(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/rev0000397/) Accumulating evidence for myriad alternatives: Modeling the generation of free association.
Feb 9th 2024, 14:14

Psychological Review, Vol 130(6), Nov 2023, 1492-1520; doi:10.1037/rev0000397
The associative manner by which thoughts follow one another has intrigued scholars for decades. The process by which an association is generated in response to a cue can be explained by classic models of semantic processing through distinct computational mechanisms. Distributed attractor networks implement rich-get-richer dynamics and assume that stronger associations can be reached with fewer steps. Conversely, spreading activation models assume that a cue distributes its activation, in parallel, to all associations at a constant rate. Despite these models’ huge influence, their intractability together with the unconstrained nature of free association have restricted their few previous uses to qualitative predictions. To test these computational mechanisms quantitatively, we conceptualize free association as the product of internal evidence accumulation and generate predictions concerning the speed and strength of people’s associations. To this end, we first develop a novel approach to mapping the personalized space of words from which an individual chooses an association to a given cue. We then use state-of-the-art evidence accumulation models to demonstrate the function of rich-get-richer dynamics on the one hand and of stochasticity in the rate of spreading activation on the other hand, in preventing an exceedingly slow resolution of the competition among myriad potential associations. Furthermore, whereas our results uniformly indicate that stronger associations require less evidence, only in combination with rich-get-richer dynamics does this explain why weak associations are slow yet prevalent. We discuss implications for models of semantic processing and evidence accumulation and offer recommendations for practical applications and individual-differences research.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/neu0000927/) Parental warmth, stressful life events, and impulsivity: A gene–environment-wide interaction study.
Feb 9th 2024, 14:07

Neuropsychology, Vol 38(1), Jan 2024, 17-26; doi:10.1037/neu0000927
Objective: Impulsivity is influenced by genetic, neural, and environmental factors, but no study has examined how these factors work together to generate individual differences in impulsivity. The present study aimed to define the functional network that subserves impulsivity and test its relations with the gene–environment interactions found in the gene–environment-wide interaction study. Method: This study used a sample of healthy Chinese college students (N = 1,145) to identify gene–environment interactive effects on impulsivity, then defined the functional brain network related to impulsivity in an independent sample (N = 483), and explored the gene–brain associations using polygenic risk score. Results: The present study found that 14 genes showed significant interactive effects with parental warmth (a protective environmental factor) and that six genes showed significant interactive effects with stressful life events (a risk environmental factor). The polygenic risk score for parental warmth was significantly correlated with functional connectivity especially the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG)-left inferior occipital and left MFG-left superior frontal gyrus functional connectivity, while the polygenic risk score for more stressful life events was significantly correlated with functional connectivity of left dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) to other regions. These associations were stronger in more adverse environments (i.e., low parental warmth or high stressful life events). Conclusions: This was the first gene–environment-wide interaction study of impulsivity. Future studies should replicate our results and explore the underlying mechanisms of these interactions.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/pag0000755/) Are trajectories of personality and socioeconomic factors prospectively associated with midlife cognitive function? Findings from a 12-year longitudinal study of Mexican-origin adults.
Feb 9th 2024, 13:12

Psychology and Aging, Vol 38(8), Dec 2023, 749-762; doi:10.1037/pag0000755
Problems with memory, executive function, and language are a significant public health concern, especially when they begin during midlife. However, there is relatively little work on risk and protective factors for cognitive function in middle adulthood. Using data from 883 Mexican-origin adults assessed up to 6 times across 12 years (Mage at Time 1 = 38.2 years; range = 27–63 years), the present study examined whether developmental trajectories (levels and slopes) of Big Five personality domains and socioeconomic factors (per capita income, economic stress) were prospectively associated with cognitive function (memory, mental status, verbal fluency) at the final assessment. We found that individuals with higher levels of, and smaller decreases in, Neuroticism had worse cognitive function 12 years later. Further, individuals with higher initial Conscientiousness had better subsequent memory, mental status, and verbal fluency, and individuals with higher Openness and Extraversion had better subsequent verbal fluency (but not memory or mental status). The trajectories of per capita income and economic stress were robustly associated with cognitive function, such that higher initial levels and greater increases in socioeconomic resources had protective associations, whereas higher levels and greater increases in economic stress had deleterious associations with cognitive function. Higher education level was associated with better cognitive function 12 years later. These findings suggest that changes in personality and socioeconomic factors across adulthood are associated with cognitive function, which may be informative for interventions to support healthier cognitive aging starting at least as early as midlife.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/neu0000920/) Working memory and math skills in children with and without ADHD.
Feb 9th 2024, 13:07

