Although system justification-believing that the societal status quo is legitimate and desirable-is positively associated with subjective well-being and mental health outcomes for members of advantaged groups, the picture is more complicated for members of disadvantaged minority groups. According to system justification theory, believing that the social system is legitimate and desirable is a way of coping with one's own and fellow in-group members' state of disadvantage. At the same time, it is also a potential stressor, insofar as it implies that there are deficiencies of the individuals and groups who "fail" to succeed in a fair system. In this article, we quantitatively summarize the results of 34 articles (and 65 effect sizes) identified through computerized searches of scientific databases. Meta-analytic results revealed that system justification among members of disadvantaged minority groups was associated with lower levels of psychological distress (r = -0.131, k = 22, N = 25,506) and higher levels of subjective well-being (r = 0.190, k = 31, N = 172,075) and self-esteem (r = 0.106, k = 12, N = 4,839). These findings are consistent with the notion that, in general, system justification serves the palliative function of reducing distress and improving subjective well-being, most likely by increasing perceptions of personal control and individual mobility and decreasing perceptions of discrimination. At the same time, system justification can come at the expense of mental health when associated with the internalization of inferiority. Suggestions for future research are provided.
尽管制度正当性——相信社会现状是合理的和可取的——与优势群体成员的主观幸福感和心理健康结果呈正相关,但弱势少数群体成员的情况更为复杂。根据制度正当化理论,相信社会制度是合法的、可取的,是一种应对自身和群体内成员劣势状态的方式。与此同时,它也是一个潜在的压力源,因为它意味着在公平制度中“失败”的个人和群体存在缺陷。在这篇文章中,我们定量地总结了34篇文章(65个效应值)的结果,这些结果是通过计算机检索科学数据库确定的。meta分析结果显示,弱势少数群体成员的制度合理化与较低的心理困扰水平(r = -0.131, k = 22, N = 25,506)、较高的主观幸福感(r = 0.190, k = 31, N = 172,075)和自尊水平(r = 0.106, k = 12, N = 4,839)相关。这些发现与这样一种观点是一致的,即总的来说,制度辩护具有减轻痛苦和改善主观幸福感的缓和功能,最有可能的是通过增加个人控制和个人流动性的感知,以及减少歧视的感知。与此同时,当与自卑感内化联系在一起时,制度正当性可能以牺牲心理健康为代价。最后对今后的研究提出了建议。

As developers and practitioners translate parenting interventions from research to practice, significant heterogeneity in provider fidelity and parent engagement with the program has contributed to observed declines in intervention effectiveness. Despite this, empirical investigations of the relationship between provider fidelity, parent engagement, and intervention outcomes are scarce and those that exist show discrepant outcomes. This is, in part, due to the variability in the way fidelity is defined, operationalized, and measured. Therefore, following PRISMA-P guidelines, this review elucidates the relationship between provider fidelity, parent engagement, and intervention outcomes in parenting interventions, with a particular emphasis on how provider fidelity is defined and measured. A systematic search revealed 264 articles, of which 25 met inclusion criteria. As anticipated, results suggest that there are inconsistencies in the relationship between provider fidelity, parent engagement, and intervention outcomes, and these inconsistencies appear related to how fidelity is defined. Across studies, definitions of fidelity were related to one or more dimensions, including adherence, competence/quality, and knowledge, with those measures that captured all three dimensions demonstrating the most consistency in the relation between fidelity and intervention outcomes. Although methodological limitations exist, increased precision in fidelity measurement will have positive implications for the widespread implementation of parenting programs.

