Mar 22nd 2024, 14:44

Abstract
Self-esteem and emotion dysregulation appear to be important factors in the psychological well-being of trauma survivors. On the one hand, self-esteem may act as a shield against the psychological consequences of traumatic experiences; on the other hand, emotion regulation can affect the way individuals deal with post-traumatic affects (e.g., fear, terror, shame, and guilt). Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the role that emotion dysregulation and self-esteem play in the well-being of a sample of women after the traumatic experience of intimate partner violence (IPV). This study involved 282 women (meanage = 41.55, SD = 10.52) who experienced IPV in the last year. Conditional process analyses and Johnson-Neyman analysis for regions of significance were performed. The results showed that emotion dysregulation mediated the relationship between post-trauma affectivity (i.e., fear, terror, shame and guilt) and survivors’ well-being. Furthermore, self-esteem negatively predicted lack of well-being and acted as a moderator of the relationship between emotion dysregulation and lack of well-being. In this regard, through the Johnson-Neyman analysis for regions of significance, it was possible to identify a cut-off value above which the relationship between emotion dysregulation and lack of well-being became non-statistically significant. This study contributed to understanding the role that emotion dysregulation and self-esteem play in the well-being of IPV survivors. In this regard, clinical implications will be presented.

Mar 22nd 2024, 13:18

Abstract
Filial piety, a core value in Chinese culture, emphasizes the importance of children showing respect, obedience, and care toward their parents. The dual filial piety model distinguishes between reciprocal filial piety, associated with love and care, and authoritarian filial piety, associated with hierarchy. This study systematically reviewed the associations between dual filial piety and mental disorders and symptoms. The authors reviewed 17 studies among Chinese and Korean adolescents published between 2004 and 2022 on filial piety and mental disorders/symptoms and distinguished reciprocal filial piety and authoritarian filial piety based on the dual filial piety model. Meta-analyses based on quantitative analyses were also conducted to examine the relationship between dual filial piety and depression/anxiety. The results indicate that reciprocal filial piety is negatively associated with mental disorders/symptoms, including depression, anxiety, aggression, deviant behaviors, internet addiction, self-harm and eating disorders. Conversely, authoritarian filial piety is not related to mental disorders/symptoms but is negatively associated with suicide and positively associated with eating disorders. Based on the results, it is evident that filial piety has a significant relationship with various mental disorders and symptoms and that different forms of filial piety may have distinct associations with mental health.

Mar 22nd 2024, 12:38

Abstract
Friendships are beneficial to a person’s growth and well-being. People in close relationships may experience four types of self-change: self-expansion, self-pruning, self-contraction, and self-adulteration. The current cross-sectional research sought to investigate whether these relational self-change processes explain the links between friendship quality and well-being in same-sex best friendships. Study 1A (N = 187) adapted the Turkish Relational Self-Change Scale to the friendship context and confirmed its psychometric adequacy in addressing friendship-based self-changes in Türkiye. Study 1B (N = 306) examined the links between different friendship functions and relational self-changes, as well as whether relational self-changes explain the link between friendship quality and ontological well-being. Among the specific friendship functions, stimulating companionship and self-validation were related to self-expansion and self-pruning, whereas reliable alliance was related to self-contraction and self-adulteration. Self-adulteration also indirectly explained the relationship between friendship quality and ontological well-being. Study 2 (N = 204) revealed that only self-pruning explained the link between perceived friend responsiveness and overall well-being. The contributions of friendships to self-change and personal well-being were discussed in light of the findings.

Mar 22nd 2024, 10:38

Abstract
Conducting a job search implies the identification of a target—an intended job. However, this assumption has been little studied, and just two main conclusions have been drawn, namely: jobseekers have an incentive to adjust their targets to the jobs available, and returning to work tends to lead to occupational downgrading. This article explores how job search experiences shape and alter targets. Biographical interviews were conducted with 57 unemployed people registered with the French public employment service. Ultimately, all of them revise their occupational expectations as, faced with the uncertainties inherent to the job search and experiencing difficulties in reaching their priority targets, they try to adapt and define more realistic goals. Four contrasting processes of expectation revision are used to track these tensions between desirability and realism. In conclusion, we stress the following facts: that unemployed people are flexible and develop rationales in order to adapt to the labour market; that their experience of failure, alongside advice and beliefs arising in the course of the job search feed directly into these revisions, and that these revisions both vary in magnitude and reflect inequalities in the defining process of target jobs.