Neuropsychology, Vol 38(1), Jan 2024, 1-16; doi:10.1037/neu0000920
Objective: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently demonstrate deficits in working memory and in multiple domains of math skills, including underdeveloped problem-solving and computation skills. The Baddeley model of working memory posits a multicomponent system, including a domain-general central executive and two domain-specific subsystems—phonological short-term memory and visuospatial short-term memory. Extant literature indicates a strong link between neurocognitive deficits in working/short-term memory and math skills; however, the extent to which each component of working/short-term memory may account for this relation is unclear. Method: The present study was the first to use bifactor (S·I-1) modeling to examine relations between each working/short-term memory subcomponent (i.e., central executive, phonological short-term memory, and visuospatial short-term memory), ADHD symptoms, and math skills in a clinically evaluated sample of 186 children ages 8–13 (Myears = 10.40, SD = 1.49; 62 girls; 69% White/non-Hispanic). Results: Structural equation modeling indicated that all three working/short-term memory components exert a significant and approximately equal effect on latent math skills (β = .29–.50, all p R² = .56). Exploratory analyses indicated that teacher-reported ADHD inattentive symptoms provided a small but significant contribution to predicting latent math skills (ΔR² = .07) and accounted for 24% of the central executive/math association. Conclusions: These findings suggest that math difficulties in children with ADHD and clinically evaluated children without ADHD are associated, in large part, with their neurocognitive vulnerabilities in working/short-term memory and, to a lesser extent, overt ADHD symptoms.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/social-determinants-of-blood-pressure-control-in-a-middle-income-country-in-latin-america/) Social determinants of blood pressure control in a middle-income country in Latin America
Feb 9th 2024, 12:42

Blood pressure (BP) control is a key intervention to decrease cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the main cause of death in low and middle-income countries (MIC). Scarce data on the determinants of BP control in Latin America are available. Our objective is to explore the role of gender, age, education, and income as social determinants of BP control in Argentina, a MIC with a universal health care system. We evaluated 1184 persons in two hospitals. Blood pressure was measured using automatic oscillometric devices. We selected those patients treated for hypertension. The average BP of less than 140/90 mmHg was considered a controlled BP. We found 638 hypertensive individuals, of whom 477 (75%) were receiving antihypertensive drugs, and of those, 248 (52%) had controlled BP. The prevalence of low education was more frequent in uncontrolled patients (25.3% vs. 16.1%; P < .01). We did not find association between household income, gender, and BP control. Older patients had less BP control (44% of those older than 75 years vs. 60.9% of those younger than 40; test for trend P < .05). Multivariate regression indicates low education (OR 1.71 95% CI [1.05, 2.79]; P = .03) and older age (OR 1.01; 95% IC [1.00, 1.03]) as independent predictors of the lack of BP control. We conclude that rates of BP control are low in Argentina. In a MIC with a universal health care system low education and old age but not household income are independent predictors of the lack of BP control.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/rev0000411/) Simultaneous modeling of choice, confidence, and response time in visual perception.
Feb 9th 2024, 12:12

Psychological Review, Vol 130(6), Nov 2023, 1521-1543; doi:10.1037/rev0000411
How can choice, confidence, and response times be modeled simultaneously? Here, we propose the new dynamical weighted evidence and visibility (dynWEV) model, an extension of the drift-diffusion model of decision-making, to account for choices, reaction times, and confidence simultaneously. The decision process in a binary perceptual task is described as a Wiener process accumulating sensory evidence about the choice options bounded by two constant thresholds. To account for confidence judgments, we assume a period of postdecisional accumulation of sensory evidence and parallel accumulation of information about the reliability of the present stimulus. We examined model fits in two experiments, a motion discrimination task with random dot kinematograms and a postmasked orientation discrimination task. A comparison between the dynWEV model, two-stage dynamical signal detection theory, and several versions of race models of decision-making showed that only dynWEV produced acceptable fits of choices, confidence, and reaction time. This finding suggests that confidence judgments depend not only on choice evidence but also on a parallel estimate of stimulus discriminability and postdecisional accumulation of evidence.

