mental health advocacy and promotion. However, psychology training programs often focus on individual-level intervention instead of public health prevention in teaching, care delivery, and scholarship. Preparing psychologists to address population mental health and adequately serve all communities, especially those on the margins which our current system fails, will require moving beyond individual treatment and integrating public health values in training programs. We reflect on ways the Public Health Code of Ethics can be used to revise the current American Psychological Association psychology training competencies and discuss strategies psychology training programs can implement to train public-health oriented psychologists to move toward more ethical and effective practice.

Aug 21st 2023, 09:23

Abstract
The dispute of Mencius’ moral ideas in the English world mainly focuses on three aspects: do moral feelings and cognition come from the root of consanguineous affection or the “heart-mind” /xin/ of universal love? What causes moral motivations: feelings, or reasoning? What actions are moral? This dispute arises due to the analysis of Mencius in a dichotomous frame. This paper reveals that there is no paradox between the root of consanguineous affection and universal love. Because the mind of “four sprouts四端” is unified, moral feelings and cognition interweave with each other to stimulate moral motivations. According to Mencius, there are three processes of moral development: the first is the natural process mainly with moral feelings; the second is the process of probing the root or cultivating, and the third is the process of expanding moral feelings with reasoning. Moral actions occur in the first and third processes.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/grey-literature/what-happens-when-federal-disability-benefits-stop/) What Happens When Federal Disability Benefits Stop?
Aug 21st 2023, 09:08

Going back to work after relying on federal disability can be fraught with uncertainty. Some people experience a smooth transition, while others may have trouble becoming self-sufficient after their skills deteriorate and professional contacts dwindle.
Researchers at Mathematica examined how people fare in the labor force after their benefits end. This can happen for one of two reasons. First, Social Security stops paying benefits if one of the agency’s periodic medical reviews determines that a health condition has improved to the point where the individual no longer medically qualifies.
The second reason is that Social Security limits how much beneficiaries are permitted to earn. In order to encourage them to return to the labor force, the agency provides a set of work incentives that allow them to earn more than the limit without affecting their benefits. But after they have used up these temporary work incentives, the benefits stop if the worker’s earnings continue to exceed the limit, which is $1,470 per month in 2023.
The people who lose their benefits for work reasons already have, by definition, stronger ties to the labor force. Not surprisingly, the researchers find, nearly three out of four had earnings above the federal poverty level in the first five years after they went back to work. When the termination was medical, however, fewer than half were earning above the poverty line.
But even though they earned more, on average, the people who lost their benefits for work reasons did not always maintain their independence. They were two times more likely to wind up back on the disability rolls within five years than those who had lost them after their health improved – 32 percent versus 16 percent.
The researchers suggest a couple explanations for this. First, the path to resuming disability benefits is often smoother for people who lost them due to high earnings, because Social Security will, in certain situations, reinstate them on an expedited schedule.
In addition, if the benefits stopped because of earnings, the worker may still have a serious, ongoing health condition that makes it difficult to continue working. If that’s the case, the disability already fits the federal government’s definition of a qualifying condition.
A Social Security task force is currently conducting a study to learn more about people who lose their benefits for medical reasons. The goal is to design employment support programs that address their specific needs in returning to work so they can become self-sufficient.
But the researchers suggested that these efforts be expanded “to include former beneficiaries whose benefits terminated due to work,” they said.

Aug 21st 2023, 09:01

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Ahead of Print. Using a dyadic intensive longitudinal design, we examined bidirectional links between daily relationship tension and actigraphy-measured sleep quality and whether attachment and post-conflict recovery behavior moderated these effects. A community sample of cohabiting couples (N = 208 dyads) completed a laboratory-based conflict discussion and a 14-day diary study of arguments and relationship stress. Each night, participants wore actigraphy monitors to assess wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO), an indicator of poor sleep quality. WASO was higher on days of especially high relationship stress but was not associated with next-day relationship stress or arguments. Attachment anxiety and avoidance exacerbated associations between more frequent arguments and higher WASO, and between higher WASO and higher next-day relationship stress. Partner conflict recovery buffered links between higher WASO and more frequent arguments, and between higher relationship stress and higher WASO. This study, one of the few to incorporate behavioral observation and actigraphy-measured sleep quality, identified novel moderators of bidirectional associations between sleep quality and relationship tension, underscoring the significance of dyadic buffering processes on sleep quality.

