Language de�cits vary widely among people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the semantic processing of autism and its underlying electrophysiological mechanism are still unclear. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for event-related potential (ERP) studies on semantic processing in people with ASD published in English before September 1, 2022. Pooled estimates were calculated by xed-effects or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity. The potential moderator was explored by meta-regression and subgroup analysis. This meta-analysis has been registered on PROSPERO (no. CRD 42021265852). Our study included 14 articles and 18 studies, including 254 ASD patients and 262 controls. Compared to the controls, ASD patients showed a reduced N400 amplitude (Hedges' g = 0.350, P<0.001) in response to linguistic stimuli instead of non-linguistic stimuli. The N400 amplitude can be affected by verbal intelligence and gender. The reduced overall N400 amplitude in ASD patients under linguistic stimuli suggests a linguistic-specic de�cit in semantic processing in individuals of ASD. The decrease of N400 amplitude might be a promising indication of the pool language capacity of ASD.

Virtual reality (VR) seems to have the potential to provide opportunities to promote physical activity (PA) in a fun way. This paper aimed to examine the acute effects of three different virtual reality-based exercise bikes on young adults’ blood pressure (BP) and feelings compared to a traditional exercise cycling session. Four exercise sessions (immersive VR cycling, two non-immersive VR cycling, and traditional cycling) were completed by 36 young adults (22 females; Mage = 23.6 years). BP was measured immediately before and after each session using a BP cuff and exercise-induced feelings were assessed via an established survey immediately after each session. Participants’ previous experience with VR was used as the covariate in the ANCOVA with repeated measures. Significant main effects were observed across cycling sessions for systolic blood pressure [F (2, 29) = 3.04, p = 0.02, η2= 0.38)] and feelings [F (3, 32) = 7.74, p < 0.01, η2 = .42]. In particular, immersive VR and traditional cycling significantly increased systolic blood pressure compared to the two non-immersive VR sessions. Moreover, immersive VR significantly increased feelings compared to the two non-immersive VR sessions, whereas these two nonimmersive VR exercises had significantly greater increased feelings compared to traditional cycling, respectively. Findings suggest immersive VR-based exercise cycling may lead to higher exercise intensities compared to nonimmersive VR cycling. Further, immersive VR cycling yielded higher feelings compared to non-immersive VR and traditional cycling. Thus, immersive VR-based exercise can be a fun and physically active health promotion tool among young adults.
虚拟现实(VR)似乎有可能以一种有趣的方式提供促进体育活动(PA)的机会。本文旨在研究三种不同的基于虚拟现实的运动自行车对年轻人血压(BP)和感觉的急性影响,并与传统的运动自行车进行比较。36名年轻人完成了4个锻炼项目(沉浸式VR骑行、2个非沉浸式VR骑行和传统骑行)。法师= 23.6年)。在每次训练前后立即使用血压袖带测量血压,并在每次训练后立即通过既定的调查评估运动引起的感觉。在重复测量的ANCOVA中,参与者先前的VR经验被用作协变量。两组患者的收缩压[F (2,29) = 3.04, p = 0.02, η2= 0.38]和感觉[F (3,32) = 7.74, p < 0.01, η2= 0.42]均有显著的主要影响。特别是,与两个非沉浸式VR会话相比,沉浸式VR和传统自行车显着增加了收缩压。此外,与两个非沉浸式VR会话相比,沉浸式VR显著增加了感受,而这两个非沉浸式VR练习与传统骑车相比,分别显著增加了感受。研究结果表明,与非沉浸式VR骑行相比,沉浸式VR骑行可能会导致更高的运动强度。此外,与非沉浸式VR和传统骑行相比,沉浸式VR骑行产生了更高的感受。因此,沉浸式vr运动对于年轻人来说是一种有趣且积极的健康促进工具。

How does psychological distress evolve over time? This study utilizes cross-sectional data from the China General Social Survey from 2010 to 2017 to explore the differences in psychological distress among Chinese residents at various ages, periods, and cohorts. The dummy variable method and random effects hierarchical age-period-cohort model were employed to isolate the age, period, and cohort effects that impacted the psychological distress of Chinese urban residents. First, in terms of the age effect, the psychological distress experienced by residents tends to increase initially and then decrease with age. Middle-aged individuals, around 40 years old, often face a particularly severe form of psychological distress known as the “midlife crisis.” Additionally, middle-aged people who have larger families may experience more significant psychological distress due to increased family burdens. Second, in terms of the period effect, the psychological distress experienced by residents has been on the rise due to the continued development of society. Those who are at a disadvantage in market competition and work longer hours may be particularly vulnerable to increased psychological distress. Thirdly, the cohort effect refers to the different social behaviors and attitudes exhibited by individuals of different generations. In terms of this effect, psychological distress initially decreased and then increased among those born between 1945 and 1990. Individuals born in the 1980s and 1990s experienced higher levels of psychological distress, with internet use having a greater negative impact. Additionally, the positive effect of income on their psychological distress was reduced. The psychological distress of Chinese urban residents is affected by a variety of time-related factors, which are closely related to Chinese clan culture, market competition and social changes. The heavy family burden imposed by traditional clan culture, the different working conditions created by market competition, and the emergence of new lifestyles, such as internet use during social changes, have led to diverse psychological distress experiences among residents across different ages, time periods, and cohorts. In the future, longitudinal studies are needed to strengthen the robustness of the conclusions and consider the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health support should pay specific attention to the psychological distress of middle-aged individuals, long-time workers, and internet users.

Background: Components of Self, completed with the perceived social support determine the individual differences in the evaluation of a stressor and the behavioral responses toward it, such as health-related anxiety. The study set as a goal the analysis of associations between the components of Self, such as self-evaluation, sense of coherence, perceived social support, and reported health-related anxiety in an adult sample. Methods: 147 adults from the 18–73 age group (mean age 37.5) voluntarily completed the questionnaire through Qualtrics online platform containing the Short Health Anxiety Inventory, Core Self-Evaluation Scale, Social Support Assessing Scale, and one Health Self-Evaluation Item. Results: ANOVA found relevant differences in total scores and subscales’ scores of the health anxiety scale depending on the positive self-evaluation. Linear regression shows that the analyzed variables were responsible for the prediction of a higher value on the “Perceived probability of becoming ill” subscale in a proportion of 45.6% and for the “Perceived consequence of illness” subscale in a proportion of 20.2% The predictive value of the linear regression model for the total score on the health anxiety scale was 46.3%. Our findings show that negative Core Self-Evaluation is linked with perceived health anxiety. Conclusions: Self-evaluation, sense of coherence and perceived social support influence the perceived health and can explain the differences in the reported health-related anxiety.
