Mar 25th 2025, 09:51

Abstract
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) adolescents experience oppressive mental health stressors and barriers to receiving treatment. Ethnic identity development, attachment to parents, and family prosocial opportunities have been associated with improved mental health outcomes in BIPOC adolescents, yet there is a dearth of literature examining the intersections of these variables on anxiety and depressive outcomes for this population. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between ethnic identity development, attachment to parents, family prosocial opportunities, and anxiety and depressive symptoms in a sample of BIPOC adolescents (N = 1424) in the Northeastern United States. Attachment to father (B =  − 0.14, p < 0.01), family prosocial opportunities (B =  − 0.51, p < 0.001), and ethnic identity development (B =  − 0.20, p < 0.001) emerged as significant protective factors of anxiety. Similarly, attachment to father (B =  − 0.14, p < 0.01), attachment to mother (B =  − 0.19, p < 0.05), family prosocial opportunities (B =  − 0.55, p < 0.001), and ethnic identity development (B =  − 0.14, p < 0.01) were significantly associated with decreased depressive symptoms. These findings suggest implications related to culturally responsive mental health prevention and intervention efforts for practitioners who serve BIPOC adolescents.

Mar 25th 2025, 09:47

hen ministers announced an overhaul to welfare payments last week that will result in an estimated 1.2 million disabled people losing eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip), they did not mention the sweeping knock-on effects. Because Pip is a “gateway”, any disabled person who loses the benefit will not only lose that income but other entitlements too, such as free prescriptions and council tax deductions. Most starkly, removing someone’s Pip will mean their unpaid carer losing carer’s allowance – in effect pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once.

The growing ideological alignment between far-right movements in Europe, the United States, and Russia threatens to entrench an exclusionary, hierarchical order reminiscent of Europe’s colonial past. To resist this tide, Europe must reject austerity-driven militarisation and instead embrace a fair economic model: funding security through progressive taxation on extreme wealth and dismantling the oligarchic remnants within its constitutional order.

Mar 25th 2025, 02:33

International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, Ahead of Print. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) individuals are overrepresented in prison and face increased criminal justice attention on sexual offending. Furthermore, LGBTQIA+ individuals experience challenges reintegrating into communities following prison. Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA)—a measure to support the community reintegration of people with sexual offence convictions—might therefore be mobilized to assist LGBTQIA+ individuals. Indeed, some research has found an overrepresentation of LGBTQIA+ “core members” (the non-stigmatising term used within CoSA) engaged in CoSA. However, little has been documented about the experiences of this cohort. It is critical to document their experiences given concerns about CoSA’s heteronormativity. This research addresses this gap through a survey and semi-structured interviews with CoSA staff and volunteers, and LGBTQIA+ core members. Findings highlight the unique challenges that LGBTQIA+ core members can present for CoSA, including heightened stigmatization, and the importance of CoSA providing non-judgmental support to LGBTQIA+ core members. LGBTQIA+ core members indicated that they would welcome assistance from CoSA to access prosocial LGBTQIA+ networks in the community. Their views thus reflect one of the key founding principles of CoSA—that “no one is disposable.” Based on this, recommendations are made for CoSA policy and practice.

Mar 25th 2025, 01:16

ABSTRACT
Previous studies have shown that anticipation induces stronger emotions than retrospection, a phenomenon known as temporal emotion asymmetry. However, prior research has been limited to Western contexts. Since Eastern populations often emphasise the past more than their Western counterparts, temporal emotion asymmetry may manifest differently. Therefore, we examined the temporal asymmetry of admiration and malicious envy among Chinese adolescents. We conducted five experiments: Actual events from a self-perspective (Experiment 1; N = 76), hypothetical events from a self-perspective (Experiment 2; N = 74), time travel from a self-perspective (Experiment 3; N = 96), forced-choice from a self-perspective (Experiment 4; N = 94) and forced-choice from an other-perspective (Experiment 5; N = 164). The results showed that admiration exhibited a past bias, with retrospection eliciting stronger admiration than anticipation. In contrast, malicious envy exhibited different patterns of temporal asymmetry. When the threat of future negative events was high, malicious envy exhibited a future bias; however, as this threat weakened, it shifted toward a past bias. These findings provide insights into the boundary effects of temporal emotion asymmetry. We recommend that, when fostering admiration in Chinese adolescents, greater emphasis should be placed on guiding them to recall others’ accomplishments.

