Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii), a wildtype species native to North America, have been investigated for their spontaneous compulsive-like behaviour. The repetitive and persistence nature of three unique compulsive-like phenotypes in deer mice, i.e., high stereotypy (HS), large nesting behaviour (LNB) and high marble burying (HMB), are characterized by behavioural and cognitive rigidity. In this narrative review, we summarize key advances in the model's application to study obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), emphasizing how it may be used to investigate neurobiological and neurocognitive aspects of rigidity. Indeed, deer mice provide the field with a unique naturalistic and spontaneous model system of behavioural and cognitive rigidity that is useful for investigating the psychobiological mechanisms that underpin a range of compulsive-like phenotypes. Throughout the review, we highlight new opportunities for future research.

Introduction
Most studies on recovery of psychotic disorders focus on first-episode populations using premorbid and baseline data to predict recovery. However, many patients experience a long duration of illness and many factors are dynamic and change during life.
Aims
To investigate factors strongest associated with clinical, societal and personal recovery, and recovery change scores in people with a long duration of illness using current data measured at the same assessment.
Methods
Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analyses with cross-validation were used to identify the correlates of (changes in) clinical (N = 1054), societal (N = 1145) and personal recovery (N = 1187) in people with psychotic disorders. Subsequently, the identified associated factors were included in separate linear regression models, examining the associative strength of the identified variables and overall fit of the models.
Results
Better clinical recovery was associated with better societal and personal recovery, experiencing fewer problems with daily functioning and social relations. Participants had a better societal recovery when they were employed, had fewer problems in daily life, less negative symptoms, had a life partner and better clinical recovery. Personal recovery was associated with greater satisfaction with life in general, no depressive mood and increased clinical recovery. Change scores were small with minimal fluctuation and no significant associations with change scores were detected.
Conclusions
Recovery domains strongly influence each other in people with a long illness duration of psychosis and should therefore have an equally important focus during treatment.

In an era of high need for humanitarian assistance, humanitarian aid workers face increased exposure to potentially traumatic events and, correspondingly, a greater risk of psychological distress (e.g., anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], and burnout). Less studied among humanitarian workers, however, are other known correlates of trauma-exposure: complex PTSD, risk-taking behaviours, and suicidality. The current study examined levels of trauma exposure and rates of trauma-related mental health disorders, risk-taking behaviour, and levels of suicidality among a sample (N = 232) of humanitarian workers located across 52 countries. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine which demographic (i.e., sex, age, cadre, years working as an aid worker), psychological (i.e., social support, personality traits), and trauma-related (trauma exposure, complex posttraumatic stress disorder [CPTSD] symptoms, and dissociation) variables were uniquely associated with risk-taking behaviours and suicidality. Overall, 12.9 % (95 % CI = 8.5 %, 17.2 %) of humanitarian workers met the diagnostic requirements for PTSD, and 8.6 % (95 % CI = 5.0 %, 12.2 %) met requirements for CPTSD. Higher risk-taking behaviours were significantly associated with being male, an international worker, greater trauma exposure, extraversion, neuroticism, and CPTSD symptoms. Suicidality was significantly associated with being an international staff member and higher levels of dissociation. Results are consistent with previous studies citing a high risk of psychological distress among humanitarian workers. Humanitarian aid agencies have a duty of care to their workers - both professional and volunteer - and greater safeguarding measures are necessary to mitigate the risk to mental health brought on by humanitarian work-related stressors.
在人道主义援助需求高涨的时代，人道主义援助工作者面临着更多潜在创伤事件的风险，相应地，也面临着更大的心理困扰风险（如焦虑、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和职业倦怠）。然而，在人道主义工作者中，对创伤暴露的其他已知相关因素研究较少：复杂创伤后应激障碍、冒险行为和自杀倾向。本研究调查了位于 52 个国家的人道主义工作者样本（样本数 = 232）中的创伤暴露程度、与创伤相关的心理健康疾病发病率、冒险行为和自杀程度。我们采用多元线性回归分析来确定哪些人口统计学变量（即性别、年龄、干部、援助工作者工作年限）、心理学变量（即社会支持、人格特质）和创伤相关变量（创伤暴露、复杂创伤后应激障碍 [CPTSD] 症状和分离）与冒险行为和自杀倾向有独特的关联。总体而言，12.9%（95% CI = 8.5%，17.2%）的人道主义工作者符合创伤后应激障碍的诊断要求，8.6%（95% CI = 5.0%，12.2%）符合复杂创伤后应激障碍的诊断要求。较高的冒险行为与男性、国际工作人员、较多的创伤暴露、外向性、神经质和 CPTSD 症状有显著关联。自杀行为与国际工作人员身份和较高的解离程度有很大关系。这些研究结果与之前的研究结果一致，即人道救援人员面临着较高的心理压力风险。人道主义援助机构有责任照顾其工作人员（包括专业人员和志愿者），因此有必要采取更多的保障措施，以降低与人道主义工作相关的压力给心理健康带来的风险。

