Jul 14th 2024, 15:59

Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an alteration characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. In this study, we searched for potential alterations in language discrimination during N400 recordings and lateralization of these anomalies. We performed this study in children with ADHD combined presentation (-C), their asymptomatic siblings, and controls. N400 was obtained during discrimination of semantically related and non-related words near the pars triangularis and pars opercularis in the frontal lobe and in the posterior superior temporal gyrus (pSTG) of both hemispheres. We found no differences in the reaction time or percentage of correct answers among children with ADHD-C, siblings, and controls. Children with ADHD-C had lower amplitude and delayed latency in the pars triangularis and pars opercularis mainly in the left hemisphere. Siblings also had delayed latency in N400 at the pars triangularis and opercularis in the left hemisphere. Children with ADHD-C also showed alteration in lateralization of N400 wave towards the right hemisphere. In conclusion, children with ADHD-C had lower amplitude and latency delay in the N400 wave compared to controls, as well as changes in hemispheric lateralization during semantically related word discrimination in language-related cortical sites. Siblings had intermediate values between children with ADHD-C and controls.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:58

Abstract
Existing literature suggests that the symptomatology for adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have serious implications for parenting behavior. Although presentation of symptoms for adults with ADHD may negatively impact ability to successfully and confidently fulfill parenting responsibilities (e.g., involvement and responsiveness, timeliness, organization, routine), far less is known about how the disorder affects children in the home. The few qualitative studies identifying this issue are limited in breadth and include either unclear interpretations of analyses or a sample consisting of children under the age of 18. The current study addressed this chasm by assessing retrospective experiences of emerging adults who grew up with a parent with ADHD. The study included 16 semi-structured interviews with emerging adults aged 18 to 25 and used thematic analysis to examine themes across individuals. Analyses revealed that individuals often felt an inherent responsibility for their parent’s ADHD symptoms, and subsequent feelings of guilt and resignation. Additionally, individuals identified a lasting, existential impact on the way they viewed the world and the persons around them resulting from their experiences with ADHD parents. Finally, a large aspect of growing up with ADHD parents was navigating assumptions about parenting responsibilities which were perceived as shattered as a direct result of ADHD symptomatology. By advancing our understanding of ADHD and its impact on the home environment from these children’s perspectives, this project has implications for family science and the broader behavioral health field, placing an emphasis on family-based approaches to disorder education and advocacy.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:58

Abstract
Family and social support can enhance our perception of our ability to cope with stressful life events, as well as our psychological flexibility and mental well-being. The main goal of this unique study was to explore how a complex interplay of family, social, and personal factors contribute to mental well-being and life satisfaction. We hypothesized that differentiation of self (DoS) and social support (from family, friends, and significant others) would be positively associated with mental well-being and life satisfaction through the mediation of resilience. The sample included 460 participants (mean age 45.2; 236 males), who filled out questionnaires examining DoS, social support, resilience, mental well-being, and life satisfaction. In light of gender disparities evident in both existing literature and the current study, we analyzed the model separately for women and men. The findings revealed a mediation model, indicating that resilience mediated the relationship between two dimensions of DoS (emotional reactivity and I-position) and mental well-being for males, while DoS and social support contributed to women’s mental well-being without the mediation of resilience. Two factors emerged as contributors to improved mental well-being and life satisfaction: DoS and social support. Specifically, DoS was deemed important for both men and women, while social support emerged as a crucial dimension mainly for women.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:58

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal relationship between different levels of cognitively stimulating leisure activity (CSLA) participation and three cognitive functions (i.e., memory, working memory, attention and processing speed) among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study used Health and Retirement Study (HRS) data from 2012 to 2020 (n = 5932) and conducted repeated-measured multivariate analysis of covariance (RM-MANCOVA). The results indicated the following: (a) the high level CSLA participation group were found to have higher levels of memory, working memory, and attention and processing speed than the mid and low-level participation groups. The mid-CSLA participation group was found to have higher levels of working memory, and attention and processing speed than the low level CSLA participation group; (b) significant differences in all three cognitive functions were found between years with a declining slope, but the differences between 2014 and the other years of the data set that were examined were not significant; (c) the high-level CSLA participation group consistently exhibited higher cognitive function levels during the study period and maintained a similar level of cognitive functions compared to the other groups. By incorporating the findings of this study into clinical guidelines, healthcare providers will be able to offer an optimal level of CSLA programming at least three to four times a week. Furthermore, efforts should be made to create strategies to overcome the barriers to CSLA participation encountered by MCI older adults including inadequate caregiver support and financial constraints by establishing public care services and community support networks.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:58

