Aug 17th 2024, 13:33

Abstract
Social behaviors are guided in part by motivational and emotional responses to affective facial expressions. In daily life, facial expressions communicate varying degrees social reward signals (happiness), social threat signals (anger), or social reward-threat conflict signals (co-occurring happiness and anger). Thus, motivational and emotional responses must be sensitive to variations in social signal intensity to effectively guide social behavior. We recently developed a novel social approach-avoidance paradigm (SAAP), which uses morphed facial expressions to assess sensitivity to linear increases in social reward and/or social threat intensity. Prior to large-scale studies validating the test quality of the SAAP, however, it is necessary to first establish the psychometric properties and generalizability of these sensitivity metrics. In Study 1, we independently replicated SAAP task effects and demonstrated that motivational and emotional sensitivity measures exhibit strong psychometric properties and robust individual variability. In Study 2, we demonstrated that more complex social judgements (e.g., trustworthiness) are also sensitive to linear increases in social signal intensity, which differs across judgements. Although future research in larger samples will be needed to establish the test quality of the SAAP, these preliminary findings suggest that the SAAP exhibits adequate psychometric properties to justify this type of large-scale individual differences research.

Aug 17th 2024, 12:36

Abstract
As the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus spread across the world, countries took drastic measures to counter the disease by requiring their citizens to home self-isolate i.e., lockdown. While it was not known how young people would cope with the social distancing restrictions, there was concern that the lockdown would have a debilitating effect on youth mental health. This study examined whether there was an association between adolescent subjective wellbeing and the amount of time spent in lockdown. Global Research Alliance researchers in 15 countries collected data using the Mental Health Continuum (Keyes in Am J Orthopsych 76:395–402, 2006) from over 7000 middle-school students aged 11–18. Findings show a decline in eudemonic wellbeing, particularly among females during the first 6 months of lockdown, which was most strongly associated with diminished psychological wellbeing, followed by social wellbeing, while emotional wellbeing remained relatively stable. An adaptation effect was noted after approximately 6 months. There was evidence suggesting females were slower to adapt to lockdown conditions compared to males. More attention should be paid to the wellbeing of students in lockdown to overcome languishing tendencies and educators should be cognizant of diminished student wellbeing, particularly among females, when students return to school. Positive school experiences, and positive relationships within the school community, may assist in reducing the risk of languishing in lockdown conditions, so schools should design interactive online activities for off-campus learning.

Aug 17th 2024, 10:34

Abstract
How do performance incentives impact subjective experiences of mental effort? Incentives may offset the costs of effort expenditure, resulting in reduced feelings of effort. Or they could lead to an increase in effort expenditure and a corresponding increase in feelings of effort. We tested the influence of incentives on experiences of effort, fatigue, and affect in a series of four experiments (N = 894). Participants completed a mentally challenging task (an n-back task) under conditions of a monetary incentive for good performance or no incentive, manipulated in both within-subjects and between-subjects experimental designs. Results revealed that incentives increased feelings of mental effort, especially in within-subjects designs. Incentives also increased pleasant affect and reduced fatigue, especially in between-subjects designs. One implication of these findings is that incentives for good performance increase mental effort and task engagement without increasing aversive affective states.

In her new book, Disabled Ecologies, Sunaura Taylor finds both overlap and tension between disability studies and environmental justice. She grew up with the understanding that her own disability came from contaminated groundwater on the south side of Tucson, where her family had moved when her mother was pregnant with her. Military contractors—particularly Hughes Aircraft, which later merged with Raytheon, now called RTX—had dumped toxic waste into unlined lagoons; the area was eventually designated as a Superfund site.

