Dec 15th 2023, 13:27

Abstract
Early maladaptive traits are predictive of later borderline personality pathology (BPP), but little is known about their dynamic interplay over time. This is an important issue to address, however, as significant differences in the ‘clinical weight’ of various traits constituting the early BPP trait phenotype may inform the field on important target constructs from an early intervention perspective. Therefore, the current study aims to uncover the complex dependencies between BPP traits across the crucial developmental period of childhood and adolescence, by using longitudinal network analysis. Both between- and within-person networks were constructed to identify how early mother-reported borderline-related traits are connected across a timespan of six years (ntime 1 = 718, Mtime1 = 10.73 years, SDtime1 = 1.39, 55.1% girls). Overall, the temporal network suggested various trait interdependencies, with internalizing traits being particularly influential in the development of the BPP trait network structure. At the same time, externalizing traits likely inhibit the negative effects of these core traits. In addition, results also revealed that internalizing and externalizing clusters of early borderline-related traits are linked through emotional lability. Implications of these findings are discussed in view of the change mechanisms at play and potential targets for early intervention.

Dec 15th 2023, 12:27

Abstract
The Gaza Strip is a notoriously high-conflict area, but few large-scale studies have examined the rates of psychiatric distress and emotional/behavioral problems among Gaza youth, and there are few trauma-informed, scaleable intervention options. Studies in existence have used smaller samples or have examined focal problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or aggression. Here, we examine the mental health burden of young individuals (ages 8-13) in Gaza across a broad range of symptoms, and demonstrate the impact of a community-based, trauma-informed program, Eye to the Future. At the outset of this supportive youth program, over 2000 children and adolescent youth and their parents reported on child well-being using standardized measures with established global norms (the Child Behavior Checklist and Youth Self Report). These measures examine symptoms broadly (e.g. anxiety, depression, social problems, attention problems, aggression, etc.). Relative to U.S. population estimates, children in Gaza had between 2.5- and 17-times higher point prevalence of clinical mental health problems. The most significant clinical concern was anxiety, but overall, their symptoms were not confined to posttraumatic stress as a disorder and were instead broadly dispersed. However, these concerns were responsive to intervention: over the course of a six-month community psychosocial program, symptoms ameliorated, with approximately 50–70% showing reliable improvement at post-program (varying by measure). These gains were maintained in a 9-month follow-up. Future work should consider the broader mental health impact, beyond PTSD and aggression, and incorporate community supports into addressing mental health among children in the region.

Dec 15th 2023, 11:46

Abstract

Objective
Perspective-taking deficits are thought to perpetuate interpersonal dysfunction across different forms of mental illness. Although psychotherapeutic treatments are thought to target perspective-taking deficits, there is a dearth of research supporting this claim. In the current naturalistic study, we investigated whether perspective-taking frequency changed over the course of a two-week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) partial hospital treatment program.

Method
Participants were 421 adults with severe and complex mental illness that included mood, anxiety, and psychotic-spectrum disorders. Perspective-taking was assessed at admission and discharge using the 7-item Interpersonal Reactivity Index subscale.

Results
Results indicated improvements in perspective-taking from admission to discharge that did not vary as a function of participants diagnostic status or symptom severity. More severe autism spectrum disorder and borderline personality disorder symptoms were associated with less frequent perspective-taking across both time points.

Conclusions
These findings provide preliminary evidence to suggest that CBT may promote perspective-taking. Future research is needed to determine whether changes in perspective-taking are causally related to CBT, and if so, whether perspective-taking is a mechanism of change in psychotherapy.

Dec 15th 2023, 11:28

Abstract

Objective
The present study was conducted to examine the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program on stress, anxiety, and prenatal attachment of the high-risk pregnant women.

Method
This randomized controlled study was conducted with 94 high-risk pregnant women (48 participants in the experimental group, 46 participants in the control group). In the study, the experimental group underwent an eight-session MBSR program, consisting of two sessions per week for a total duration of 1 month. Data of the study were collected with the Prenatal Distress Questionnaire-Revised (NuPDQ), Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised 2 (PRAQR2), and Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI).

