Autism spectrum disorder assessments for individuals with cerebral palsy or other motor disorders: a systematic scoping review protocol
No full textObjective: This scoping review aims to describe procedures that have been used to identify core Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) features or to support ASD diagnoses in people with motor disorders. This includes assessee characteristics, reported challenges/limitations, or adaptations used when undergoing such procedures.
Introduction: Motor disturbances can make the identification of ASD challenging and limit the validity and usability of standardized instruments. Resolving this challenge requires a systematic review of available instruments and current practices.
Inclusion criteria: We will consider sources specifying ASD diagnostic criteria and/or instruments used to assess ASD in people with motor conditions that begin perinatally or during childhood. Included motor conditions must always carry a permanent motor impairment of at least Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) I equivalency and reach GMFCS and/or MACS III equivalent or greater in at least some forms of the condition.
Methods: The review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology (Peters et al., 2020, 2022) and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (Tricco et al., 2018). Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL complete, and ERIC databases were searched on 27/12/22. The search strategy combined text words and controlled vocabulary for terms referring to ASD and motor disorders accomplishing our inclusion criteria and having a prevalence ≥10/100,000. Titles/abstracts are being each screened by two reviewers and relevant data will be extracted from sources accomplishing the inclusion criteria
Effect of trust on observational SR-Binding
No full textIn this study we investigate whether trusting vs. mistrusting the person one is interacting with modulates observationally acquired SR binding and retrieval effects. Trust is manipulated by a variation of the Investment Game (Berg et al., 1995). After that, participants perform an online interactive color classification task to assess observationally acquired SR retrieval effects
The role of leadership on employee mental health in geographically isolated and non-isolated workplaces: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
No full textGeographically isolated or remote occupational contexts present unique job demands that may amplify the effects of the workplace on employee mental health (Palinkas & Suedfeld, 2021). These workplaces are operationalised according to the location, time or nature of work activities undertaken while distanced from the assistance of rescue, medical and emergency services, where communication is limited, and where travel is difficult (Comcare, 2013). Examples include mining, at-sea Navy deployments or submarines, Arctic and Antarctic explorations/expeditions and spaceflight (Milne & Bahn, 2015; Palinkas, 2003).
Under these conditions, psychosocial issues can arise from the complexities of living in confined spaces, shift work and prolonged distance from family with limited communications (Brasher, et al., 2010). Additionally, the blurring of boundaries between work and off-work time may be conducive to psychological risks, particularly when there is inadequate opportunity for recovery (Hetland et al., 2021). Prolonged exposure to workplace demands without adequate job resources may initially manifest as non-clinical mental health symptoms (e.g., occupational stress and burnout), that can potentiate into clinically significant disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression; Koutsimani et al., 2019).
Leadership may play an influential role on employee mental health in geographically isolated occupational environments, as informed by social-cognitive and resource-based theories (Bakker, Demerouti, & Euwema, 2005; Bandura, 1991). Some forms of leadership may be more beneficial or detrimental to employee mental health; however, what remains unclear is the magnitude of impact.
Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis seeks to understand the role of leadership behaviours on employee mental health outcomes, in geographically isolated workplace contexts

Preventable deaths involving falls: a systematic case series of coroners’ reports in England and Wales, 2013-2022
No full textBackground
Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide1. In 2020, there were 6,410 deaths reported from accidental falls in England and Wales, with 5,850 of these representing persons ≥65 years old2. Falls can lead to traumatic injury, such as hip fracture3 or head injury, which may lead directly to mortality. Additionally, falls can act as the initiating factor in a chain of events that lead to death, such as immobility after a fall precipitating a fatal pneumonia4.
Preventing significant morbidity and mortality related to falls remains a challenge both in the community and inpatient settings. Risk factors for falls in younger populations include hazardous working environments and alcohol and substance misuse1. Falls in the elderly population are associated with lower-energy impact (i.e. falls from standing)5 due to risk factors such as cognitive decline4, fall-risk increasing drugs6, systemic infections7, and decline in physical function8. A previous fall in an elderly person is associated with fear of falling, leading to activity restriction and further decline in physical function9. Not all falls are avoidable, however it is important to understand what factors preceding and following a fall are modifiable to prevent serious harm.