The boards that oversee the education of hundreds of thousands of students enrolled in Florida’s public colleges and universities voted to reduce the number of students who study sociology on those campuses. They officially removed principles of sociology from the lists of classes that count as core courses that satisfy requirements for undergraduate degrees.

Feb 9th 2024, 10:08

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Vol 46(4), Dec 2023, 276-284; doi:10.1037/prj0000550
Objective: Despite arts advancement and advocacy in education, research, and clinical practice, the arts, including music, dance, theater, and visual art, continue to be largely viewed as stimulating and not necessarily scientifically sound disciplines. This article describes the intentional and methodical use of artistic inquiry to expand the grasp of the mental health condition of depression and suggest ways to engage with it. Methods: Different art forms, dance/movement, collage, sculpting, photography, and watercolor were utilized in separate artistic inquiries to explore and better understand the phenomenon of depression, specifically the elements emptiness, hopelessness, and uncertainty. Results: The engagement with art revealed that darkness promotes the germination of something new and valuable. Another discovery was that change is constant in life and can be a comforting fact considering that depression may feel interminable. Last, connection was found to be crucial. When two colors were blended, they yielded another hue and thus a novel outlook on life. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Artistic inquiry is not only an intuitive and freely accessible tool, but it also offers a unique understanding of the human condition that is rich in meaning and personally relevant. By methodically engaging with art during uncertainties or when facing a clinical or personal challenge, practitioners can increase their insight and develop exceptional and creative solutions that may contribute to psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery.

Feb 9th 2024, 09:09

Psychological Methods, Vol 28(6), Dec 2023, 1251-1272; doi:10.1037/met0000449
Ordinal data are extremely common in psychological research, with variables often assessed using Likert-type scales that take on only a few values. At the same time, researchers are increasingly fitting network models to ordinal item-level data. Yet very little work has evaluated how network estimation techniques perform when data are ordinal. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate and compare the performance of three estimation methods applied to either Pearson or polychoric correlations: extended Bayesian information criterion graphical lasso with regularized edge estimates (“EBIC”), Bayesian information criterion model selection with partial correlation edge estimates (“BIC”), and multiple regression with p-value-based edge selection and partial correlation edge estimates (“MR”). We vary the number and distribution of thresholds, distribution of the underlying continuous data, sample size, model size, and network density, and we evaluate results in terms of model structure (sensitivity and false positive rate) and edge weight bias. Our results show that the effect of treating the data as ordinal versus continuous depends primarily on the number of levels in the data, and that estimation performance was affected by the sample size, the shape of the underlying distribution, and the symmetry of underlying thresholds. Furthermore, which estimation method is recommended depends on the research goals: MR methods tended to maximize sensitivity of edge detection, BIC approaches minimized false positives, and either one of these produced accurate edge weight estimates in sufficiently large samples. We identify some particularly difficult combinations of conditions for which no method produces stable results. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

This study investigated whether dispositional hope buffers the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and psychological well-being (PWB) among Kashmiri students exposed to armed conflict. Five hundred fifty university students in Kashmir were randomly selected to participate in the survey constituting pre-established measures related to intolerance of uncertainty, dispositional hope, and PWB. Moderation analysis was conducted to determine the moderating influence of hope between intolerance of uncertainty and PWB. Intolerance of uncertainty was significantly and negatively related to PWB and dispositional hope. Analyses indicated that dispositional hope significantly moderated the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and PWB. More specifically, results indicated that the negative association between intolerance of uncertainty and PWB was strongly negative for students with lower levels of hope compared to students with increased levels of hope. The findings highlighted the importance of hope as a protective factor against the ramifications of intolerance of uncertainty on PWB in an environment of armed conflict.

