Feb 2nd 2024, 14:06

Abstract
Response disequilibrium theory, an extension of the response deprivation hypothesis, proposes that behavior-change is due to disruptions in an organism’s baseline levels of responding. This theory challenges the notion of distinct stimuli as reinforcers or punishers and instead emphasizes the role of instrumental and contingent activities. The present study aimed to test the predictions of response disequilibrium theory by replicating Heth and Warren’s, Animal Learning & Behavior, 6, 294–300, (1978) experiment using a modernized apparatus. Sixteen undergraduate psychology students participated in the experiment, which included a familiarization period, baseline periods, and a contingency period. During the contingency period, the instrumental activity was the activation of a video that resulted in a deficit or excess of audio relative to baseline. According to response disequilibrium theory, a deficit will produce a reinforcement effect whereas an excess will produce a punishment effect. The results supported the predictions of response disequilibrium theory, as instrumental video activity increased for participants in the deficit condition and decreased for participants in the excess condition. In addition, the study revealed a strong correlation between the size of disequilibrium and the magnitude of behavior change. These findings further support the use of disequilibrium models to a priori identify effective contingency arrangements in both research and practice. Informal applications of the Premack principle may be supplanted with the precision of a formal model of reinforcement and punishment in response disequilibrium theory.

Feb 2nd 2024, 13:09

Abstract
Factors such as the therapeutic relationship and working alliance have been shown to be important predictors for client outcomes in broad counseling settings with diverse client populations. The present study used linear multiple regression analysis to explore how relational factors such as in-session empathy and mindfulness impact working alliance when providing sex offender counseling. Results from sex offender counselor participants (N = 109) showed that the perspective taking aspect of empathy was most impactful on working alliance and that in-session mindfulness was less impactful on working alliance.

Feb 2nd 2024, 12:22

Abstract
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a first-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The primary goals of CPT are to identify and challenge dysfunctional cognitions resulting from the trauma to promote a more balanced set of beliefs and reduce manufactured emotions; encouraging expression of natural emotions further promotes symptom improvement. Between-session assignments (homework) are an integral part of learning and practicing the skills developed during CPT, and these assignments are theorized to reinforce the proposed mechanisms of symptom change. This article begins with a brief description of the theoretical foundations of CPT and an overview of the session content of the CPT protocol, followed by a case study illustrating the use of CPT with the written account (CPT + A) with a survivor of childhood sexual assault. Although the client demonstrated some avoidance, her successful completion of practice assignments throughout treatment allowed her to identify and examine thoughts contributing to feelings of guilt and self-blame as well as negative beliefs about the world. She was able to reduce her assimilated and overaccommodated stuck points to form a more balanced view of the trauma, and also process her natural emotions, resulting in a significant reduction of PTSD symptoms. The role of homework at each session and how the assignments addressed the proposed mechanisms of change in CPT are discussed, and recommendations to increase clients’ engagement in practice assignments in CPT are provided.

Feb 2nd 2024, 12:17

The public health discussion of the effects of overturning Roe v Wade in June 2022 extend beyond the number of abortions, where and how people are having abortions, maternal mortality, or even infant mortality. The discussion includes how some restrictions on abortion may harm the mental health of those having or seeking abortions, as well as have the most serious effects on the mental health of females from marginalized groups. A recent study published by Zandberg and colleagues found that states that enacted more restrictive abortion policies between 1974 and 2016 had higher rates of suicide among women of reproductive age but not among those who have passed reproductive age. The authors hypothesize that these observed effects of increased anxiety and stress may be because it is harder to access an abortion. The Zandberg et al findings are provocative and suggest that research in the current context after the Dobbs decision such as that published in this issue of JAMA is warranted.

Feb 2nd 2024, 11:59

Psychotherapy with suicidal and self-harming young people is complex, as this population group is difficult to engage in treatment and their internal reactions may remain concealed, leading to impulsive suicide attempts or abandonment of treatment. The resulting countertransference reactions of confusion, guilt and shame are most distressing and often cause psychotherapists to avoid treating this population group. Safety concerns increase when self-destructive patients abandon therapy, or their condition worsens despite the therapist’s best efforts. The vicissitudes of the adolescent developmental process suggest that, in some cases, withholding information, rejection of the therapist’s caring interventions, and abrupt termination of treatment arise from the need for separation and independence and are ego syntonic and therefore suicide protecting. In other cases, the risk for suicide may be increased because of the transference experience of hostile abandonment. A negative therapeutic reaction (NTR) is a disturbing development in the course of psychotherapy that has not been adequately explained in the treatment of suicidal young people. This article is a consideration of whether these negative reactions associated with abrupt, unplanned terminations, in the treatment of self-destructive young people, should appropriately be thought of as an NTR or as a developmental stage in separation.

