Dec 23rd 2023, 13:39

Abstract
Self-determination theory identifies three parenting dimensions that contribute to adolescents’ optimal development by supporting their psychological needs. This observational study examined parental need supporting (autonomy support, involvement, structure) and thwarting (control) behaviors toward their adolescent child during two tasks, namely a discussion task and a problem-solving task. Because of the variety of coding strategies available for evaluating these parental behaviors, our goal was to determine the extent to which four behavior codifications conveyed similar information about parental behaviors. These codifications were end-of-task, checklist, 5-minute intervals, and 30-second intervals. Parent-adolescent dyads (N = 42) participated in discussion and problem-solving tasks, each lasting 20 minutes. These parent-adolescent interactions were then rated by observers to evaluate the level of convergence between the four coding strategies for each of the four parenting behaviors (separately for each type of task). Except for structure, results suggest that most coding strategies substantially overlapped for most parental behaviors. Recommendations are made for researchers seeking to code these observed parental behaviors in a cost-efficient manner, without compromising the quality of their measures.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/pmh-1597/) Effectiveness of compassion‐focused therapy for self‐criticism in patients with personality disorders: a multiple baseline case series study
Dec 23rd 2023, 13:31

Abstract
Objective
Targeting self-criticism, the tendency to negatively evaluate and judge aspects of oneself, may improve treatment efficacy for personality disorders (PDs). This study aimed to test whether adding 12-week group compassion-focused therapy (CFT) that explicitly targets self-criticism to treatment as usual (TAU) would reduce self-criticism in patients with PDs.
Method
Twelve patients with PDs participated in a multiple baseline study, randomly allocated to different baseline lengths. The primary outcome was twice-weekly assessed self-critical beliefs during baseline, treatment, and follow-up phases. Secondary outcomes were self-criticism, self-compassion, and PD severity at the end of CFT and follow-up (trial registered: NL8131).
Nine participants completed the intervention. No significant changes were observed during CFT, but at follow-up significant decrease in self-critical beliefs (Cohen’s d = −0.43; 95% CI = −0.73 to −0.12) was reported compared to baseline. On secondary outcomes, most participants showed reliable improvement on self-reported criticism (66.7%) and self-compassion (55.6%), and a minority of patients showed reliable improvement in PD severity (33.3%).
Conclusions
This study seems to provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of 12-week CFT for self-critical beliefs in patients with PDs compared to TAU. CFT for self-criticism in PDs may complement treatment offerings and warrant further research.

Dec 23rd 2023, 08:23

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the transfer of meaning in equivalence classes under contextual control. Adult participants were exposed to relational training and testing to establish equivalence relations between facial expressions of fear (A1) and happiness (A2) and nonsense stimuli (C1 and C2). The equivalence relations were under contextual control. Thus, in Context 1, C1 was equivalent to A1 (fear), and C2 was equivalent to A2 (happy); in Context 2, the relations between A and C stimuli were reversed (i.e., A1(fear) was equivalent to C2 and A2(happy) was equivalent to C1). The meaning of C1 and C2 stimuli under Context 1 and 2 were assessed using a semantic differential. As predicted, the meaning of C stimuli depended on the context in which they were presented and cohered with the equivalence relations established in those contexts. We conclude that the semantic differential is an instrument that captures context-dependent meaning (functions).

Dec 23rd 2023, 06:46

Abstract

Purpose
Children who experience Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) draw on a range of strategies to manage the complex dynamics of family life. This article explored children’s experiences of their relationships with pets and other animals, considering how children understood these relationships.

Methods
This qualitative study is based on semi-structured interviews and visual methods-based research with 22 children (aged 9–17), drawn from a larger study on how children cope with DVA. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Findings
Five themes are discussed: Part of the family explores how children positioned animals as relational beings who occupied an important place in their lives; caring for animals considers the reciprocal caring relationship children described; listening and support details how children interacted with animals to allow themselves to feel more heard and supported; in the theme control and abuse, we consider children’s experiences of perpetrators’ use of companion animals as part of a pattern of abuse and control; and in disruption, uncertainty and loss, we discuss how children feel and relate to their animals when leaving situations of domestic abuse.

Conclusions
The implications of our analysis are considered in relation to providing support for children impacted by domestic abuse, and the importance of ensuring companion animals are provided for in housing policy and planning for domestic abuse survivors.

Dec 23rd 2023, 06:41

Abstract
The theme for World Social Work Day (WSWD) 2017 focused on “promoting environmental and community sustainability.” The day celebrated and promoted all the actions related to this theme in which social workers are engaged. The WSWD slogan reiterated the third pillar of the Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development, developed by three international social work bodies, and was aligned with the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. The connection between the two agendas is connected to human rights and highlights the need for some theoretical and methodological reflections to deepen the understanding of sustainable development with the aim of identifying and analyzing the foundations of social work education and practice in this field of action. This article presents background information that allows an understanding of the specific importance of social work in the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Curricular planning in social work education should be properly aligned with the SDGs to equip students with the skills and competencies necessary to work with target communities. Incorporating the SDGs into the professional curriculum of social work, as well as creating pedagogical tools to connect with new target groups, should create better opportunities for social workers to enhance their professional activities. As a specific reference, a Chilean experience is presented that demonstrates how the SDGs allow for the implementation of community empowerment strategies and policy advocacy at the local level.