Feb 9th 2024, 07:08

Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, Vol 29(4), Nov 2023, 365-373; doi:10.1037/pac0000682
Northern Ireland has long been a contested territory. The 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement seemed to offer a resolution to the long-standing conflict. However, it has been reawakened by Brexit. Brexit presents a threat in Northern Ireland because it raises the divisive question of the United Kingdom’s sovereignty over the region and the issue of the border. However, despite Nationalists’—a political identity group associated with the political ideology of Irish reunification—initial opposition to Brexit, many in this group now view Brexit as a potential opportunity to achieve their political goal of Irish unity. The aim of the present research is to examine the combined influence of the Nationalist’s identity and perceived Brexit threat on people’s understanding of the proximity of this political goal. We specifically test whether Nationalists’ strength of group identification, and the threat of Brexit, is linked to how likely people believe a United Ireland has become. In two studies, we found evidence for the prediction that strong ingroup identification is related to the perception that a United Ireland is more likely. In the second study, path analysis showed that this relationship is conditional on perceived threat. For Nationalists with stronger ingroup identification, the threat of Brexit is greater. Combined, these factors are linked to an increased sense that a United Ireland is likely. In the discussion, we consider the implications of our findings for polarization in this postagreement society. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Feb 9th 2024, 06:09

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Vol 46(4), Dec 2023, 273-275; doi:10.1037/prj0000587
This article presents an introduction to the special issue of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal. This special issue explores what exposure to various forms of art can add to the understanding of human nature, including mental health, and in particular, efforts and ways to advance psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery. While psychiatric rehabilitation is increasingly positioned as a scientific enterprise, we ask whether this field can benefit from lessons learned from the arts. More specifically, the authors explore how the arts can enhance the field of psychiatric rehabilitation by helping those in this field to understand, through new perspectives, the experiences of people with mental health issues.

Feb 9th 2024, 05:09

Psychological Methods, Vol 28(6), Dec 2023, 1273-1285; doi:10.1037/met0000476
Network approaches to psychometric constructs, in which constructs are modeled in terms of interactions between their constituent factors, have rapidly gained popularity in psychology. Applications of such network approaches to various psychological constructs have recently moved from a descriptive stance, in which the goal is to estimate the network structure that pertains to a construct, to a more comparative stance, in which the goal is to compare network structures across populations. However, the statistical tools to do so are lacking. In this article, we present the network comparison test (NCT), which uses resampling-based permutation testing to compare network structures from two independent, cross-sectional data sets on invariance of (a) network structure, (b) edge (connection) strength, and (c) global strength. Performance of NCT is evaluated in simulations that show NCT to perform well in various circumstances for all three tests: The Type I error rate is close to the nominal significance level, and power proves sufficiently high if sample size and difference between networks are substantial. We illustrate NCT by comparing depression symptom networks of males and females. Possible extensions of NCT are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Feb 9th 2024, 04:12

Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, Vol 16(1), Jan 2024, 10-20; doi:10.1037/tra0001260
Although Western culture has long since acknowledged the high prevalence of sexual abuse of children and women, traditional cultures often lag behind in this regard. Objectives: To describe the experiences of Arab Israeli women who have survived incest. Method: Ten Arab-Israeli women who were subjected to incest, were interviewed, using an in-depth semistructure interview. The interviews were analyzed using a qualitative-thematic analysis. Results: Qualitative-thematic analysis of both explicit and implicit contents was applied to reveal linguistic structures the authors identify as related to the women’s life experiences. The findings point to the experience of multiple exiles—from their mother’s tongue, bodies, and subjectivity. The authors have identified the following themes: (a) usage of the plural first-body voice; (b) referring to one’s self in a masculine voice; and (c) shifting between three languages (Arabic, Hebrew, and English. These themes are discussed in light of psychoanalytic literature and that which is concerned with sexual and psychic trauma. Conclusions: Arab-Israeli women seem to lead life as double victims—of both the patriarchal hegemony of men, within the Arab community, and as a minority within the Israeli society.
