Personality dimensions, resilience, and depression during COVID-19 pandemic: A one-year longitudinal study
CONCLUSION: The decline in depression rates during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced by levels of resilience, which acted as a protective factor against the development of depressive symptoms. Notably, Neuroticism and Psychoticism predicted the risk of developing depressive symptoms. Implications for practical intervention in future crisis scenarios suggest the need for public health policy programs featuring personalized interventions that prioritize enhancing resilience.PMID:38493710 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104229 (Source: Acta Psychologica)

Preparation and persistence of deploying attention to locations or stimulus structures: Evidence from intermixed probe trials
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Mar 16;245:104205. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104205. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAttention can be directed to the global or local level of a visual stimulus (i.e., Navon figure). Previous studies yielded reliable trial-to-trial level switch costs (i.e., worse performance when responding to the other level than on a previous trial), even though level cueing effects indicated anticipatory deployment of attention to the upcoming target level. To investigate the interplay of attentional preparation and persistence, we applied a probe trial method assumed to ensure a high degree of preparation for t...

The mediating role of workplace spirituality: Exploring the relationship between, self-transcendence, spiritual transcendence, and innovative work behavior
This study aims to investigate the intricate interplay between self-transcendence, spiritual transcendence, innovative work behavior, and the mediating role of workplace spirituality. Utilizing structural equation modeling, it examines the associations among these variables. Mediation analysis explores the extent to which workplace spirituality mediates these relationships. The findings reveal positive connections between self-transcendence, spiritual transcendence, workplace spirituality, and innovative work behavior.

Determinants of consumer adoption of multilingual self-service ordering systems in fast food restaurants
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Mar 15;245:104216. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to the increasing number of international exchanges, foreign users have gradually become a significant consumer segment. Many of them are not proficient in the local language. Providing them with native language services will be an important trend, both from a business and a humanistic perspective. The purpose of this study is to investigate the fast-food restaurant ordering system that can provide multilingual services for foreigners, and to investigate factors that influence fast food restaurant consumers to ...

Stimulus-elicited involuntary autobiographical memories
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Mar 15;245:104212. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe reflexive imagery task (RIT) has been used to investigate stimulus-elicited involuntary mental processes. The task has been successful in eliciting involuntary perceptual experiences, urges, and even higher-order cognitions, but it has never been used to elicit autobiographical memories, even though in everyday life these memories are often activated involuntarily by external stimuli. These memories are different in interesting ways from the kinds of mental representations that have been activated involuntarily...

Exercise habits and health behaviors on adolescent obesity
CONCLUSION: The obesity rate of boys is higher than that of girls and high school students is higher than that of middle school students, and obesity is inversely proportional to family economic status. Mental health factors, exercise habits and eating habits are all important factors affecting adolescent obesity. It is suggested that gender differences, psychological factors, health habits, obesity education and healthy eating habits suitable for different age groups should be considered in the formulation of adolescent obesity policy.PMID:38490131 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104199 (Source: Acta Psychologica)

Users' unverified information-sharing behavior on social media: The role of reasoned and social reactive pathways
This study applies and extends the prototypical willingness model with the aim of comprehending the reasons, and decision-making process driving users' unverified information-sharing behavior a reasoned and intended pathway or an impulsive and unconscious one. Data from a sample of 646 users were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to assess the determinative effect of both the reasoned pathway (attitude toward unverified information-sharing, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) and the social-reaction pathway (prototype favorability and similarity). Findings highlight the substantial role of the soci...

Multiple trauma exposure and psychopathology in Syrian refugees living in Turkey: A latent class analysis
DISCUSSION: The latent classes identified in this study correspond with previous research regarding trauma in Syrian refugees. However, this study largely failed to find significant differences in mental health diagnoses between classes. Future research should consider the effect of post-migration stressors in refugee populations, which may play a crucial role in mental health outcomes.PMID:38490133 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104220 (Source: Acta Psychologica)

Examining concept development classroom interaction quality and children's developmental progress in state pre-K/head start programs using pre-K CLASS and LAP-3
In conclusion, the current research suggests that many teachers struggle not only to effectively provide high-quality CD teacher-child interactions but also high-quality IS teacher-child interactions in their classrooms. Comprehensive in-service training on CD and an alternative assessment tool that extends beyond the 72-month age limit are strongly recommended. This is important to ensure that teachers are equipped with the necessary skills and motivation to provide high-quality education to young children to prevent developmental delays in children.PMID:38479214 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104201 (Source: Acta Psychologica)

Cookie cravings - Examining the impact of sugar content information on Christmas treat preferences via mobile eye-tracking
CONCLUSION: Assuming that cookies are sugar-free reduced the reported preference for this product, which was associated with a more detail-oriented (critical) viewing pattern. The study's findings have potential implications for public health and can aid in developing targeted interventions to promote healthier food choices during festive periods. The new strategies should not focus on the sugar content of foods.PMID:38479215 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104213 (Source: Acta Psychologica)
