Neuroticism and cognitive correlates of depression and anxiety in endometriosis: A meta-analytic review, evidence appraisal, and future recommendations.

Objective: This meta-analytic review aimed to synthesise evidence on personality and cognitive factors related to depression and anxiety in endometriosis and determine whether sociodemographic and clinical variables moderate factor-symptom relations. Additionally, this review aimed to evaluate the quality of research and formulate recommendations for future research.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted across databases (Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Web of Science, ProQuest) through to February 2024.

An evaluation of the behavioural inhibition system and behavioural activation system (BIS-BAS) model of pain in athletes.

This study examined coping and pain responses using a behavioural inhibition (BIS) - behavioural activation (BAS) framework in 489 student athletes (M(age) = 20, SD = 4; 69% female). Two samples of athletes (226 pain-free athletes and 232 athletes with current pain) completed surveys assessing BIS- and BAS-related cognitions, emotions, and behaviours. Distinct groupings of BAS-related variables were identified in both samples, evidenced by significant positive correlations within BAS-related variables (positive affect, pain openness, approach thoughts and behaviours).
