Abstract Online games are becoming increasingly popular, but a corresponding problem has emerged: Internet gaming disorder (IGD). IGD refers to problematic game use, where gaming results in problems with cognition and emotional regulation. Abdominal breathing (AB) is one method of psychophysiological reaction regulation. However, few studies have explored the effect of AB on gamers with IGD. In this study, we investigated the effects of short-term AB training (10 min) on the heart rate variability (HRV) of college students with IGD as they watched positive and negative online gaming videos. In total, 21 and 19 participants with low-risk IGD and high-risk IGD (HIGD), respectively, were included in the analysis. The results revealed that AB training was associated with increases in the natural logarithms of the total power and low-frequency HRV of the HIGD group during both video stimuli (p < .01). The difference in the natural logarithm of total power and low-frequency HRV between before and after AB was a predictor of IGD risk (area under the curve = 0.63 and 0.64, respectively). We find that short-term AB affects the HRV responses of college students with HIGD during game-related stimuli, particularly for negative games. These findings highlight the potential benefits of adding AB training to psychotherapies to improve the psychophysiological regulation of college students with IGD. Further studies should investigate the effect of long-term AB on the psychophysiological responses of those with IGD during gameplay.

Abstract Wisdom can be understood as a complex capacity to solve unsolvable problems. Wise persons are better in coping with difficult life situations. People with mental disorders often have problems coping with difficult life situations. This study examines whether a convenience sample from the general population and psychosomatic rehabilitation patients (dis)agree similarly or differently with global sentences representing wisdom-related attitudes. A total of 209 persons from a convenience sample (lecture visitors, M = 32 years of age) and 207 patients with mental disorders (M = 49 years of age) were given a short case vignette of a seemingly unjust situation. They were then asked to which degree they agree to different wisdom-related attitudes (12-WD Scale) regarding the example situation. Results: Patients judged the situation as more unjust, and they identified more strongly with the victim. There were no differences between the two groups concerning agreement to the wisdom ideas, except that the convenience sample was more likely to agree with the wisdom idea change of perspective. This finding of similar wisdom attitudes in patients and others is a validity support for wisdom being a capacity, which may be independent from psychopathology. Wisdom trainings for health promotion potentially do not need to distinguish between patients and general population persons. As the scale asks for wisdom-related attitudes for problem solving, it may be the case that coping with concrete situations (i.e. wise behavior) would be different.

Abstract Substantial research in symptom perception demonstrates symptoms are influenced by a wide range of psychological factors. However, there is limited understanding of the broader milieu of bodily states within which symptoms exist, including emotions, sensations and “pre-symptoms”. Furthermore, little is known about how bodily states are experienced and translated into symptoms. Semi-structured interviews with 12 participants explored how individuals experience, describe and understand their bodily states in addition to how bodily states are translated into symptoms and how this transition was experienced. Thematic Analysis described four main themes in relation to; i) “The qualia of bodily states”, individuals’ description and understanding of how bodily states “feel”; ii) “Attending to bodily states”, how attention to bodily states could differ between individuals and in certain contexts; iii) “Becoming symptoms”, understanding of normality and its deviations and finding meaning could play a role in transition of states to symptoms; iv)“Reifying symptoms”, how individuals communicated, verbally and non-verbally, abstract lived experience of bodily states to the self and others. A transcending theme, “A series of thresholds” encompassed how bodily states surpass a threshold to become a symptom and the involvement of individual differences such as attention, emotions, expectations and finding meaning. Symptoms may arise when a bodily state surpasses a series of thresholds which may be lowered or raised. There is a critical need to consolidate understanding of bodily states and symptoms within a research context and for greater appreciation of the nuanced, complex and varied nature of bodily states beyond “symptoms”.

Abstract Sexual minorities were surveyed about their experiences during the pandemic, and asked about symptoms of PTSD, minority stress, anxiety/depression, and substance use. We surveyed 392 sexual minorities who self-identified as substance users, including 70 of whom also identified as a gender minority. Participants completed questionnaires that included demographic questions, COVID-related PTSD symptoms [Post Traumatic Stress Checklist for the DSM-5 (PCL-5)], minority stress [Minority Stress Scale (MSS)], anxiety/depression [Patient Health Questionnaire − 4 (PHQ-4)], and substance use [adaption from the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)]. A serial mediation model was used and we found an indirect relationship between minority stress and substance use through anxiety/depression and COVID-related PTSD such that minority stress positively predicted anxiety/depression, which in turn predicted COVID-related PTSD; and then predicted substance use in sexual minorities. Sexual minorities experienced greater health disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sexual minorities high in minority stress experienced increased rates of psychiatric symptoms, making them more vulnerable to substance use. These results underscore the need for medical and mental health professionals to address the role of minority stress, and possible substance use and abuse as a method of dealing with psychiatric symptoms and stressors.

