Sep 7th 2024, 14:52

Following high-profile cuts that rpk advised on at West Virginia University, the firm has emerged as a particularly prominent player in the field. It has been hired by dozens of colleges, and its name has come to stir anxiety in the hearts of faculty members. Professors critical of this process see consultants as convenient shields for administrators, who use these firms to bolster their arguments for making unpopular cuts. Others view them as hatchet men, selling a flawed process that twists data to fit preconceived suggestions on which programs — typically in the humanities and, in particular, languages — need to be chopped.

Sep 7th 2024, 14:27

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. How does climate change threat affect attitudes towards ethnic and religious minorities and climate change refugees? We show that threatening climate change can have deep psychological effects even among social majority groups in relatively prosperous and peaceful societies. Using three survey experiments with self-identified White British participants (N = 616, N = 587, and N = 535), we demonstrate that social majority members who are exposed to threatening information about climate change (vs. neutral information) and, at the same time, feel little national efficacy over climate change, evaluate more negatively certain ethnic and religious minorities, especially Muslims and Pakistanis. We found the same trend in the evaluation of climate refugees, although it reached statistical significance only in one of the experiments. We explain these reactions as pertaining to groups that are perceived as threatening the salient ingroup and its collective agency. Our research significantly contributes to the literature on the social and political implications of (climate change) threat, especially by focusing on boundary conditions, namely the perception of collective control in case of complex and large threats.

Sep 7th 2024, 14:14

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. This article provides a comprehensive review of how the field of family therapy has evolved, tracing its roots from early practices influenced by eugenics to its current diverse theoretical frameworks, which are ever-expanding. In the mid-20th century, family therapy expanded beyond its eugenic roots, embracing diverse theoretical frameworks and giving rise to various therapeutic modalities like behavioral and emotionally focused family and couples therapy. However, due to cultural disparities, these concepts and models cannot holistically capture the essence of family therapy in India. They do not compute the central role of the intergenerational subsystem or understand hierarchical dynamics. What is deemed “okay” in the Western context does not hold true in the Indian context. Postmodern approaches show a marked improvement in dealing with these problems in cultural adaptations of family and couples therapy by integrating diverse therapeutic practices, technological advances, and cultural and diversity-sensitive practices. However, despite these advancements, the adapted modalities have a scope for improvement, posing a pressing need for research that bridges this gap. Moving forward research should focus on family change mechanisms, symptom improvement factors, and prioritizing culturally sensitive approaches to meet the unique needs of Indian families.

Sep 7th 2024, 14:11

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. Over a quarter of adults in the United States live with a disability. Historically, disability was contextualized from the lens of a medical model, which identifies disability solely as impairment for the individual and should be treated or eradicated. Individuals with disabilities have been seen as abnormal and a threat to the family system. Critical Disability Theory challenges this thought by suggesting that disability is a social construct in which one’s environment prioritizes able bodies. Although numerous accommodations have been mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act, the environment of an individual living with disabilities frequently fails to meet their needs, including the family therapy office. Universal Design (UD) is a design strategy that increases access for individuals of all abilities, mental states, and learning types. Utilizing UD principles in family therapy settings can increase client engagement, representation, and learning in a in a safe, accessible environment.

Sep 7th 2024, 14:08

Abstract
A number of measures and scales have been developed for the ICD-11 personality disorder (PD) diagnosis, including severity and trait dimensions. The present systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate the internal consistency of these measures across different populations and cultures. A systematic search was conducted across four databases where relevant studies were subjected to explicit eligibility criteria resulting in 49 included studies and 370 effect sizes. Study characteristics were tabulated, their methodological quality was evaluated, and findings were synthesized using random effects meta-analysis. Findings overall indicated that measures of ICD-11 PD severity and trait domains have adequate levels of internal consistency (α/ω = 0.82, 95% CI [0.81; 0.83], I
2 = 97.3%). Aspects such as sample, country, language, format, and measured construct were significant sources of variation. Additional meta-analyses revealed that some measures performed better than others for certain dimensions. Internal consistency was overall supported across ICD-11 measures of severity and trait domains. Future research should further investigate the interrater reliability, test–retest reliability and stability, and alignment with interview-based PD diagnoses.

Sep 7th 2024, 13:13

Evaluation &the Health Professions, Ahead of Print. We examined the psychometric properties of the Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Technology (PANT) survey, developed by researchers to track weight management behaviors among youth. Data from 2,039 middle school students (M age = 12.4, SD = .5; 51.4% girls) were analyzed to explore and then confirm the factor structure of the PANT survey. We also examined the bivariate associations between the PANT survey, body mass index (BMI), and the Progressive Aerobic Cardiorespiratory Endurance Run (PACER). Results suggest that the PANT survey is comprised of two factors—Physical Activity and Healthy Choices—each with adequate internal consistency (α = .79 and 0.86, respectively). The Physical Activity subscale appears to be significantly associated with both z-BMI (r = −0.10, p < .001) and the PACER (r = 0.33, p < .001) in the anticipated directions, but the criterion validity of the Healthy Choices subscale is less clear. We discuss these findings and explore future directions for developing meaningful self-report wellness behavior scales for youth.