Feb 2nd 2024, 11:11

Abstract
This article focuses on Franklin Roosevelt’s influence on the Democratic Party. It brings to light the significant, but underexamined “Third New Deal,” the controversial program Roosevelt pursued during his second and third terms. Shortly after his landslide 1936 re-election, Roosevelt pursued three polarizing initiatives: the Court-Packing Plan, the 1937 executive reorganization bill, and the 1938 “purge” campaign. These measures, while far from completely successful, began an important transformation that replaced the decentralized, patronage-based party system, which had dominated the 19th century and remained regnant through the first three decades of the 20th century, with an executive-centered partisanship, which subordinated parties to the ambitions of the White House. Roosevelt’s assault on existing partisan practices—most notably, the unprecedented “purge” campaign—imposed his personal brand on the Democratic Party. More broadly, his profound influence on the Democratic Party led to what Max Weber called the “routinization of charisma,” whereby the disruptive leadership of a charismatic leader is displaced by a “mechanism of rules” that transcend “personal authority.” The deinstitutionalization of the Democratic Party was part of a broader objective to build an executive-centered administrative state that Roosevelt and his political allies considered a more effective means to pursue their partisan objectives. Ronald Reagan’s presidency signaled that Republicans, no less than Democrats, embraced executive-centered partisanship. Eventually, as became all too clear during the presidency of Donald Trump, the fusion of executive prerogative and partisanship resulted in a “personal president,” as Theodore Lowi termed it, and a plebiscitary politics that denigrated political parties as collective organizations and threatened to turn political parties into cults of personality.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/cch-13206/) An examination of characteristics, social supports, caregiver resilience and hospital readmissions of children with medical complexity
Feb 2nd 2024, 10:56

Abstract
Background
Children with medical complexity (CMC) account for 1% of children in the United States. These children experience frequent hospital readmissions, high healthcare costs and poor health outcomes. A link between CMC caregiver social support, resilience and hospital readmissions has never been fully investigated. This study examines the feasibility of a prospective, descriptive, repeated measures research design to characterize CMC and their caregivers, social supports, caregiver resilience and hospital readmissions to inform a larger prospective investigation.
Methods
Caregivers of CMC with unplanned hospitalizations completed surveys at the index hospitalization and 30 and 60 days after discharge. CMC caregiver and child characteristics, social supports and hospital readmissions were examined using an investigator-developed survey. Resilience was measured using the Resilience Scale-14© (7-Point Likert Scale, score range 14–98), and feasibility was measured by calculating enrolment, attrition, survey completion and item response. Analysis included descriptive statistics and qualitative data visualization.
Results
Of caregivers who were approached for participation, 81.1% consented  and completed 76 surveys. Attrition was 31%. Item response rates were ≥ 90% for all but one item. A total of 62.1% of children had hospital readmissions within 90 days and 37.9% within 30 days. Additionally, 70% of caregivers had home care nursing, but the approved hours were only partially filled. More than 70% of caregiver resilience scores were moderate to high (score range 74–98) and were stable across repeated measures and hospital readmissions. Open-ended question responses revealed the following five categories: All-consuming, Family Reliance, Impact of Covid, Taking Action and Broken System.
Conclusions
Studying CMC caregiver social supports and resilience using repeated measures is feasible. CMC caregivers reported stressors including coordinating their child’s substantial healthcare needs and managing partially filled home care nursing hours. Caregiver resilience remained stable over time, amidst frequent CMC hospital readmissions. Findings can inform future research priorities and power analyses for CMC caregiver resilience.

