May 7th 2024, 15:19

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the process of recovery from the perspective of people with schizophrenia and caregivers participating in a cultural and artistic project of a Non-Governmental Organization in São Paulo, Brazil. Five users with schizophrenia and their caregivers were interviewed by the first author, who had lived experience perspective and training in mental health research. A semi-structured interview guide was adopted (user and caregiver versions), designed to understand their knowledge, experiences, and perceptions of recovery from mental health problems. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was adopted to explore how each participant interpreted their own experiences. Respondents reported that friendship and social interactions emerged as an element of change in the cultural and artistic project working groups, which workshops helped in the development of personal skills, providing motivation for everyday life. Caregivers linked such changes more directly to the project activities than users with schizophrenia. This study was the first to investigate recovery-oriented activities promoted by Non-Governmental Organizations. Our findings suggest that such activities might be a valuable tool to promote recovery in contexts where this process is not yet officially incorporated in mental health policy.

May 7th 2024, 14:18

Abstract
This study examined the development of the therapy alliance over the first six sessions of couple therapy using a dyadic latent growth curve. The role of relationship adjustment, symptom distress, and attachment to alliance development were also examined. Participants were 165 couples in a treatment-as-usual setting. The alliance increased over the first six therapy sessions for males and females with males following a curvilinear pattern of growth. Additionally, female relationship adjustment was related to initial alliance levels for females while symptom distress was related to female alliance development. Male attachment avoidance and female attachment anxiety were related to male initial alliance. Couple therapists need to pay attention to intake level of female adjustment, symptom distress, and attachment—along with male attachment, as these are related to alliance development. Therapists should also be mindful that female and male alliance follow a different developmental trajectory.

May 7th 2024, 14:18

Abstract
Although stair-climbing intervals provide a simple mode of physical activity that can be easily carried out in naturalistic settings and incorporated into the daily lives of a significant proportion of the global population, addressing physical inactivity issues, very little research has focused on the psychological benefits of stair climbing. To address this, the current prospectively registered randomized controlled crossover trial tested whether brief bouts of stair climbing (6 × 1 min intervals) elicit immediate subsequent improvements in cognitive performance and mood in a sample of healthy young adults (final sample: n = 52, 50% female, age range 18–24 years), with consideration of sex, physical activity habits, and exercise intensity as potentially relevant variables. Compared to a no-exercise control session, following the stair climbing participants exhibited superior cognitive switching performance and reported feeling more energetic and happy. In addition, linear regression analyses linked higher stair-climbing intensity (indicated by heart-rate data) to faster response latencies. None of the effects depended on sex or physical activity habits, which implies that males and females can benefit irrespective of their current physical activity habits. Collectively, these results demonstrate that interval stair climbing can confer immediate psychological benefits, providing further evidence in support of stair climbing as a promising means to address physical inactivity issues.

May 7th 2024, 13:18

Abstract
The present study examined the structure of the NEPSY-II within the norming sample using exploratory factor analysis. For the 3–4-year-old group, our results were conceptually uninterpretable. As a result, a unidimensional model was retained by default as a remedy to local fit issues. For the 7–12-year-old group, our analysis supported some aspects of the NEPSY-II conceptual domains in the form of a six-factor model that yielded the best fit to the data. While variance partitioning results indicate that the majority of NEPSY-II subtests at ages 7–12 contain adequate specificity to be interpreted in isolation, caution is suggested for interpreting the Social Perception subtests; in particular, given the inability to locate that latent dimension in either of the analyses conducted. Implications for the clinical interpretation of the instrument moving forward are discussed.

May 7th 2024, 13:17

Abstract
Engaging in cognitively stimulating activities such as playing video games consistently over a sustained period of time may confer cognitive benefits. However, it is not currently understood if playing video games regularly over the lifespan may promote resiliency to cognitive decline in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In the present study, we investigated the association between the history of playing video games and neuropsychological performance in people with MS (PwMS). A total of 42 PwMS completed neuropsychological tests primarily from the Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Functioning in MS (MACFIMS) battery. Study participants also estimated how many hours of video games they played per week over their adult life. Linear regression analyses indicated that greater estimated hours playing video games was significantly associated with better performance on an index of global cognitive performance, the Delis-Kaplan Executive Functioning System Card Sorting test score, and the learning trials of the California Verbal Learning Test (second edition) and the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (Revised). These relationships were significant while controlling for age, disease duration, and estimated premorbid IQ. Secondary analyses revealed that video game playing was also a better predictor of visuospatial learning, short-term memory, and executive functioning performance than other variables that have also previously been associated with the accumulation of cognitive reserve. The findings suggest that playing video games consistently through adulthood is associated with better cognitive outcomes in PwMS, particularly in the domains of new learning and executive functioning.

