The severity and impact of pain can vary greatly, even in individuals with the same physical injury. This variation underscores the need for a variety of treatment strategies in effective pain management. Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology that has been used as a treatment in diverse pain populations and for diverse indications. In recent decades, many trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses have examined the impact of VR for pain management. While there is some evidence for efficacy in terms of distraction, pre-exposure, and physical therapy; populations, comparators and interventions differ significantly between existing meta-analyses. Thus, the present umbrella review was conducted to determine the overall strength of evidence for all identified populations, comparators, and interventions by synthesising available meta-analyses. Fifty-four meta-analyses reporting on the effect of immersive VR interventions in pain management were identified. Overall, VR interventions appeared efficacious for procedural pain conditions, where used for distraction, and when compared to standard care. While there was some evidence for efficacy in chronic pain populations, this only indicated short-term improvement in pain intensity. We also identified numerous areas for future research wherein the available results were inconclusive, such as examining long term interventions and outcomes for chronic pain populations, reporting of adverse events, and examining the efficacy of VR interventions designed for physical therapy, augmented cognitive therapies, or pre-exposure.

Individuals with ADHD may experience puberty differently from their peers, which has implications for their health and wellbeing. This scoping review characterised and summarised literature reporting quantitative analyses of puberty and ADHD. To identify studies, nine databases (MEDLINE Complete, Web of Science, Embase, PsycInfo, ERIC, CENTRAL, PsycExtra, WHO ICTRP, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses) were searched using key terms related to puberty/pubertal hormones and ADHD/ADHD traits. From 2795 initial records, 89 studies were eligible. Relevant analyses in included studies were categorised under five topics: 1) pubertal group comparisons between participants with ADHD and control participants; 2) associations between puberty and ADHD; 3) prevalence of ADHD in atypical puberty conditions; 4) ADHD medication effects on puberty; and 5) puberty and co-occurring psychological conditions. With some exceptions, summarised findings for each topic were generally inconsistent, indicating further well-planned primary studies are needed. A framework for future research is provided, recommending methodological improvements, including use of approaches that capture the complexities of puberty and ADHD, more inclusive sampling, and employing theories/models that recognise dynamics between puberty, psychological, social, and other biological factors. Additionally, it is recommended that research priorities in this area are identified in collaboration with key stakeholders, especially the ADHD community.

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) stands as a valuable method to capture real-time data on individuals' daily experiences and behaviors. In recent years, the utilization of EMA as a measurement method has substantially increased with the majority of studies emphasizing its clinical utility. However, a comprehensive overview of its use in psychotherapy research is lacking. This study addresses that gap by systematically reviewing EMA's application in psychotherapy research. In total, 168 studies met the inclusion criteria and were classified according to clinical utilization. Six areas of clinical EMA application were identified: prediction of therapy outcome (n = 8), prediction of psychopathology (n = 40), prediction of biopsychosocial states (n = 44), evaluation of therapy outcome (n = 21), acquisition of further clinical insights into specific disorders (n = 68) and adaptation of treatment processes (n = 18). Despite studies consistently highlighting EMA's potential in tailoring psychotherapeutic treatments, its limited use in this area warrants further research. Drawing from our findings, we discuss future research directions for the direct application of EMA in psychotherapeutic settings.
生态瞬间评估(EMA)是一种获取个人日常经验和行为实时数据的重要方法。近年来,EMA 作为一种测量方法的使用率大幅提高,大多数研究都强调了它的临床实用性。然而,关于其在心理治疗研究中的应用却缺乏全面的概述。本研究通过系统回顾 EMA 在心理治疗研究中的应用,填补了这一空白。共有 168 项研究符合纳入标准,并根据临床应用情况进行了分类。研究确定了 EMA 临床应用的六个领域:治疗结果预测(8 项)、心理病理学预测(40 项)、生物心理社会状态预测(44 项)、治疗结果评估(21 项)、获得对特定疾病的进一步临床见解(68 项)和治疗过程调整(18 项)。尽管不断有研究强调 EMA 在定制心理治疗方面的潜力,但其在这一领域的有限应用仍值得进一步研究。根据我们的研究结果,我们讨论了在心理治疗环境中直接应用 EMA 的未来研究方向。