Mar 22nd 2024, 09:37

Effective child obesity interventions remain frustratingly elusive. Obesity continues to affect 1 in 5 children with disproportionate impacts on non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children.1 In this issue of Pediatrics, Resnicow et al describe the results of a promising multisite randomized controlled trial of a primary care-based, motivational interviewing intervention.2 The multicomponent intervention resulted in a greater increase in BMI percent 95 (BMI percent 95 is the percentage of the 95th percentile and used for tracking change among those with obesity) for intervention children versus children receiving usual care. These findings reflect the complexity of treating obesity in “real-world settings.”

Mar 22nd 2024, 06:26

Abstract
This article examines how the threat of eviction by a transnational land deal in coastal Tanzania shaped competing narratives with which longtime residents and migrants defended and legitimated the moral economy of land: a widely shared customary norm that land belonged to those who cleared, occupied, and used it continuously for their daily provisioning, with or without title deeds. To counter the state’s claim that all villagers were “invaders,” long-term residents appealed to their ethnic and ancestral connections to the land, while migrants invoked a broader idiom of agrarian citizenship that placed land entitlements at the heart of rural people’s relationship with the state. Despite this divergence, nervousness similarly pervaded both group’s narratives, due in part to the instability of the notion of ethnicity and autochthony in coastal Tanzania and people’s historically informed sense of foreboding about state-sanctioned dispossession. The article draws on the analytic of assemblage to advance a more relational and dynamic understanding of the co-construction and performance of moral economy and rural identity. Analyzing how villagers imagine and articulate their identities, and how discourses of exclusion and belonging get deployed in conjunctures of displacement is critical to understanding the socio-material realities of rural life in Tanzania today.

Mar 22nd 2024, 04:51

Recently clinicians have become more reliant on technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for effective and accurate diagnosis and prognosis of diseases, especially mental health disorders. These remarks, however, apply primarily to Europe, the USA, China and other technologically developed nations. Africa is yet to leverage the potential applications of AI and ML within the medical space. Sub-Saharan African countries are currently disadvantaged economically and infrastructure-wise. Yet precisely, these circumstances create significant opportunities for the deployment of medical AI, which has already been deployed in some places in the continent. However, while AI and ML have come with enormous promises in Africa, there are still challenges when it comes to successfully applying AI and ML designed elsewhere within the African context, especially in diagnosing mental health disorders. We argue, in this paper, that there ought not to be a homogeneous/generic design of AI and ML used in diagnosing mental health disorders. Our claim is grounded on the premise that mental health disorders cannot be diagnosed solely on ‘factual evidence’ but on both factual evidence and value-laden judgements of what constitutes mental health disorders in sub-Saharan Africa. For ML to play a successful role in diagnosing mental health disorders in sub-Saharan African medical spaces, with a precise focus on South Africa, we allude that it ought to understand what sub-Saharan Africans consider as mental health disorders, that is, the value-laden judgements of some conditions.

Mar 22nd 2024, 03:42

Abstract

Purpose
Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among women worldwide. Many recently diagnosed and treated breast cancer patients complain about sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, stress, and fatigue. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality among breast cancer patients and to assess its association with psychological disorders, and socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted among women who received radiotherapy for breast cancer (stage 1–3) at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City-Jeddah from January to August 2021. Each participant completed a personal information form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Clinical data were collected from the medical records to evaluate certain risk factors. Descriptive statistics were used for participant characteristics, and analyses of variance were used to assess associations between the qualitative variables.