May 7th 2024, 12:18

Abstract
Finding effective interventions and best practices for families during the divorce or separation process has been prevalent for many years due to the continuous impact that divorce has on families and the greater society. To meet the needs of the community, two mental health professionals developed and facilitated a parent education course targeting the reduction of coparental conflict. Due to the unique attributes of the course, researchers began a quantitative study of the program by having participants complete pre- and post-surveys. The final sample for this study consisted of 212 parent participants. Findings from the data are reported along with implications for facilitators, program developers, mental health providers, and future researchers.

May 7th 2024, 11:19

Abstract
In this reflective article, I explore and share my personal journey through the nuances of mental health care, focusing on the indispensable role of warmth and empathy within different levels of mental health systems. Living with bipolar I disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder, I reflect on the difficulties of accessing empathetic and welcoming care, and the transformative influence of common factors, specifically, the therapeutic relationship. Based on my interactions with several care providers, I emphasize the significant impact of empathy, warmth, and positive regard in developing and maintaining hope and resilience. I advocate for a shift toward more empathetic mental health systems, requesting professionals, researchers and educators in the field of psychology to prioritize these foundational values in practice and training. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I shed light on the potential of the relationship between the mental health care provider and the client in shaping more warm and empathetic mental health systems.

May 7th 2024, 10:13

Abstract
The outsider phenomenon is an existential pathology interrelated with the need to belong. It is a group related experience that has developmental foundations. W. R. D. Fairbairn (1952), was one of the first psychoanalysts who systematically challenged Freudian theory, and located the human experience within social relationships. Fairbairn (1935) suggested that the family is the first social group, leading to affiliations with important groups external to the family. This paper extrapolates from Fairbairn’s ideas about schizoid character, which is an interpersonal experience, to group experiences in a family and with identity groups. Fairbairn’s notions about the unavoidable activation of schizoid processes may help us understand what makes the outsider experience so pervasive.

May 7th 2024, 10:11

Abstract
Naturalistic observation of verbal behavior on social media is a method of gathering data on the acceptability of topics of social interest. In other words, online social opinion may be a modern-day measure of social validity. We sought to gain an objective understanding of online discourse related to the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA). We analyzed Twitter posts related to ABA (e.g., #ABA, #BehaviorAnalysis, #appliedbehavioranalysis). Our initial sample consisted of 119,911 tweets from 2012 to 2022. We selected a random subset (n = 11,000) for further analysis using a stratified sampling procedure to ensure that tweets across years were adequately represented. Two observers were trained to code tweets for relevance and sentiment toward the field. A total of 5,408 relevant tweets were identified and analyzed, with an arithmetic mean of 492 tweets per year. Tweets were categorized as having neutral (51.41%), positive (43.81%), or negative (4.79%) sentiment. Negative sentiment tweets received approximately three times higher engagement scores compared to positive and neutral tweets. Positive sentiment tweets commonly used hashtags related to special education, therapy, behavior analysis, autism, and specific individuals. Negative sentiment tweets focused on the harmful effects of ABA, disability, variations of ABA, and promoting alternatives to ABA. Our results suggest that there is a small but vocal minority that has the potential to shape the narrative on ABA. We suggest a path forward for behavior analysts in the study of the online discourse on ABA.

May 7th 2024, 09:16

Abstract
Adolescents involved in the juvenile legal system (JLS) have higher rates of mental health treatment needs compared to their non-justice-involved peers, and they experience disproportionate rates of trauma exposure and trauma-related psychosocial concerns. Most research comparing these adolescent groups draws data from separate studies, making it more challenging to understand meaningful differences between the two groups. Research documenting making such comparisons can guide prevention and intervention strategies for communities and their juvenile detention centers. The current study involves a secondary data analysis of billing claims from an outpatient community clinic with a satellite location embedded in the local juvenile detention center. Descriptive statistics determined the top five primary diagnoses in the sample apart from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): major depressive disorder, ADHD, adjustment disorder, unspecified trauma and stressor-related disorder (UTD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Hierarchical logistic regression models were used to understand if being evaluated in a detention or community setting, sex, and age predicted the likelihood of having one of these top primary diagnoses. Participants (n = 981) were adolescents ages 12–20 (Mage = 15.93 years, SDage = 1.924, 60.6% male) seen for psychiatric evaluation in a community mental health agency and a juvenile detention facility. Among detained adolescents (n = 635), 141 were diagnosed with PTSD (22.2%), compared to 36 in the community clinic (10.4%). The odds of an adolescent in detention receiving a PTSD diagnosis were 2.5 times higher compared to adolescents evaluated in the community (p < 0.001, ExpB 2.54). There was a decreased likelihood for adolescents to receive a GAD or UTD diagnosis while in detention. In this sample, adolescents evaluated in detention had significantly higher odds of being diagnosed with PTSD and a lower likelihood of receiving GAD or UTD that was not PTSD. This finding supports previous literature that adolescents in detention have higher rates of PTSD than their peers in the community. It is crucial to implement evidence-based trauma treatment in detention settings, and research should continue to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of these interventions.

