When one or both parents misuse alcohol, it can lead to the development of particular and varied traits in their children. The present study tested whether adult children of alcoholics (ACoAs) who participated in therapy had better veracity assessment skills and more reliable beliefs about cues to deception than the control group of non-ACoAs. The results revealed that individuals who grew up in a family with alcohol misuse problems detected truth - but not lies - significantly better than the control group. The groups did not differ in accuracy of their beliefs about cues to deception. It is possible that the ACoAs' higher truth detection accuracy is to some extent attributable to their participation in therapy, which increased their level of trust in others.

Objective: Acute experimental models of antidepressant placebo effects suggest that expectancies, encoded within the salience network (SN), are reinforced by sensory evidence and mood fluctuations. However, whether these dynamics extend to longer timescales remains unknown. To answer this question, we investigated how SN and default mode network (DMN) functional connectivity during the processing of antidepressant expectancies facilitates the shift from salience attribution to contextual cues in the SN to belief-induced mood responses in the DMN, both acutely and long-term.

Objective: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) cancer patients face higher long-term and late-stage risks, so advance care planning (ACP) is an important way for them to participate autonomously in healthcare decision-making. However, in Chinese culture, discussing ACP with AYAs is challengeable due to their role as their family's hope, contributing to insufficient attention to this group in cancer care. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of AYA patients, their families, and healthcare providers about ACP based on the health belief model.