Results
Fifty-six women with a mean age of 50.1 years and an average of 10 months after cancer diagnosis were included. Poor sleep quality was present in 58% of respondents. Symptomatic depression, anxiety, and stress were found in 34%, 32%, and 30% of women, respectively. Poor sleep quality was associated with depression (p = 0.031), anxiety (p = 0.03), and stress (p = 0.024) and was independently associated with hot flashes. In multivariate analysis, patients with depression or with cancer for more than 6 months were less likely to have good sleep after controlling other variables (21.74 and 14.71 times, respectively).

Conclusion
Poor sleep quality was present in 58% of women with breast cancer receiving radiotherapy and was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, stress, and hot flashes. Depression level and cancer duration were significant predictors of sleep quality. Early identification and proper management of psychological and sleep disorders are necessary to improve the quality of life and survival of breast cancer patients.

Mar 22nd 2024, 02:37

Behavior Analysis: Research and Practice, Vol 24(1), Feb 2024, 44-55; doi:10.1037/bar0000283
The following article details the use of comprehensive positive interaction training intervention based upon a brief functional analysis (BFA) and treatment intervention for a male with an autism spectrum disorder. The young man was living in a community-based apartment setting that had been funded by a private health system in Italy. He was consistently engaging in property destruction and aggressive behavior toward staff. A BFA was completed as well as an assessment of the interaction style that the staff in the home were employing. It was discovered that his aggressive behavior was being maintained by attention from staff as well as by escape from demands. A function-based intervention was put into place whereby staff’s interaction patterns were examined and found to be lacking with respect to appropriate interaction skills. Once the function-based intervention was implemented, significant decreases in aggressive behavior occurred as well as concomitant increases in appropriate community access.

This article is concerned with the transition of a longitudinal survey from a single-mode design to a web-first mixed-mode design and the role that text messages to sample members can play in smoothing that transition. We present the results of an experiment that investigates the effects of augmenting the contact strategy of letters and emails with text messages, inviting the sample members to complete a web questionnaire and reminding them of the invite. The experiment was conducted in a subsample of Understanding Society, a household panel survey in the United Kingdom, in the wave that transitioned from a CAPI-only design to a sequential design combining web and CATI. In the experiment, a quarter of the sample received letters and emails, while the rest received between one and three text messages with a personalized link to the questionnaire. We examine the effect of the text messages on response rates, both at the web phase of a sequential design and at the end of the fieldwork after a CATI follow-up phase, and explore various mechanisms that might drive the increase in response rates. We also look at the effects on the device used to complete the survey and field efforts needed at the CATI stage. The findings indicate that text messages did not help to significantly increase response rates overall, although some subgroups benefited from them, such as panel members who had not provided an email or postal address before. Likewise, the text messages increased web completion among younger panel members and those with an irregular response pattern. We only found a slight and nonsignificant effect on smartphone use and no effect on the web household response rate, a proxy for fieldwork efforts.

Mar 22nd 2024, 01:20

Abstract
Background
This analysis posits that COVID-19-related worker mental distress may be different for those continuously employed and for those who faced temporary job loss.
Methods
Mental distress during COVID-19 is characterized using two nationally representative surveys, the American Trend Panel (ATP) and the Household Pulse Survey (HPS). Using a probit model, we examine workplace perceptions for the mentally distressed in the ATP sample. We use graphical analysis to identify barriers to seeking mental healthcare using the 2021–22 HPS sample.
Results
In October 2020, the probability of mental distress increased between 7.1 and 9.1 percentage points in response to worsening work–life balance, lowered job security, lowered work productivity and lowered work satisfaction. Workers’ perception of advancement denial and poor connectivity with coworkers increased the probability of mental distress by 3.0–5.8 percentage points. In October 2021, over 40% of workers who had experienced job loss reported mental distress as compared to 20% of those with jobs. Only 25% of those with mental distress sought counseling. These high levels of mental distress continued into October 2022.
Conclusions
Mitigation strategies for worker mental health should include prosocial nudges, attention to employment history, managerial sensitivity and worker resilience training.
