Aug 30th 2023, 14:58

Parents should voice their concerns if their children’s mental health needs aren’t being addressed at school, says the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW), which is flagging persistent shortages of professionals even as mental health funding for schools increases.

Aug 30th 2023, 14:21

Journal of Counseling Psychology,  Vol 70(4), Jul 2023, 327-340; doi:10.1037/cou0000670
The negative impact of racism on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color’s (BIPOC’s) mental and physical health is well-documented. Research supports the critical role of personal hope as a buffer against despair and adverse health outcomes among BIPOC. However, there is a dearth of empirical research exploring the experiences of BIPOC’s sense of collective hope. This study aimed to help fill this gap in the literature by extending Mosley et al.’s (2020) multidimensional psychological framework of radical hope via a qualitative study. Radical hope includes a collective motivation of hope for BIPOC communities to work toward a more egalitarian future. In this study, focus groups and interviews were conducted with 29 BIPOC adults, with and without mental health training, to explore participants’ perceptions of radical hope. Seven interrelated themes were identified. Two core components and four themes aligned with and extended Mosley et al.’s (2020) framework: Collective Orientation, Faith and Agency, Resisting Racism, Embracing Racial Pride, Envisioning Possibilities, and Meaning Making and Purpose. We also identified a new theme, Valuing Self. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Aug 30th 2023, 13:33

This article presents data from a survey conducted with the National Federation of Domestic Workers in Brazil on the impact of the pandemic crisis, complemented by an analysis of key emergency policies and the Federation’s main actions in the first year of the pandemic. It discusses three key areas: employment and income, occupational health and safety, and violations of rights. It shows the extreme polarisation between those who lost their means of survival, and those who had to keep working at the cost of their health and basic human rights. Although the extent of the current crisis is exceptional, we argue that this situation is made possible by pre-existing conditions of legal exclusions and precarity.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/xap0000455/) Political and nonpolitical belief change elicits behavioral change.
Aug 30th 2023, 13:21

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied,  Vol 29(3), Sep 2023, 467-476; doi:10.1037/xap0000455
Beliefs have long been theorized to predict behaviors and thus have been the target of many interventions aimed at changing false beliefs in the population. But does changing beliefs translate into predictable changes in behaviors? Here, we investigated the impact of belief change on behavioral change across two experiments (N = 576). Participants rated the accuracy of a set of health-related statements and chose corresponding campaigns to which they could donate funds in an incentivized-choice task. They were then provided with relevant evidence in favor of the correct statements and against the incorrect statements. Finally, they rated the accuracy of the initial set of statements again and were given a chance to change their donation choices. We found that evidence changed beliefs and this, in turn, led to behavioral change. In a preregistered follow-up experiment, we replicated these findings with politically charged topics and found a partisan asymmetry in the effect, such that belief change triggered behavioral change only for Democrats on Democratic topics, but not for Democrats on Republican topics or for Republicans on either topic. We discuss the implications of this work in the context of interventions aimed at stimulating climate action or preventative health behaviors.

Aug 30th 2023, 10:12

Journal of Applied Psychology,  Vol 108(8), Aug 2023, 1277-1299; doi:10.1037/apl0001082
The present study explores the plausibility of measuring personality indirectly through an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. This chatbot mines various textual features from users’ free text responses collected during an online conversation/interview and then uses machine learning algorithms to infer personality scores. We comprehensively examine the psychometric properties of the machine-inferred personality scores, including reliability (internal consistency, split-half, and test–retest), factorial validity, convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity. Participants were undergraduate students (n = 1,444) enrolled in a large southeastern public university in the United States who completed a self-report Big Five personality measure (IPIP-300) and engaged with an AI chatbot for approximately 20–30 min. In a subsample (n = 407), we obtained participants’ cumulative grade point averages from the University Registrar and had their peers rate their college adjustment. In an additional sample (n = 61), we obtained test–retest data. Results indicated that machine-inferred personality scores (a) had overall acceptable reliability at both the domain and facet levels, (b) yielded a comparable factor structure to self-reported questionnaire-derived personality scores, (c) displayed good convergent validity but relatively poor discriminant validity (averaged convergent correlations = .48 vs. averaged machine-score correlations = .35 in the test sample), (d) showed low criterion-related validity, and (e) exhibited incremental validity over self-reported questionnaire-derived personality scores in some analyses. In addition, there was strong evidence for cross-sample generalizability of psychometric properties of machine scores. Theoretical implications, future research directions, and practical considerations are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Aug 30th 2023, 09:57

Crime &Delinquency, Ahead of Print. This study examines city-level rates of nonlethal violence among urban residents, including whether individual- and incident-level characteristics are associated with urban residents’ risk for gun and non-gun serious violence. Specifically, we assess which Chicagoans are most at-risk for nonlethal gun victimization, which are likely to withhold these victimizations from the police, and whether they differ from residents of other large U.S. cities in these rates and reporting behaviors. We analyze pooled 1996 to 2021 National Crime Victimization Survey data and find that Chicagoans have higher risk for nonlethal gun victimization, but similar reporting rates. Overall, urbanites withheld one in three nonlethal gun crimes from police, with an injury during the incident being the most salient factor in whether it was reported.