Feb 2nd 2024, 10:32

Abstract
Objective
This research aimed to examine changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in activities of daily living and health status of children with special needs.
Method
The current descriptive and comparative study was carried out with 82 students studying at a special education practice school that provided daytime education to children with special needs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Personal Information Form, the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and the Omaha System Problem Classification Scheme were employed as data collection tools in the research.
Results
The 10 most common problems during the COVID-19 pandemic were stated as cognition (86.6%), mental health (75.6%), speech and language (85.4%), interpersonal relationships (79.3%), personal care (79.3%), social contact (64.6%), growth and development (63.4%), neighborhood/workplace safety (58.5%), communication with community resources (57.3%), and caretaking/parenting (n = 47, 57.3%). The incidence of “cognition,” “speech and language,” “neighborhood/workplace safety,” “communication with community resources,” and “caretaking/parenting” problems of children with special needs was significantly higher during the pandemic than before the pandemic (p < 0.05; p < 0.001).
Conclusion
The current research emphasized the significant impacts on the health of children with physical and mental disabilities and loss of opportunity, as their education was considerably interrupted during the quarantine. During a pandemic, the regular evaluation of health benefits/risks is essential to ensure the continuity of medical follow-up, rehabilitation, education, and support mechanisms for children with disabilities.

Feb 2nd 2024, 10:11

Abstract
Research suggests that the demands of parenting have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for mothers. Widespread loss of childcare and in-person schooling forced parents to make adjustments to care for their children in new ways, many while working remotely. This qualitative study, guided by Walsh’s theory of family resilience, examines mothers’ experiences with stress and resilience as they adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were gathered as part of a longitudinal, mixed-methods study that examined family stress and resilience among mothers of children ages zero to five. The authors conducted in-depth interviews between June and August 2020 with mothers (n = 15) of children under age six. Three themes emerged to characterize pandemic parenting: 24/7 parenting, changing expectations, and making it work. Recommendations are provided for researchers and practitioners working with mothers of young children, with emphasis on mothers’ aptitudes for resilience in times of crisis.

Feb 2nd 2024, 08:44

Abstract
Bereavement can lead to prolonged grief disorder (PGD) as well as episodes of major depression. Studies on the prevalence of PGD and its differences from postbereavement depression have not been conclusive. This study compared the correlates of depression and prolonged grief (PG) symptoms in a population-based random sample (N = 535) using the Beck Depression Inventory, Inventory of Complicated Grief–Revised, Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), and Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASAQ). Correlates of PG and depressive symptoms were examined using linear regression in 328 bereaved respondents. The prevalence of probable PGD based on PGD-2009 criteria was 3.0% among bereaved respondents and 1.9% in the total sample. PG was related to bereavement-related features including sex of the deceased, β = − .110, p = .026; time since loss, β = − .179, p = .001; the number of lifetime losses experienced, β = .157, p = .016; and perceived closeness with the deceased, β = .214, p < .001. Only lower income of the bereaved predicted depression, β = − .139, p = .018. In women, but not in men, the loss of a male family member (i.e., brother or son) was a significant predictor of PG symptoms, β = − .180, p = .006. The results confirm the qualitative distinction between depression and PG in a nonclinical sample and show that PG is mainly related to the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of the deceased or of death, whereas depression relates only to the characteristics of the bereaved person.

Feb 2nd 2024, 07:53

Abstract
Women’s empowerment and contraceptive use are critical to achieving gender equality. The positive association between more empowered women and higher rates of contraceptive use has been well-established by cross-sectional research. However, there remains a gap in understanding the longitudinal relationship between contraceptive adoption and changes to women’s empowerment. This study represents a novel approach to understanding the relationship between contraceptive adoption and women’s empowerment longitudinally, at the individual level. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to measure the relationship between contraceptive adoption and women’s empowerment using more than one wave of panel data. We leverage the longitudinal design of the Urban Reproductive Health Initiative data to code empowerment items by change over time (e.g., more empowered, no change, less empowered). We use sparse principal component analysis to establish empowerment change domains and calculate individual scores standardized by country-level averages. We estimate mixed effects models on these change domains, to investigate the link between contraceptive adoption and empowerment. We find common themes in empowerment across contexts—but contraceptive adoption has both positive and negative effects on those domains, and this varies across context. We discuss the need for cohort studies to examine this relationship.

