Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology, Vol 44(1), Jan 2024, 1-16; doi:10.1037/teo0000225
In the last 20 years, cognitive science has been revolutionized by enactive cognition. However, claims by enactivists that enactive cognition reforms much of our thinking about the nature of minds, and our relationships with nature and each other, have not always been easy to follow and hence a certain perplexity which has been further confounded by arguments between various enactivists. This article offers some clarification of some of the central claims of enactivism by drawing on past figures in philosophy and psychology, borrowing and extending already popularized metaphors, elucidating some key concepts, and explicating one of the central arguments within enactivism. Combining relevant inferences and intuitions from the past with recent ones from radical enactivism facilitates the emergence of a more responsible and responsive understanding of human nature: one that allows us to attune to each other and to nature more fully.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology, Vol 44(1), Jan 2024, 17-29; doi:10.1037/teo0000235
Georg Hegel left an immense intellectual legacy that has the potential to change the life of mankind for the better. The article is based on speculative methods of research and aims to rethink the scientific efforts of scholars who were engaged in the study and interpretation of Hegel’s philosophy and his concepts. The purpose of the article is to study the philosophical thought of Georg Hegel. The article was written using the analysis of scientific papers to identify the fundamental principles of Hegel’s philosophy; the mental modeling was used to recreate the visual concept; the method of idealization was necessary to create a simplified implementation model of a particular phenomenon; induction and deduction methods were also applied. As the result, a more detailed concept of Hegel’s four objective methods can be designated: ACA (the cycle of ascent from the Abstract to the Concrete and the subsequent descent to the Abstract), AAC (ascent from the Abstract to the Concrete), DCA (descent from the Concrete to the Abstract), and CAC (the cycle of descent from the Concrete to the Abstract and the subsequent ascent to the Concrete), as well as their meaning in practical and abstract cases. In the course of the study, the following conclusions were made: the logical, functional schematic design of the individual paradigm determines the transparency of understanding and visibility of the causal phenomena of the environment, which logically ensures harmonious development, an increase in the quality of life, and an increase in its duration.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/teo0000228/) Five contenders for the title “philosophy of psychology”.
Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology, Vol 44(1), Jan 2024, 30-41; doi:10.1037/teo0000228
All science eventually runs up against philosophical issues, and psychology is no exception. In fact, psychology, because of its subject matter, the investigation of human and animal behavior, engages philosophical questions rather quickly, especially since the cognitive revolution reengaged the mind. Hence, psychology cannot avoid consideration of a philosophy of psychology. This essay discusses five prominent candidates for the title, “philosophy of psychology”: Scientific Realism, Functionalism, Social Constructionism, Phenomenological Hermeneutics, and Classical Realism and, for each, presents a brief review of the philosophical roots, consideration of metaphysical and epistemological claims, and a presentation of how those claims would impact the construct generalized intellectual ability, “g.” (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Rural Mental Health, Vol 48(1), Jan 2024, 1-14; doi:10.1037/rmh0000253
Veteran suicide remains a pressing public health problem in Kentucky (KY) and the United States. Perfect storm theory (PST) suggests that human behavior arises from the intensity of interactions between instigating, impelling, and disinhibiting forces and could be used to study the effects of interacting factors related to catastrophic behaviors such as self-directed violence. Suicide data were obtained from the KY Violent Death Reporting System for 2010–2019. Subgroups of veteran (n = 1,203, 17.8%) and nonveteran (n = 5,559, 82.2%) decedents were categorized by suicide characteristics, and Feasible Solution Algorithm was used to test the main proposition of PST. KY male veterans differed from nonveteran decedents in that they were significantly more likely to have been White, older, married, educated beyond high school, used a firearm, left a note, lived in a rural area, and had physical health problems. A three-way interaction, χ²(1) = 5.01, p = .0252, supported the main proposition of PST for veterans who were rural and older, in the presence of one or more of the following disinhibiting factors: alcohol found at the scene, recent death/suicide of a friend or family member, traumatic anniversary, blood alcohol content ≥.08, or a positive drug test. The identified interactions contribute to a better understanding of the complex nature of suicide and confirm that PST could be used to guide further research on the antecedents of veteran suicide and its prevention.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Educational Psychology, Vol 116(2), Feb 2024, 153-172; doi:10.1037/edu0000830
As handheld devices, such as tablets, become a common tool in schools, a critical and urgent question for the research community is to assess their potential impact on educational outcomes. Previous meta-analytic research has evidenced the “screen inferiority effect”: Readers tend to understand texts slightly worse when reading on-screen than when reading the same text in print. Most primary studies from those meta-analyses used computers as on-screen reading devices. Accordingly, the extent to which handheld devices, which provide a reading experience closer to books than computers, are affected by the screen inferiority effect remains an open question. To address this issue, we reviewed relevant literature regarding potential moderating factors for the screen inferiority effect through the lenses of the reading for understanding framework. We then performed two meta-analyses aimed at examining the differences in reading comprehension when reading on handheld devices, as compared to print. Results from the two multilevel random-effect meta-analyses, which included primary studies that used either between-participant (k = 38, g = −0.113) or within-participant (k = 21, g = −0.103) designs, consistently showed a significant small size effect favoring print text comprehension. Moderator analyses helped to partially clarify the results, indicating in some cases a higher screen inferiority effect for undergraduate students (as compared to primary and secondary school students) and for participants who were assessed individually (as opposed to in groups). We discuss the need to continue fostering print reading in schools while developing effective ways to incorporate handheld devices for reading purposes.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, Vol 17(1), Feb 2024, 1-13; doi:10.1037/dhe0000374
Intergroup dialogue (IGD) is a critical dialogic pedagogy that calls for extraordinary care and labor. So, why as women of color (WOC), who expend disproportionate emotional labor in the academy, do we teach IGD? In this collaborative critical autoethnography, we braid our individual narratives through a critical collaborative autoethnography (CAE) to address what brought us to teaching IGD, what challenges and supports us in teaching IGD, and how our identities inform how we engage with IGD. We conclude with a bridge to future scholars and educators who teach IGD, offering implications for future research and practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

