Objective: This randomized controlled trial feasibility study aimed to investigate a single-session mindset intervention, incorporating third-wave constructs, within educational settings as a universal tool to promote emotional wellbeing.
Method: Eighty adolescents (age M = 16.63) were randomized to the 30-min computer intervention or a usual curriculum waitlist. Outcome measures were administered at baseline, posttreatment, 4-week, and 8-week follow-ups.
Results: Student feedback about the intervention and trial procedure was mainly positive. Participants engaged with the intervention content and data were suggestive of possible small-large intervention effects for targeted mechanisms of personality mindset and psychological flexibility. Between-group differences over time across wellbeing outcomes of self-compassion, self-esteem, low mood, and anxiety also yielded some promising results, though assessments of reliable change were less clear. No harm was reported.
Conclusions: The intervention and study design were deemed feasible, though areas for improvement were noted. A full-scale trial to determine effectiveness is warranted.

Background: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) reduce relapses in schizophrenia; however, most clinicians reserve LAIs for nonadherence with oral antipsychotics (OAs) or severe disease.
Methods: US psychiatric clinicians were surveyed regarding their schizophrenia management practices and use of LAIs. Respondents were grouped by LAI use (high [≥ 31% of patients using LAIs], low [≤ 14% using LAIs]; mid not analyzed) and mindset based on their response to "Which of the following best fits the current way you view your use of [LAIs] for your patients with schizophrenia?"
Results: Respondents (n = 380) were distributed across LAI use (106 high, 130 low) and mindset (123 early-use, 88 severity-reserved, 113 adherence-reserved, 56 LAI-hesitant) subgroups.

Resource scarcity has been demonstrated to potentially induce a scarcity mindset in individuals, leading to a reduction in cognitive control. However, the specific facets of cognitive control affected by a scarcity mindset and the underlying mechanisms driving this effect remain not fully understood. Based on the dual mechanisms of control framework, this study examines the effects of a scarcity mindset on both proactive and reactive control (Experiment 1) and explores the underlying mechanisms (Experiment 2).
