Neurodiversity is a common term used to describe individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The term was created to indicate that there are individual differences related to diversity in neurodevelopmental disorders, and to destigmatize individuals diagnosed with these disorders, in order to encourage their enablement. The term neurodiversity is too restrictive in implying that the major etiological source of the disorders at issue are especially biological, physiological, and centrally determined. Variations of the term have been presented, predominantly related to the biopsychosocial model in one way or another. This article suggests a more inclusive term to reflect the multifactorial origins of neurodevelopmental disorders, referred to as embodied biopsychosocial (neuro)diversity. The new term underscores psychological and social (environmental) influences on persons as much as biological influences. The term allows further empowering and advocacy in relation to neurodivergent individuals, as well as interventions that can improve their condition, while fostering their agentic contributions in these regards.

Doomscrolling refers to the compulsive engagement with distressing news content online and is linked to negative psychological outcomes. Guided by the Stressful Media Consumption Framework and Compensatory Internet Use Theory, this study examined whether fear of missing out (FoMO) explains the association between Big Five personality traits and doomscrolling. FoMO has been theorized as an affective mechanism that may link emotional instability to maladaptive media engagement, yet its role in doomscrolling remains underexplored, particularly in Eastern contexts. Data were collected from 331 Indian social media users (aged 18–40) who completed validated measures of personality, FoMO, and doomscrolling. Correlation analyses indicated that neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and FoMO were significantly associated with doomscrolling. Multiple regression showed that FoMO had the largest standardized association with doomscrolling, followed by neuroticism (positive), agreeableness (negative), and conscientiousness (negative). Mediation analysis indicated that the indirect association between neuroticism and doomscrolling via FoMO was significant, whereas the direct association was not significant. These results suggest that FoMO may be one relevant affective factor connecting personality particularly emotional instability to compulsive news consumption. Our findings suggest that people high in neuroticism may doomscroll more when they feel they are missing out on information.

People tend to judge that agents bring about the ends more intentionally than the means. In three experiments, we test a new explanation for this so-called Kraemer Effect: people tend to judge that agents bring about the ends more intentionally than the means because they think that the agent's actions increase the probability of the ends more than the means, even though their objective probabilities are the same. In Experiment 1, we replicated the Kraemer Effect in English and German. In Experiment 2, we aimed to manipulate people's perceived probability increase of bringing about the ends and test whether this would decrease the size of the Kraemer Effect. In Experiment 3, we aimed to manipulate people's perceived probability increase of bringing about the means and test whether this would decrease the size of the Kraemer Effect. In both experiments, we found no evidence that manipulating the perceived probability increase of bringing about the means or the ends decreased the size of the Kraemer Effect. Overall, we found no evidence that a probability-raising account of intentionality explains the Kraemer Effect.

In some countries, public health policies and social networks are contributing to making people more responsible for their own health by promoting healthy eating. This context of “healthism” has witnessed the development of orthorexia nervosa. Described as an eating disorder based on an obsession with healthy eating, orthorexia nervosa is not yet included in diagnostic manuals. A central issue in the study of orthorexia is how it differentiates from other eating disorders and how to identify it among the growing number of healthy diets. Flexibility seems to be relevant for distinguishing between the adaptive and pathological forms of adherence to eating habits perceived as healthy. In this respect, psychotherapeutic interventions linked to flexibility are a promising path to support people with orthorexic symptoms, regardless of disorder categorization. Flexibility could also be integrated into the way dietary recommendations are devised, in order to promote the overall physical, psychological and social health.

Individuals can liberate themselves and others from oppression through critical consciousness, which involves critical reflection (i.e., awareness of systemic oppression) and critical action; both are necessary for systemic change. However, reflection does not always lead to action. Most scholars consider one's critical motivation (i.e., interest and efficacy in enacting sociopolitical change) to bridge critical reflection and action. Given that critical consciousness is steeped in issues of morality, this paper integrates moral reasoning and decision-making frameworks with critical consciousness literature to elucidate the psychological processes that encourage or discourage praxis. Doing so highlights the need for a novel critical consciousness component: critical decision-making, which involves determining an action goal, deciding if and how to act, planning action steps, and problem-solving barriers to action. This paper describes critical decision-making processes and offers methodological recommendations for future research to examine critical decision-making. Including critical decision-making as a component of critical consciousness enables future researchers to ask and answer new questions that can provide a deeper understanding of praxis and inform efforts that seek to transform oppressive systems.

Enactivism is a philosophy of mind that understands cognition as fundamentally embodied, embedded in environmental contexts, and constituted through active engagement with the world. What are the consequences of such a view for the conceptualization, study, and treatment of mental disorder? This paper aims to introduce readers to ‘enactive psychiatry’, a perspective that is currently emerging as a novel and integrative theoretical framework for the study of psychopathology. First, enactivism is overviewed, including a summary listing of key conceptual resources it brings. This is then followed by critical discussion of three leading conceptual frameworks in enactive psychiatry: Sanneke de Haan's ‘Enactive Psychiatry’, Michelle Maiese's ‘Enactive Medical Model’, and Kristopher Nielsen's ‘3e Psychopathology’. Key points of convergence and divergence across these frameworks are drawn out, regarding both how these frameworks conceptualize the structure of mental disorders, and how they demarcate mental disorder from normal functioning. Finally, a brief discussion overviews some of the apparent strengths and weaknesses of enactive psychiatry as a wider approach. It is suggested that enactive psychiatry has strong integrative potential and presents an empirically plausible and fruitful framework from which to consider mental disorders.
Enactivism是一种思想哲学，它认为认知从根本上是具体化的，嵌入在环境背景中，并通过与世界的积极接触而构成。这种观点对精神障碍的概念化、研究和治疗有什么影响？本文旨在向读者介绍“活动精神病学”，这一观点目前正在成为精神病理学研究的一种新颖而综合的理论框架。首先，概述了行动主义，包括它带来的关键概念资源的摘要列表。接下来是对精神病学中三个主要概念框架的批判性讨论：Sanneke de Haan的“精神病学”，Michelle Maiese的“精神医学模型”和christopher Nielsen的“3e精神病理学”。就这些框架如何概念化精神障碍的结构，以及如何将精神障碍与正常功能区分开来，提出了这些框架之间的趋同和分歧的关键点。最后，简短的讨论概述了作为一种更广泛的方法的行为精神病学的一些明显的优点和缺点。这表明，行为精神病学具有强大的整合潜力，并提出了一个经验上合理和富有成效的框架，从中考虑精神障碍。

