Objective: This research examines the relationship between passion for a romantic partner and obsessive relational intrusion (ORI) which is defined as repeated and unwanted behaviors toward a partner that invade his/her personal privacy and cause fear for his/her safety.
Method: Based on the dualistic model of passion, we predicted that obsessive passion (OP) would be associated with fear of abandonment, which in turn would be associated with ORI. In contrast, harmonious passion (HP) should not be associated with ORI.
Results: Four studies (N = 1257) supported these predictions. Study 1 found cross-sectional support for these hypotheses from the victim's perspective. Study 2 replicated Study 1 and extended it to the perpetrator's perspective by demonstrating that the relationship between passion and ORI is mediated by fear of abandonment. Study 3 replicated these findings using an experimental manipulation of passion. Study 4 found similar results by experimentally manipulating fear of abandonment, the mediator, to demonstrate its causal influence on ORI.
Conclusions: Taken together, the present results demonstrate that passion and fear of abandonment play an important role in the type of behavior people are willing to pursue to maintain their romantic relationship.

Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) struggle with recognizing facial expressions of emotions, and their relatives may experience milder similar challenges, known as the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP).
- The study used a Differential Outcomes Procedure (DOP) to assess emotion recognition in both adults with ASD and their relatives, finding that the ASD group performed worse than the BAP group in recognizing fear.
- Results emphasized the need to consider various autism dimensions in research and showed that both groups needed lower intensity levels to identify emotions through DOP, suggesting it may help improve emotion recognition skills.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Armed Forces Capital Hospital, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-City, Gyeonggi-do, and Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
The aim of this study is to analyze the transformation of aged women into yokai in Japanese literature, examining this metamorphosis from the perspectives of plastic surgery and gerontophobia. The Noh play "Adachigahara" explores the transformation of an outcast into a monstrous figure, highlighting how poverty, isolation, and aging can lead to a person's demonization, both metaphorically and literally. In "Rokujō no Miyasudokoro", Lady Rokujō's transformation into a vengeful spirit is tied to themes of aging, abandonment, and the societal devaluation of women as they grow older.