Background and aims
Previous studies are limited in addressing the directionality of temporal relationships between problematic gaming and phubbing symptoms by exploring cross-sectional studies. Therefore, we estimated the longitudinal relationships between individual behavioral addictive symptoms including problematic gaming and phubbing in adolescence, and explored potential sex differences in these relationships.
Methods
This study included 3296 participants in Shandong Province, China. Data were collected from November 2021 (mean [SD] age: 15.17 [1.44] years) to May 2023 (mean [SD] age: 17.50 [1.18] years), with females comprising 54.5 % of the sample. Problematic gaming and phubbing were assessed using validated scales at each wave. We construct cross-sectional networks and cross-lagged panel networks (CLPN) to explore the contemptuous and temporal relationships between problematic gaming and phubbing.
Results
Contemporaneous networks revealed significant differences in problematic gaming and phubbing networks between males and females. Additionally, temporal network analyses indicated that among male adolescents, feeling anxious when unable to play games was the most influential predictor of subsequent behavioral addictive symptoms. For female adolescents, fantasizing about gaming had the most significant associations with future addictive behaviors. The strongest bridge symptom linking problematic gaming and phubbing for both sexes was focusing on phones rather than engaging in conversation.
Discussion and conclusions
The study applied network modeling to panel data from a large, population-based cohort of adolescents, identifying unique longitudinal relationships between problematic gaming and phubbing across symptom domains. It provides valuable insights into the characterization of behavioral addictive symptoms among adolescents and the potential predictive relationships among these symptoms among different sexes, guiding sex-specific targeted interventions for adolescents.

Background
Hoarding disorder (HD) is characterized by difficulty discarding possessions and clutter that impairs daily functioning. Previous research has demonstrated a high correlation between hoarding behaviors and suicidal thoughts and behaviors; however, there is limited research on suicidal thoughts and behaviors in individuals meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for HD. Our aim in this study was to report our findings about suicidal thoughts and behaviors in a HD sample.
Methods
We used existing data from participants meeting DSM-5 criteria for HD (n = 99). Data about suicidal thoughts and behaviors was collected using a structured instrument, the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
Results
Among the 99 participants, 49.5 % and 26.3 % had passive and active suicidal ideation (SI), respectively. Of those with active ideation, 11 participants endorsed thinking about overdose during their most severe SI. 13 participants reported attempting suicide at least once in their lifetime.
Conclusions
To our knowledge, this is the first study examining suicidal thoughts and behaviors in HD using the structured assessment C-SSRS. In this HD data set, participants reported suicidal thoughts and behaviors at higher rates than the general U.S. population. Our study highlights the importance of screening for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in individuals with HD.
背景：囤积症（HD）的特征是难以丢弃财物和杂物，从而影响日常功能。以往的研究表明，囤积行为与自杀想法和行为之间存在高度相关性；然而，关于符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM-5）HD 标准的患者自杀想法和行为的研究却十分有限。本研究旨在报告我们对 HD 样本中自杀想法和行为的调查结果：我们使用了符合 DSM-5 HD 标准的参与者（n = 99）的现有数据。我们使用结构化工具--哥伦比亚自杀严重程度评定量表（C-SSRS）收集有关自杀想法和行为的数据：结果：在 99 名参与者中，分别有 49.5% 和 26.3% 的人有被动和主动自杀意念 (SI)。在有主动自杀意念的参与者中，有 11 人表示在最严重的自杀意念中曾想过用药过量。13名参与者表示在其一生中至少尝试过一次自杀：据我们所知，这是第一项使用结构化评估 C-SSRS 研究 HD 患者自杀想法和行为的研究。在这组 HD 数据中，参与者报告自杀想法和行为的比例高于美国普通人群：我们的研究强调了筛查 HD 患者自杀想法和行为的重要性。

Background
The popularity of video games has considerably increased in recent years, with approximately 3.24 billion players worldwide in 2021. Empirical evidence suggests that the quality of engagement in video games can determine whether a gaming activity is associated with psychological distress (i.e., problematic gaming) or self-enhancing outcomes (i.e., esports career pursuits). This study investigates the role of influential gaming role models and other external factors relating to fame appeal in gamers' different ways of engagement.
Methods
A total of 803 adolescent and adult gamers (89.29 % male, Mage = 24.90 years, SD = 6.13) were recruited through an online questionnaire.
Results
A path analysis was constructed demonstrating that wishful identification partially mediated the relationship between desire for fame and esports career planning. Moreover, maladaptive daydreaming fully mediated the association between desire for fame and gaming disorder symptoms. Wishful identification with gaming role models predicted both esports career planning and gaming disorder symptoms.
Conclusions
The findings shed light on the importance of considering the role of gaming role models in predicting healthy and problematic gaming patterns.