Aug 17th 2024, 09:39

Abstract
Objective: Most studies of the DSM-5 proposed non-suicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) have focused on documenting its prevalence, associated features, and evaluating the validity of the criteria. There is scant data assessing the temporal course, or onset and offset, of NSSID. This study examined the course of NSSID and each criterion over a one-year period. Method: Data were obtained from 171 young adults (mean age = 18.79; 84% women, 92% White, 37% in treatment) with past year NSSI engagement (mean frequency = 12.47, SD = 20.9) who completed a minimum of two, out of three, waves of data collection. Participants completed the Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Disorder Scale along with demographic measures at baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. Results: Over a third of participants met NSSID criteria at each time point, with moderate persistence (K = 0.42 to 0.46). Chi-square tests revealed significant onset and offset patterns of NSSID and among select criteria. Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that meeting the criterion A (frequency of NSSI) and criterion E (impairment) thresholds at baseline were the only meaningful predictors of diagnostic status at 6- and 12-month follow-up. Limitations: The use of self-report measures and having a homogenous sample restrict generalizability of the findings. Conclusions: Meeting NSSID criteria appears to persist over time, but only 2 of the 6 criteria may be relevant to diagnostic status across time. Further research on the temporal course, reliability, and clinical validity of the proposed disorder, especially within diverse clinically severe, populations is greatly needed.

Aug 17th 2024, 08:35

Abstract
The FRIENDS Resilience programs provide cognitive-behavioral skills across the developmental spectrum and can be applied as a universal or selective prevention program. In the current study, we assessed whether, relative to the schools’ existing counseling curriculum (“guidance”), FRIENDS improved social skills, problem behaviors, and academic competence in a sample of 650 students in kindergarten, 2nd, 5th, and 7th grade in a rural community in the northeastern United States. Student, parent, and teacher reports were obtained pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 4 months later. Analyses examined FRIENDS as a universal prevention program in the general school population and as a selective intervention for at-risk students (those with elevated existing symptoms). Teachers reported improvements in social skills, problem behaviors, and academic competence, and parents reported improved problem behaviors immediately post-intervention for all students receiving FRIENDS and guidance. However, at-risk students who received FRIENDS experienced significantly greater improvements in teacher-reported problem behaviors compared to those who received guidance. When assessing changes over time once all students had received FRIENDS, teacher-rated social skills and academic competence improved, and student- and parent-rated problem behaviors decreased from pre- to post-FRIENDS and 4-month follow-up. Effects were consistent for the overall sample and at-risk students, with stronger effects for those at-risk. These small yet significant effects of FRIENDS as universal prevention may be more limited relative to usual guidance curriculum, but preventative effects may be enhanced for those students in more immediate need of support. Directions for future evaluation of FRIENDS are discussed.

Aug 17th 2024, 07:36

Abstract
Siblings of children with chronic disorders are at a heightened risk for internalizing and externalizing problems. Studies on sibling mental health typically use parent report, and sometimes sibling self-report, but do not include the perspectives of teachers. We investigated how teachers and parents in Norway rated sibling mental health to gain a more coherent picture of siblings’ well-being and functioning across the home and school contexts. We compared how siblings aged 8–16 years (45% boys, 54% girls) were scored on the strengths and difficulties questionnaire by teachers (n = 125), mothers (n = 115), and fathers (n = 81) with population norms and clinical cutoffs. For boys, the mean teacher scores did not indicate problems for total difficulties or any subscale except hyperactivity–inattention, but mean parent scores were higher for total difficulties and most subscales (d = .44 to .96). For girls, teachers indicated higher than norm scores for total difficulties, emotional problems, hyperactivity–inattention and peer problems (d = .26 to .46), while parents indicated higher total difficulties and problems across most subscales (d = .31 to .54). Prosocial behavior was as a relative strength of siblings across all raters. Siblings may not display the same level of mental health problems in school as at home, and teachers can offer an important perspective on siblings’ mental health and functioning.

Aug 17th 2024, 06:36

Abstract
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale – Revised (CESD-R) is a popular self-report screening measure for depression. A 20-item questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 4 for each item, the CESD-R can produce total scores ranging from 0 to 80. However, the typical scoring protocol for the CESD-R restricts the range of possible scores to between 0 and 60 to retain the same range and clinical cutoff scores as the original CES-D. Despite the widespread adoption of this scoring approach, the psychometric impact has never been systematically examined. In an undergraduate and community adult sample (n = 869), item response theory analyses indicated that scoring the CESD-R with all 5 response options (CESD-R5opt) provided nearly twice as much information about a person’s latent depression for individuals with high levels of depression than did scoring the CESD-R with 4 response options per item (CESD-R4opt). The CESD-R5opt retained the strong reliability and factor structure of the CESD-R4opt and was more sensitive to individual differences for participants at high levels of depression compared to the CESD-R4opt. Results provide preliminary evidence that researchers and clinicians should score the CESD-R using the full 0-to-80 scale and a clinical cutoff score of 29.