Sep 7th 2024, 13:13

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. This study explored the lived experiences of and meaning made from postpartum mothers and their journey with their body image following childbirth. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis design, seven women were interviewed to understand their lived experiences. The Developmental Theory of Embodiment was used to help make sense of the postpartum mothers’ experience and meaning-making processes. Themes included: (a) transformation of maternal body image, (b) sociocultural pressures of bouncing back, and (c) holding the duality of postpartum body dissatisfaction and body appreciation. Implications are provided for counselors. Recommendations include thoroughly assessing for and treating body image and related mental health needs for postpartum mothers.

Sep 7th 2024, 12:15

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. This qualitative research explored marital satisfaction and work-home balance using Solution Focused Narrative Therapy (SFNT) with Christian couples. Phenomenological analysis was used to look at the experiences of six married Christian couples. The results demonstrated that many Christian couples would be noticing a healthy work-home balance. The main umbrella theme that came up was spousal roles and there were seven sub themes/categories. The other umbrella theme was work-home balance with six sub themes. The findings contributed to filling a gap in the literature related to work-home balance in Christian couples.

Sep 7th 2024, 12:02

Abstract

Background
Worldwide, peers support has been shown to play a crucial role in supporting people with mental illness in their personal recovery process and return to everyday life. Qualitiative studies underpinning the mechanisms of change in peer support has been reviewed. However, the findings are primeraly based on the perspectives of peer support workers employed in mental health services. Thus, qualitiative studies elucidating the mechanisms of change from the recipient perspective in mental health service independent civil society settings are higly needed to further contribute to the evidence of peer support. The ‘Paths to every day life’ (PEER) is evaluated in a randomized trial and is substantiated by qualitative studies investigating the experiences of PEER from the perspectives of the recipients and the facilitators of peer support. The purpose of this qualitative study underpinned by critical realism was to substantiate the PEER intervention program theory by gaining deeper insight into the change mechanisms and elaborate how, when, and under what circumstances the peer support groups potentially had or did not have an impact on personal recovery from the perspectives of the recipients of peer support.

Methods
Eleven individuals were interviewed at the end of the ten-week group course. The semi-structured realist-inspired interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The analysis was guided by reflective thematic analysis and through an abductive framework based on the program theory. Data were coded and analysed in Nvivo software.

Results
Four overarching themes were identified that informed and nuanced the program theory: 1) Connectedness as a prerequisite for engagement; 2) A sense of hope by working out new paths to recovery; 3) Seeing new sides of oneself; and 4) Sprout for change.

Conclusions
This study substantiates the program theory and the quantitative results of the PEER trial by elaborating on mechanisms that were felt to be essential for the personal recovery process from the perspectives of the recipients of the group-based peer support. In addition, the study points out that the opportunities to act in everyday life depended on individual context and where the group participants were on their recovery journey.

Sep 7th 2024, 11:39

Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol 41(3), Jul 2024, 137-146; doi:10.1037/pap0000501
The COVID-19 pandemic led psychotherapists to use remote psychotherapy. Considering different psychotherapy orientations, scientific literature has provided interesting results about this transition and its implications. Less is known about whether and how the online format affects manualized psychotherapeutic approaches. The present study explored potential changes in how therapists deliver transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) due to the online transition to remote psychotherapy during the COVID-19 outbreak. Four hundred seventy-nine licensed psychotherapists, of which 296 were TFP therapists, completed an online survey during the peak of the pandemic in the world. In general, no significant differences emerged between TFP and non-TFP psychotherapists in (1) psychotherapists’ previous experience with remote psychotherapy, (2) rate of interrupted treatments, (3) subjective experience, and (4) difficulties with more severe patients. TFP psychotherapists found it harder to adhere to the TFP techniques when working with more severe patients. Within the limitations of this survey study, implications for clinical practice are described. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Sep 7th 2024, 11:11

Evaluation &the Health Professions, Ahead of Print. The Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS) and the Fear of Daily Activities Questionnaire (FDAQ) assess fear-avoidance model components. However, the questionnaires are not available in Brazilian Portuguese. This study aimed to translate the original English FACS and FDAQ into Brazilian (Br) Portuguese and assess their measurement properties in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). One hundred thirty volunteers with CLBP participated in this study. Structural validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and hypothesis testing for construct validity were analyzed. Results indicated a 2-factor solution for the FACS-Br, while the FDAQ-Br had a one-factor solution. Internal consistency showed acceptable Cronbach’s alpha (alpha >.8). Suitable reliability was found for the FDAQ-Br (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient [ICC] = .98). For both FACS-Br factors, suitable reliability was found as well (ICC = .95 and .94). Hypothesis testing for construct validity confirmed more than 75% of the hypotheses proposed a priori for the FACS maladaptive pain/movement-related beliefs domain and the FDAQ-Br. In conclusion, the FACS-Br and FDAQ-Br demonstrated acceptable reliability, internal consistency, and structural validity measurement properties and their correlation (r < .50) suggests that the tools are not interchangeable measures.