Dec 23rd 2023, 04:44

Abstract
Being part of a committed and satisfying relationship is frequently cited as one of the most deeply held values of both men and women in the United States and other Westernized countries. Moreover, relationship infidelity is cited as a frequent cause of dissatisfaction and the termination of committed relationships (Bravo et al. Emerging Adulthood, 5(4), 230–240, 2017). Antecedent self-control strategies, such as avoiding arousing events with nonpartners and self-control strategies like practicing mindfulness to increase sensitivity to temporally extended contingencies of infidelity could serve an abative function that reduces the probability of infidelity. In the present study, we evaluated multiple contextual factors in a randomized control trial design. Participants completed a probability discounting task developed by the experimenters under the hypothetical situation of being in a relationship differing in satisfaction, where they chose to cheat or not cheat on their partner as a function of the subjective attractiveness of the nonpartner and the probability of getting caught by their current partner. Half of the participants then completed the same task after watching a 5-min arousing scene from a movie based on a preference assessment, while the other participants completed 5 min of guided meditation. Results showed that the overall probability of infidelity was greater with lower relationship satisfaction. Moreover, an arousing context may momentarily increase probability discounting whereas mindful meditation may decrease probability discounting, suggesting more research is needed in this area.

Dec 23rd 2023, 03:43

Abstract
In India, the implementation of the Bio-medical Waste Management Rules (2016) by the Government of India, notwithstanding, the safe handling, segregation, treatment, and disposal of biomedical waste have remained below acceptable global standards. India produced more than 150–200 metric tonnes of COVID-19–related biomedical waste per day during the peaks of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Healthcare sanitation workers, predominantly contracted from among socioeconomically, culturally, and politically marginalised Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes, experienced a heightened risk of hospital-acquired infections and injuries in the absence of adequate provisions of personal protective equipment and sanitation supplies. As a marginalised workforce, they continued to remain on the fringes of labour welfare legislation and occupational safety and health policies despite their enhanced risk profiles and close contact with infected waste. This paper undertook a critical analysis of the public health and safety policies, labour legislations, and human rights instruments signed by the Government of India vis-à-vis their applicability to healthcare sanitation work to assess the human and labour rights violations of this essential workforce. As the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID-19 no longer a ‘public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC)’ in May 2023, lessons on the essentiality of these occupations for public health, the systemic casteist and gendered exclusion of the workers from labour welfare, and their consequent invisibilisation in labour legislation and occupational health and safety policies are analysed to evaluate the role and scope of social work practice to safeguard and foreground their human rights and welfare.

Logistic regression model was used to describe the association between dependent and independent variables.
Result
The mean age of the study participants was 45±14.27. The prevalence of unmet physical and psychological supportive care needs was 47.3% and 71.1%, respectively. Rural residence ((adjusted OR, AOR 2.73; 95% CI (1.27 to 5.83)) and late-stage cancer ((AOR 2.95; 95% CI 1.02 to 8.52) were factors significantly associated with unmet physical supportive care need. Coexisting illness was associated with both unmet physical and psychological supportive care needs (AOR 2.73; 95% CI 1.27 to 5.83) and (AOR 2.71; 95% CI 1.16 to 6.33), respectively.
Conclusion
Nearly half of the study participants had an unmet physical supportive care need while greater than two-thirds had unmet psychological supportive care need. Residence and late-stage cancer were factors significantly associated with physical unmet supportive care need while coexisting illness was associated with both unmet physical and psychological supportive care needs. Hence, supportive care for patients with cancer should be given an emphasis and incorporated into the cancer treatment protocol.

Dec 23rd 2023, 01:41

Abstract
Measuring inequality is a challenging task, particularly when data is collected in a coarse manner. This paper proposes a new approach to measuring inequality indices that considers all possible income values and avoids arbitrary statistical assumptions. Specifically, the paper suggests that two sets of income distributions should be considered when measuring inequality, one including the highest income per individual and the other including the lowest possible income per individual. These distributions are subjected to inequality index measures, and a weighted average of these two indices is taken to obtain the final inequality index. This approach provides more accurate measures of inequality while avoiding arbitrary statistical assumptions. The paper focuses on two special cases of social welfare functions, the Atkinson index and the Gini index, which are widely used in the literature on inequality.

Dec 23rd 2023, 00:48

Abstract
Aggression can be seen as a behavior that arranges conditions that functions as aversive for other organisms. The Point Subtraction Aggression Paradigm (PSAP) is a laboratory task designed to measure this phenomenon with human participants. Different versions of the PSAP program contingencies that may differentially interfere in the measurement of aggressive behavior. This article aims to identify the contingencies embedded in these versions and to suggest areas for future investigations. The literature was systematically searched, and six PSAP versions were identified. Three of these versions have added contingencies to the aggression task that may have confounded the measure of aggression with other positive and negative reinforcement processes. The PSAP versions may be organized into one or two aggressive response options, presence or absence of control response for the responding measured as aggressive, and availability of an independent escape response. These settings potentially establish various overlapping behavioral processes. Empirical solutions are suggested to improve the analysis of aggressive and other behaviors in the task.