Feb 2nd 2024, 06:36

Abstract
I propose a framework to evaluate the social gains from policies regarding animals. The model considers both the welfare of animals and humans. The gains in animal welfare are estimated by considering the violations of the animals’ fundamental freedoms weighted for each species. I apply this framework to twenty policy proposals targeting wild, domestic, farmed, and laboratory animals. Although the policies benefit from widespread popular support in France (the annual willingnesses-to-pay range between 15 and 39 Euros per person per year), I show that they have very heterogeneous impacts on animal welfare (valued at between 0.013 and 3618 Euros per person per year). I further show that humans’ willingness-to-pay for policies improving animal welfare is a poor predictor of the effective impact on animal welfare of these policies. I conclude that it is essential to value animal welfare per se in cost-benefit analyses in order to determine the set of welfare-increasing policies.

Feb 2nd 2024, 05:06

Abstract
This study applies equivalence testing methods on a representative sample of published empirical structural equation modeling studies in the psychological sciences and assesses the extent to which reported fit results are replicated when compared to those obtained via traditional methods. Results of 382 models from a sample of 242 articles published in 5 top ranked journals from the general field of Developmental Psychology were reported. The results indicated that a sizeable number of models designated in the original studies as ‘good’ were in fact not reproducible when examined through an equivalence testing lens. These questionable models displayed substantial discrepancy with the data and should not have qualified for further consideration because they were simply not plausible models. Implications of the results and suggestions for best modeling practices within the psychological sciences are discussed.

Feb 2nd 2024, 04:54

Journal of Social Work, Ahead of Print. SummaryIt is widely accepted that honor-based violence is a lived reality and a serious problem. However, honor-based violence is also a contested academic and political field, characterized by a polarized debate about whether or not the violence comprises stereotyping images of immigrants. This article asks how honor-based violence can be understood in light of this polarization, and what consequences it may have for clients and social workers. It is based on interview data with 235 adults with either professional (n = 199) or personal experiences (n = 36) of honor-based violence in Sweden. The data has been thematically coded and analyzed using the concepts of culturalization and intersectionality.FindingsHonor-based violence is simultaneously a lived reality and teeming with stereotypes that are constructed by culturalizing images of nation, gender, age, religion, and sexuality. These stereotypes constitute forms of violence themselves and decrease clients’ trust in society and its institutions. Hence, the stereotypes become obstacles to social workers’ capacity to support those exposed to violence. At a general level, the stereotypes contribute to retaining the exposed in violence. In contrast, intersectional approaches to understanding honor-based violence have the potential to capture clients’ self-perceived and complex formulations of the causes of, and the character of, their situation, and thus increase the possibilities for adequate support.ApplicationsThe article’s findings can support social workers’ understanding of the complexity of honor-based violence and strengthen their possibilities and capacities to develop antiracist and nonviolent communicative practices and, thus, acknowledge clients’ varying experiences and individual needs.

Feb 2nd 2024, 04:52

Sexualities, Ahead of Print. This article discusses issues of racial marginalisation within two significant museum exhibitions, Art AIDS America (2015–17) and Queer British Art (2017). Specifically, the study centres on the responsive work of two young artists, Kia LaBeija and Travis Alabanza, who perform feelings of alienation to protest against the under-representation of queer and trans artists of colour in both museum exhibitions. Through an affective analysis of their artistic embodiment mobilising emotions of loneliness, I argue that such artistic expressions of queer loneliness, in relation to the excluding effects of the two museum exhibitions, are productive acts. They contribute to the building of emotional resilience and the recognition of intersectional communities.

Feb 2nd 2024, 04:19

Abstract
Self-regulation develops rapidly during early childhood and is essential for academic and social adjustment. However, previous research has attempted to define the conceptualization and structure of self-regulation differently, leaving the field with an incomplete picture. The nature of the relations between self-regulation and early child outcomes and the factors that affect these relations are not well understood. This meta-analysis synthesized results from 57 studies (109 effect sizes; total n = 15,760, age range = 36–96 months) to investigate the relations between the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects of self-regulation and academic and social competence. We also examined the moderating effects of individual and study characteristics. Results showed that the behavioral and cognitive aspects of self-regulation were associated with math, language, and literacy performance, and all aspects of self-regulation were related to social competence, but with varied magnitude. Moderating effects were identified in several associations in which the self-regulation assessment approach was the most important moderator, with parent-report measures consistently producing smaller effect sizes. Overall, the findings support the multidimensionality of self-regulation and reveal differential relations between its components and child outcomes. The mechanism of these associations and the choice of self-regulation measures and approaches, and implications for research and professional practices, are discussed.
