The aim of this research was to examine the various psychological characteristics that affect psychological maladjustment in children undergoing orthodontic treatment. In this context, the predictive and mediating relationships between emotional reactivity, intolerance of uncertainty, psychological resilience and psychological maladjustment were considered. The study was conducted cross-sectionally with 543 children and adolescents aged 10−18 years, who were being treated at a state university orthodontic clinic in Turkey. Standardized measurement tools (The Emotional Reactivity Scale, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, Brief Resilience Scale and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) and online data collection processes were used in the data collection process. The findings show that emotional reactivity and intolerance of uncertainty pose a risk for psychological maladjustment in children and adolescents receiving orthodontic treatment, but psychological resilience has a protective function against this risk (p < 0.001). It is suggested that these findings may contribute to the expansion of pediatric dentists’ perspectives on the secondary outcomes of orthodontic treatment practices.

Amygdala Structure and Function: Association With Transdiagnostic Trauma Severity in Anxiety and Mood Disorder Patients.
Psychophysiology
March 2025
Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
Reductions in both the size of the amygdala and functional activity during emotional processing have been independently associated with trauma exposure and severity, raising the question of whether reduced volume prompts reduced functional activation. In this multimodal assessment, the relationship between amygdala structure and function was investigated in mood and anxiety patients to determine their covariation and their relationship to trauma magnitude. Overall, amygdala volume and functional emotional reactivity were unrelated, with smaller volumes and reduced emotional reactivity each independently predicting trauma magnitude for women, and mediation analysis did not support a hypothesis that the relationship between reduced functional activity and trauma severity depends on amygdala volume.

NaiKan Therapy, a method of self-reflection and introspection, has garnered considerable interest for its psychological benefits. However, its physiological impacts, particularly on hormonal regulation, remain underexplored. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of NaiKan Therapy on salivary oxytocin and cortisol release, shedding light on the psychophysiological mechanisms underlying this introspective practice.