May 7th 2024, 08:16

Abstract
Integrating microintervention strategies and the bystander intervention model, we examined social cognitive predictors (i.e., moral disengagement, empathy, and self-efficacy) of the five steps of the bystander intervention model (i.e., Notice, Interpret, Accept, Know, and Act) to address racial microaggressions in a sample of 452 racially diverse college students. Data were collected using an online survey. Path analyses showed that moral disengagement was significantly and negatively related to each step of the model for White students, but for students of color, it was only significantly negatively associated with Act. Empathy was significantly and positively associated with Interpret, Accept, and Act for White students. For student of color, however, there was a significant and positive association solely between Empathy and Act. For both White students and students of color, self-efficacy was positively associated with Notice, Interpret, Accept, Know, and Act. Finally, race did not significantly moderate any relationships. Strengths, limitations, future directions for research, and implications of the study findings are discussed.

May 7th 2024, 07:16

Abstract
Despite some early starts, such as Seekins and Fawcett’s, The Behavior Analyst, 9, 35–45, (1986) description of the stages of public policy making and the ABAI task force on public policy headed by Fawcett et al, The Behavior Analyst, 11, 11–25, (1988), little progress has been made to bring the field of behavior analysis up to the standards of other professions (e.g., pediatrics) in the area of advocacy. In this article we will use experiences in advocating for the profession of behavior analysis in the state of New York to encourage behavior analysts to become involved in advocacy in their state (locally, regionally, state-wide). Further, we suggest that the experiences and observations of professionals who are experts at advocating on a national level (e.g., pediatricians) may be important in encouraging behavior analysts to establish a national advocacy platform. In addition, this article will attempt to make the case as to why it is critical that behavior analysts seek and adopt leadership positions municipally, at the state level, nationally, and even internationally, in the area of advocacy. Finally, we will suggest that there is a need to integrate advocacy into the training and daily activity of behavior analysts and why the field might now be ready for this shift, as we stand on the shoulders of giants.

May 7th 2024, 06:16

Abstract
In recent decades, the Government of Liberia (GOL) and international partners have prioritized combatting child sexual abuse, including illicit and harmful early sexual practices involving girls and adult men. Previous studies indicate high rape rates among Liberian female populations, yet more research on specific forms of abuse is needed to better understand the magnitude of the problem. Applying Bronfenbrenner’s ecological framework, this paper presents the results of a 2018 mixed-methods study of 719 Liberian young women (ages 18–35) and 493 of their parents, from urban/rural districts in Montserrado. The purpose is to contribute a large-scale representative study establishing the rate of female statutory rape and key correlates. The survey captures data measuring early sexual activity (ESA), education, socio-economic status, demographics, and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KABs) associated with cultural ethnic customs, rural/urban settings, and gender rights. The statistical analysis indicates that 35.1% (95% CI 30.1–37.1) of Liberian women report experiencing ESA that qualifies as statutory rape under Liberian law. Age, ethnicity, location, SES, education, and most individual KABs are not correlated with lower rates (p < 0.05). The following are associated (unadjusted odds ratio [OR]): advanced education (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.26–5.50); saying no to sex (0.57, 0.36–0.89); equitable work opportunities (2.15, 1.28–3.62); living with a man as a minor (0.47, 0.31–0.74); and early pregnancy (0.45, 0.32–0.65). Additionally, 39.7% (95% CI 31.2–44.1) of male assailants hold school-based occupations. As the ecology of girls is increasingly shifting in low-income nations, it is crucial to better understand the face of abuse to protect children’s welfare.

May 7th 2024, 04:17

Abstract
In response to the demand for adopting a social justice system to manage students’ challenging behaviors, many countries are implementing positive behavior support (PBS) programs at the school level. However, the use of PBS in Saudi Arabian schools is still a goal rather than reality. It is strongly evident that school-wide PBS can be applicable to different educational contexts. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a virtual school-wide positive behavior support program for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Saudi Arabia. Teaching and reinforcement procedures were implemented to help the students replace interfering classroom behaviors with alternative, appropriate behaviors. Observations were conducted to collect data on the students’ classroom behaviors. The results of the study showed that there was an immediate and major improvement in the students’ behaviors upon the introduction of the program. The results support the conclusion that school-wide positive behavior support can be successfully applied to different educational settings and suggest several implications for special and general education schools.