Results
After the intervention, the PRAQR2 total mean score in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, the PAI total mean score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the groups in the NuPDQ total mean score (p > 0.05).

Conclusions
It was determined that the MBSR program applied to high-risk pregnant women decreased anxiety levels, increased prenatal attachment levels, and did not affect stress levels of the pregnant women. Health professionals may consider the MBSR program for high-risk pregnant women as a means by which to improve their pregnancy outcomes.

Dec 15th 2023, 10:31

Abstract
Consistent with power and status differences between men and women in society, men tend to participate more than women do in question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions at in-person academic conferences. This gap in participation in scientific discourse may perpetuate the status quo. The current research examines whether this gender gap in participation in Q&A sessions extends to virtual conferences, which have become more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to shifts in conference formats to enable asynchronous, anonymous, and/or simultaneous participation, we examined whether virtual conferences are more inclusive, and mitigate the gender gap in Q&A participation. Across four virtual conferences that varied in gender representation and Q&A structured format, men continued to take a disproportionate amount of time and space in Q&A sessions. Disproportionate participation did not significantly vary between in-person and virtual formats and did not systematically vary by how the Q&A session was organized. In an all-chat virtual conference, gender differences in volubility were attenuated among higher status academics. Gendered participation and volubility were also impacted by which sub-discipline the presentation was in. Discussion considers the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for understanding the persistence of gender inequality in science. We encourage future research that attends to the cultural factors that promote or mitigate gender disparities in participation.

Dec 15th 2023, 09:39

Abstract
Previous evidence suggests that interventions that raise awareness of gender inequality might have the potential to challenge and undo well-anchored biases but, at the same time, might be threatening and provoke reactance against them. The effects of such interventions might also have a differential impact on women and men and vary depending on their level of neosexism and feminist identification. Extending previous research, two pre-registered studies (N = 1,895) were conducted to explore the differential effects of interventions that raise awareness of gender (in)equality with two frames (i.e., gender equality achievement vs. gender inequality persistence) on women’s and men’s attitudes toward women and gender equality. We also examined whether participants’ gender ideology moderates these effects via different psychological mechanisms (identity threat and cognitive unfreezing). Results indicated that for women, the gender inequality persistence framing is more effective (increases cognitive unfreezing) but potentially riskier (enhances identity threat) than the gender equality achievement framing. For men, the gender equality achievement framing seems especially effective as it reduced identity threat, although such effect is contingent on their gender ideology (feminist identification or/and neosexism). These findings have implications for the discourse of practitioners, politicians, and activists who might capitalize on the power of combining gender equality with gender inequality frames to improve attitudes toward women and gender equality depending on the specific goals, the context, and the target of the interventions.

Dec 15th 2023, 08:29

Abstract
There were limited opportunities for in-person social, intimate, and sexual interactions in England during 2020–2021, due to restrictions imposed by the UK government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. While previous studies examined the effects of lockdown on intimate relationships, there is less qualitative research regarding young people’s perspectives on and experiences of digitally mediated intimacy (sexting) during the period. This paper discusses findings from focus groups with 80 adolescents and interviews with 38 young adults that explored the topic. Analysis identified a normalization of non-consensual distribution of intimate images within adolescent peer culture and a reluctance to report or intervene in response to incidents of non-consensual distribution that are witnessed or experienced. The adolescent girls and young adult women also described other forms of unwanted and invasive image-sharing and requests for images. Young adults held various perspectives on sexting during lockdown, with some describing sexting as unfulfilling and/or “risky” and others sharing experiences of using sexting to generate intimacy and, among some, engaging in unwanted sexting with partners. By considering both adolescent and young adult perspectives obtained through focus groups and interviews, the study highlighted how group-level norms and meanings surrounding the risks and rewards of sexting may be reproduced or reworked as individuals transition from adolescence to young adulthood. The study underscores the need to support adolescents and young adults in cultivating healthy digital sexual cultures and interpersonal relationships.

