Objective: Decision-making (DM) is simply choosing among alternatives or defining one's course of action. A depressed individual does not perceive himself as a decision-maker as ruminations reinforce dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs and poor executive functioning. The aim was to study and compare the relationship among DM, metacognition, and executive functioning in those with recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) and in healthy controls (HCs).
Methods: A cross-sectional comparative group study design was used with a sample size of 40, with 20 participants in each group. The tools used were Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, General Health Questionnaire, Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire, Metacognitive Questionnaire, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and Controlled Oral Word Association Test.
Results: The RDD group had significantly higher scores on buck-passing (BP), procrastination (PR), hypervigilance, and dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs, and poor performance on executive functioning than HC. PR was inversely correlated with executive functioning and dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs in the RDD group, whereas in the HC group, BP was positively correlated with executive functioning and dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs.
Conclusion: DM has a significant relationship with executive functions and dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs; therefore, changes in any one variable contribute to changes in the other two. The altered attentional and executive control due to dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs leads to poor DM, resulting in psychosocial dysfunction. The underlying metacognitive beliefs and executive functioning play a crucial role in DM, the process determining psychosocial functioning.

Objectives: We assessed the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Pain-related Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep (PBAS) scale among patients with chronic pain. Furthermore, we investigated whether pan-related dysfunctional beliefs about sleep mediate the relationship between sleep severity and pain.
Methods: Overall, 100 participants with chronic pain were recruited using an anonymous online survey.

Given shifts to dimensional models of personality pathology and a growing consensus that personality disorder (PD) often onsets during adolescence, there is a need for validated measures of PD in adolescents. Level of Personality Functioning (LPF) is particularly relevant for the identification of emerging personality dysfunction in adolescents given its ability to capture developmental discontinuity as metacognitive capacities in self- and interpersonal-functioning emerge. However, no studies as of yet have validated a measure of LPF in a sample of Spanish-speaking adolescents.

Purpose: To explore the characteristic quality of health profiles of children with paediatric acquired brain injury (pABI), and to investigate whether improvement in executive function (EF) following cognitive rehabilitation is associated with improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Method: A study of secondary endpoints in a blinded, parallel-randomised controlled trial with children (ages 10-17 years) with pABI and executive dysfunction. Data was obtained from 73 children-parent dyads.

Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can lead to functional and cognitive decline, increasing dementia risk. There is a pressing need for interventions that prevent this deterioration. The ASPIRE (Adult Strategies Put Into Real-world Environments) intervention was developed to improve performance of daily activities.

There is uncertainty about whether delusion formation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be explained by false memories. "Metamemory," the ability to self-evaluate memory and identify memory errors, is impaired in people with delusions in schizophrenia. Our objective was to investigate whether false memory and metamemory were associated with delusions in AD.
