Objectives: Cognitive insight reflects cognitive processes concerning patients' capacity of distancing from and reevaluation of anomalous beliefs and misinterpretations. The purpose of the present study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale.
Methods: The English language version of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale was translated into Literary Arabic. A total of 150 patients with and without psychosis completed the Arabic version of Beck Cognitive Insight Scale and additional evaluations to assess psychopathology. Psychometric properties including content validity, construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity and reliability were assessed for this translated measure.
Results: Our results revealed that the Arabic version of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale showed adequate psychometric properties that permitone to assess impairments of cognitive insight in patients with psychosis and in patients without psychotic features. The fit indices of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the validity of the two-factor structure corresponding to self-reflectiveness and self-certainty subscales. Psychotic patients were significantly more confident in their beliefs compared with non-psychotic patients. Scores of self-certainty were significantly higher in psychotic patients. Cronbach's alpha reliability indicator of the Arabic version was equal to 0.60. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.60 and 0.53 for the self-reflectiveness sub-scale and the self-certainty sub-scale, respectively.
Conclusions: The Arabic version of the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale is valid and reliable for the assessment of cognitive insight. It may improve the detection and the prevention of impairments in cognitive insight.

Extrinsic motivation can foster effortful cognitive control. Moreover, the selective coupling of extrinsic motivation on low- versus high-control demands tasks would exert an additional impact. However, to what extent their influences are further modulated by the level of Need for Cognition (NFC) remains unclear.

While impaired response inhibition has been reported in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), findings in disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have been inconsistent, probably due to unaccounted effects of co-occurring ADHD in DBD. This study investigated the associations of behavioral and neural correlates of response inhibition with DBD and ADHD symptom severity, covarying for each other in a dimensional approach. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were available for 35 children and adolescents with DBDs (8-18 years old, 19 males), and 31 age-matched unaffected controls (18 males) while performing a performance-adjusted stop-signal task.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by systemic inflammation. While RA primarily affects the joints, its systemic effects may lead to an increased cerebro- and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events and serves as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.

We investigated the naturalistic processing of interpersonal distance in real time and space using a powerful implicit neurophysiological measure of attentional engagement. In a sample of 37 young adults recruited at a UK university, we found greater EEG alpha band suppression when a person occupies or moves into near personal space than for a person occupying or moving into public space.