Developmental trauma (DT), defined as abuse or neglect before age 18, is linked with elevated risk and poorer outcomes in psychosis. This systematic review aimed to elucidate the relationship between DT and dissociation in psychosis and discern the potential mediating role of dissociation in the link between DT and psychotic manifestations. Our study protocol was pre-registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022330026). We adopted broad criteria, including a variety of methodologies exploring dissociation post-DT in individuals exhibiting psychosis or psychotic features. Risk of bias was assessed for all included studies. Our review incorporated 40 studies, totalling 6941 participants. A significant moderate association was observed between DT and dissociation (r = 0.33 (95 %CI: 0.28–0.38)), underscored by dose-response effects. Sexual and emotional abuse demonstrated the most robust associations with dissociation. Individuals with psychosis and DT reported elevated dissociation relative to their non-traumatized counterparts. Dissociation mediated the link between DT and positive psychotic symptoms, notably hallucinations, across clinical and general populations. Five studies pinpointed dissociation's mediating role in tying DT to paranoia and delusional ideation. The review delves into clinical considerations, emphasizing screening for psychotic and dissociative symptoms in DT survivors, and outlining dissociation management strategies. Future research, employing longitudinal, qualitative, and experimental approaches, remains paramount.

Individuals with intersecting marginalized identities experience body image and eating pathology at disproportionately high rates. To date, research in this area has been limited by an absence of overarching and guiding frameworks to support hypothesis-driven research and interpretation of the findings. This constitutes an important barrier to the development of theoretically grounded intervention strategies. In this article, we review theoretical frameworks relevant to the investigation of body image and eating pathology among marginalized individuals using an intersectional lens and considering how processes of both risk and resilience unfold at multiple levels. We describe factors at the macrosystem (e.g., structural racism, capitalism, patriarchy), exosystem (e.g., food environment, social media, mass media), and microsystem (e.g., family, peers) levels. At the macrosystem level, we review critical race theories and those illuminating the role of systems that maintain power, privilege, and oppression, which describe how systemic discriminatory practices have led to marginalized individuals being neglected in efforts to conceptualize, identify, prevent, and treat body image and eating pathology. At the exosystem level, marginalized individuals experience heightened socioeconomic stressors and associated lack of access to resources that may impact body image and eating pathology. Furthermore, sociocultural theories focus on how visible marginalized identities are discriminated against, while white appearance ideals are upheld. At the micosystem level, we review sociocultural and minority stress theories that account for how interpersonal agents may perpetuate oppressive discourses and how marginalized individuals may experience negative interpersonal experiences that impact body image and eating pathology. We provide a comprehensive theoretical framework to guide future research on the distribution and determinants of inequities in body image and eating pathology among marginalized populations.