Aug 17th 2024, 05:36

Abstract
This study investigates smartphone addiction prevalence among Tunisian middle school students and its associations with sleep quality, fatigue, cognitive functioning, and academic achievement. Using structured interviews, we collected demographic data, grade point averages, and phone usage details from 1015 students aged 14–16. Participants also completed the smartphone addiction scale: short version (SAS-SV), fatigue assessment scale (FAS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and cognitive failures questionnaire (CFQ). The results categorized 85.1% as “normal smartphone users” (NSUs) and 14.9% as “problematic smartphone users” (PSUs). Troublingly, higher SAS-SV scores correlated with poorer sleep quality, increased fatigue, and impaired cognitive functioning. Lower academic achievement was also associated with elevated SAS-SV scores. Though the percentage of addicted students seems modest, addressing smartphone addiction in Tunisian middle schools is crucial due to its associations with various psycho-physiological and cognitive impairments, underscoring the need for intervention strategies.

Aug 17th 2024, 05:32

Abstract
To guide school practitioners in the identification and intervention of youth with anxious school refusal, this systematic review used an ecological lens to examine the factors that differentiated children and adolescents with school refusal from those without. Based on the rigorous protocol from the Center for Reviews and Dissemination’s (CRD) internationally recognized guidelines, 15 studies examining 67 different factors were identified. Results reveal 44 individual, social and contextual factors that differentiate youth with school refusal from peers without school refusal. Findings highlight the centrality of anxiety, or anxiety-related symptoms, and diverse learning needs as main points of contrast between youth with school refusal and those without. Implications of an ecological understanding of the factors associated with school refusal for selective and indicative prevention by school and mental health practitioners are discussed.

Aug 17th 2024, 04:54

Abstract
In January 2023, the European Commission presented a plan to increase the number of return migrants who return to countries outside the European Union (EU), after having fled their countries of origin due to war, political conflict, and the socio-economic consequences of such conflicts. This plan is supported by the EU and the UNHCR adoption of repatriation, or the right of displaced peoples to return to their country of origin, as the preferred solution to the migration crisis. This preference has been in effect since 1996, despite a significant body of research which substantiates that repatriation is not sustainable. To address the discrepancy between existing evidence and the adoption of repatriation as a sustainable solution, this study was grounded in a postcolonial and transnational feminist framework and used critical discourses analysis to explore the forced repatriation of Kosovars. Kosova offers an important case study on repatriation as it has one of the highest numbers of returnees per capita. In addition, considering that migration is a gendered process, this study included interviews with 15 return migrant women and 18 social service providers in Kosovo who support return migrants. Findings suggest that, contrary to the UNHCR assumption that repatriation is voluntary, most return migrant interviewees were forced to return, and many had their human rights violated during the return process. Interviews with service providers give insight into the dilemmas that social workers face when working with returnees whose rights have been violated. The article discusses the difficulties social workers in Kosova face when trying to uphold the social work commitment to social justice. Although centered on Kosovo, the study’s implications are important for social workers practicing anywhere, as practice with people who migrate is an increasing occurrence within social work, and we need to be better prepared to navigate the dilemmas we face.

Mpox is caused by a virus in the same family as smallpox, a virus that was declared eradicated in 1980. The virus, which is believed to be carried by small rodents in some countries in Africa, causes painful scarring rashes when contracted by people. People with mpox can also experience fever, muscle aches, headaches, and respiratory symptoms. The infection is especially dangerous in young children — most mpox deaths occur in young children — and people with compromised immune systems.

Aug 17th 2024, 03:33

Abstract

Objectives
Mindfulness is a proven therapeutic practice for reducing anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, which are factors that influence the success of hip/knee replacement surgery. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of mindfulness bibliotherapy in rehabilitation on anxiety, depression, and health status. The objective was to determine whether there is a connection between the level of mindfulness before rehabilitation and the health status after rehabilitation.

