Nov 26th 2023, 11:33

Abstract
Children are disproportionately represented amongst missing people in the United States. Search campaigns target adults to search for missing children, but age biases in face recognition may affect adults’ efficacy at sighting missing children. We hypothesized that own-age biases in children (7–9 years; N = 105) and adults (18–30 years; N = 108) would affect their ability to sight children and adults. Participants completed a prospective person memory task with a simultaneous ongoing task to simulate multi-tasking while searching for missing people. Both child and adult participants were more accurate at sighting missing adults than missing children. Adults exhibited an own-age bias. Adult participants were more accurate at sightings than child participants. In conclusion, adults were better suited to search for missing people of all ages than children, and this pattern of results may be impacted by experience with faces.

Nov 26th 2023, 10:33

Abstract
Exposure to hate speech (HS) leads to desensitization of listeners. Yet, most evidence of this process has been obtained using self-report measures. In this paper, we examined desensitization to HS using an unobtrusive, psychophysiological measure. In an experimental electrocardiogram study (N = 56), we observed heart rate (HR) deceleration after reading comments that contained HS. This suggested a substantive psychophysiological reaction of participants to hateful comments. However, such HR deceleration was not observed among participants preexposed to HS. People exposed to hateful comments thus appeared to show different HR responses to HS compared to people who were not previously exposed to such comments. Consequently, not only does frequent exposure to HS influence an individual’s beliefs as observed in earlier studies, but it also impacts psychophysiological reactions to derogatory language.

Nov 26th 2023, 09:16

Abstract

Background
Postpartum depression (PPD) is considered an important public health problem, and early recognition of PPD in pregnant and lactating women is critical. This study investigated the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward PPD among pregnant and lying-in women.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted at Binzhou Medical University Hospital between September 2022 and November 2022 and included pregnant and lying-in women as study participants. A questionnaire was designed by the researchers that included demographic data and knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions. Correlations between knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Factors associated with practice scores were identified by multivariable logistic regression.

Results
All participants scored 6.27 ± 2.45, 36.37 ± 4.16, and 38.54 ± 7.93 93 from three sub-dimensions of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding PPD, respectively, with statistical differences in the three scores by age, education, and job status (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between maternal (6.24 ± 2.34, 36.67 ± 3.82 and 38.31 ± 7.27, respectively) and pregnant women (6.30 ± 2.49, 36.00 ± 4.53 and 38.83 ± 8.69, respectively) in the total scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions. According to the results of multivariate logistic regression, the knowledge (OR = 1.235[1.128–1.353], P < 0.001) and attitude (OR = 1.052[1.005–1.102], P = 0.030) dimension scores were factors influencing the practice dimension scores.

Conclusion
The KAP of pregnant and lying-in women toward PPD is low. This study suggests that maternal awareness of PPD should be increased through the knowledge and attitudinal dimensions. Preventing PPD in pregnant and lying-in women can be achieved by improving both dimensions, thus enhancing practice.

Nov 26th 2023, 07:31

Abstract
This study investigated the relative efficacy of Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) and United Protocol (UP) in reducing symptoms of psychopathy and emotion dysregulation in a sample of Iranian community residents with concurrent diagnoses of antisocial and borderline personality disorders (PDs). Interpersonal, affective, and lifestyle features of psychopathy were measured post-treatment and at 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, and 36-months follow-up using the 13-item version of the Psychopathy Revised-Checklist (PCL-R), which excluded, by design, criminal history features. Emotion dysregulation was measured using the Deficits in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) developed by Gratz and Roemer (2004). After treatment, both UP- and MBT-treated individuals showed significantly fewer features of psychopathy and significantly less emotion dysregulation. Compared with those treated with MBT, UP-treated individuals showed significantly less emotion dysregulation in all DERS subscales and a greater reduction in psychopathy features, particularly affective features. It is suggested that this likely reflected the particular emphasis placed by UP on improving emotional self-regulation and facilitating the therapeutic alliance. These results suggest that, despite the traditional pessimism that surrounds psychopathic individuals’ treatability, they can be successfully treated.