Sep 7th 2024, 10:16

The Journal of Early Adolescence, Ahead of Print. Friends in early adolescence play a significant role in students’ lives, potentially influencing their academic performance. A multi-group stochastic actor-oriented model was employed to examine the effects of social selection and peer influence through friendship ties on Czech language grades and reading literacy among lower-secondary students, controlling for students’ SES, gender, and network structure. The sample comprised 276 sixth-grade students across twelve classrooms, measured at two time points with an interval of seven months. No evidence of selection or influence in terms of grades and literacy was found. However, effects of gender and SES assortativity were observed. The findings are discussed in relation to potential publication bias in the existing literature, and implications for future research are outlined.

The proposal to restructure the USDA builds on a previous Trump-era proposal to consolidate federal safety net programs. This included moving SNAP and WIC–which it rebranded as welfare programs, a term often used pejoratively–from the USDA to HSS. It’s a move that experts pointed out would likely make these programs easier to cut, including by designating them as welfare benefits, often deemed unnecessary by conservatives.

Sep 7th 2024, 10:10

Abstract
Background and Hypothesis
Despite the clinical relevance of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, our understanding of negative symptoms remains limited. Although various courses and stages of schizophrenia have been identified, variations in the negative symptom networks between distinct stages of schizophrenia remain unexplored.
Study Design
We examined 405 patients with early schizophrenia (ES) and 330 patients with chronic schizophrenia (CS) using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms. Network analysis and exploratory graph analysis were used to identify and compare the network structures and community memberships of negative symptoms between the two groups. Further, associations between communities and social functioning were evaluated. The potential influences of other symptom domains and confounding factors were also examined.
Study Results
Multidimensional differences were found in the networks of negative symptoms between ES and CS. The global connectivity strength was higher in the network of ES than in the network of CS. In ES, central symptoms were mainly related to expressive deficits, whereas in CS they were distributed across negative symptom domains. A three-community structure was suggested across stages but with different memberships and associations with social functioning. Potential confounding factors and symptom domains, including mood, positive, disorganization, and excitement symptoms, did not affect the network structures.
Conclusion
Our findings revealed the presence of stage-specific network structures of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, with negative symptom communities having differential significance for social functioning. These findings provide implications for the future development of tailored interventions to alleviate negative symptoms and improve functionality across stages.

Sep 7th 2024, 09:19

Evaluation Review, Ahead of Print. Maternal, neonatal, and child health play crucial roles in achieving the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030, particularly in promoting health and wellbeing. However, maternal, neonatal, and child services in Moroccan public hospitals face challenges, particularly concerning mortality rates and inefficient resource allocation, which hinder optimal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the operational effectiveness of 76 neonatal and child health services networks (MNCSN) within Moroccan public hospitals. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we assessed technical efficiency (TE) employing both Variable Returns to Scale for inputs (VRS-I) and outputs (VRS-O) orientation. Additionally, the Tobit method (TM) was utilized to explore factors influencing inefficiency, with hospital, doctor, and paramedical staff considered as inputs, and admissions, cesarean interventions, functional capacity, and hospitalization days as outputs. Our findings revealed that VRS-I exhibited a higher average TE score of 0.76 compared to VRS-O (0.23). Notably, the Casablanca-Anfa MNCSN received the highest referrals (30) under VRS-I, followed by the Khemisset MNCSN (24). In contrast, under VRS-O, Ben Msick, Rabat, and Mediouna MNCSN each had three peers, with 71, 22, and 17 references, respectively. Moreover, the average Malmquist Index under VRS-I indicated a 7.7% increase in productivity over the 9-year study period, while under VRS-O, the average Malmquist Index decreased by 8.7%. Furthermore, doctors and functional bed capacity received the highest Tobit model score of 0.01, followed by hospitalization days and cesarean sections. This study underscores the imperative for policymakers to strategically prioritize input factors to enhance efficiency and ensure optimal maternal, neonatal, and child healthcare outcomes.

Sep 7th 2024, 09:07

Abstract
Enrolment of postsecondary students with disabilities continues to increase, yet completion rates of postsecondary students with disabilities are much lower than those of their non-disabled peers. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the perceptions of postsecondary students with disabilities, solely within the USA, regarding factors they believe are influential in completing their postsecondary programme. Specifically, the study will focus on student-related factors as identified within the literature. A total of 19 studies were identified after meeting the inclusionary criteria for review. The results of the review identified the student’s kindergarten (K) to grade 12 (K-12) transition services, the student’s knowledge of their disability and related postsecondary disability services, the student’s ability to self-advocate, the student’s self-determination and the student’s support system as student-related factors that influence their ability to successfully complete a postsecondary programme. According to the literature, these student-related factors are heavily impacted by the social interactions of their past and present instructors, peers, support systems, legislators and chosen postsecondary institution. Therefore, Critical Disability Theory was chosen as the lens for analysis to examine how students with disabilities, a marginalised group, continue to face obstacles within postsecondary environments. Postsecondary students with disabilities are more apt to be successful in completing their programme if the identified student factors are present. It is important for K-12 support systems, family support systems and postsecondary institution support systems to recognise that the identified factors are important for successful programme completion by students with disabilities. Implications for future research, policy and practice are discussed.