Abstract
Problematic anger as a symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent in military populations, including Veterans. Existing anger management programs may be underutilized due to barriers to accessing standard care. Mobile applications (apps) for anger management could increase access to care while using minimal resources. The current mixed-methods pilot study evaluated the satisfaction and helpfulness of the Anger and Irritability Management Skills (AIMS) app, a self-manageable mobile app developed by the VA’s National Center for PTSD for individuals struggling with anger. Veterans (N = 23) were recruited from the women’s (n = 6) and men’s (n = 15) residential Trauma Recovery Program at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. Participants completed the Anger Expression Index (AEI) before and after using AIMS in a self-directed manner for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, they also completed a satisfaction survey and participated in a qualitative focus group to share experiences and opinions about the app to inform future app updates. Paired samples t-tests were used to examine changes in AEI scores. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the perceived helpfulness of AIMS. Qualitative data were examined using Rapid Qualitative Analysis and themes were identified using matrix analysis. Perceived helpfulness of the AIMS app was rated, on average, between moderately to very helpful, and app satisfaction was rated between moderately to very satisfied. AEI scores significantly reduced from pre- to post-app use. Qualitative results revealed four themes: (1) symptom monitoring, (2) tailoring app use to fit users’ needs, (3) potential as a self-management resource, and (4) potential as a supplement to care. Participants generally perceived AIMS to be helpful for managing their anger and they were satisfied with the app, indicating preliminary acceptability and helpfulness of the app. Future studies with a larger sample size to explore novel ways to increase app dissemination efforts and explore using AIMS in other healthcare settings are warranted.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:57

Abstract
Presently, people focus their attention on their phones while communicating. The behavior known as phubbing is considered a new behavioral addiction. It may lead to many problems in the relationships of adolescents and adults. Therefore, we aimed to examine the measurement invariance of the short-form development of the generic scale of being phubbed and phubbing across two study samples among Turkish adolescents and young adults. A team of 12 experts was assigned the task of translating and back-translating the scales in accordance with the test adaptation guide. The data were collected from 451 Turkish adolescents (n = 206 high school students) and young adults (n = 245 university students). The measurement invariance of adolescents and young adults was investigated using a confirmatory factor analysis, in which increasingly strict equality constraints were applied to model parameters. Based on the model’s results, both the three-factor 12-item General Phubbed Being Scale (GSBP) and the four-factor 12-item General Phubbing Scale (GSP) were found to have good construct validity. A measurement invariance analysis showed that both GSBP and GSP were reliable and valid in both sample groups (i.e., adolescents and adults) to measure phubbing. These results will facilitate the identification of phubbing behaviors that adolescents and young adults exhibit and are exposed to. Moreover, this study provides short and effective measurement tools that can be used in studies to prevent and intervene in phubbing behavior.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:56

Abstract
Sensor-based technologies can collect objective and real-time data on physiological, behavioral, and contextual factors related to mental disorders. This not only holds potential for mental healthcare but also comes with challenges, such as handling large amounts of data and supporting the integration of sensors in clinical practice. This systematic scoping review aims to provide an overview of studies explicitly addressing the integration of sensor-based technology in mental healthcare by reporting on the way that therapists and patients work with sensors. In addition, we explore barriers and facilitators for the integration of sensor-based technology in clinical practice. Four databases were searched on April 5, 2023. Studies on sensor-based technology integrated in mental healthcare were included. A total of 14 studies were included. In these studies, a variety of sensor-based technologies were used. All studies were conducted between 2016 and 2022. Most studies showed that sensor-based technologies are accepted by patients and that their use is associated with symptom reduction. However, most studies did not systematically report on barriers and facilitators and mainly focused on the technology itself rather than on the broader context of its intended use. Also, sensor-based technologies are not yet embedded in clinical protocols. From the current review, we can conclude that sensor-based technologies are sufficiently accepted and feasible, and that sensors are promising for enhancing clinical outcomes. However, sensors are not properly integrated in treatment protocols yet. Therefore, we propose a next phase in research on sensor-based technology in mental healthcare treatment. This next phase asks for a multifaceted approach consisting of (1) embedding sensor-based technology in treatment protocols in co-creation with patients and clinicians, (2) examining the feasibility of these interventions together with small-scale evidence studies, and (3) systematically examining the implementation of sensor-based technology in clinical practice using existing frameworks for technology implementation.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:56

Abstract
Increased acceptability and implementation of online instruction in higher education has increased the diversity of students that are being taught within a course. Online courses are more likely to include students from varying geographic regions and countries, as well as students of various races, cultures, and ethnicities. This study reviews conceptual and empirical peer-reviewed articles to assess existing strategies to increase the engagement of culturally diverse students in higher education. The search was conducted on PsycINFO and ERIC databases to find articles that were: published in peer-reviewed journals prior to January 2023, included students of a higher education institution where courses were taught at least partially online, reported students’ cultures and linked directly them to student engagement, and were available in English. Thirty-one articles fit the inclusion criteria and were analyzed, by two independent raters, across the measures of research methodology, participant demographics, course format, dependent and independent variables, identified cultural barriers, outcomes, and recommendations. Implications for educators are reviewed and included strategies that involve: timing and pacing manipulations, modifications to course flexibility, attention to language use, strategies for accessing help, increasing material accessibility, providing cultural training, implementing the use of tutors/mentors, strengthening peer collaboration, and increasing compassion.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:56

