We aimed to examine the subtype classification characteristics of depressive symptoms in Shidu parents (SDPs, parents who have lost their only child) and their associations with resilience and coping styles. The sample comprised 182 SDPs (Mean age = 59.93 ± 7.41 years, 61.5% females). Latent profile analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Three subgroups of depressive symptoms in SDPs were identified: the depression and pessimism group (38.4%), the low depression symptoms group (30.8%), and the well-adapted group (30.8%). The low depression symptoms group had a lower education level and higher family monthly income than the depression and pessimism group. The low depression symptoms group and the well-adapted group scored significantly higher in resilience, and lower in negative coping style than the depression and pessimism group. The results highlighted that target intervention is needed for SDPs with high education levels, low family monthly income, high negative coping style, and low resilience in the depression and pessimism group.

Article Synopsis
  • Women with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have higher baseline testosterone levels, prompting researchers to explore the relationship between salivary testosterone and specific BPD symptoms.
  • The study involved 98 women with BPD, assessing their testosterone levels and emotional symptoms using self-rating scales for BPD severity and depression.
  • Results indicated that higher testosterone was linked to overall increased symptom severity, particularly associated with negative self-perception and depressive feelings, rather than the expected aggressive or impulsive behaviors.

However, with the increasing diversification and personalization of social media platforms, the impact of different platforms on college students varies significantly. It is necessary to examine the specific symptom network of problematic use in certain platforms and its relationship with depression.

Individuals high in depressive symptom severity show probability bias: they believe negative events are relatively probable, and positive events relatively improbable, compared to those with less severe symptoms. However, this has only ever been demonstrated using self-report measures, in which participants explicitly estimate events' probabilities: this leaves open the risk that "probability bias" is merely an artefact of response bias. We tested the veracity of probability bias using an indirect behavioural measure, based on a sentence-reading task.
