Purpose: This study investigated symptoms of anxiety and depression, feelings of loneliness, and life satisfaction among low-to-middle income Peruvian adolescents during 2 years of remote schooling due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Methods: We used a four-wave longitudinal observational approach. Data were collected in April 2020, October 2020, June 2021, and November 2021 in Perú.
The main objective of this rapid systematic review was to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted peer relationships for adolescents (10-25 years of age) around the globe. We focused on four indices of peer relationships: (1) loneliness, (2) social connectedness, (3) social support, and (4) social media use. In addition, we examined gender and age differences.

Methods: We piloted a translation and cultural adaptation of a DC curriculum originally designed for the U.S.
Emotion-related impulsivity, the trait-like tendency toward regrettable behavior during states of high emotion, is a robust predictor of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Despite substantial evidence that emotion-related impulsivity is important transdiagnostically, relatively little is known about its cognitive correlates. This systematic review and meta-regression investigates one such candidate, risky decision-making.

- Impulsivity is a tendency to make hasty decisions without careful thought, which affects decision-making, particularly in reward-based contexts.
- Research aimed to understand how impulsivity impacts performance in a reward-driven learning task but did not find expected results; instead, it showed nuanced effects on switching behavior after losses.
- The study suggests that impulsivity's impact on learning may involve more intricate strategies than current computational models can explain, highlighting a need for further investigation in this area.
