Aug 18th 2024, 15:28

Abstract

Background
Rates of mental health challenges among children and youth are on the rise. Physical activity has been identified as a promising intervention to improve mental health outcomes for youth.

Objective
This study aimed to investigate how mental health clinicians perceive and utilize physical activity as a mental health intervention for children and adolescents.

Methods
Seventy-four Ontario mental health clinicians (psychologists, psychotherapists, and social workers) were surveyed about their perspectives and practices related to physical activity as part of mental health care for children and adolescents using a mixed-methods approach. Survey respondents were also asked about barriers to including physical activity in care.

Results
Although 100% of clinicians agreed that physical activity was beneficial to their own and to their clients’ mental health, only 61% reported prescribing physical activity to their clients. Barriers to prescribing physical activity as a treatment option included lack of training, time, and resources. Clinicians who were more physically active themselves were more likely to view physical activity as beneficial for mental health and were less likely to view time as a barrier to discussing and prescribing physical activity in their practice. Many clinicians expressed a need for more training, knowledge, and resources.

Conclusions
The results of this study suggest that with improved access to training and resources, clinicians will be well-positioned to leverage the benefits of physical activity for mental health in their practice.

Aug 18th 2024, 15:27

Abstract
The transition to parenthood is an exciting, yet stressful, time during which trajectories of infant outcomes, parent health, and coparenting dynamics are established. New parents often receive messaging about what “successful” parenting entails. Expectant parents may adopt rigid beliefs about parenting roles, including views that mothers are more important and “know best.” New fathers who view their parenting role as less essential may be at risk for low levels of parenting self-efficacy. This brief report examines changes in self-reports of maternal essentialism beliefs and parenting self-efficacy in first-time fathers. A community sample of first-time fathers, N = 66, completed self-report online questionnaires at the 3rd trimester and 3 months postpartum. Dependent samples t-tests were conducted to evaluate changes in maternal essentialism beliefs and parenting self-efficacy across the transition to parenthood. Bivariate correlations and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate relations between maternal essentialism and parenting self-efficacy within and across time-points. Fathers’ essentialist beliefs and parenting self-efficacy increased across the transition to parenthood. We found negative, cross-sectional associations between fathers’ maternal essentialist beliefs and parenting self-efficacy at both time points. These results underscore the importance of assessing fathers’ beliefs about parenting and parent roles as they transition to fatherhood.

Aug 18th 2024, 14:26

Abstract
To examine the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and children’s obesogenic behaviors (meeting recommendations for sleep duration and screen time) in a representative sample of U.S. children and adolescents. This study assessed data from the 2019–2020 National Survey of Children’s Health. Separate multinomial logistic regressions examined the likelihood of failing to meet sleep and screen time recommendations given individual and cumulative ACE scores. 15,581 children (48% female, 32% non-White) experienced one ACE, representing 32% of the analyzed sample. Parents reported financial hardship as the most prevalent ACE (48%). After adjusting for child race/ethnicity, sex of the child, highest education in the household, and child age, we found that participants with four or more ACEs were (1) age-specific sleep recommendations compared with participants with zero ACEs (OR 1.96; 95%CI = 1.64–2.35), and (2) more likely to fall short of meeting screen use recommendations compared with participants with zero ACEs (OR 1.61; 95%CI = 1.26–2.07). U.S. children and adolescents who have experienced four or more ACEs are significantly more likely to fall short of sleep and screen time recommendations compared to their counterparts who experienced zero ACEs. Given the strong associations between ACEs and health outcomes in adulthood, screening for ACEs may better inform practitioners when attempting to improve youth health outcomes.

Aug 18th 2024, 13:29

Abstract
This paper reviews seventy years of theoretical research and proposes systematic curiosity as an integrative tool for human flourishing with a focus on four key aspects: firstly, acknowledge curiosity’s multidimensional nature instead of harmonizing its complex taxonomy; secondly, emphasizing intentional curiosity as opposed to impulsive curiosity; thirdly, prioritizing domain-general curiosity for broader applicability across educational, organizational, and therapeutic settings; and lastly, focusing on curiosity as a developable skill rather than an innate trait. By segmenting systematic curiosity into cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components, and relating these to interactions with the self, others, and the world, the framework aims to apply across the spectrum of human experience. Furthermore, the framework encourages an exploration of various evidence-based activities for flourishing so individuals can discover the most suitable strategies for their specific context. Implications for both theory and practice are examined, limitations are discussed, and avenues for future research are suggested.