Nov 26th 2023, 07:19

Qualitative Health Research, Ahead of Print. Refugees and immigrants have experienced heightened health inequities related to COVID-19. As community-embedded frontline health personnel, refugee and immigrant community health workers (riCHWs) played essential roles in the provision of informational, instrumental, and emotional support during the unprecedented first year of the pandemic. Despite the importance of this workforce, riCHWs are at high risk for burnout due to low recognition and demanding workloads. This was exacerbated as riCHWs navigated a new and uncertain health delivery landscape. We sought to glean insight into riCHWs’ stressors, coping strategies and resources, and self-efficacy to identify ways to support their work and wellbeing. Using a narrative inquiry approach, we conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 11 riCHWs working in a midsized city in the midwestern United States. We generated three distinct yet interrelated themes: (1) Rapid and trustworthy information is key, (2) Creativity and perseverance are good … structural support is better, and (3) Integrating riCHW expertise into health promotion programming and decision-making. Although riCHWs were deeply committed to enhancing community wellbeing, quickly shifting responsibilities in tandem with structural-level health inequities diminished their self-efficacy and mental health. riCHWs relied on work-based friends/colleagues for informational and emotional support to enhance their capacity to deliver services. Findings suggest increasing opportunities for peer support and idea-exchange, professional development, and integration of riCHW expertise in health promotion decision-making are effective strategies to enhance riCHWs’ professional self-efficacy and personal wellbeing.

Nov 26th 2023, 06:36

Abstract
Objectives
Evidence shows paediatric critical care (PCC) nurses display high rates of burnout, moral distress, symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and poor well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic magnified these pressures producing extremely challenging working conditions. The objective was to understand PCC nurses’ lived experience of working during COVID-19 to determine the impact it had on their well-being.
Design
A qualitative design was used with individual, semi-structured online interviews analysed using thematic analysis.
Results
Ten nurses from six PCC units in England participated. Five themes were generated: (i) Challenges of working in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), (ii) Adapting to redeployment to adult intensive care, (iii) Changes to staff working relationships, (iv) Being unable to attain work-life balance and (v) Unprocessed traumatic experiences of working in COVID-19. It was clear COVID-19 presented novel challenges to PCC nurses’ well-being. With those came enforced changes in practice; some were temporary, for example use of PPE and redeployment, but others provided insight into the prerequisites for good staff well-being, for example strong professional relationships, work–life balance and managing one’s psychological health.
Conclusions
Findings show authentic connections between peers, verbal and non-verbal communication and a sense of belonging were crucial to nurses’ well-being. A dent in PCC nurses’ perceived competence significantly affected their well-being. Finally, staff need a psychologically safe space to process distress and trauma experienced during COVID-19. Future research needs to test evidence-based, theoretically-informed well-being interventions to improve and maintain PCC nurses’ well-being.

Nov 26th 2023, 05:33

Abstract
People often close themselves off to novel ideas without giving them adequate consideration. By doing so, they possibly miss out on important advantages these ideas may bring. One strategy that appears to effectively reduce such resistance involves self-affirming techniques, which aim to bolster one’s self-concept by focusing on values of the self which are unrelated to the persuasion topic. The current study focuses on a new aspect that may be essential to increase its effectiveness, so-called “processing-related self-affirmations” which are related to how a person processes a message. We investigated the effect of processing-related self-affirmations on resistance to persuasion. Nonvegetarian participants were asked to apply a processing-related self-affirmation, an unrelated self-affirmation, or no self-affirmation before reading a scientific report about the merits of vegetarianism. Results showed participants were, depending on the weekly amount of meat consumed, more favorable toward the report after being affirmed on an unrelated value compared with participants who were not self-affirmed, but no similar effect was found for processing-related self-affirmations. We cautiously show that relatedness and compatibility with the persuasion domain may not be the only factors influencing this effect, and include relatedness of self-affirmations to the processing of the persuasive message as a possible new factor.

Nov 26th 2023, 04:29

Abstract
Inappropriate prosodic production, or features of speech, is an often observed but rarely treated communication skill deficit in individuals with autism. Expanding on previous literature, we conducted a functional analysis (FA) on the voice volume responses (VVRs) of two children with autism spectrum disorder utilizing similar procedures to those of Edgerton and Wine. Then, we evaluated the efficacy of visual feedback from an app and a function-based treatment to decrease loud VVRs and increase appropriate VVRs. Results of the FA indicated loud VVRs were maintained by social negative reinforcement for one participant and by both social negative and automatic reinforcement for another. For one participant, the intervention decreased the use of loud VVRs and increased appropriate VVRs. For the other participant, the results of the intervention were inconclusive. Implications of conducting functional analyses and behavioral interventions to treat inappropriate voice volume are discussed.