In this study (N = 237), we explore a novel explanation of the mechanisms underlying task delay during procrastination. Given emerging evidence that procrastination sometimes has creative advantages, we hypothesized that procrastinators delay tasks because they prefer exploratory learning strategies. Exploratory learning in children involves cognitive flexibility that enables more creative pattern recognition in conjunctive rule tasks compared to adults. This pattern may parallel the creative advantages observed in procrastinators. We therefore investigated whether procrastinators were more accurate than non-procrastinators in decoding conjunctive rules and whether procrastination predicts creativity. We found that procrastinators were indeed more successful in decoding conjunctive rules and showed higher creativity. These findings suggest that procrastinators employ a distinctively exploratory approach that, while risking task delay, can facilitate performance in certain contexts.

We are introducing a novel thermodynamic model of emotion. In this model, emotions are regarded as deviations from equilibrium, akin to fluctuations in body temperature. This bipolar regulation maintains bodily and psychological homeostasis while spurring mental development. Emotional regulation typically occurs through expanding one's perception of time. Positive, low-information content emotions can reduce action drive, but stressful, information-rich conditions can heighten it. Therefore, time perception can potentiate the capacity of emotions to motivate. However, time perception accelerates to facilitate fluid action performance, with the state of flow representing a unique state of contentment and challenge. By anchoring psychological processes to the principles of energy and entropy, our model offers a comprehensive bipolar foundation for understanding motivation and behavior. Beyond its theoretical implications, this model also lays the groundwork for addressing mental health conditions resulting from the dysregulation of emotions. It can inspire potential interventions to harness the mind-body connections elucidated by our thermodynamic perspective.

Background
Death and mourning practices are undergoing rapid transformation due to global crises, digital technologies, and increased cultural entanglement. These shifts generate complex ethical challenges that remain underexplored in contemporary research and practice.
Objective
This study aims to examine the ethical dilemmas and cultural adaptations emerging in death and mourning contexts, and to develop an integrated, globally replicable ethical framework for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
Methods
Using a hybrid qualitative design, we conducted a PRISMA-guided literature review of 44 peer-reviewed studies and semi-structured interviews with 19 interdisciplinary experts in palliative care, anthropology, psychology, and digital ethics. A hybrid thematic content analysis (HTCA) identified six core clusters spanning ritual adaptation, digital mourning, ethical review dilemmas, psychosocial-spiritual grief, crisis disruption, and policy gaps.
Results
Findings reveal tensions between traditional mourning rituals and institutional constraints; ethical limitations of procedural consent frameworks; the cultural dissonance of AI-based grief technologies; and the absence of integrated training in cultural and spiritual grief competencies. These insights informed the construction of a Global Replicable Ethical Framework for Death and Mourning Studies (GREF-DMS), consisting of five interconnected components for applied use.
Conclusion
This study contributes a novel framework that bridges ethical theory, digital innovation, and cultural praxis in mourning contexts. It offers practical and scalable pathways to enhance ethical sensitivity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and culturally grounded responses to grief in diverse global settings.

Fulfillment as the cornerstone of a good life has frequently been mentioned in the context of well-being, happiness, and positive psychology. It acts as a key indicator of what it means to lead a meaningful, well-lived existence. However, despite recognition of the importance of fulfillment, systematic research on its definition and measurement has only recently emerged. This article introduces a new research direction, proposing a comprehensive conceptual framework to understand fulfillment in life. The article defines fulfillment as a cognitive-affective experience that is characterized by a sense of wholeness, congruence, and value towards one’s self, life, and impact. This 3 × 3 arrangement forms the structural model of fulfillment, which also serves as the basis for its assessment. Drawing upon qualitative research, we examine how laypersons perceive and experience fulfillment. Additionally, we investigate how a measured fulfilled life differs from related concepts and highlight its strong connection to successful personality development. Our objective is to establish robust conceptual and methodological foundations alongside initial empirical findings, to pave the way for future research on fulfillment.

The article defines fulfillment as a cognitive-affective experience that is characterized by a sense of wholeness, congruence, and value towards one’s self, life, and impact. This 3 × 3 arrangement forms the structural model of fulfillment, which also serves as the basis for its assessment. Drawing upon qualitative research, we examine how laypersons perceive and experience fulfillment. Additionally, we investigate how a measured fulfilled life differs from related concepts and highlight its strong connection to successful personality development. Our objective is to establish robust conceptual and methodological foundations alongside initial empirical findings, to pave the way for future research on fulfillment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51556,"journal":{"name":"New Ideas in Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101185"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
