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.

Introduction
The functional approach of depression states that depressed people try to avoid or escape from situations, objects or persons which are perceived as threatening, and that avoidance maintains and perpetuates depression. The Cognitive-Behavioral Avoidance Scale (CBAS), first developed in English, has proved to be a useful instrument to understand the association between depression and avoidance.
Objective
The study (n = 493) examined the psychometric properties of its Portuguese version (CBAS-PT).
Method and results
A confirmatory factor analysis supported the original four-factor structure and found that CBAS-PT displayed good convergent and divergent validities.
Conclusion
Globally, results indicated that CBAS-PT is a reliable instrument to study depression and its association with avoidance in a Portuguese speaking population.

Facebook is used for work, entertainment, and communication. However, there is potential for problematic or addictive use that can cause significant mental and physical health problems.
Objective
The Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire (FIQ; Elphinston & Noller, 2011) is one of the most widely used measures of problematic Facebook use, but no previous study has validated this measure in a Polish population. The present study aimed to validate the Polish adaptation of the FIQ.
Method
The authors recruited five large samples of Polish Facebook users (n = 12,753; Mage = 21 years; 66% female) to examine the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported its unidimensional factor structure (χ2(df=19) = 602.64, p < .001; RMSEA = .069, SRMR = .032, CFI = .962, TLI = .943).
Results
Item response theory showed that the adapted FIQ items had adequate discrimination and information levels. The Polish version of the FIQ showed good internal consistency and adequate construct validity.
Conclusion
Overall, the results suggest that the FIQ is a reliable and valid measure for use with a Polish population.

The aim of this paper is to present the process of developing and validating the Polish version of the Identity Distress Survey (IDS-PL).
Method
First, the back-translation method was adopted to develop the IDS-PL. Second, four studies were conducted with a total of 738 people (67.1% female; all Caucasian) aged 17 to 27 (M = 21.90, SD = 2.23) to: 1) investigate the internal structure (confirmatory factor analyses); 2) verify the reliability (internal and test–retest); and 3) establish the criterion validity of the IDS-PL.
Results
CFA allowed us to choose the best approach to calculating IDS-PL scores and revealed that data from the Polish sample are well fitted to the internal structure of the IDS. The internal and test-retest reliability of the IDS-PL was confirmed to be acceptable. Finally, the criterion validity of the IDS-PL was established by findings indicating that stronger identity distress was related to lower self-esteem, a lower presence of meaning in life, stronger anxiety and depressiveness, and higher ruminative exploration.
Discussion
Taken together, the IDS-PL may be considered a reliable measure of identity distress that can be used in studies concerning identity development in young people.

Background
Emotion regulation (ER) has become the target of multiple clinical interventions, given its transdiagnostic features. The goal of this study was to validate a French version of the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ, Berking & Znoj, 2008), which provides an overview of the ER skills described in the Adaptive Coping with Emotions model.
Method
This online study was comprised of different questionnaires designed to analyse the psychometric properties of the ERSQ in both French and Canadian non-clinical populations (n = 658).
Results
The nine subscales based on the nine factors show a satisfactory internal consistency. The scale also demonstrates good convergent validity and acceptable test-retest validity. The proposed nine-factor model shows an adequate fit to the data, with all approximate fit indices showing acceptable model fit.
Limitation
This online study can be associated with common limits of self-reported measures. Moreover, our results should be replicated in future studies, for example in clinical samples, to validate its discriminant capacity.
Conclusions
The French version of the ERSQ can be considered as a reliable instrument for assessing ER skills. Contrary to other related questionnaires, the ERSQ measures multiple dimensions considered as possible targets of psychological interventions.
背景情绪调节(ER)具有跨诊断的特点,因此已成为多种临床干预措施的目标。本研究的目的是验证情绪调节技能问卷(ERSQ,Berking & Znoj,2008 年)的法文版,该问卷概述了情绪适应性应对模型中描述的情绪调节技能。方法本在线研究由不同的问卷组成,旨在分析情绪调节技能问卷在法国和加拿大非临床人群(n = 658)中的心理测量特性。该量表还显示出良好的收敛效度和可接受的测试-再测试效度。提出的九因素模型与数据充分拟合,所有近似拟合指数均显示模型拟合度可以接受。此外,我们的研究结果还应在今后的研究中进行复制,例如在临床样本中进行复制,以验证其判别能力。结论法文版 ERSQ 可被视为评估 ER 技能的可靠工具。与其他相关问卷不同的是,ERSQ测量的多个维度都被认为是心理干预的可能目标。

Introduction
The Physical Self Inventory-NeuroMuscular Diseases (PSI-NMD) is a scale which evaluates overall self-esteem and physical esteem in patients with neuromuscular disease. It comes from the Physical Self Inventory-10 item (PSI-10), which comes from the Physical Self Inventory -25 items, a validated questionnaire for French population.
Objective
The purpose of this study is to present the first step of the validation of this scale in patients with neuromuscular diseases. This scale assesses the overall self-esteem as well as the self-esteem in physical field.
Method
In all, 108 patients with myopathy or neuropathy and 129 individuals from the general population answered to the ISP-10 and the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale.
Results
Exploratory factorial analysis showed the weakness of two items, which have been deleted. In addition, results indicated good indices of internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity.
Conclusion
The results showed satisfactory psychometric qualities of the PSI-NMD (Physical Self Inventory-Neuromuscular disease). This scale assessing global and physical self-esteem, is quick and simple to answer, and will be useful to clinicians as well as researchers.

Introduction
The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire has evolved as one of the most extensively used, translated, and validated scales for the assessment of fear of childbirth.
Objective
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the translated versions of the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire.
Method
We employed a systematic search of online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct, looking for articles published between 1998 and 2021. We used PRISMA guidelines for conducting and reporting this review, and the quality of the psychometric properties of the retrieved studies was assessed using the COSMIN checklist.
Results
Of the 825 records initially identified, 18 studies were included. The examination of these studies showed that the scale exists in at least 17 different languages, and it's quite possible that the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire is not a unidimensional scale since the factor analysis of the included studies suggested the existence of subscales. Regarding the methodological quality of the structural validity and the construct validity, the majority of studies were considered to be very good or adequate. Internal consistency was reported in all studies. Test-retest reliability was reported in five studies.
Conclusion
The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire's psychometrics were generally of an acceptable level of methodological quality in most of the studies. More research is needed on the examination and validation of both versions of the scale.

Introduction
This study investigates the role of self-variables and locus of control in determining job-related affective well-being.
Objective
It especially focuses on the moderating role of Organizational Based Self-Esteem (OBSE), work self-efficacy, and Work Locus of Control (WLOC) in relation to procedural justice and positive/negative emotions in the banking industry.
Method
Carried out in Istanbul, Turkey with participants from three banking institutions from private sector (n = 190), responded to a questionnaire consisting of five sections (Scales for procedural justice, organization-based self-esteem, work locus of control and organizational commitment, plus demographic descriptive of the participants).
Results
Results of this research indicate the buffering effect of OBSE, work self-efficacy and WLOC on the interlinkages between negative emotions and procedural justice, but the moderating role of these variables is not confirmed for the relationship between procedural justice and positive emotions.
Conclusion
Among the key findings of our study, the paper shows that the OBSE and work self-efficacy buffer to negative emotions in the case of low procedural justice, and the external locus of control provokes negative emotions in the case of low procedural justice.