Nov 26th 2023, 03:26

Abstract
A growing body of literature suggests that ‘intercultural education’ is an important tool for transformative learning about oneself and the other. Yet little is known about the challenges and opportunities of intercultural education in practice, particularly in light of an increasing focus in Western education policy on testing and standardisation. This article uses ethnographic and focus group research in an ethnically diverse secondary school in East London to empirically explore the opportunities and challenges of intercultural education in practice. It highlights similarities between the concept of intercultural education and Martin Buber’s theory of the ‘I−Thou’ encounter, suggesting that this dialogical relation has the potential to transform stereotypes and develop personhood. The research findings show how teachers at the East London secondary school employed dialogical techniques to encourage critical perspectives among their students and to cultivate their trust, a key element of I−Thou encounter. The findings also, however, draw attention to the deleterious impact of the marketised education paradigm on the dialogical relation, demonstrating how a policy focus on attainment and the narrow national curriculum limit opportunities for dialogue in the classroom and erode trust between teacher and student. The article argues that there is a clear and urgent imperative for change within the Western education system if Buber’s dialogical pedagogy is to bear fruit and transformative learning is to take place.

This article addresses the way that humanitarian conditioning continues in the lives of refugees after receiving asylum in Europe while also highlighting the perspective of refugees as they experience official and informal processes of integration. The ways the rhetoric of suffering must be invoked at various times throughout the asylum process are well documented. Less attention, however, has been paid to how asylum recipients in Europe continue to navigate these structures. Drawing on over 20 months of ethnographic research in Paris, France, this article explores the way that these resettled Syrian refugees encounter the rhetoric of suffering and other asylum structures in their everyday lives as an ongoing form of humanitarian conditioning. Through a focus on capabilities and aspirations, this article ultimately reveals how resettled refugees navigate this humanitarian conditioning to carve out lives and create new trajectories of integration in the wake of asylum in France.

Nov 26th 2023, 02:44

Abstract
Motivation
You need not look far to read stories extolling the virtues, promises, and achievements of aid to the Pacific, but such stories are far from lived experience or empirical reality. There are other often silenced stories, stories that need to be heard. They speak of broken promises and obfuscation, oppressive bureaucratic conditions, and private contractors competing for profit off the back of the Pacific’s poor and vulnerable people.
Purpose
This article seeks to uncover something of the true character of aid, how it has changed (over the past decade) and how donors, their intermediaries, and Pacific recipients have responded.
Methods and approach
We use our ethnographic and auto-ethnographic insights to explore repressed stories; insights drawn from seven decades of collective experiences and observations of Australian aid, Australia being the region’s largest and most significant donor.
Findings
We see three clear shifts in Australian aid over the last decade: (1) aid has become more politicized, deployed to support Australian interests; (2) aid has been increasingly privatized as much of the aid has been spent through four large Australian and international corporations—with local Pacific companies marginalized; and (3) aid has been increasingly contested by the peoples of the Pacific.
Such changes have encouraged donors to tighten their grip on power. They have encouraged intermediaries to act as their agents, performing high levels of “interpretive labour.” They compete for donor custom and favour.
Recipients of aid have been left with few options: they can comply with donors, thanking them for their generosity. They may resent the way they have been stripped of agency, perhaps looking to China for a different relationship.
Aid of this character is not development. Rather, it is an unchecked donor-driven system, beset by excessive power and control to benefit the system and its agents. Such aid may result in some success, but it systematically fails to empower Pacific agency and to reduce aid dependency.
Policy implications
A magnitude of change is required. We recommend more space for reflection on the lived experience of aid and on those generative, transformative initiatives occurring outside the aid system.
We urge recipients of aid to take responsibility for development; to demand reform to see platitudes around listening, respect, and partnership become something more than words on a page; to ensure aid invests in long-term development aligned to Pacific plans and priorities on Pacific terms—or to reject aid outright.

Nov 26th 2023, 02:28

Abstract
Recent innovation research in the public sector demonstrates the advantages of collaborative innovation, but also recognizes the complex character of collaborative innovation processes. These complexities might both stimulate and hinder collaborative innovation. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of empirical data from 19 public–private innovation partnerships (PPIs) in five European Countries, we show how particular types of complexity leadership (i.e., generative leadership and administrative leadership) act on these complexities in PPIs to produce highly innovative services. The results show that small partnerships use generative leadership in the presence of network complexities, and administrative leadership in the absence of network complexities to produce highly innovative services. However, large partnerships only use generative leadership, while abandoning administrative leadership, to produce highly innovative services. These findings bring about theoretical and practical insights as to how various forms of complexity leadership might be employed in varying contexts of partnership complexity.