Dec 15th 2023, 07:29

Abstract

Background

      Symptom-based diagnostic formulations significantly influence psychological treatment; however, they are not without limitations. Employing a transdiagnostic approach may address these shortcomings. For transdiagnosis to gain wider acceptance, it is crucial to establish a meaningful connection between transdiagnostic measures and symptom expression. Two potential transdiagnostic measures, the Event Characteristics Questionnaire (ECQ) and the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Needs Frustration Scale (BPNSNFS), were identified based on theories of psychopathology. The present study investigated whether the unique within-person characteristics assessed by each scale could indicate symptom expression over time.

Method
Online questionnaires were completed by 290 international participants (86% female) who had experienced a significant event within the past 12 months. The measures included the ECQ, BPNSNFS, and clinical assessments of depression, anxiety, and anger.

Results
Results indicated that only the BPNSNFS demonstrated a meaningful connection with symptom expression. A cross-lagged structural analysis revealed that participants experiencing higher levels of needs frustration reported higher levels of depression and anger. Conversely, those reporting higher levels of needs satisfaction reported lower levels of depression and anxiety.

Conclusions
The findings suggest that the BPNSNFS can serve as a valuable transdiagnostic tool to enhance the delivery of measure-based care. Further research should continue to explore the clinical role of basic psychological needs.

Dec 15th 2023, 06:36

Abstract
Behavioral activation and experiential avoidance are considered closely related transdiagnostic constructs. Decreases in behavioral activation and increases in avoidance are both thought to play a role in the maintenance of emotional disorder symptoms. Using a series of random intercept cross-lagged panel models, this study examined the temporal relations between change in behavioral activation, experiential avoidance, and anxiety symptoms during outpatient administration of the Unified Protocol. Between-person results demonstrated that greater avoidance was associated with lower activation, and more severe anxiety symptoms were associated with both greater avoidance and lower activation. Within-person results suggested that improvements in avoidance tended to predict increased activation and decreased anxiety symptoms. Changes in activation did not substantially predict changes in avoidance or anxiety. Overall, these results provide preliminary information on the timing of important therapeutic processes and may shed light on how clinicians should prioritize targets.

Dec 15th 2023, 05:34

Abstract
Concerns about physical appearance are a salient feature of several psychiatric conditions, and various self-report-based measures of appearance concerns have been developed for different disorders. An important question, with implications for understanding comorbidity and processes underlying it, is whether these different measures may in fact be indexing a common construct. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a large mixed-sex undergraduate sample (N = 704), the current study found evidence for a higher-order factor accounting for substantial shared variance in measures of appearance concerns devised for use with eating disorders, social anxiety disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder. Hierarchical mediation analyses revealed that this general factor accounted for much of the variance shared between each appearance concerns measure and scale-assessed symptoms of its affiliated disorder. Additionally, the general appearance concerns factor accounted for most of the variance in a shared disorder factor representing the comorbidity among eating, social anxiety, and body dysmorphic symptoms. Collectively, these findings suggest that appearance concerns are general and transdiagnostic rather than disorder specific and may contribute to the systematic comorbidity evident among appearance-related psychopathologies.

Abstract
In the present qualitative study, we used self-presentation theory to examine how women from marginalized communities in India engage in self-presentation. Using semi-structured interviews of 18 Dalit women, including two Dalit transwomen, we explore factors shaping their self-presentation motivations and behavior. While most self-presentation research has focused on audience-pleasing motives, the current study is focused on self-construction motives. Using a grounded theory approach, we identify and explicate four themes: independent voices and bold choices, building solidarity through empathy and social capital, discriminatory practices and labeling, and mental wellbeing and self-care under discrimination. The narratives highlight the strategies these Dalit women and Dalit transwomen adopt to construct and present an authentic self in a complex and negotiated Dalit and Dalit trans activism space. Findings have implications for creating diversity awareness where a narrow understanding of intersectionality prevails, ensuring recognition of independent political expression and visibility of Dalit women and Dalit transwomen and the challenges thereof. These findings can inform policymakers, activists, and social workers on the changing psychosocial dynamics in the activism space and re-examine its structure and process.