Background
Refugees' parenting behaviour is profoundly influenced by their mental health, which is, in turn, influenced by their situation of displacement. Our research presents the first systematic review on parenting and mental health in protracted refugee situations, where 78% of all refugees reside.
Methods
We pre-registered our protocol and screened documents in 22 languages from 10 electronic databases, reports by 16 international humanitarian organisations and region-specific content from the top 100 websites for each of the 72 countries that ‘host’ protracted refugees. Our criteria were empirical papers reporting parenting and parental mental health data on refugees who are in a protracted refugee situation. Studies including only internally displaced or stateless persons were excluded.
Results
A total of 18,125 documents were screened and 30 studies were included. We identified a universal pathway linking macro-level stressors in protracted refugee situations, such as movement restrictions and documentation issues, to symptoms of depression and anxiety, which, in turn, led to negative parenting practices. Addtionally, culture-specific pathways were observed in the way parental mental health and parenting were expressed. Situational (e.g., overcrowding) and relational factors (e.g., spousal dynamics) modulated both of these pathways. Biases in the research included the over-representation of specific protracted refugee situations, overreliance on self-reported data, and a heavy focus on mothers while neglecting fathers and other caregivers. Longitudinal research is needed to clarify the directionality and causality between specific macro-level stressors in a given protracted refugee situation and parental mental health and practices. Refugees were rarely consulted or involved in the design of research about their parenting and parental mental health.
Conclusion
In recognising the existing links between protracted refugee situations, parental mental health, and parenting, our systematic review calls for a shift in thinking: from focusing solely on the micro aspects that affect ‘refugee parenting’ to understanding and tackling the broader macro-level stressors that drive them. We urge for larger and long-term research efforts that consider diverse protracted refugee situations, greater investment in science communication and diplomacy with governments, and stronger implementation of durable solutions by states to alleviate the roots of refugee parents' distress and negative parenting practices.

Compulsive shopping, a behavioral disorder with significant personal and social repercussions, necessitates reliable assessment tools, especially within different cultural contexts. While several scales exist to measure compulsive buying behavior, there is a lack of validated instruments tailored to the Chinese population. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Compulsive Shopping Scale (CSS) using Item Response Theory (IRT). A total of 637 young healthy participants (42.5 % males and 57.5 % females), with a mean age of 21.32 years (SD = 2.06), both undergraduate and postgraduate students, were recruited from various cities in China. Sixty-four participants were retested after a two-week interval to assess test-retest reliability. The results indicated that a one-dimensional factor structure was appropriate. The reliability analyses, including test-retest reliability, ω, α, and λ6 tests, demonstrated good internal consistency. The rating scale model analysis showed infit and outfit MNSQ values between 0.6 and 1.4, indicating a good fit. The item information curve and test information curve indicated a normal distribution of scores. Differential item functioning was observed in two items, suggesting potential gender-related differences. These findings indicate that the Chinese version of the CSS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring compulsive shopping behaviors in Chinese populations.

Introduction
While ample data demonstrate the effectiveness of inpatient psychosomatic treatment, clinical observation and empirical evidence demonstrate that not all patients benefit equally from established therapeutic methods. Especially patients with a comorbid personality disorder often show reduced therapeutic success compared to other patient groups. Due to the heterogeneous and categorical personality assessment, previous studies indicated no uniform direction of this influence. This complicates the derivation of therapeutic recommendations for mental disorders with comorbid personality pathology.
Methods
Analyzing n = 2094 patients from German university hospitals enrolled in the prospective “MEPP” study, we tested the dynamic interaction between dimensionally assessed personality functioning and psychopathology of anxiety and depression.
Results
Longitudinal structural equation modelling replicated the finding that the severity of symptoms at admission predicts symptom improvement within the same symptom domain. In addition, we here report a significant coupling parameter between the baseline level of personality function and the change in general psychopathology - and vice versa.
Discussion and conclusion
These results imply that personality pathology at admission hinders the therapeutic improvement in anxiety and depression, and that improvement of personality pathology is hindered by general psychopathology. Furthermore, the covariance between both domains supports the assumption that personality functioning and general psychopathology cannot be clearly distinguished and adversely influence each other. A dimensional assessment of the personality pathology is therefore recommendable for psychotherapy research and targeted therapeutic treatment.

Aims
Trait impulsivity and trait rumination appear to uniquely contribute to problem gambling. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated their relationship with each other, and no study has tested whether their interplay could explain problem gambling. In this study, we aimed to examine these associations, especially focusing on the putative moderator role of gender.
Methods
The present study utilized data from the first wave of the Budapest Longitudinal Study, representatively surveying young adults. The final, weighted sample consisted of N = 1202 (649 men; mean age = 28.04 years; SD = 4.31) participants who reported gambling in the past year. Gambling severity was assessed by the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), trait impulsivity was measured by Barratt Impulsiveness Scale short form (BIS-R-10), while rumination was assessed by the short version of Ruminative Response Scale (RRS).
Results
Multiple linear regression analysis showed significant positive association between impulsivity and problematic gambling, and we found that both trait rumination and gender moderated this association, even after controlling for depressed mood, age, level of education, and subjective relative wealth. For men, when the level of trait rumination was high, higher levels of trait impulsivity were associated with an increase in gambling problems. However, these associations were not found among women.
Conclusions
Our results suggested that the interplay of trait rumination and trait impulsivity might contribute to problem gambling, potentially by the impulsive desire to alleviate negative mood states. Our results also revealed that these associations could be stronger among men than in women.