Aug 30th 2023, 09:56

Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice,  Vol 10(3), Sep 2023, 225-253; doi:10.1037/cns0000286
The first comprehensive studies on the effects of transitioning to persistent forms of self-transcendence are reported. Two online protocols that combined positive psychology exercises and meditation methods were studied. Instruction was pre-recorded and delivered online. Program 1 (n = 379) lasted 4 months, required 1.5–3 hr each day and contained a larger range of methods. Program 2 (n = 246) lasted 6 weeks, required 1.5–2 hr each day, and was a subset of Program 1. Participants were assessed using the Authentic Happiness Inventory, Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), PERMA Profiler Questionnaire, Fordyce Emotions Questionnaire (FEQ), Center for Epidemiology Studies–Depression questionnaire (CES-D), State/Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), Mysticism Scale (M-Scale), Modified Nondual Embodiment Thematic Inventory (MNETI), and Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ). After each program, participants were sorted into one of six categories of self-transcendence: none (nNSE), temporary (tNSE), and four increasing degrees of persistent self-transcendence (Locations 1–4). Results from each measure were reported by category and compared within and across programs. Of participants, 68% transitioned to persistent self-transcendence for Program 1 and 65% for Program 2. Measures revealed consistent positive trends from the nNSE category through the third or fourth category of persistent self-transcendence, with strong statistical significance and moderate to strong effect sizes. Generally, post-program scores, percentage changes, and effect sizes were stronger for the longer program. Both longer and shorter multimodal programs transitioned participants to persistent forms of self-transcendence, resulting in highly beneficial effects across a broad range of psychological indicators.

Aug 30th 2023, 09:22

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the self-reported sense of efficacy of Costa Rican teachers, who work with children ranging in age from 4 to 6 years, in face-to-face and distance education instructional settings across both rural and urban areas. The sample included 520 teachers. Teachers’ self-efficacy was measured using an adapted version of the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and a demographic information questionnaire. The results showed the self-reported sense of efficacy of Costa Rican teachers was higher in face-to-face than distance education instructional settings. Moreover, teachers at urban schools had higher teacher self-efficacy than teachers who work at rural schools. Teacher educators and teacher trainers should consider providing pre- and in-service trainings to address the educational needs of young children distantly. Governments should spend more money developing quick networks, providing educators and students with training and skills, and lowering the cost of Internet connection for underprivileged groups.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/s00127-023-02436-w/) Correlates of substance use in a large naturalistic cohort of young people with early and emerging psychosis
Aug 30th 2023, 09:11

Abstract

Background
Substance use remains a barrier to recovery for young people accessing early intervention services for psychosis. While correlates of use have been explored in populations experiencing a first episode of psychosis (FEP), sample sizes have been small and less research assesses cohorts at ultrahigh risk of psychosis (UHR).

Methods
This study uses data from a naturalistic cohort including UHR and FEP participants (N = 1252) to elucidate clinical correlates of use in the past 3 months of any illicit substance, amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), cannabis, and tobacco. Moreover, network analysis based on use of these substances and additionally alcohol, cocaine, hallucinogens, sedatives, inhalants, and opioids was completed.

Results
Young people with FEP used substances at significantly higher rates than those at UHR. High concurrence of use was seen between substances. In the FEP group, participants who had used any illicit substance, ATS, and/or tobacco had increased positive symptoms and decreased negative symptoms. Young people with FEP who used cannabis had increased positive symptoms. In the UHR group, participants who had used any illicit substance, ATS, and/or cannabis in the past 3 months showed decreased negative symptoms compared to those who had not.

Conclusion
A distinct clinical picture of more florid positive symptoms and alleviated negative symptoms seen in those who use substances in the FEP group appears muted in the UHR cohort. Treating young people at UHR in early intervention services represents the earliest opportunity to address substance use early to improve outcomes.

Aug 30th 2023, 07:34

Abstract
The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index (PPFI) in a racially diverse sample of college students. Seven hundred twenty-three undergraduate students were recruited from a four-year public university in Hawaiʻi, USA. Confirmatory factor analyses were initially conducted to examine whether the theory-driven three-factor structure (i.e., Avoidance, Acceptance, and Harnessing) found in previous studies was identified in the current sample. The Generalized Partial Credit Model (GPCM), an item response theory (IRT) model for polytomous responses, was then used to explore the adequacy and accuracy of items and their response categories. We found a three-dimensional structure of PPFI, with minor modification for a correlated error term allowed between two items to be best fit of the present data. The GPCM analysis also indicated that, while most items in the Avoidance and Acceptance factors reliably measured the intended constructs, several items in the Harnessing factor showed suboptimal item information. Furthermore, our findings suggested reducing the 7-point original response categories to 5-point ones given the probabilities endorsed by items. Using an IRT model, this was the first study that investigated the psychometric properties of PPFI with a racially diverse sample of college students. While the PPFI is a promising measure of psychological flexibility, we found the areas of improvement through examining it at the item level.