Veterans with histories of criminal-legal system involvement are considered high-priority within Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and criminal-legal settings. Over several decades, a large literature has accumulated to study these Veterans' needs. To consolidate findings, this meta-analysis provides aggregated prevalence estimates of common mental health conditions, substance use disorders, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and experiences of homelessness among Veterans with current or prior involvement with the United States criminal-legal system. A total of 79 samples encompassing over 1.2 million Veterans were analyzed. Results estimate 8 in 10 Veterans with criminal-legal involvement experience a mental health condition, 7 in 10 a substance use disorder, 1 in 10 a history of suicidal ideation, and 4 in 10 a history of homelessness. Veterans with current (versus prior) criminal-legal involvement had higher rates of alcohol use, drug use, and current homelessness. Samples consisting of Veterans with a history of incarceration and samples collected in non-VHA settings tended to have lower rates of psychosocial difficulty relative to samples consisting of Veterans with other forms of criminal-legal involvement or collected in VHA settings, respectively. Remaining gaps in the literature include research on criminal-legal involved Veterans under community supervision, and/or from demographic minority groups.

Concerns persist about the potential negative impact of asking young people about their trauma experiences in a research context. Previous research on this ethical issue has focused on adult populations, and the limited evidence for young people has limitations. This systematic review synthesised empirical evidence of young people's reactions to trauma-focused research, and associated participant and study characteristics. Eligible studies included young people aged up to 18 years in any setting who were systematically asked about their response to participating in trauma-focused research. Seventeen studies were identified, containing a total of 40,660 participants. Risk of bias was assessed using a bespoke quality assessment tool. Findings revealed higher benefits than costs, suggesting generally positive appraisals of trauma-focused research for young people. Those with a trauma history or symptoms were more vulnerable to costs. Age and gender did not appear to influence costs, but it was unclear how these factors impacted benefits. These findings suggest that young people can safely be asked about their trauma experiences and its impact, but that consideration of trauma history and symptoms is needed. Routinely asking should become part of ethical research design and would contribute to a richer evidence base.

Public health definitions of gambling-related harm include risks to family members and friends. This scoping review broadly aims to identify recent research on addressing gambling harm to adult affected others, focusing on prevalence, socio-demographic profiles, gambling profiles, and harm (Part I); and coping strategies, assessment, and treatment (Part II). A systematic search of electronic databases identified 121 studies published from 2000, with 82 focusing on coping strategies (22.3 %), assessment (21.5 %), and treatment (39.7 %). Findings revealed affected others employ various coping strategies, which can be gambler- or family-focussed, before accessing other forms of support. Common strategies include financial strategies and informal support but few studies have assessed their effectiveness. Few brief fit-for-purpose instruments with adequate psychometric evaluation are available to assess affected other status, harm, coping, social support, and help-seeking. Affected others are under-represented in treatment (8 % in general practices, 15 %–26 % in online gambling services, 30 %–43 % in gambling helplines), largely due to various barriers, including a lack of service awareness and shame. Low-intensity internet-delivered interventions show promise and can reach affected others who would not otherwise receive professional help. Other affected other interventions, which can be gambler- and/or family-focused, demonstrate good acceptability but somewhat limited efficacy, while couple interventions demonstrate some promising outcomes, although more rigorous evaluations are needed. The diverse treatment needs and preferences of affected others, coupled with the relatively limited efficacy of current treatments, highlight the need for the development of tailored interventions. The findings of this review can be used to inform clinical, research, and policy decision-making.

Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal events that come to mind with no preceding retrieval attempts. They have been studied broadly in autobiographical memory for decades and shown to be common and mostly positive in everyday life. Clinical literature has focused on negative intrusive memories of stressful events and tended to neglect other forms of involuntary autobiographical memories. However, recently, there has been an upsurge of research addressing involuntary memories more broadly in clinical disorders, including both stressful and mundane memories, and both real life events and simulated events. We here provide the first integrated and comprehensive review of all studied types of involuntary memories in clinical and subclinical populations. We review their frequencies and characteristics across a broad selection of memory properties. A systematic search of the PsycInfo, PubMed, and Web of Science databases yielded 79 empirical studies, with the majority focusing on depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychosis, and a few addressing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, health anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and social anxiety.

