Background: Distinguishing between trait- and state-like neural alternations in major depressive disorder (MDD) may advance our understanding of this recurring disorder. We aimed to investigate dynamic functional connectivity alternations in unmedicated individuals with current or past MDD using co-activation pattern analyses.
Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from individuals with first-episode current MDD (cMDD, n = 50), remitted MDD (rMDD, n = 44), and healthy controls (HCs, n = 64). Using a data-driven consensus clustering technique, four whole-brain states of spatial co-activation were identified and associated metrics (dominance, entries, transition frequency) were analyzed with respect to clinical characteristics.
Results: Relative to rMDD and HC, cMDD showed increased dominance and entries of state 1 (primarily involving default mode network (DMN)), and decreased dominance of state 4 (mostly involving frontal-parietal network (FPN)). Among cMDD, state 1 entries correlated positively with trait rumination. Conversely, relative to cMDD and HC, individuals with rMDD were characterized by increased state 4 entries. Relative to HC, both MDD groups showed increased state 4-to-1 (FPN to DMN) transition frequency but reduction in state 3 (spanning visual attention, somatosensory, limbic networks), with the former metric specifically related to trait rumination.
Limitations: Further confirmation with longitudinal studies are required.
Conclusions: Regardless of symptoms, MDD was characterized by increased FPN-to-DMN transitions and reduced dominance of a hybrid network. State-related effect emerged in regions critically implicated in repetitive introspection and cognitive control. Asymptomatic individuals with past MDD were uniquely linked to increased FPN entries. Our findings identify trait-like brain network dynamics that might increase vulnerability to future MDD.

The butterfly effect of appreciation at work: An impulse for daily perfectionistic cognitions and well-being beyond the workday.
J Occup Health Psychol
December 2024
Department of Psychology, Work and Organizational Psychology, Philipps-University of Marburg.
Research on employee perfectionism and its duality is shifting from a mere dispositional perspective to consider the state-like nature of this phenomenon. Despite recent findings identifying negative work experiences as antecedents of daily perfectionism, the role of positive experiences remains to be elaborated. Bridging the principles of trait activation and stress-as-offense-to-self theory, the present study examined the role of daily appreciation as a positive, self-affirming experience for the expression of daily perfectionistic cognitions at work and its implications for well-being (vigor, serenity) beyond the workday.

Researchers have demonstrated the important contribution of mothers' sensitive parenting to children's developing cognition over the first 5 years of life, yet studies examining sensitivity beyond the early years, controlling for earlier effects, are limited. In this exploratory study, we examined the developmental pathways through which mothers' early and later sensitive parenting transacted with children's language, executive function, academics, and self-reliance to predict child outcomes from infancy to adolescence. To a national longitudinal dataset (n = 1364; 52% male; 80% white), we applied random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling to examine between-person and within-person associations for maternal sensitivity and child outcomes.

Temporal processing deficits in Developmental Dyslexia (DD) have been documented extensively at the behavioral level, leading to the formulation of neural theories positing that such anomalies in parsing multisensory input rely on aberrant synchronization of neural oscillations or to an excessive level of neural noise. Despite reading being primarily supported by visual functions, experimental evidence supporting these theories remains scarce. Here, we tested 26 adults with DD (9 females) and 31 neurotypical controls (16 females) with a temporal segregation/integration task that required participants to either integrate or segregate two rapidly presented displays while their EEG activity was recorded.

Background And Aims: Conflicting findings have been reported for the longitudinal course of behavioral addictions, especially for social media addiction (SMA) and work addiction (WA). Therefore, evaluating whether these constructs are more trait-like or state-like might be informative. The aim of the present study was to examine the proportion of variance of SMA and WA symptoms (as defined by the components model of addiction) explained by trait and occasion-specific factors in addition to exploring cross-lagged relationships between SMA and WA.

Introduction: Epistemic trust (ET), the authenticity and personal relevance we assign to interpersonally transmitted knowledge, is considered an essential component of any effective therapy. Despite its clinical significance, comprehensive empirical support is still lacking regarding whether ET is an inherent characteristic of the patient or acts as a catalyst for therapeutic change. Consequently, unlike other critical components, a clear distinction between its aspects - the patient's attributes, the therapist's contribution, and their unique therapeutic relationship - remains elusive, leaving our understanding incomplete.