Background
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for the range of anxiety disorders as demonstrated in many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted over the past 30 years.
Objective
To examine the change of CBT effect sizes over time, we tested whether publication year was a significant moderator.
Data sources
We pooled studies from three previously published meta-analyses and searched three electronic databases (PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science) to identify any additional studies published from February 1, 2022 to January 24, 2025. The final analysis included 49 studies comprising a total of 3645 participants.
Study selection
We selected RCTs comparing CBT for anxiety disorders with psychological or pill control conditions.
Data extraction
Two independent raters used predefined data fields, including study quality indicators.
Data synthesis
The mean effect size of all RCTs comparing CBT vs. controls revealed a Hedges' g of 0.51, 95 % CI [0.40, 0.62], with significant differences in effect sizes between the diagnostic groups. Uncontrolled pre-post effect size calculations revealed a large effect for CBT, Hedges' g = 1.18, 95 % CI [1.01, 1.34], and a medium effect for the control conditions, Hedges' g = 0.59, 95 % CI [0.47, 0.70]. A linear meta-regression of publication year on effect sizes (Hedges g) showed no significant change in effect sizes as compared to the control conditions over the span of the last 30 years (B = −0.008, SE = 0.006, t(47) = −1.18, p = 0.24).
Conclusion
Although CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, the effect sizes did not increase over the last 3 decades. This calls for studies on the processes of treatment change to improve the efficacy of CBT.
认知行为疗法(CBT)是一种有效的治疗焦虑症的方法,在过去30年进行的许多随机对照试验(rct)中得到了证明。目的研究CBT效应量随时间的变化,检验出版年份是否为显著调节因子。数据来源我们汇集了三个先前发表的荟萃分析的研究,并检索了三个电子数据库(PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science),以确定2022年2月1日至2025年1月24日期间发表的任何其他研究。最终的分析包括49项研究,共有3645名参与者。研究选择:我们选择比较CBT治疗焦虑症与心理或药物控制条件的随机对照试验。数据提取两个独立的评分者使用预定义的数据字段,包括研究质量指标。所有比较CBT与对照组的随机对照试验的平均效应值显示,Hedges' g为0.51,95% CI[0.40, 0.62],诊断组之间的效应值存在显著差异。非受控的前后效应大小计算显示CBT的影响很大,Hedges' g = 1.18, 95% CI[1.01, 1.34],而对照条件的影响中等,Hedges' g = 0.59, 95% CI[0.47, 0.70]。对出版年份效应量的线性元回归(Hedges g)显示,与过去30年的对照条件相比,效应量没有显著变化(B = - 0.008, SE = 0.006, t(47) = - 1.18, p = 0.24)。结论虽然CBT是一种有效的治疗焦虑症的方法,但在过去的30年里,其效应量并没有增加。这就需要对治疗改变的过程进行研究,以提高CBT的疗效。

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。

Murphy and Hall (2024) present two criticisms of our review of construct validity evidence reporting practices for the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET; Higgins, Kaplan, Deschrijver, & Ross, 2024). Namely, they argue that we conflated poor reporting practices with poor validity and that our conclusions about the validity of RMET scores relied too heavily on structural validity evidence at the cost of external validity evidence. Moreover, they argue that the existing external and structural validity evidence indicates that RMET scores are generally valid for assessing emotion recognition ability. In this response, we clarify that our conclusion that RMET scores are unsubstantiated as measurements of social cognitive ability was based on evidence that spans the structural, external, and substantive components of validity. Furthermore, reiterating and expanding on the validity evidence in our review, we argue that, based on existing validity evidence, RMET scores are unlikely to be valid measurements of social cognitive ability. Therefore, we stand by our recommendation that researchers stop using the RMET as a measure of social cognitive ability and re-evaluate research findings that rely on RMET scores as measurements of social cognitive ability.

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.

Introduction
Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD) is an umbrella term for various conditions characterized by persistent and troublesome physical symptoms, that are not better explained by other psychiatric or somatic conditions. Personality traits may play a crucial role in FSD, but the link is not fully understood. This study presents a systematic review and meta-analysis examines the relationship between the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality traits and FSD.
Methods
The review was based on the PRISMA statement, and drew data from systematic searches in PsycInfo, PubMed, and Embase. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to include eligible FSD groups and control groups and to assess FFM traits. Data were analyzed using random effects models. Sub-group and sensitivity analyses as well as meta-regression were used to explore the heterogeneity and robustness of findings.
Results
In total 6841 records were screened and 52 included. FSD cases scored higher on neuroticism (k = 46, Hedge's g = 0.72, [95 % CI, 0.61: 0.83]) and lower on extraversion (k = 31, g = −0.41, [−0.55:-0.28]) and agreeableness (k = 15, g = −0.22, [−0.36:-0.09]) than healthy/unspecified controls. FSD cases scored higher on neuroticism (k = 9, g = 0.26 [0.08:0.44]) and agreeableness (k = 4, g = 0.43 [0.28:0.59]) than somatic controls, but did not differ on extraversion (k = 6, g = −0.17 [−0.45:0.11]). No significant differences were found for conscientiousness and openness. For psychiatric controls, meta-analysis was only possible for neuroticism (k = 3,= −0.61, [−1.98:0.77]). Findings displayed significant heterogeneity but no publication bias.
Conclusions
This review reveals significant associations between FFM traits and FSD, providing insight into the etiology, classification, and management of FSD.