Abstract
Functional behavior assessment (FBA) and function-based interventions are empirically validated interventions employed in schools. Teachers play a necessary role in the development and implementation of these individualized behavior plans to prevent and manage student challenging behavior. The current study sought to conduct a scoping review on the content and instructional delivery of FBA and function-based interventions’ training for in-service teachers. We employed methods consistent with standards for systematic review and meta-analysis (e.g., Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses [PRISMA]). The methodological rigor of included studies was also evaluated using Cochrane’s tool for assessing the risk of bias and what works clearinghouse guidelines for group and single case experimental design studies, respectively. Five databases were searched, and our initial search yielded 20,827 articles. After deleting duplicates on Endnote 9, titles and abstracts were screened by two independent reviewers resulting in 177 articles for full text article screening. Full text article screening across two independent reviewers resulted in nine studies for further thematic analyses of results based on this scoping review’s inclusion criteria.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:56

Abstract
Play, positioned powerfully in many cultures as a human right, is massively heterogeneous and resists a one-size-fits-all definition. Compared to typically developing individuals, researchers have characterized play in some individuals with autism as repetitive, stereotypical, less imaginative, and isolated. As such, the effectiveness, acceptability, and overall value of play-based interventions for individuals with autism have focused on discrete skills that facilitate normative play as opposed to the essence of play, such as playfulness and joy. The purpose of the current study was to use a mixed-method analysis to examine the effects of a video modeling-based play intervention implemented using a single-case multiple-probe design across playsets for a preschooler with autism. Visual analysis indicated that video modeling alone was not effective in enhancing scripted play, but combining video modeling with in situ modeling improved the participant’s explicitly taught play. Our interaction analysis highlights five themes, providing nuanced insights into the participant’s play that would not be otherwise captured through quantitative methods. Implications of adopting mixed-method analytical approaches to play in autism are also discussed.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:56

Abstract
Approximately 50% of US students attend a school with a school officer. The Positive School Safety Program (PSSP) is a 16-session, manualized peer-to-peer coaching program that teaches school officers positive approaches to behavioral management (e.g., trauma-informed reinforcement strategies) to enhance interactions with students, improve school climate, and reduce school-based arrests. A convergent, mixed methods longitudinal design was used to investigate the implementation process and outcomes of the PSSP among school safety officer coaches in the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) who were trained in the 2020–2021 school year. Via surveys, officer coaches (n = 25) provided quantitative data at three time points regarding their knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in utilizing positive approaches to behavioral management and trauma-informed skills, as well as their mindset toward coaching. These data were analyzed using mixed effects modeling. Perceptions of program acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility were assessed post-training and analyzed descriptively. Qualitative interviews, informed by the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework, were conducted with coaches and untrained school officers and were analyzed via thematic analysis. Significant changes over the course of training were detected in coaches’ knowledge, confidence, and their willingness to use the skills, which aligned with coaches’ qualitative self-reports. Coaches agreed that the PSSP was acceptable, appropriate, and feasible. School districts interested in improving school climate and reducing school-based arrests by using the PSSP, or similar peer-to-peer coaching programs, should consider how they will target identified determinants to support successful implementation in their unique contexts.

Jul 14th 2024, 15:55

Abstract
This study examined the effect of memory impairment on the Word Memory Test (WMT) and investigated whether multiple alternate interpretative algorithms, including the previously validated genuine memory impairment profile (GMIP) and a novel primary validity indices mean (PVIM) composite score, improved its accuracy as a performance validity test (PVT) among examinees with genuine memory impairment. Data from 91 veterans administered the WMT, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R), and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) during clinical evaluations were examined. Validity groups were established by four independent criterion PVTs (57 valid/34 invalid). Learning/memory impairment was determined by HVLT-R and BVMT-R. WMT primary validity subtests accurately differentiated valid from invalid groups overall and when the sample was subdivided by memory impairment; however, the optimal cut scores were lower than the WMT manual-recommended cutoff to maintain adequate specificity among those with memory impairment, which substantially decreased sensitivity. The GMIP significantly improved specificity (97%), but sensitivity remained weak (53%) when strict quantitative criteria were used. By contrast, use of the full GMIP criteria (quantitative criteria plus clinical history) resulted in 88% sensitivity/95% specificity. The novel PVIM had 85% sensitivity/88% specificity at optimal cutoff, supporting its utility as an alternate algorithm. Strictly adhering to the WMT manual-recommended cut score for patients with significant learning/memory impairment increases the risk of misclassifying these examinees as invalid performers. Alternate interpretive algorithms, such as the GMIP and PVIM, adequately mitigate this issue and enhance the accuracy of the WMT as a PVT, but should only be applied in clinical conditions empirically associated with significant neuropsychological impairment.