Aug 18th 2024, 12:29

Abstract
The concept of free will has challenged physicists, biologists, philosophers, and other professionals for decades. The constrained disorder principle (CDP) is a fundamental law that defines systems according to their inherent variability. It provides mechanisms for adapting to dynamic environments. This work examines the CDP’s perspective of free will concerning various free will theories. Per the CDP, systems lack intentions, and the “freedom” to select and act is built into their design. The “freedom” is embedded within the response range determined by the boundaries of the systems’ variability. This built-in and self-generating mechanism enables systems to cope with perturbations. According to the CDP, neither dualism nor an unknown metaphysical apparatus dictates choices. Brain variability facilitates cognitive adaptation to complex, unpredictable situations across various environments. Human behaviors and decisions reflect an underlying physical variability in the brain and other organs for dealing with unpredictable noises. Choices are not predetermined but reflect the ongoing adaptation processes to dynamic prssu½res. Malfunctions and disease states are characterized by inappropriate variability, reflecting an inability to respond adequately to perturbations. Incorporating CDP-based interventions can overcome malfunctions and disease states and improve decision processes. CDP-based second-generation artificial intelligence platforms improve interventions and are being evaluated to augment personal development, wellness, and health.

Aug 18th 2024, 11:29

Abstract

Purpose
As criticism of the criminalization of domestic violence (DV) has gained momentum, programs such as the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) have been developed to enhance victim safety and improve collaboration between the criminal justice system and victim service community agencies. Few studies, however, have explored practitioners’ perceptions of the LAP, particularly as it relates to collaborative efforts between victim service and law enforcement agencies. This study was interested in identifying (1) how practitioners describe the goals of the LAP, (2) practitioners’ perceptions of and experiences with LAP implementation, 2) the perceived challenges, barriers, and successes of the LAP, and 4) practitioners’ perceptions of the LAP as it relates to its promise and effectiveness in expanding beyond a strictly criminal justice response to DV.

Methods
This descriptive, qualitative case study employed 17 semi-structured interviews to explore victim advocates’ and law enforcement officers’ (LEOs) experiences with the LAP in Virginia as an example of such collaborative efforts.

Results
Findings identify challenges and successes of the program that illustrate tensions and opportunities between the criminal justice system and victim advocacy. Examples of identified challenges included language and cultural barriers, DV victims declining to participate in the LAP, and officer resistance to implementing risk assessment. Successes included connecting DV victims to services and improving their knowledge surrounding abuse. Findings also highlight intended and unintended consequences of the program.

Conclusions
Policy implications regarding the potential for collaboration efforts to diminish exclusive reliance on the criminal justice system and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Aug 18th 2024, 10:31

Abstract

Purpose
Despite the myriad benefits associated with accessing digital technologies, there has been considerable concern regarding the prevalence of digital dating abuse (DDA) in youth dating relationships. Using the resilience portfolio model (Hamby, S., Grych, J., & Banyard, V. (2018). Resilience portfolios and poly strengths: Identifying protective factors associated with thriving after adversity. Psychology of Violence, 8, 172–183. https://ifp.nyu.edu/?internalerror=true.) and digital well-being theory (Büchi, M. (2024). Digital well-being theory and research. New Media & Society, 26(1), 172–189.) as scaffolding, this paper describes survivor-centered and strengths-based advocacy approaches to support youth DDA survivors in developing digital resiliency and subjective well-being.

Methods
Using thematic content analysis, this study involved key informant interviews (n = 35) with staff at Intimate Partner Violence organizations in the United States. Data analysis involved multiple rounds of iterative coding.

Results
Five thematic domains were constructed, including affirming that survivors are not responsible for tech abuse, optimizing the benefits of digital technologies and reducing the risks, positioning youth digital expertise as a strength, empowering youth to be critically informed users of digital technologies, and emphasizing boundary setting in digital spaces.

Conclusions
Accessing technology contributes to DDA youth survivors’ well-being and is critical to fully navigate their social environments in the digital age. Rather than limiting the use of technologies, it is important to support youth in becoming critically conscious, informed, and empowered users of digital technologies. Strengths-based and survivor-centered advocacy approaches to nurturing youth resilience involve honoring youth tech expertise, encouraging survivors to define their boundaries in digital spaces, and fortifying youth survivors’ regulatory, psychosocial, and meaning-making strengths. Future digital literacy curricula should prioritize developing DDA youth survivors’ digital resilience rather than overly emphasizing harm reduction approaches that target users’ digital safety and tech literacy behaviors.

Aug 18th 2024, 09:53

Chronic Stress, Volume 8, Issue , January-December 2024. BackgroundEvaluation stress can impair inhibitory control, limiting the ability of children to perform cognitively. However, evidence on protective factors is lacking as stress-induced cognitive impairments are poorly understood. High physical activity has been related to better inhibitory control and has the potential to buffer the response to a stressor. We investigated the association of physical activity and stress-induced changes in inhibitory control as well as its underlying cognitive control processes (i.e., conflict monitoring and resolution).MethodParticipants (10 to 13 y) with either low (N = 55) or high moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (N = 55) completed the Trier Social Stress Test for Children (TSST-C) and a control task in a randomized order. During both conditions, salivary cortisol was collected. Additionally, a computerized Stroop task was administered before and after the experimental conditions. The N200 and positive slow wave (PSW) components of event-related potentials elicited by the Stroop task were recorded using electroencephalography.ResultsIn comparison to the control task, the TSST-C elicited a pre-to post-test decrease of accuracy on incompatible trials. Path-analyses further revealed that this decrease was related to low physical activity and a reduced PSW amplitude. However, both the N200 and PSW amplitudes did not mediate the relation between physical activity groups and performance on the Stroop task.ConclusionIn children, evaluation stress decreases inhibitory control partly due to a reduced effectiveness of conflict resolution processes. Only children with high physical activity maintain inhibitory control after facing the stressor. However, this protective effect cannot be attributed to changes in conflict monitoring and resolution.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/s10896-024-00719-7/) The Role of Mothering in Portuguese Women’s Decision-Making within Abusive Relationships
Aug 18th 2024, 09:39