Aug 21st 2023, 08:04

Abstract
Objective
Meat consumption has a host of serious negative consequences for nonhuman animals, underprivileged humans, and the natural environment. Several interventions have been developed to encourage meat reduction but to relatively limited effect. There is also a range of established predictors of meat consumption, but much less is known about the factors that predict intentions to reduce meat consumption. The goal of this study was to determine the roles of personality and self-knowledge in meat reduction intentions.
Method
In this set of three preregistered studies, we tested brief interventions to encourage meat reduction intentions and examined personality predictors of intentions to reduce meat consumption.
Results
We found no evidence that brief interventions with or without a self-knowledge component had a meaningful effect on changing meat reduction intentions. However, we found robust evidence for relatively small associations between intending to eat less meat and high Openness to Experience, high Emotionality, and perceiving meat reduction as moral behaviors.
Conclusion

Aug 21st 2023, 06:24

Abstract

Purpose
Intimate partner aggression (IPA) increased after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation (VSA) model, the current study examined associations among emotion regulation (ER) difficulties (an enduring vulnerability), COVID stress (a current stressor), alcohol use (a maladaptive coping strategy), and physical, psychological, and cyber IPA perpetration during the first eight months of the pandemic.

Method
Participants were 215 college students in current relationships from three universities across the US.

Results
Results of generalized linear models controlling for pre-COVID IPA perpetration showed a main effect of ER difficulties on physical IPA perpetration (b = 0.56, p < .001), an ER difficulties X COVID stress X alcohol use interaction on psychological IPA perpetration (b = 0.01, p = .03), and an ER difficulties X COVID stress interaction on cyber IPA perpetration (b = − 0.02, p = .02). Specifically, when ER difficulties and alcohol use were low, individuals with high levels of COVID stress were at higher risk of perpetrating psychological IPA relative to individuals with low levels of COVID stress. However, the association between COVID stress and psychological IPA perpetration was not statistically significant when ER difficulties and alcohol use were high. Similarly, when ER difficulties were low, individuals with high levels of COVID stress were at higher risk for perpetrating cyber IPA relative to individuals with low levels of COVID stress. However, when ER difficulties were high, the association between COVID stress and cyber IPA perpetration was not statistically significant.

Conclusions
The current findings tentatively implicate COVID stress as a critical correlate of IPA perpetration and suggest that individuals who have fewer existing vulnerabilities (i.e., ER difficulties) and maladaptive processes (i.e., alcohol use) should not be overlooked.

Aug 21st 2023, 04:24

Abstract
Preferences often change—even in short time intervals—due to either the mere passage of time (present-biased preferences) or changes in visceral or environmental conditions (state-dependent preferences). On the basis of empirical findings concerning state-dependent preferences, we critically discuss the “Aristotelian” view of unitary decision makers in economics. We illustrate that the conceptualization of preferences as “present-biased” as opposed to “state-dependent” has very different normative implications for which preferences should be considered “rational.” Empirically, however, the two concepts are very difficult to distinguish. The economist can justify any paternalistic intervention if she can conceptualize changing preferences so flexibly, and she can easily become a benevolent despot. We therefore urge for a more careful “Heraclitean” view of decision-making that accepts that a person may consist of multiple selves.

Spiderweb capitalism isn’t found only in tropical climates. Hoang makes a point of describing how tax havens in frontier markets connect back to wealthy countries that tout their transparency and devotion to the rule of law. As one of Hoang’s sources tells her, the United States is one of “the biggest gangsters on the block.” She cites scholar Hal Weitzman, who argues that the United States itself essentially functions as a tax haven for American companies and rich individuals, owing to its structure of corporate anonymity.

Aug 21st 2023, 03:31

Abstract
Evidence for the prospective associations among parental failure mindset, helicopter parenting, and children’s intelligence mindset is lacking. This three-wave longitudinal study (12 months apart between waves) addressed this research gap by testing whether perceived maternal helicopter parenting mediated the link between perceived maternal failure mindset and intelligence mindset. Participants included 525 Chinese adolescents (47.2% girls, Mage = 15.41 years, SD = 0.22). Random-intercept cross-lagged analysis suggests that mothers with stronger failure-is-debilitating mindsets are more likely to engage in helicopter parenting, which may in turn contribute to stronger endorsements of a fixed mindset of intelligence in their adolescent children. The relation between maternal helicopter parenting and children’s intelligence mindset appeared to be reciprocal, i.e., children’s fixed mindset may elicit more helicopter parenting over time.