Mar 25th 2025, 00:37

Abstract
Item response theory models are commonly adopted in educational assessment and psychological measurement. Such models need to be modified to accommodate practical situations when statistical sampling assumptions are violated. Omission is a common phenomenon in educational testing. In modern computer-based testing, we have not only examinees’ responses but also their response times. This paper utilizes response time and develops a joint model of responses and response times. The new approach is analogous to those developed in survival analysis for dealing with right-censored data. In particular, a key ingredient is the introduction of the omission time (OT), which corresponds to the censoring time in survival analysis. By competing risk formulation, the proposed method provides an alternative narrative to how an item becomes answered versus omitted, depending on the competing relationship of response time and OT, so that the likelihood function can be constructed properly. The maximum likelihood estimator can be computed via the expectation-maximization algorithm. Simulation studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and its robustness against various mis-specifications. The method was applied to a dataset from the PISA 2015 Science Test.

The study, which involved 28 researchers from 18 institutions across Europe and the United States, highlights the placenta as a key element in neuropsychiatric development. The research has demonstrated that specific epigenetic modifications in the placenta, particularly DNA methylation, can influence the expression of genes associated with psychiatric disorders. These findings suggest that genetic risk may already manifest during the prenatal stage.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2025/journal-article-abstracts/adb0000991/) The role of perceived parent drinking motives on alcohol use among adolescents with and without childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Mar 24th 2025, 22:22

Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 39(1), Feb 2025, 38-51; doi:10.1037/adb0000991
Objective: Parent history of alcohol-related problems and antisocial behaviors contribute to adolescent alcohol use and are associated with offspring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Youth with ADHD may be susceptible to intergenerational transmission of alcohol-related cognitions, which may model drinking motives that enhance risk for adolescent alcohol use. We examined whether childhood ADHD and parent history of alcohol use disorder, with or without antisociality, were associated with adolescents’ perceptions of their parents’ drinking motives and whether these perceptions predicted their alcohol use behaviors. Method: Adolescents (N = 199; 56% with ADHD; Mage = 15.73) completed the Drinking Motives Questionnaire regarding perceptions of their parents’ drinking motives. Participants subsequently reported their past-year alcohol use behaviors (Mage = 16.95). Parents reported their history of alcohol-related problems and antisocial symptoms. Covariates included adolescent gender (7% girls), race (9% self-identified Black), and parental education and marital status. Results: Perceived parent drinking motives were highest for social and lowest for conformity motives, consistent with adult self-reports in the literature. Parent alcohol use and antisociality history predicted perceptions of parent drinking motives, and child ADHD only predicted perceptions of parent social drinking motives. Perceived parent drinking motives predicted adolescent alcohol use, but only among youth without ADHD. Conclusion: Findings reflect the potential importance of assessing adolescent perceptions of parent drinking motives for adolescents without ADHD and a possible need for supporting parents in communicating about their own alcohol use. Future research should consider alternative strategies (e.g., assessing implicit cognitions) for studying the link between alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors for adolescents with ADHD.

Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 39(1), Feb 2025, 27-37; doi:10.1037/adb0001050
Objective: Dissemination of methods for developing psychometric instruments is essential for the production of high-quality research. This article describes a multistep process used to conduct the qualitative phase in the development of a battery of measures related to bystander behavior for hazardous alcohol use among young adults. Method: Qualitative methods were used to inform the content and wording of developed items to be relevant to young adults’ lived experiences. First, focus groups (eight groups; N = 60) used multiple approaches to revise items on available bystander measures from the interpersonal violence prevention literature and to create new items relevant for hazardous drinking situations. Thematic analysis of focus group transcripts yielded several themes within identified categories of signs (i.e., exposure to hazardous drinking), strategies, barriers, facilitators, positive consequences, and negative consequences. Following item development and revision by a team of content experts, cognitive interviews (N = 20) ensured clarity of instructions, items, and response options. Results: This qualitative work yielded item sets that are ready to move on to administration for quantitative psychometric validation. We used a rigorous qualitative approach to ensure constructs, items, and eventual measures accurately reflect the experience of witnesses to hazardous drinking among others. Conclusions: Generated item sets will facilitate research applying bystander intervention to alcohol-related harm. Qualitative methods described herein should be useful for researchers applying existing frameworks to new areas and themes identified from this work will facilitate research focused on bystander intervention to prevent alcohol-related harms.