Aug 30th 2023, 07:28

Context: 
There is an invigorated national interest in nutrition security, with emphasis on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) playing a key role.
Objective: 
To support healthy food purchasing, several strategies have emerged to modify the food retail environment. However, the legal feasibility of several such policy options has not been established.
Design: 
Research was conducted using Lexis+ to evaluate statutes, regulations, and case law to determine the legal feasibility of requiring retail-based SNAP signage and nutrition disclosures, healthy endcaps and checkout aisles, and tying advertising restrictions to the licensing of SNAP retailers.
Setting: 
US in-store and online food retail retailers.
Main Outcome Measure: 
Legal feasibility.
Results: 
Requiring retailers that designate certain foods or locations as SNAP-eligible to consistently do so in all SNAP-eligible pages/locations is likely feasible. If properly drafted to focus on the nutritional quality of food, healthy checkout and endcap restrictions are legally feasible. It is of unclear legal feasibility to require retailers (especially in-store) to disclose nutrition-related labeling, shelf tags, or nonfactual symbols indicating the relative healthfulness of products. Restricting or banning advertising is not legally feasible even if the government ties the restrictions to retail licensing requirements.
Conclusions: 
Entities seeking to support healthy food retail should not seek to restrict advertising or compel retailers to convey messages against their interests. The government can license retailers and require them to abide by laws and other requirements that do not violate their constitutional rights. The government can also use its own speech through public service announcements, billboards, and transit advertising to encourage healthy food consumption for all shoppers including those who use SNAP. Additional research is warranted into online retail practices to evaluate variations in online checkout pages and to determine whether online retailers treat SNAP participants differently from non-SNAP participants.

To compare functions of the upper extremity between the elderly and young adults, 72 participants were recruited into the study. All participants were divided into 4 groups: aged 25 to 35 years, 60 to 69 years, 70 to 79 years, and 80 years and older. Participants were tested on the ability to perform activities with their upper limb by using the upper extremity performance test for the elderly (TEMPA [Test D’évaluation Des Membres Supérieurs Des Personnes Âgées]). A Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc Bonferroni test was also used in this study to compare the results between groups. The results show that the ability to perform activities with the upper limb in young adults is significantly different from that of the elderly. Also, the study illustrates that there is a notable difference in unilateral hand function and bilateral hand function. The difference in upper extremity function has statistical significance between the elderly and young adults.

Aug 30th 2023, 04:28

Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology,  Vol 29(3), Jul 2023, 302-315; doi:10.1037/cdp0000500
Objective: Racial inequities in mental health care utilization (MHCU) are well documented. Marginalized racial groups are more likely to report psychosis-like experiences (PLEs) and are at elevated risk for racial discrimination and trauma, impacting PLE severity. Little is known about how factors associated with race impact treatment seeking among individuals reporting PLEs. The present study examined associations between race, trauma, discrimination, PLEs, and MHCU among people endorsing high levels of PLEs. Method: Participants were Asian/Asian American, Black/African American, or White/European American college students ages 18–25 years meeting PLE self-report measure cutoff scores (N = 177). Binary logistic and multiple linear regressions were used to examine associations between past, current, and prospective MHCU and race, potentially traumatic events, discrimination, and PLEs. Results: Participants endorsing more PLEs were more likely to report past and current treatment and to be considering future services. Asian/Asian American and Black/African American participants were less likely to endorse past, current, and prospective future mental health care. Potentially traumatic events predicted increased utilization of past treatment. Conclusions: Results suggest service differences among participants, such that Black/African American and Asian/Asian American young adults reporting PLEs were less likely than White/European American counterparts to seek treatment even when accounting for traumatic events and discrimination. These findings highlight the need to further elucidate MHCU among marginalized racial groups experiencing psychosis-like symptoms. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Aug 30th 2023, 03:34

Abstract
Perception of friendship quality has been shown to be a key ingredient for children’s mental health, however, less is known about how the learning environment might impact these relations. This study investigated how children’s perceptions of friendship quality are related to their mental health (i.e., satisfaction with life and depressive symptoms) and whether school goal structures are potential moderators for these relations in a sample of elementary school children. A sample of 423 fourth-grade students (Mage = 10.85, 46.33% boys) and their teachers (N = 24) participated in the study. Children filled out questionnaires assessing friendship quality, satisfaction with life, and depressive symptoms. Teachers completed a scale evaluating their perception of the school goal structures. Results indicated that children who reported high positive friendship quality were more satisfied with their lives, whereas children who reported high levels of negative friendship quality experienced lower levels of life satisfaction and higher levels of depressive symptoms. School mastery goal structures reported by teachers moderated the relation between children’s perception of friendship quality and their depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Further, school performance goal structures reported by teachers moderated the relation between children’s perception of negative friendship quality and their depressive symptoms. The results seem to suggest that the effects of mastery goal structure are not always positive, whereas a performance goal structure might sometimes be beneficial for students’ mental health.