Dec 15th 2023, 03:29

Abstract

Background
Former studies demonstrated that negative outcome expectations (OE) toward psychotherapy predict unfavorable psychotherapy outcomes. Critically, the measurement of OE is limited to direct measures that could be subject to self-presentational distortions. This study aimed to validate an online single category implicit association test (SC-IAT) to measure OE toward psychotherapy indirectly.

Methods
We conducted three direct measures of OE, the Therapy SC-IAT, and a (control) Flower SC-IAT in a large sample (N = 705).

Results
The Therapy SC-IAT correlated with most direct measures of OE (convergent validity) but not with measures of flower associations (discriminant validity). In exploratory analyses, we found that direct and indirect measurements of OE were related to prior experiences with psychotherapy.

Conclusion
We discuss ways to improve the indirect-direct correlations and suggest that our newly developed indirect measure could complement the assessment of expectations in research and clinical practice.

Dec 15th 2023, 02:28

Abstract
Full-Service Sex Workers (FSSWs) face heightened risk of acquiring HIV, yet exhibit relatively low adoption of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)—an antiviral that substantially reduces HIV acquisition risk. Little work examines barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake willingness among FSSWs. This study aimed to identify the distinct components of barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake willingness for FSSWs. Here, we subjected 19 PrEP barriers and facilitators identified in the literature to a principal component analysis (PCA) among a sample of 83 FSSWs. Preliminary statistics supported factorability of data. PCA revealed three distinct components of barriers and facilitators that explained 62.80% of the total variance in survey responses. We labeled these components Behavioral and Social Concerns (α = 0.93), Access and Affordability (α = 0.67), and Biologically Based Health Concerns (α = 0.79). This study shows promise for future clinical and research utility of these factors and provides a basis for future psychometric studies of barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake willingness among FSSWs.

Dec 15th 2023, 01:28

Abstract
In this qualitative study, we explored the challenges that transgender and gender non-confirming (TGNC) individuals face in South Korea. For this, we conducted in-depth interviews with 14 South Korean TGNC younger adults attending colleges or graduate schools and analyzed their data through consensus qualitative research. Analyses revealed that issues related to interpersonal relationships and medical transiting were major challenges perceived by participants. Four categories emerged in the domain of challenges in interpersonal relationships, including issues associated with family, romantic partner, coming out and outing, and transphobia and cisnormativity. In addition, two categories (i.e., medical difficulties and physical appearance-related distress) were included in the domain of challenges related to medical transition. Unique sources of stress for South Korean TGNC younger adults included high risk of being outed due to Korean resident registration numbers, dissatisfaction with bodily changes when transitioning, and misgendering caused by Korean’s different honorific titles depending on gender.

Practice Innovations, Vol 8(4), Dec 2023, 265-276; doi:10.1037/pri0000209
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people experience various minority stressors that drive health disparities. In the face of this marginalization, therapy may be helpful to manage these stressors and promote well-being. For some TGD people, they also may need to interact with mental health providers in order to gain access to gender-affirming medical procedures. As such, it is not unusual for mental health providers to have TGD clients at some point in their careers. Even so, there is little graduate training about working with TGD clients, which can result in providers being underprepared to work with TGD communities in affirming ways. Many TGD people report experiencing microaggressions or worse on the part of providers and even those who claim to be affirming may not be taking the steps needed to create a safe clinical context for care. This presents an important training point for graduate programs as well given that many of the professors or clinic staff may not have received the necessary training either. In this manuscript, we detail a summary of existing best practices for affirming mental health services with TGD clients that were informed by existing literature, community input, and clinical practice. These specific actions span from paperwork, to the clinical space, and specifics of interactions with clients. By carrying out these actions, providers will be able to live out their commitment to affirmation of TGD people. We also provide guidance for graduate programs to ensure that future generations of therapists are better trained in these areas. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