Method
Ninety-three patients (M age = 63.34, SD = 10.49) from an outpatient rehabilitation clinic participated in the study. Forty-three patients were included in the mindfulness bibliotherapy group, and 45 were included in the waitlist control group. Anxiety, depression (both measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), quality of life (measured with the SF-36), and walking ability (measured with the Timed “Up and Go”-Test), as well as orthopedic measurements and dispositional mindfulness, were measured before and after the intervention. A follow-up measurement was carried out 4 weeks after the end of rehabilitation.

Results
A significant interaction effect between test time (pre- and post-test) and group (mindfulness bibliotherapy and waitlist control group) was detected for the measurement of Anxiety. The Anxiety score decreased in the intervention group from the pre-test to the post-test and the follow-up. In addition, the five subscales of dispositional mindfulness, age, and gender predicted mental health status (measured with the mental health scale of the SF-36) at the end of rehabilitation, F(7, 85) = 2.52, p = 0.021, even though no individual predictor reached significance.

Conclusions
Mindfulness diary practice can be a helpful therapy approach to support patients and to regain the goal of full capacity for working life and everyday life after surgery. Further studies need to investigate more intensively the relationships between the mode of action of mindfulness interventions in the setting of orthopedic rehabilitation.

Aug 17th 2024, 03:32

Abstract

Purpose
The struggle with sense of self has a fundamental impact on health and wellbeing in people with chronic pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) particularly includes a process related to sense of self, called self-as-context (SAC). A measure of SAC, called the Self Experiences Questionnaire-8 (SEQ-8) has been developed in people with chronic pain. A brief version of the SEQ can facilitate more efficient assessment in clinical settings, and further research using intensive assessment to produce situation and time-sensitive information on SAC. The aim of the study was to establish a two-item version of the SEQ.

Methods
This study used secondary analyses of data from 453 people with chronic pain.

Results
The newly validated SEQ-2 demonstrated acceptable reliability, Cronbach’s α = 0.77, and performed well in assessing SAC, with 88.6% of the variance in the SEQ-8 explained by the SEQ-2. The construct validity of the SEQ-2 was supported by its associations with other theoretically-specified processes, r = .25-0.51, p < .001. and measures of functioning, |r|=0.18-0.40, p < .001. The incremental validity of the SEQ-2 was relatively limited, |β|=0.08-0.34. Conclusions: The SEQ-2 appears to be an acceptable measure of SAC. The brief version of the SEQ can facilitate the application of individualised research methods and personalised pain treatments, informed by intensive assessment.

Aug 17th 2024, 02:33

Abstract
It has been called into question whether widely used screening instruments for child mental health can provide comparable results across countries and cultures. Socialization goals can influence whether and to what extent a parent considers a behavior to be problematic and thus might influence parental reports on their child’s behavior. We tested comparability of parental reports between native German (N = 116) and Turkish origin (N = 77) parents in Germany in an online study using a vignette approach. Parents were asked to rate the perceived problem severity of the same behavior depicted in the vignettes. We expected and found that parents of Turkish origin in Germany rate the externalizing problem behaviour depicted in the vignettes as more problematic compared to native German parents. The effect was fully mediated by parental approval of the socialization goals obedience and collectivism. We also controlled for social desirability responding and an extreme response style.

Aug 17th 2024, 01:31

Abstract
Malignant narcissism describes a personality disorder that encompasses five core components: narcissism, psychopathy, sadism, paranoia, and aggressiveness. Despite the extensive theoretical and clinical literature on malignant narcissism and its recent momentum in the popular discourse, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the syndrome. The objective of the current research is to document the associations between malignant narcissism, the Dark Tetrad (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, sadism), and paranoia using a scoring procedure for malignant narcissism based on Personality Inventory for DSM-5 facets. A comparative approach was followed, using two types of relative importance analyses—general dominance analysis and relative weight analysis—to determine the nature of the core psychopathological features of malignant narcissism. The French-Canadian version of the Revised Green et al., Paranoid Thoughts Scale was used and had to be validated prior to relative importance analyses, and showed strong psychometric properties. Results from a nonclinical sample (N = 1151) globally indicate that malignant narcissism is more strongly associated with Machiavellianism and psychopathy, followed by narcissism, and then by sadism and ideas of reference, confirming that malignant narcissism is mainly an antagonistic psychopathology. The conceptual and clinical implications of this finding are discussed.