Abstract Stereotyping and discrimination against hijab-wearing women have been studied extensively in many Western countries, which are home to Muslim diasporas. However, there is a paucity of research on Muslim-majority countries. The purpose of this study is to address this gap and explore interpersonal attitudes toward both hijab-wearing and non-hijab-wearing women, in Pakistan, a Muslim Majority country. In this paper, we used the presence or absence of hijab as the independent variable, and measured competence and warmth using items from the Stereotype Content Model (SCM), as well as social and task attraction using items from the Interpersonal Attraction Scale (IAS) as dependent variables. Study 1 included 352 undergraduate students, while Study 2 involved 151 human resource professionals. The findings from both studies were consistent in suggesting that participants had a higher attribution of competence, warmth, and social and task attraction toward the hijab-wearing women compared to the non-hijab-wearing women. Conversely, participants in the non-hijab condition attributed lower levels of warmth, competence, and social and task attraction. We interpret these findings such that in a homogeneous society, individuals who strongly identify with and internalize Muslim culture, and exhibit a preference for their own cultural and religious values (cultural endogamy), attribute higher levels of competence, warmth, social attraction, and task attraction to the protagonist who wears hijab. This research has implications for employment opportunities and attitudes toward women in the workplace in Muslim-majority countries, both for hijabis (women who wear a headscarf) and non-hijabis (women who do not wear hijab).

Abstract Insect consumption provides a solution to the issue of decreasing food security. Despite these benefits, their acceptance by some consumers as a source of human food remains the main obstacle to their consumption. The present study focuses on three locations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (provinces of Kinshasa, Grand Bandundu and Kongo Central) in a context of food shortage. We examined the socio-demographics, socio-cognitive (Theory of Planned Behaviour, TPB), determinants of intentions and insect consumption, and the additional contribution of emotional associations in a sample of 537 participants (mean age = 34.88, SD = 12.39, 47% females). There was a higher consumption in Kinshasa (M = 4.58; SD = 1.62) and in Grand Bandundu (M = 4.36; SD = 1.54), as compared with Kongo Central (M = 2.29; SD = 1.45). Greater insect consumption was associated with a lower education level, when living in Kinshasa or Kongo central, when attitudes, perceived control and intentions to consume were higher, and when participants experienced lower levels of fear and repulsion towards insects. The results provide insights to better understand the determinants of low consumption in Kongo Central. They also suggest that most TPB dimensions could be potential targets for future interventions that aim to increase insect consumption.

This study investigates the effect of fear of COVID-19 on subjective well-being via the mediating role of perceived stress. The moderating role of awareness of COVID-19 on the mediation model is also tested. This study employed a longitudinal correlation design with a three-wave data collection technique. The data were collected using a snowballing sampling technique where participants were recruited through online advertisements. Finally, 345 responses were included in the analysis after dropping participants who did not fully complete the study and failed the attention check items. The measures included fear of COVID-19, perceived stress, subjective well-being and awareness of COVID-19 and were administered using an online survey platform. The results suggested that fear of COVID-19 adversely impacted subjective well-being while perceived stress partially mediated the relationship. Additionally, awareness of COVID-19 moderated the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and perceived stress. The effect of fear of COVID-19 on perceived stress was more positive for those who had high awareness of COVID-19, consequently lowering subjective well-being. This study is among a few studies investigating a mechanism that explains the effect of fear of COVID-19 on subjective well-being.

Abstract This paper reports on a study conducted in a primary school in Santiago, Chile, where a sample of 18 randomly selected first-grade students wore a mini video camera mounted on eyeglasses in their mathematics’ lessons. Using Google Images, we identified frames from the recordings where the classroom teacher appeared in the students’ visual field. The results show that low and high achieving students differed in paying visual attention in their mathematics lessons, particularly when the teachers’ discourse was accompanied by gestures. Furthermore, high and low achieving students were visually engaged with teachers’ instructional information in different ways, and at different times throughout the 90 minutes of the lesson. The findings of this study allow us to understand and explore whether students’ mathematical achievement might be explained by examining students’ visual attention in teacher-student interactions at the beginning of the year. The findings of this study have particular importance for the early identification of lower achievers in mathematics at an early stage, and hence allow us to plan effective interventions to support these students.

Abstract This study aims to gain insight into the development of parenthood six months after delivery of a preterm infant due to the mother’s preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome. In this qualitative interview study, we conducted individual interviews with the Working Model of the Child Interview to tap into the subjective experiences of parents who went through preterm delivery due to preeclampsia or HELLP. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. From February up to and including December 2017, parental couples were included of whom the mother had suffered from severe preeclampsia or HELLP, and whose child had been born at a gestational age of less than 32 weeks. Parents also filled out a depression, an anxiety and a bonding questionnaire. Five parental couples, five fathers and five mothers, were interviewed. Many statements made clear that these parents are undergoing a distinctive development. Fear of losing the baby was still central to all parents and they were afraid of being a parent or forming a loving bond. Importantly, both fathers and mothers described loss of control, recurring memories and catastrophic fears. Psychological support should help parents regulate the shock, process traumatic experiences and integrate the frightening life event into parenthood development. Therefore, proper monitoring of parenthood development is necessary to detect problems, intervene and prevent adverse consequences.

Fear of losing the baby was still central to all parents and they were afraid of being a parent or forming a loving bond. Importantly, both fathers and mothers described loss of control, recurring memories and catastrophic fears. Psychological support should help parents regulate the shock, process traumatic experiences and integrate the frightening life event into parenthood development. Therefore, proper monitoring of parenthood development is necessary to detect problems, intervene and prevent adverse consequences.","PeriodicalId":46323,"journal":{"name":"Cogent Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43521013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