Previous studies have indicated wide variation in the effectiveness of cognitive and behaviour therapies (CBTs) for preventing and treating anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, indicating the presence of moderators influencing outcomes. This meta-analysis investigated whether sample characteristics (child age, child baseline anxiety levels, parental baseline anxiety levels) and intervention characteristics (intervention duration, facilitator contact time, facilitator background, delivery formats, parental involvement) moderate the effectiveness of CBTs for universal prevention, targeted prevention, and treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. We identified 86 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effectiveness of 98 CBTs versus non-active controls. Effect sizes were the post-intervention standardized mean difference of children's broad anxiety symptoms between CBT and non-active controls. Moderation analyses were conducted separately on child- and parent-reported outcomes using meta-regression and subgroup analyses. We found some evidence for (1) a moderating role of child age, facilitator background, and parental involvement on the effectiveness of CBTs for universal prevention; (2) a moderating role of child age and intervention duration on the effectiveness of CBTs for targeted prevention; (3) a moderating role of child age, facilitator contact time, and delivery formats on the effectiveness of CBTs for treatment. There was no evidence for a moderating role of child baseline anxiety levels on the effectiveness of CBTs for universal/targeted prevention or treatment. The moderating role of parental baseline anxiety levels and its potential interaction with parental involvement was not tested given the limited available data. Although these findings provide insights into the question of what works for whom, they should be interpreted cautiously given the limited available data, wide variation in outcomes, potential confounders, and discrepancies between child- and parent-reported outcomes.

This article presents a metamorphic model to describe the manifold role of narrative identity, a person's internal life story, across the course of mental illness and personal recovery. First, early adversity and negative co-authoring may contribute to the development of a fragile life story, which itself may combine with life stressors to increase the likelihood of mental illness. Second, mental illness may negatively impact the development of narrative identity, which in turn may exacerbate the devastating effects of mental illness on daily functioning. Finally, positive changes in narrative identity, as they are influenced by recovery stories of peers and the supportive co-authorship provided by mental health professionals, may contribute in powerful ways to the process of personal recovery. In sum, the metamorphic model demonstrates how narrative identity, as it is implicated in a variety of social spheres, shapes and is shaped by the course of mental illness and recovery. We also show how the model differs from other personality-oriented theories of psychopathology and how it may guide future research and interventions.

Prognostic awareness (PA) has an important role in promoting informed care planning in cancer patients. However, studies in the literature showed discordant results regarding the impact of PA on psychological and quality of life outcomes. The present systematic review aimed to investigate the associations between PA with anxiety, depression, and quality of life in oncological patients according to early, advanced, and terminal cancer stages. The review adhered to PRISMA guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO. The research identified 42.357 studies, of which 54 were included. The main result showed that the associations of PA with anxiety, depression, and quality of life varied according to the cancer stage. In studies with early and advanced cancer patients, 0 % and 9 %, respectively, showed favourable associations, while in those with terminal cancer patients, 53 % showed favourable associations. In terminal stage cancer, the associations were favourable when patients were enrolled in hospice, had a mean survival time shorter than 60 days, and a mean age older than 65 years. These findings suggest that it could be important within psychological interventions for patients to consider the impact of PA at different stages of cancer. While in the early and advanced stages of cancer, patients might benefit most from interventions focused on implementing psychological resources to face the illness and maintaining a hopeful outlook, in the terminal stage of cancer, it could be important to promote the process of becoming aware of their prognosis.

For people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the concept of being ‘ready’ for trauma-focused therapy (TFT) has emerged from research as an important factor in initiation and completion of therapy. Lack of readiness of individual service users has been proposed as a reason for poor uptake of TFT in large implementation programs. However, there has been almost no investigation of what constitutes readiness for TFT. In this review we build a conceptual case for readiness for TFT. We use qualitative research exploring PTSD treatment service users' and providers' experiences and perspectives of care together with two motivational theories (self-determination theory and motivation to engage in treatment) to propose a model of readiness for TFT. Readiness appears to encompass a) a motivational factor that includes willingness to undertake TFT and b) a set of determinants of motivation that may include the emotional burden of TFT, perceived suitability of TFT rationale; outcome expectancy; level of suffering; perceived competence; therapeutic relationship; autonomy; social supports; stigma; and problem recognition. This review is designed to encourage further research into this important clinical construct. It offers a new perspective on the need for a preparation phase before exposure in TFT, an issue of debate in the field.
