Objective
Rapid weight loss (RWL) has been traditionally practiced in judo. While the effects of it on performance and health have been extensively studied, less attention is dedicated to psychological ramifications of RWL. We sought to investigate the effects of RWL on mood states in judo athletes.
Method
PubMed and Web of Science were systematically searched for the relevant literature. Only original studies investigating the magnitude of RWL in judo athletes while jointly using Profile of Mood States questionnaire were eligible.
Results
Six studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Studies varied vastly in their design (time allocated to RWL and the degree of RWL), but the common trait in virtually all studies was a significant increase in tension and significant drop in vigor following RWL. It appears that when ≥ 5% RWL per week is prompted, mood states greatly exacerbate in judo athletes.
Conclusion
Overall, data showed that mood states in judo athletes are aggravated after ≥ 5% RWL with no significant difference between males and females. Future studies should explore the long-term effects of weight cycling on the mental health of judo athletes and other athletes participating in weight-classified sports.

Introduction
The current study assessed the effectiveness of the main components of the targeted prevention (TP) intervention of a multilevel prevention program for depression and anxiety in college students.
Objective
The TP intervention includes ten ninety-minute workshops for groups of five to ten students who reported significant anxious or depressive symptoms during an initial universal prevention (UP) intervention.
Method
Participants were 307 students, aged 16 to 30. Measures of intrapersonal risk and resiliency factors, including cognitive distortions, mindfulness principles and practice, managing anxiety, mental illness literacy, and the development of personal goals and values were collected. Latent growth models provided strong support for the effectiveness of the intervention, with a greater reduction in depressive symptoms in the experimental group than the comparison group.
Results
Although the model was not significant for anxious symptoms, a significant finding in the experimental individual model indicated a sizeable reduction in anxious symptoms from Time 1 to Time 3. Examination of the program determinants revealed significant changes in those that participated in the program compared to the comparison group that did not.
Conclusion
The beneficial effects of the implementation of multilevel prevention programs in college students and the study limitations are discussed.

Introduction
The PANAS scale is the most widely used instrument to measure positive and negative affects.
Objective
The abbreviated scale “Brief Positive and Negative Affect Schedule” (B-PANAS; 10 items) is developed in comparison with the short versions PANAS-SF (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short-Form; Kercher, 1992) and the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short-Form (I-PANAS-SF; Thompson, 2007).
Method
Three studies carried out on 1047 adults (sample 1 = 201 students, sample 2 = 319 working people, sample 3 = 527 adults) led to the development of the B-PANAS as well as the comparison of the factor structure, internal consistency and the validity of the three short scales.
Results
The B-PANAS scale demonstrates robust psychometric properties, unlike the other short versions. The bidimensional structure of the B-PANAS scale is replicated in the three studies and is invariant across age and sex. Internal consistency is supported by all reliability indicators. The nomological network is equivalent to that of the PANAS scale in terms of correlations with instruments representing indicators of cognitive evaluation such as the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), the Life Orientation Test-Revised (Scheier et al., 1994) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985).
Conclusion
This research provides a valid scale intended to briefly measure Positive Affects and Negative Affects in French.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common monogenic disease, and is characterised by extreme pain episodes. Despite available efficacious treatments, adherence rates are low leading to high hospitalisation rate.
Objective
Explore the relationship between hydroxyurea adherence among adults with SDC and illness perceptions.
Method
We performed a cross-sectional study among 211 adults with SCD and assessed illness perception, their adherence and their cognitions about their treatment.
Results
The adherence rate was very low, and patients reported misconceptions regarding SCD. The factor analysis of the illness perception dimensions revealed a two-factor model, accounting for 66.5% of the total variance. Based on the factor analysis, three clusters of participants were identified corresponding to three types of perceptions of SCD and different levels of adherence.
Conclusion
The combination of a low capacity to adapt to their illness (factor 1) with a strong negative experience of their health condition (factor 2) seems negatively link to the therapeutic adherence of adults with SCD.

Introduction
Aggressive behaviour on the road is still one of the most studied constructs within human factor due to its strong relationship with crash-related events.
Objective
The aim of the current research was to analyse the relationship among vital stress, emotion dysregulation, and aggressive behaviour in this specific context.
Method
A sample composed of 410 Spanish drivers (62.8% female, Mage = 36.12, SDage = 12.99) taken from the general population was tested.
Results
The results showed positive and significant bivariate correlations among almost all of the variables. The multiple mediation model showed a partial mediation effect of emotion dysregulation, with a significant effect on the whole model, and more specifically, on both the lack of control and life interference.
Conclusion
The relevance of developing clinical interventions to improve emotion regulation abilities in aggressive drivers is discussed.

Background
The worldwide interest in the instructional leadership behaviors of school administrators has led to the prevalent use of the concept in domestic research. The increasing number of domestic research on instructional leadership research is a challenge but also an opportunity for the fields of educational leadership and management.
Objective
This study aimed to develop and validate the “Instructional Leadership Behaviors Scale” (ILBS) to describe the instructional leadership behaviors of school administrators in Turkey.
Methods
The data were collected online from 1100 teachers working in public schools in Turkey for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and reliability analyses.
Results
The analyses showed that ILBS comprised 28 items and two factors: “instructional management” and “professional development.” The ILBS was a valid and reliable instrument developed according to teachers’ opinions.
Conclusion
It is expected that ILBS would be a reliable instrument sensitive to the domestic and legal aspects of “instructional management” and “professional development” in the instructional leadership behaviors of school administrators in Turkey.

