Background: A gap exists in measures available to assess levels of motivation, desire, and value associated with connecting with others. Moreover, few social connection scales have been developed with a goal of including autistic individuals in the sample to create a measure that has utility across neurodiverse populations. This study aims to develop a measure to assess different facets of social connection that is valid among both autistic and non-autistic adults.

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a significant health problem, and trauma exposure is a known risk factor for the escalation of substance use. However, the shared neural mechanisms through which trauma is associated with substance use are still unknown. Therefore, we systematically review neuroimaging studies focusing on three domains that may contribute to the overlapping mechanisms of SUD and trauma-reward salience, negative emotionality, and inhibition.

Peer-Run Respite Approaches to Supporting People Experiencing an Emotional Crisis.

Psychiatr Serv

November 2024

Lauren Spiro and Associates (Spiro); Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey, Freehold, and Center of Alcohol and Substance Use Studies, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey (Swarbrick).

Research shows that guests experience peer-run respites as empowering and safe places where they feel more seen, heard, and respected than they do in conventional settings. This column describes the successful and unique processes of peer-run respites that support guests in emotional crisis and facilitate healing. In a discussion informed by their experiences and the literature, the authors examine how peer-run respites differ from conventional psychiatric crisis response services in their basic philosophy: how emotional crisis is understood, the goal of crisis response, how trauma is viewed, the importance of self-determination, power dynamics, and relationality.

One step towards closing health gaps is clinicians who can provide health and social care services that are free of racism and mistrust. Indigenous health providers are in the best position to provide this culturally relevant and safe care to their own communities.

Introduction: Children with ADHD demonstrate difficulties on many different neuropsychological tests. However, it remains unclear whether this pattern reflects a large number of distinct deficits or a small number of deficit(s) that broadly impact test performance. The current study is among the first experiments to systematically manipulate demands on both working memory and inhibition, with implications for competing conceptual models of ADHD pathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and early death, with global health efforts focusing on lifestyle changes, particularly exercise, to manage it.
  • - While traditional aerobic and resistance exercises are commonly recommended, isometric exercise training (IET) has shown even better results in lowering blood pressure, but is not widely used in clinical settings.
  • - The review discusses IET's effectiveness, how to prescribe it, the quality of supporting research, its physiological benefits, and suggests future research directions to enhance its use in blood pressure management.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has primarily been studied from a deficit-focused perspective. However, there are individuals with ADHD who exhibit resilience or a pattern of positive adaptation despite the risks associated with their diagnosis. The present study evaluated whether peer acceptance predicted resilience for adolescents with ADHD and if self-efficacy or a stress-is-enhancing mindset served as mechanisms of those relations.

Healthcare (Basel)

April 2024

Department of Clinical Psychology, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA.

Assessment of restricted, repetitive behaviors (RRB) in autism evaluations often assumes that these behaviors negatively impact the individual. Qualitative studies of first-person accounts indicate the negative impact of the stigma associated with RRBs but also provide insights into the positive aspects. The current study explores how framing response options as negative (i.

Factorial validity and measurement invariance of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ).

Psychol Sport Exerc

July 2024

School of Science, Technology, and Health, York St John University, York, UK; Graduate Department of Kinesiology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) is a leading tool for measuring athlete burnout but has faced issues with previous validation efforts, including model restrictions and mixed validity support.
  • Using data from 914 athletes, researchers applied confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling to better assess the ABQ's factorial validity and measurement invariance across gender, sport type, and age.
  • The findings indicated that an exploratory structural equation model was a better fit and confirmed that the ABQ functions similarly across different athlete demographics, ensuring reliable comparisons in burnout research.

Both the new ICD-11 and the latest Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders focus on self and interpersonal functioning as the central feature of personality pathology, also acknowledging that personality disorders are organized along a dimensional continuum of severity. This revised understanding is in line with long-standing psychodynamic conceptualisations of personality pathology, in particular Kernberg's object relations model of personality organization. Despite existing evidence for the clinical utility of the derived Structured Interview of Personality Organization (STIPO-R), empirical support for the identification of clear cut-points between the different levels of personality functioning is missing.

Linguistic analysis of health anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PLoS One

February 2024

Department of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Piscataway, New Jersey, United States of America.

Health anxiety, which is defined as fear of having or contracting serious physical illness, is particularly salient in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a mixed methods study in which 578 narrative samples were analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software to determine linguistic markers from six LIWC categories relevant to cognitive-behavioral features of health anxiety. Broad linguistic predictors were analyzed through three backward elimination regression models in order to inform subcategory predictors of each area of health anxiety.