Abstract

Purpose
This article reports on the findings from a larger study focusing on women’s experiences of abuse and subsequent criminal justice interventions. While mothering was not initially the central concern of this research, it soon became clear that it played a key role in informing women’s decision-making within abusive relationships which could not be overlooked. As such, I explore the role of mothering and children in women’s decision-making and responses to the abuse.

Method
This research was underpinned by feminist principles. It involved semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty-nine Portuguese women, between September and December 2017. Data was analyzed thematically.

Results
Findings from this research show that mothering identities surpass victim status. In explaining their decision-making, women more commonly draw on their mothering identities, their behavior being guided by their perceived responsibilities to protect and care for their children. Due to social constructions of motherhood and mothering, in the Portuguese context and beyond, women struggle with the coexistence of both mothering identities and victim status, with the first inevitably erasing the second.

Conclusion
A better understanding of the complex ways in which women act to care for and protect their children within abusive relationships is needed. Contrary to the often perpetuated belief that abused women are incapable of caring for their children, this research highlights how their own victimization and risk is made secondary in their attempts to ensure their children’s safety and wellbeing. The implications of these findings for policy and practice are considered.

Aug 18th 2024, 09:23

Health Psychology, Vol 43(8), Aug 2024, 551-560; doi:10.1037/hea0001384
Objective: The goal of this article is to describe a conceptual multilevel model that provides evidence of embodiment of a societal stressor on the health of the individuals and illustrate with simulated data how omitting components in the analysis model fails to properly capture how context influences health. Method: We describe a two-level model with variables at each level: stress at the group level and appraisal at the individual level. These factors are assumed to influence the blood pressure of individuals. Importantly, the person-level predictor is responsible for bringing the group-level predictor to the individual level by a cross-level interaction between stress and appraisal and/or a mediated effect of stress. When combined, the model components may be partitioned into a pure direct effect, a pure indirect effect, pure interaction effect, and an interaction-in-mediation effect. Data were generated in accordance with the model with each component accounting for some proportion of variance in blood pressure. Results: To the extent these components operate in the process of embodiment, a proposition we argue is reasonable, failure to specify the analytic model with all components leads to failure to characterize embodiment and misattribution of the effect and mechanism. Conclusions: To fully quantify embodiment of a societal stressor on a health outcome, studies should use multilevel designs and estimate cross-level interactions and mediated effects.

Aug 18th 2024, 08:38

Abstract
Response disequilibrium theory suggests that a response deficit in a contingent activity (e.g., iPad time) can increase engagement in an instrumental activity (e.g., work completion) to access the contingent activity. The purpose of the current study was to conduct a systematic replication of Falligant and Rooker The Psychological Record, 71, 307–311, (2021) to further demonstrate the generality and applicability of this approach in clinical contexts. Results of the current study align with prior research demonstrating the ability of the disequilibrium approach to quantify the magnitude and direction of predicted change in instrumental activities based on measures of free operant baseline responding. We discuss study findings from a practical standpoint and offer recommendations for future research on the use of response disequilibrium theory for increasing instrumental activities in clinical practice and research.

Aug 18th 2024, 07:37

Abstract
There exists a vast literature on affect and emotion in psychological disciplines, yet contemporary conceptualizations and technologies to predict and influence emotion have been slower to emerge in behavior analysis. The current article is an attempt to conceptualize emotional experiencing through a radical behavioral lens using relational frame theory (RFT) and contemporary extensions. RFT provides a behavioral approach to cognitive appraisal within existing models of human emotion by emphasizing derived relational responding, transformation of stimulus function, and generalized reinforcement learning. Relational density theory (RDT) and the hyperdimensional multilevel (HDML) framework both expand upon RFT and may allow for a more complete account of emotional experiencing within complex networks. Synthesizing these two approaches yields multiple testable predictions that are consistent with RDT across levels of the HDML. Moreover, the ROE-M (relating, orienting, and evoking functions within a motivational context) is a dynamical unit that may be readily evident within emotional experiencing as it is generally described within the psychological literature, and compatible with the synthesized model. Taken together, these approaches and emerging research on affective dynamics may provide a starting point to develop a robust and comprehensive analysis of human emotion that can strengthen behavior analysis and therapies

The recent acts of racism and violent disorder in parts of the UK is of huge concern to us all. It is shocking, distressing and abhorrent to see hate-driven, racist crime being planned and targeted against citizens from migrants and ethnic minority communities, including social workers and practitioners. While incidents have thankfully subsided in recent days, we are acutely aware that many people will still be worried and concerned about possible future attacks, and risk to their own safety.
