Objectives: Gender diverse youth face higher risk of engaging in self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) compared to cisgender youth. Limitations in past research include a focus on older adolescents, an emphasis on specific gender identity labels that may not be inclusive of the range of youth gender experiences, and reliance on cross-sectional data. Thus, the current study prospectively evaluated dimensions of experienced gender in relation to first-onset SITBs among preadolescents.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists want to understand how the placebo effect works in people with major depressive disorder (MDD) because it's getting stronger in clinical trials, making it harder to find out if new treatments really work.
  • They believe that studying how dopamine (a chemical in the brain related to rewards and pleasure) affects the placebo response could help find out who benefits from treatments and improve mental health care.
  • The researchers set up a special clinical trial to explore this idea, using different methods to look at how the brain's reward system might influence the placebo effect in people with depression.

The Probabilistic Reward Task (PRT) is widely used to investigate the impact of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) on reinforcement learning (RL), and recent studies have used it to provide insight into decision-making mechanisms affected by MDD. The current project used PRT data from unmedicated, treatment-seeking adults with MDD to extend these efforts by: (1) providing a more detailed analysis of standard PRT metrics-response bias and discriminability-to better understand how the task is performed; (2) analyzing the data with two computational models and providing psychometric analyses of both; and (3) determining whether response bias, discriminability, or model parameters predicted responses to treatment with placebo or the atypical antidepressant bupropion. Analysis of standard metrics replicated recent work by demonstrating a dependency between response bias and response time (RT), and by showing that reward totals in the PRT are governed by discriminability.

The current study examines the relationships between change in depressive symptoms and locus of control orientations among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 341 undergraduate students were recruited from a large Midwestern United States university. Participants completed an online cross-sectional survey with self-report measures of current depressive symptoms, retrospective pre-pandemic depressive symptoms, and locus of control.

Objective: Children with some chronic health conditions experience family functioning difficulties. However, research examining family functioning in youth with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) has produced mixed results. Therefore, the current review critically synthesized the literature on family functioning among youth with FGIDs.
