The Interplay of Message Framing and Consideration of Future Consequences on Energy Drink Consumption: Focusing on the Underlying Emotional Mechanism.

Researchers have examined the relative persuasiveness of gain- versus loss-framing in various health contexts, but factors that moderate the effects as well as the processes through which such interplay produces impacts remain unclear. This study addresses how message-framing effects are moderated by individual differences in considering future consequences and how such interaction effects influence persuasion through two discrete emotions - anticipated regret and anticipated anxiety. Results suggest that gain-framing was more persuasive for those who value future consequences, and such interaction exerted its effect through anticipated regret.

Concomitant Psychiatric Symptoms in Neurological Outpatients.

To estimate the prevalence of concomitant psychiatric disorders in neurological outpatients and to assess the value of simple screening questionnaires in the identification of psychiatric symptoms, we analyzed a total of 803 patients who visited neurology clinics with neurological symptoms over a six-month period. Using self-reported questionnaires, we assessed psychiatric symptoms, such as stress (Perceived Stress Scale, PSS), depression (Patient Health Question 9, PHQ9), and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7, GAD7). According to the disease subtypes, we analyzed the psychiatric scales based on gender and age group.

Which Patients Are Prescribed Escitalopram?: Predictors for Escitalopram Prescriptions and Functional Outcomes among Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.
