This research investigated the reciprocal relationship between mental models of conflict and various forms of dysfunctional social relations in organizations, including experiences of task and relationship conflicts, interpersonal hostility, workplace ostracism, and abusive supervision. We conceptualize individual differences in conflict construals as reflecting variation in people's belief structures about conflict and explore how different elements in people's associative networks-in particular, their beliefs about their best and worst strategy in conflict-relate to their personality, shape their experiences of workplace conflict, and influence others' behavioral intentions toward them. Five studies using a variety of methods (including cross-sectional surveys, a 12-week longitudinal diary study, and an experiment) show that the best strategy beliefs relate in theoretically meaningful ways to individuals' personality, shape social interactions and relationships significantly more than the worst strategy beliefs, and are updated over time as a result of individuals' ongoing experiences of conflict.

Predicting Sarcopenia and Frailty Risk in Patients Post Heart Transplantation.

Clin Transplant

January 2025

Rehabilitation Research Center (REVAL), Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Hasselt University, Diepenbeek, Belgium.

Introduction: Currently, there is little evidence on the prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia risk or frailty risk in patients post heart transplantation (HTx). The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of sociodemographic, lifestyle, physical, and psychological factors on sarcopenia and frailty risk in patients post-HTx.

Methods: 133 patients post-HTx (59.

Microstructural mapping of neural pathways in Alzheimer's disease using macrostructure-informed normative tractometry.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Imaging Genetics Center, Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Marina del Rey, California, USA.

Introduction: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is sensitive to the microstructural properties of brain tissues and shows great promise in detecting the effects of degenerative diseases. However, many approaches analyze single measures averaged over regions of interest without considering the underlying fiber geometry.

Methods: We propose a novel macrostructure-informed normative tractometry (MINT) framework to investigate how white matter (WM) microstructure and macrostructure are jointly altered in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

Facial emotion recognition (FER) can serve as a valuable tool for assessing emotional states, which are often linked to mental health. However, mental health encompasses a broad range of factors that go beyond facial expressions. While FER provides insights into certain aspects of emotional well-being, it can be used in conjunction with other assessments to form a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's mental health.

Sex differences in the relationships between 24-h rest-activity patterns and plasma markers of Alzheimer's disease pathology.

Alzheimers Res Ther

December 2024

Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Mental Health and Neuroscience Research Institute, Alzheimer Centre Limburg, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Background: Although separate lines of research indicated a moderating role of sex in both sleep-wake disruption and in the interindividual vulnerability to Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related processes, the quantification of sex differences in the interplay between sleep-wake dysregulation and AD pathology remains critically overlooked. Here, we examined sex-specific associations between circadian rest-activity patterns and AD-related pathophysiological processes across the adult lifespan.

Methods: Ninety-two cognitively unimpaired adults (mean age = 59.

Associations Between Non-Verbal Cognitive Assessment and Stroke Recovery via Screening Test for Aphasia and Dysarthria.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis

December 2024

Research Center for Child Mental Development, Chiba University, Chiba 260-8670, Japan. Electronic address:

Objective: Non-verbal Screening Test for Aphasia and Dysarthria scores correlate with post-stroke cognitive function; however, their correlations with activities of daily living dependency and home discharge (cognitive function-associated outcomes) remain unclear. We investigated the correlation of these scores with activities of daily living dependency and home discharge outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Disability levels and functional outcomes of 278 inpatients with brain injury (age: 72.
