This study aimed to explore the relationship between Disintegration (proneness to psychotic like experiences & behaviours) and achievement in the AX Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT), which is assumed to measure the efficiency of context processing. The study involved 273 university students. In order to test the research hypotheses, a series of hierarchical multiple regressions was performed. Control variables, including intelligence and basic personality traits, were placed in the first two blocks of regression, while Disintegration was placed in the third block. The criteria used in the analysis were: failure to give an accurate answer to the target stimulus pairs (AX), at the level of the task as a whole, as well as at the level of different interstimulus intervals (total AX errors, AX errors at shorter and AX errors at longer interstimulus interval), mislabeling of a non-target stimulus as a target (total BX errors), the average time of correct responses to stimulus pairs (elapsed time between the presentation of a stimulus pair on the screen and the response as to whether the target stimulus pair was presented - mean reaction time for: AX stimulus pairs at shorter and longer interstimulus interval, total AX, BX and AY stimulus pairs), as well as general sensitivity to context - index d'. Disintegration did not prove to be a significant predictor of these indices of the efficiency of context processing above other predictors. Various indices of task performance are consistently related only to intelligence. The sporadic contribution of other personality traits seems to reflect mostly a general importance of motivation for this type of cognitive tasks.

Researchers interested in emotions and romantic relationships have long been struggling to find efficient and reliable emotion elicitation techniques. In this article, we present the work of creating and testing the effectiveness of hypothetical scenarios that elicit anger and hurt in romantic relational contexts. In study one, two hypothetical scenarios for each emotion were created using the most frequent categories of recalled affective events. Further on, we tested their effectiveness in eliciting anger or hurt in three different phases. In study two, 337 participants, aged between 18 and 40 (M = 19.93; SD = 3.17), read the scenarios and rated them according to several criteria such as arousal, discreteness, positive and negative induced affectivity. We found that our hypothetical scenarios were effective on discreteness, arousal, and positive and negative affect for eliciting anger and hurt in the contexts of romantic relationships.

Prediction of treatment response to trauma-focused psychotherapy remains a difficult task. This study evaluated treatment response to Brief Eclectic Psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (BEPP) dependent on pre-treatment variables, symptom progression, and manual adherence. We tested differences in pre-treatment variables and symptom time course between treatment responders and non-responders in 27 patients, using exact regression analyses and general linear models. Associations of therapists? adherence to the treatment manual during different therapy phases with response status were also studied using independent samples t-test. Lower education and complete inability to work were negatively related to therapy outcome. Significant differences in symptom time course between responders and non-responders were detected from session nine onwards, whereas adherence to treatment was not related to outcome during any treatment phase. Our results indicate that early identification of treatment response may meaningfully expand previous research on outcome predicton based on pre-treatment variables in trauma-focused psychotherapy. Furthermore, adaptations of treatment protocols for specific groups of patients with increased risk of poor treatment outcomes may be advisable. If replicated by more naturalistic designs, our results could contribute towards limiting the requirement of strict manual adherence to efficacy studies in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment research.

The aim of the current study was to validate the Serbian adaptation of the Job Crafting Scale (JCS), applying both qualitative and quantitative approaches, within three studies totalling 832 employees from different industries. Job crafting is work behaviour aimed at modifying job tasks in order to enhance and maintain work motivation. In Study 1, we have tested the understanding of all items and their possible cultural embeddedness. In Study 2, we have tested the JCS factor structure, factors? reliability and validity. In Study 3, we have tested the invariance of the proposed models (Study 2 and Study 3 models) and criterion validity by analysing the correlation between the JCS and work engagement. Qualitative analysis has revealed that the majority of items transferred the intended meaning. Special care should be taken in interpreting the decreasing hindering job demands dimension scores, since these items might point toward behaviours that were not perceived as positive. With its overall reliability, second-order four-factor model invariance and criterion validity, originally composed 21-item JCS could be considered to be a valid instrument for assessing job crafting in Serbia. The present study has also shown that the 12-item JCS-Serbian short version has satisfactory psychometric properties and that it could be considered as a valid local job crafting scale.

