Background/objective: Relationships among anxiety, self-efficacy, family health, and obesity-related eating behavior (OREB) have not been comprehensively investigated as a holistic system. This study aimed to explore the profiles of anxiety, self-efficacy, and family health in the adult population, and to test their differences in OREB. Furthermore, this study simultaneously examined the moderating effects of self-efficacy and family health on association between anxiety and OREB.

Aims: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), especially for persistent PLEs, are highly predictive of subsequent mental health problems. Hence, it is crucial to explore the psychopathological associations underlying the occurrence and persistence of PLEs. This study aimed to explore the above issues through a longitudinal dynamic network approach among PLEs and psychological and psychosocial factors.

Purpose: Although experimental psychopathology using PET, EEG, and fMRI is at the forefront of understanding the underlying mechanisms of sleep inertia, many questions concerning causality remain unanswerable due to ethical constraints and the use of small and heterogeneous samples in experimental methods. There is a pressing need for a novel perspective in a large and relatively homogeneous population to fully capture and elucidate longitudinal processes and dynamic causality that culminate in episodes of sleep inertia over time. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the causal relationships between symptoms of sleep inertia across its distinct patterns.

Transition metal thiophosphates (MTPs) are a group of emerging van der Waals materials with widely tunable band gaps. In the MTP family, CdPSe is demonstrated to possess a wide energy band gap and high carrier mobility, making it a potential candidate in optoelectronic applications. Here, we reported photoelectric response behaviors of both CdPSe- and CdPSe/MoS-based photodetectors (noted as CPS and CM, respectively); these showed prominent photoelectric performances, and the latter proved to be significantly superior to the former.

Background: Existing literature on the relationship between problematic smartphone use (PSU) and aggression has primarily focused on examining their unidirectional association, with limited attention paid to the bidirectional nature of this relationship, particularly when considering the role of empathy. This study employs a novel moderated network approach to examine the bidirectional relationship between problematic smartphone use and aggression, while also investigating the moderating mechanism of empathy.

Methods: A total of 2,469 students (49.

Article Synopsis
  • Depression and anxiety are common mental health issues among adolescents, but their progression and symptoms are not fully understood, prompting the use of network analysis in this study.
  • Analysis of data from 20,544 adolescents revealed that uncontrollable worry is a key symptom for all age groups, while different symptoms like concentration issues and anhedonia are significant for specific age ranges.
  • The findings suggest that specific symptoms can act as bridges between anxiety and depression at different adolescent stages, indicating that targeted treatment based on these symptoms may be essential for effective intervention.