Since 1984, coroners have had a duty to report and communicate a death where the coroner believes that action should be taken to prevent future deaths10. These reports, named Prevent Future Deaths, are mandated under Paragraph 7 of Schedule 5, Coroners and Justice Act 2009, and regulations 28 and 29 of The Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 201311,12. A detailed analysis of PFDs implicating falls could highlight factors surrounding a fall leading specifically to death, the most severe outcome following a fall. This is important to inform clinical staff managing patients with a risk of falls and patients who have fallen, public health policy, and falls-related research.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of our study is to systematically characterise falls-related PFDs, and analyse the concerns raised by coroners in these reports. Our objectives are to discover:
1. The number of PFDs involving falls
2. The years of life lost from such deaths
3. Geographical variations in reporting such deaths
4. The number and types of concerns voiced by coroners
5. How these concerns related temporally to the fall (leading up to the fall, in the immediate management of the fall, or medium and long-term consequences of the fall)
6. The numbers and types of individuals or organisations to whom the PFDs were addressed
7. The number of responses received within the 56-day requirement
8. The types of actions taken by organisations in response to coroner concern

Beliefs and determinants of participation in recreational STEM activities of children and adolescents with special regard to gender and SES: An elicitation study.
No full textWhile children are curious and interested in science and technology, this interest declines with 12 to 13 years (Archer et al. 2013; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung 2019; Trotman 2017). Moreover, the gap between boys and girls and children from low versus high socio-economic background concerning their interest, motivation and self-concept in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is widening (Sadler et al. 2012; Brotman und Moore 2008) and the likelihood of choosing a STEM related career is declining. Low interest and motivation in turn are associated with lower competencies (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 2006). This trend is highly problematic, since STEM-related competencies, such as programming, are not only relevant for the economy of a country, but also for the individual and society (Kultusministerkonferenz 2009). Therefore, research on fostering STEM-related motivation and interest is necessary. Maker activities, which include for example using 3D-printers, laser cutters or CNC milling machines for creating individual artefacts, have an enormous potential to introduce children and youths to STEM outside school and to nurture their motivation (Smolarczyk und Kröner 2021). These Making activitites can be pursued in so-called Fab Labs which are open workshops with a mission to provide the general public with access to digital manufacturing technologies (Gershenfeld 2005). In this context, it is not known, under which circumstances especially underrepresented children and youths are interested to engage in Making (in the long run). Thus, this study aims at eliciting the beliefs and determinants of participation in recreational making activities of children and adolescents with special regard to gender and SES. For this, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen 1991) is especially suitable because it includes person- as well as environment-related aspects. The beliefs and determinants for recreational making related activities will be elicited using a semi-structured interview following the TPB (Francis et al. 2004). Since the age of 12 to 13 is crucial for maintaining interest in STEM, N = 30 youths will be interviewed. They will be chosen following a sampling plan. The interviews will be transcribed and evaluated using a qualitative content analysis (Mayring 2022). Implications for recreational making-related activities will be discussed
Trait Response to Emotion Validation Study
No full textTrait responses to emotion (TRE), which are personality traits that emerge from consistent coping strategies over time, lend themselves to have some similarities to emotion-based aspects of other personality traits. The purpose of this study is to establish validity of TRE dimensions (e.g., approach to avoidance, engagement to disengagement, and dyscontrol to control) relative to the five-factor and HEXACO models of personality using a large, diverse sample. The primary aim of this study is to delineate how the five-factor and HEXACO models of personality may correlate with TREs. For instance, neuroticism is characterized by a general tendency to experience negative emotions, and extraversion is characterized by a general tendency to experience positive emotions. However, we predict that TREs will be correlated with personality dimensions at r < .57, demonstrating that, accounting for measure reliability, the TRE and personality constructs share less than half of their true-score variance. The secondary aim of this study is to demonstrate incremental predictive validity of TREs. We expect that TRE will have similar incremental validity for mood to that of dispositional optimism over the five-factor and HEXACO models of personality. Thus, we expect that TREs will predict at least 5% of the variance in positive and negative affect above and beyond personality
Construct Map of Environmental Attitude
No full textWe developed a construct map of environmental attitude (the commitment to the goal of protecting the environment/to acting environmentally protective). Construct maps are a sophisticated way to define psychological constructs and are therefore part of the operationalization of the construct. The main goal is to assign individuals to qualitatively different levels of the corresponding construct. Hence, the value on the construct that is estimated from the person’s response pattern becomes interpretable (Wilson, 2004). Construct maps can be divided into a respondent and a response map. The respondent map describes the different levels based on how they are reflected in the population. The description constitutes the psychological attributes and processes typical of individuals assigned to the different levels. The response map allocates typical responses to the corresponding level of the construct map.
First the respondent map was formulated and then, based on the respondent map six Guttman items were developed (each Guttman item with five response options; representing the response map). The Guttman items will be assessed in a German convenience sample together with the items from the General Ecological Behavior Scale (GEB)). The analyses will focus on the calibration of both scales in Rasch-type models and the analyses will allow an evaluation of the construct map