Children living with a mentally ill parent are a vulnerable group in the population, at higher risk of various psychosocial and mental health problems. They are also over-represented in youth mental health and child protective services. Adult mental health services that treat parents have an opportunity to identify and support children in these families.
Objectives
This study determines the structure and reliability of an adapted French version of the Family-Focused Mental Health Practice Questionnaire (FFMHPQ), that has been validated to assess the use of family-focused practices (FFP) by professionals offering services to adults with mental illnesses.
Methods
In total, 512 French-speaking adult mental health workers from all regions of Quebec, Canada, completed the French version of the FFMHPQ. Participants were mostly women (87.1%), with a mean age of 40.3 years, and an average of 8.70 years of experience in their current job. The sample included professionals from a variety of disciplines, including social work, nursing, psychology, psycho-education, special education, medicine, and occupational therapy. The FFMHPQ-FR was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and other psychometric properties.
Results
Exploratory factor analysis revealed 5 factors: family-focused practices; workplace support, professionals’ perceived skills, knowledge and confidence; professionals’ openness to improving their practice, and professionals’ attitudes and beliefs toward FFP. The Cronbach's alphas of the first four factors qualified as high reliability (α = .85; α = .87; α = .89; α = .82), and the fifth factor indicated moderate reliability (α = .61). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all single-factor models presented good fit indices (RMSEA < .08, SRMR < .08, CFI > .90 and CMIN/DF < 3) and loadings. Results of the full five-factor model presented good fit on all indices, except for the CFI.
Conclusion
The findings suggest that the French version of the FFMHPQ is reliable and can be used to estimate the scope of FFP in mental health services, and to inform stakeholders about possible enablers and barriers to FFP among professionals, making it a highly relevant tool for improving professional practices in mental health services.

Introduction
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by reading difficulties that still generate teasing from peers in the classroom. Children's literature depicting characters with dyslexia may facilitate the understanding of this disorder, and thus promote the successful inclusion of concerned students in school.
Objective
The present study aims to analyze for the first time the image of dyslexia conveyed by French-language children's literature.
Method
A content analysis in light of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 was performed in 24 French-language books for children aged 3 to 12 years, in which one of the heroes has dyslexia.
Results
French-language children's books accurately describe dyslexia and the disorders and difficulties that may be associated with it. In addition, unlike the message conveyed by English-language books, the student-hero concerned is not held responsible for his or her disorder.
Conclusion
These books help to inform students about the impact of dyslexia on the lives of those affected. Their use could be considered in the framework of awareness-raising program in order to promote the school inclusion of students with dyslexia.

Mindfulness is defined as a state of awareness which arises when intentionally directing one's attention in a non-judgmental way to the present moment. It has been shown to lead to greater mental health.
Objective
The aim of this study was to document the long-term effects of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on mental health. Method. It comprised a longitudinal and a cross-sectional part. The longitudinal part was based on follow-up measures of MBSR participants (n = 126) who had completed questionnaires measuring levels of mindfulness and anxiety before the program (Time 1), directly after (Time 2), and were contacted more than two years after to complete complementary measures (Time 3). The cross-sectional part was based on a comparison between the former MBSR participants’ levels of mindfulness, cognitive fusion, anxiety and well-being and a control group who had not followed an MBSR program (n = 172).
Results
The results underlined significant long-term benefits on levels of mindfulness and anxiety in MBSR participants. The level of mindfulness and the current number of days of mindfulness practice per week predicted lower levels of anxiety among former MBSR participants. Furthermore, cognitive fusion, number of days of mindfulness practice per week, and current daily practice time predicted levels of well-being among former MBSR participants. The comparison between former MBSR participants and controls showed significant differences in terms of levels of mindfulness, anxiety, well-being, and cognitive fusion.
Conclusion
The results underline the potential of MBSR programs to increase mental health levels and protection factors sustainably.

Introduction
A cross-level comparison of the Challenge-Hindrance Model of Stress (CHM) provides important theoretical insights into the preciseness of the model and the boundary conditions guiding it. Furthermore, knowing whether all individuals share the same within-person relationships (i.e., general law) provides further important insight into the accuracy of the CHM.
Objective
We thus examined whether results from the between- and within-person level are conceptually similar and converge, by testing homology across levels in significance, sign, and magnitude, and whether all individuals were characterized by the same within-person relationship referred to as a general law. Drawing from instrumentality theory, we also examined the role of goal value, goal expectancy, and goal attainment to explain the relationship between stress appraisals and on-task effort.
Method
In a diary study, we collected data from 108 students over 14 consecutive days while preparing for an exam (n = 1420 observations).
Results
A multilevel structural equation model revealed that homology was present only in less than 50% of the relationships examined, limiting the generalizability of the CHM. In addition, we found no general law for any of the associations, suggesting that students possibly are not characterized by the same relationship, further limiting the predictions of the CHM.
Conclusion
We conclude that the population-level results of the CHM might not apply to specific individuals and consideration should be given to refining the model.