The Appalachian region has been noted for having substantial issues with substance use partly due to socioeconomic hardships and various diseases of despair. Effective and well-established treatments for substance use disorders (SUD) exist, however these treatments are underutilized throughout much of Appalachia. Harm reduction services effectively mitigate the risks associated with substance use for people who use drugs, but access to these services is often a problem in Appalachia. This literature review explores the barriers to accessing SUD treatments and harm reduction services in rural Appalachia. Both authors performed a distillation of published, peer-reviewed empirical articles to identify studies that analyzed barriers or obstacles to SUD treatment or harm reduction services among Appalachian stakeholders. The most common barriers to accessing SUD treatment in Appalachia include real or perceived legal consequences, varying levels of stigma, access and resource issues, educational and awareness matters, and impacts stemming from social networks. Increased research on barriers to seeking SUD treatment in Appalachia would help with the delivery and efficacy of SUD treatments and harm reduction strategies.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:34

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 92(3), Mar 2024, 135-149; doi:10.1037/ccp0000869
Objective: Sleep and circadian disturbance is highly comorbid with a range of psychological disorders, especially major depressive disorder (MDD). In view of the complexity of sleep and circadian problems in MDD, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based transdiagnostic intervention for sleep and circadian dysfunction (TranS-C) for improving depressive symptoms and sleep and circadian functions. Method: One hundred fifty-two adults diagnosed with comorbid MDD and sleep and circadian dysfunctions were randomized into TranS-C group treatment (TranS-C; n = 77) or care as usual (CAU; n = 75) control group. The TranS-C group received six weekly 2-hr group sessions of TranS-C, whereas the CAU group continued to receive usual care. Assessments were at baseline, immediate (Week 7), and 12-week (Week 19) posttreatment. Primary and secondary outcomes included depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, fatigue, quality of life, and functional impairment. Results: The TranS-C group showed significant improvement in depressive symptoms (pd = 0.84), insomnia severity (pd = 0.77), sleep disturbances (pd = 1.15), sleep-related impairment (pd = 1.22), fatigue (pd = 1.06), anxiety symptoms (p = .004, d = 0.67), quality of life (pd = 0.71), and sleep diary-derived parameters (psd = 0.12–0.77) relative to the CAU group at immediate posttreatment. These treatment gains remained significant at 12-week follow-up. Significant improvement in functional impairment was also noted at 12-week follow-up. Conclusions: TranS-C was efficacious and acceptable in alleviating depressive symptoms and sleep and circadian disruptions in adults with MDD. The group format appears to be a low-cost, widely disseminable option to deliver TranS-C. Further research on TranS-C to examine its benefits on other psychiatric disorders is warranted.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:33

Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol 109(2), Feb 2024, 157-168; doi:10.1037/apl0001113
Air pollution has become a global public health hazard leading to debilitating effects on physical, mental, and emotional health. Management research has just begun to explore the effects of air pollution on employees’ work life. Drawing from the transactional theory of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) and crossover theory (Westman, 2001), we argue that appraisal of air pollution is an important factor that influences leaders and their behavior with subordinates. Specifically, we propose that when leaders appraise severe air pollution, they are more likely to behave abusively toward their subordinates and engage in laissez-faire leadership. We also propose that this relationship is mediated by leaders’ experience of somatic complaints and negative affect. We test our model using an experience sampling study in India of leaders and followers who were located in different cities from each other. Overall, our results highlight how air pollution appraisals can harm not only the leader experiencing the pollution but also subordinates of those leaders. In other words, our counterintuitive finding is that subordinates may be harmed by air pollution to which they are not even directly exposed.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:33

Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2024, 1-13; doi:10.1037/ocp0000367
Perspective taking is encouraged by organizations as a form of supporting coworkers. Yet, its impact on employees’ and coworkers’ well-being is not well understood. We, therefore, take a dyadic approach to understand the daily dynamics of employees’ perspective taking, its benefits for coworkers, and its costs for employees themselves. Specifically, we draw from self-regulation theory to examine the double-edged sword of perspective taking for one’s own and one’s coworker’s well-being (reflected by subjective vitality). With regard to coworker well-being, we take an other-oriented resource lens and theorize that the focal employee’s perspective taking increases the coworker’s received support and well-being. With regard to the focal employee’s well-being, we take a self-oriented resource lens and theorize that perspective taking increases the focal employee’s self-regulatory resource depletion, which impairs their well-being. We examined our research model in a dyadic experience sampling study with three daily measurement occasions over 2 working weeks in a sample of 89 coworker dyads (178 individuals). Multilevel analyses showed that perspective taking had a positive indirect effect on coworker well-being via received coworker support, while it had a negative indirect effect on the focal employee’s well-being via self-regulatory resource depletion.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/ocp0000368/) The dynamic interplay of job characteristics and psychological capital with employee health: A longitudinal analysis of reciprocal effects.
Feb 20th 2024, 10:33

Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2024, 14-29; doi:10.1037/ocp0000368
The dynamic development of employee health is increasingly addressed by occupational health scholarships. Based on the job demands–resources theory, this study examines reciprocal relationships among job resources, job demands, psychological capital (PsyCap), work engagement, and burnout over time. We hypothesize that PsyCap, job resources, and work engagement are part of a reciprocal gain cycle that is based on static levels and changes in these variables. Further, we assume that PsyCap has multiplicative buffering and boosting relationships with job demands and burnout. We test our hypotheses using latent change score modeling with data from 661 employees surveyed over 3 consecutive months. The results reveal a complex reciprocal cycle between PsyCap, work engagement, and job resources. However, PsyCap does not interact with the reciprocal relationship between job demands and burnout, as it is directly reciprocally related to burnout and certain types of job demands. Against the background of these results, our study contributes to research and practice on the role of personal resources, specifically PsyCap, by identifying individual differences in change patterns and highlighting the importance of considering individual differences and temporal aspects in the context of occupational health.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:33

Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, Vol 133(2), Feb 2024, 129-139; doi:10.1037/abn0000890
Anxiety and depression are common among individuals with bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs), with anxiety being a risk factor for depression and vice versa. While the harmful effects of these symptoms are well recognized, their temporal dynamics have not been fully tested. To address this gap, our study investigated bidirectional relationships between anxiety and depression in individuals with BSDs using data from the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder, collected over an average of 11 years. We included 651 participants with various BSD subtypes (BD I, BD II, BD not otherwise specified, and schizoaffective bipolar type), with at least 5 years’ data for adequate statistical power in detecting temporal dynamics. Bimonthly measurements of anxiety and depression were analyzed using dynamic structural equation modeling. Beyond assessing autoregressive and cross-lagged effects, this study also investigated whether temporal dynamics differed based on demographic characteristics and the use of psychiatric medication. Our findings revealed that individuals with BSDs experienced significant fluctuations in anxiety and depression over time. In addition, we found significant autoregressive and cross-lagged effects of anxiety and depression. Comparison of the cross-lagged effects demonstrated that anxiety had a greater effect on subsequent depression than vice versa. Age and marital status impacted cross-lagged and autoregressive effects. Specifically, older participants had stronger temporal associations between depression and subsequent anxiety, while widowed participants exhibited a heightened impact of depression on subsequent depression. These results underscore the importance of early identification and integrative interventions aimed at addressing both anxiety and depression to mitigate subsequent symptoms in BSDs.

Feb 20th 2024, 10:33

Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Vol 29(1), Feb 2024, 30-44; doi:10.1037/ocp0000364
Negative cognitions and emotions about work during off-job time (e.g., worry about work tasks) can hinder the necessary recovery from work and lead to impaired occupational well-being. To better understand when this negative cognitive–affective involvement arises, we considered simultaneous and interactive effects of external and individual factors. Specifically, we investigated whether job demands (i.e., time pressure, cognitive demands, emotional demands) and maladaptive thinking patterns are independently and jointly related to negative cognitive–affective involvement and whether this is in turn associated with impaired occupational well-being (i.e., emotional exhaustion, cynicism). Using a diary study, we collected daily data from 109 employees twice a day over two working weeks (N = 667 day-level observations). Multilevel analyses showed that negative cognitive–affective involvement mediates the relationship between job demands (i.e., cognitive demands, emotional demands) and the two occupational well-being indicators. The relationship between cognitive and emotional demands, respectively, and negative cognitive–affective involvement is moderated by work-related maladaptive thinking patterns, with stronger relationships for employees reporting more frequent maladaptive thinking patterns. Moreover, work-related maladaptive thinking patterns moderate the indirect effects of job demands on occupational well-being via negative cognitive–affective involvement. Overall, we expanded the research on negative cognitive–affective involvement by providing a more comprehensive picture of its antecedents and outcomes.

Feb 20th 2024, 09:53

Abstract

Background
Psychotic symptoms may be less common than anxiety or affective symptoms, but they are still frequent and typically highly debilitating. Community members can have a role in helping to identify, offer initial help and facilitate access to mental health services of individuals experiencing psychosis. Mental health first aid guidelines for helping a person experiencing psychosis have been developed for the global north. This study aimed to adapt the English- language guidelines for Chile and Argentina.

Methods
A Delphi expert consensus study was conducted with two panels of experts, one of people with lived experience of psychosis (either their own or as a carer; n = 29) and another one of health professionals (n = 29). Overall, 249 survey items from the original English guidelines and 26 items suggested by the local team formed a total of 275 that were evaluated in the first round. Participants were invited to rate how essential or important those statements were for Chile and Argentina, and encouraged to suggest new statements if necessary. These were presented in a second round. Items with 80% of endorsement by both panels were included in the guidelines for Chile and Argentina.

Results
Data were obtained over two survey rounds. Consensus was achieved on 244 statements, including 26 statements locally generated for the second round. Almost 20% of the English statements were not endorsed (n = 50), showing the applicability of the original guidelines but also the importance of culturally adapting them. Attributions and tasks expected to be delivered by first aiders were shrunk in favour of a greater involvement of mental health professionals. Self-help strategies were mostly not endorsed and as were items relating to respecting the person’s autonomy.