The Bangla version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS?B) is a popular psychological assessment tool in Bangladesh. It has largely been used to measure perceived social support of Bangladeshi people. In spite of its popularity, it had not gone through an extensive validation procedure yet. Even its psychometric properties were not tested before, except for the test-retest reliability. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of MSPSS?B through a questionnaire survey among 812adult Bangladeshi people. The MSPSS?B revealed a three-factor structure through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on the first split sample (n = 403), explaining 71.64% of the total variance. Acceptable goodness of fit indices (?2/df = 4.293, p = .000, GFI = .920, CFI = .926, TLI = .904, SRMR = .063, and RMSEA = .078) in the MSPSS?B were obtained through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the second split sample (n = 409). The three-factor structure of the MSPSS-B was the same as the original English MSPSS. Acceptable internal item consistencies, significant test-retest reliabilities, reliabilities between two scale versions, convergent and discriminant validities, and measurement invariance between two gender groups were also established in the MSPSS-B through different statistical analyses. Thus, the MSPSS?B with its three factors can be used as a valid and reliable measure to assess the perceived social support of Bangladeshi people.

Two studies with the same goal, but different instruments, investigated the correlation between basic personality traits and electrodermal reactivity to aversive visual stimuli. Study 1 focused on the Five Factor Model traits, while in Study 2, we investigated the HEXACO model, and an additional trait, Disintegration. In Study 1, emotional reactivity was expressed using Polyscore, a composite polygraph measure in which electrodermal response (EDR) had the largest weight, and it was measured with respect to stimuli with positive, neutral, and negative valences. In Study 2, we employed several measures of EDR to stimuli with negative valence. In both experiments, Conscientiousness correlated positively with EDR to aversive stimuli. Additionally, in Study 2, there was a negative correlation between Disintegration and EDR to aversive stimuli. Other traits were not related to EDR to aversive stimuli, and, in Study 1, we found no relationship between personality traits and reactivity to stimuli with positive or neutral valence.

In the present study, we explored the mediating effects of depression from COVID-19 (DEP-COVID) and self-esteem (S-EST) on the relationship between fear of COVID-19 (F-COVID) and future career anxiety (C-ANX) in high-school and university students (N = 470, M = 20.17, SD = 2.02, 63.04% females). We were interested in exploring these relationships in both the overall sample and high school students and university students, separately. Our findings suggested that DEP-COVID partially mediated the relationship between F-COVID and C-ANX in both groups (i.e., high-school and university students). Self-esteem was not significantly correlated to our primary variables in high-school students. In university students, as well as the overall sample, results suggested the partially mediating role of S-EST on the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and C-ANX. We discuss our findings concerning the practices that may foster students' career development in turbulent times and consider possible interventions for these specific groups following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The objective of the study was to evaluate predictor variables stemming from different assessment approaches (medical documentation, neuropsychological assessment, and Mediatester driving assessment) on patient's ability to drive (passing the practical driving test with a qualified instructor) following a TBI (traumatic brain injury) or a stroke. The study included 63 participants (54 males), aged 20 to 80 years (M = 44.4; SD = 16.7). Majority of participants suffered a TBI and 18 participants were included after an ischemic stroke. Patients who passed a driving test had significantly higher composite index on Comprehensive Trail- Making Test (medium or large effect size) compared to those who did not pass a driving test, or those who passed the driving test with limitations. The results on the 18-light reaction test (18 LRT) suggest that the reaction time could also play a role in predicting the ability to drive. The model with these two predictors, along with Glasgow Coma Scale, successfully classified 90 % of participants in two respectful groups; passed vs. did not pass a driving test/passed the driving test with limitations. The results suggest that neuropsychological and driving assessments that measure a range of cognitive abilities are better predictors of regaining the ability to drive after a TBI or stroke than separate cognitive abilities.

We hypothesized that personal resources weaken the negative impact of job demands on work engagement.

This study was conducted using structural equation modelling to examine the relationship between the psychological contract, psychological well-being, and professional engagement. The sample of the study included 416 teachers who were selected using a disproportionate cluster sampling method from primary and middle schools in Turkey. In analysing relations between variables, mediation testing was performed using the structural equation model and the bootstrap method. The results of this study showed that professional engagement is both directly and indirectly affected via psychological well-being by the psychological contract. How teachers perceive the psychological contract is an important variable that shapes their psychological well-being and professional engagement. Accordingly, school administrations should meet these teacher expectations and display attitudes and behaviours that encourage teachers to take active roles in school-related decisions, thereby further increasing the professional engagement of their teachers.