Conclusions
While panellists agreed that first aiders should be aware of human rights principles, items based on recovery principles were only partially endorsed. Further research on the dissemination of these guidelines and development of a Mental Health First Aid training course for Chile and Argentina is still required.

Feb 20th 2024, 09:38

Abstract
Recent in-depth qualitative research indicates that different people ascribe different meanings to their apparently similar stances on immigrants’ entitlement to welfare. We are the first to investigate such variation quantitatively among the public-at-large, applying the novel method Correlational Class Analysis to an original survey fielded among a representative sample in the Netherlands (n = 2138). We uncover five ways of looking at immigrants’ entitlement to welfare, each including both people who oppose that entitlement and those who support it. People who adhere to these different viewpoints substantially differ when it comes to income, education, religious denomination, and political preference. We interpret these unique findings and discuss them in relation to the extant literature on welfare chauvinism. Moreover, uncovering what people’s stances regarding immigrants’ entitlement to welfare mean not only advances the scholarly debate on welfare chauvinism, but also provides a stepping stone for meaning-oriented sociological research on public opinion more generally.

Feb 20th 2024, 08:38

Abstract
Objectives
Accurate fall reporting is essential for assessing the effectiveness of fall prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate the level of agreement between incident reports and resident progress notes as data sources for falls monitoring in residential aged care facilities.
Methods
A retrospective observational study was conducted involving 46 older people from six residential aged care facilities who had consented to join the broader TOP UP trial. Fall events documented in the incident report system and resident progress notes over 12 months before randomisation were extracted by two independent reviewers using a standardised Excel form. Agreement between the two data collection methods was calculated using Cohen’s kappa coefficient.
Results
A total of 75 falls were recorded from 27 (59%) of the 46 participants who were 65% female, with an average age of 83 [SD 9] years. The incident reports captured 68 (90.7%) falls, while the progress notes captured 73 (97.3%) falls. Overall, there was a 75% agreement between falls recorded in progress notes and incident reports. Perfect agreement was identified for five facilities (n = 35), while one facility had a lower agreement rate of 29% (n = 11), which appeared to be attributable to staff shortages linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions
There was substantial agreement between incident reports and progress records. These findings support the use of incident reports for identifying falls in research or to investigate the effectiveness of fall prevention strategies in residential aged care facilities.

Feb 20th 2024, 08:29

Abstract
The high prevalence of mental disorders in university students emphasizes the need to explore contributing factors. While socioeconomic position affects mental health in the general population, it is crucial to investigate if the same applies to university students. MEDLINE-Ovid, Embase-Ovid and PsycINFO databases were searched. All original peer-reviewed observational studies quantifying the association between socioeconomic position and depression, anxiety or eating disorders were included without language or date restrictions. After initial screening, eligible studies were selected, data was extracted using a spreadsheet, and their quality was assessed with the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. The results were synthesized narratively. Seventy-eight of 20,465 records identified were included. Most studies were published in English and originated from high and upper-middle-income countries. The most common socioeconomic indicators were family socioeconomic status/class, financial stress, and parental education. Most studies found a positive association between socioeconomic indicators and depressive and anxiety symptoms, but not eating disorders. The quality of the studies was mixed, with a small proportion using validated measurement tools and appropriate sample sizes. This study highlights the importance of measuring socioeconomic position accurately and applying new methods that can reveal the causal pathways and interactions of multiple identities that shape mental health disparities for the university student population.

Feb 20th 2024, 07:38

Introduction
The aim of this study was to explore how resilience is manifested in the experiences of emerging adults who were subjected to bullying victimization in school and have high levels of psychological functioning in emerging adulthood.
Methods
Fifteen Swedish emerging adults (Mage = 29.13, SD = 0.52) who, despite experiences of bullying victimization at age 10, had high levels of psychological functioning as emerging adults were interviewed. The interviews focused on experiences of bullying victimization and the long-term outcomes of these experiences. Qualitative methods were used in the analysis, with a specific focus on resilience.
Results/Conclusion
The findings illustrate how long-term outcomes of bullying victimization in school, in relation to resilience, comprise a dynamic process between personal agency and social resources in the environmental context.

Feb 20th 2024, 05:36

Current Sociology, Ahead of Print. This article investigates precarious workers’ organising by considering the case of freelancers, a category between the self-employed – usually represented by employer organisations – and employees – whose interests are traditionally defended by trade unions. Drawing on a 6-month ethnography conducted in the Netherlands within two freelancer associations, our study shows their capacity to exercise collective forms of ‘critical agency’ – on the one hand, by questioning their established practices and seeking to innovate their repertoire, and on the other, by staging protest actions, despite the long Dutch tradition of consensus-based social dialogue. The aim of the article is twofold. First, it contributes to the debate on precarious workers’ organising by considering freelancers as agentic subjects, whose collective identity and organising practices shape and are shaped not only by the socio-institutional context, but also by the type of relationships they create and in which they are embedded. Second, by focusing on collective everyday practices as fields of production of the new, it illustrates diverse forms of critical agency exercised by freelancers, thus offering an empirical contribution to the understanding of critical agency in its making.

Feb 20th 2024, 04:34

Abstract
Introduction
In 2016, the UK government identified the need for counselling services in schools to be evidence-based (Department for Education, 2016). While there is more empirical evidence on counselling and improvement in mental health (Daniunaite et al., Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, 2015, 15, 251; Finning et al., European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2022, 31, 1591), less is known about the associations of counselling with children’s academic attainment and progress.
Method
The aim of the paper was to provide more pieces of evidence on the possible associations between school-based individual counselling and the academic attainment and progress of primary school–aged children. The academic outcomes of children receiving one-to-one counselling were compared with those of children who did not receive counselling, but who had similar background characteristics. Coarsened exact matching method was used to match similar children for these comparisons based on national data sets available in England. Data were analysed with inferential statistics and multilinear regression.
Findings
Before matching the samples, analyses revealed children attending Place2Be’s counselling services were significantly more likely to be boys (56.6% vs. 51.1%), of ethnic minority origin (46.4% vs. 21.5%), eligible for free school meals (FSM; 52.7% vs. 16.9%) and have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) status (43.1% vs. 21.1%) than the comparison group. They also had lower academic attainment than children who were not in counselling. However, after a coarsened exact matching on relevant background characteristics, the Place2Be sample was found to have similar levels of academic progress to the matched national sample, suggesting they did not fall behind similar children.
Conclusions
Findings indicate that individual school-based counselling may be helpful as a potential intervention for supporting vulnerable children’s (defined as those identified by schools or parents as in need of individual counselling) academic progress in primary schools, as well as socio-emotional outcomes; however, further research is needed.

Feb 20th 2024, 03:36

Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Ahead of Print. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of social anxiety disorder (SAD) among Malaysian secondary school students during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore its correlations with demographic variables, impulsivity behavior, and internet gaming disorder (IGD). A total of 1574 participants from 12 government secondary schools across five Malaysian states, comprising 569 males and 1005 females, completed an online questionnaire containing validated Malay versions of the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale – Short Form. The findings revealed a notable SAD prevalence rate of 40.53% among Malaysian adolescents. Logistic regression analysis unveiled significant associations between SAD and factors such as attention impulsiveness (OR = 2.58, p < .001), motor impulsiveness (OR = 1.47, p = .03), female gender (OR = 2, p < .001), Malay ethnicity, and IGD (OR = 1.08, p < .001). In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the extent of social anxiety experienced by Malaysian secondary school students during the pandemic, shedding light on the demographic and psychosocial factors linked to its emergence. Furthermore, the research underscores a robust link between IGD and SAD, emphasizing the need for comprehensive interventions addressing both issues concurrently. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of these associations, future interventions can be tailored to provide holistic support for adolescents’ mental well-being.
