Measurement invariance of the driving inattention scale (ARDES) across 7 countries
No full text
The Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES) is a self-report measure of individual differences in driving inattention. ARDES was originally developed in Spanish (Argentina), and later adapted to other countries and languages. Evidence supporting the reliability and validity of ARDES scores has been obtained in various different countries. However, no study has been conducted to specifically examine the measurement invariance of ARDES measures across countries, thus limiting their comparability. Can different language versions of ARDES provide comparable measures across countries with different traffic regulations and cultural norms? To what extent might cultural differences prevent researchers from making valid inferences based on ARDES measures? Using Alignment Analysis, the present study assessed the approximate invariance of ARDES measures in seven countries: Argentina (n = 603), Australia (n = 378), Brazil (n = 220), China (n = 308). Spain (n = 310), UK (n = 298), and USA (n = 278). The three-factor structure of ARDES scores (differentiating driving errors occurring at Navigation, Manoeuvring and Control levels) was used as the target theoretical model. A fixed alignment analysis was conducted to examine approximate measurement invariance. 12.3 % of the intercepts and 0.8 % of the item-factor loadings were identified as non-invariant, averaging 8.6 % of non-invariance. Despite substantial differences among the countries, sample recruitment or representativeness, study results support resorting to ARDES measures to make comparisons across the country samples. Thus, the range of cultures, laws and collision risk across these 7 countries provides a demanding assessment for a cultural-free inattention while-driving. The alignment analysis results suggest that ARDES measures reach near equivalence among the countries in the study. We hope this study will serve as a basis for future cross-cultural research on driving inattention using ARDES.</p
Relationship between cognitive function and brain activation in major depressive disorder patients with and without insomnia: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) study
No full textBackground: Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) frequently present with sleep disturbances and cognitive impairment. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cognitive impairment is more severe in MDD patients with insomnia, and the underlying neural mechanisms. Methods: A total of 41 MDD patients with insomnia and 43 MDD patients without insomnia were recruited. We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess changes in oxyhemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) concentrations in the brain of patients while performing a verbal fluency task (VFT). Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), cognitive function by the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and severity of depression by the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Results: Compared to MDD patients without insomnia, those with insomnia had lower scores on the RBANS total and immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, and delayed memory subscales, as well as lower oxy-Hb concentrations in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and bilateral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).Further correlation analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between the RBANS total score in all brain regions except left mPFC in MDD patients with insomnia(all p < 0.05). Further multiple linear regression showed that Oxy-Hb concentrations of left DLPFC were independently associated with RBANS total score. Conclusion: Our study suggests that MDD patients with insomnia have more cognitive impairment, which is associated with impaired frontal brain activity. Our findings may provide new insights to understand the underlying neural mechanisms of both disorders MDD patients and provide potential clinical value for developing treatment strategies for insomnia in MDD patients
Impact of COVID-19 on negative body image: Evidence based on social media data
No full textBody experiences and conditions bear close relations to social development and human well-being. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 on negative body image. Investigating a reliable relationship between COVID-19 and negative body image, we developed a dictionary of negative body image to obtain panel data on body image for 31 Chinese provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions. We compared negative body image before and after the pandemic and explored the impact of pandemic severity. The prevalence of negative body image decreased following the outbreak and remained at a relatively low level for two years. After controlling regional and temporal effects, we verified epidemic severity as an important predictor of the decline in negative body image. The findings suggest that the public is likely to accept their physical appearances during lockdown due to changes in lifestyle and the fear of mortality. This research has important implications for gaining insights into the dynamic transformation of public negative body image under the influence of catastrophic public health events
Prevalence and risk factors for subclinical hypothyroidism in older patients with major depressive disorder
No full textBackground Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is highly correlated with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the prevalence and risk factors for SCH in older patients with MDD have rarely been reported in China. Methods This cross-sectional study included 266 older MDD patients with SCH was performed. Clinical and anthropometric, biochemical, and thyroid function data were collected. Depression, anxiety, and psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale positive subscale, respectively. Results Among older patients with MDD, the prevalence of SCH was 64.7% (172/266). Compared to patients without SCH, older MDD patients with SCH had a longer disease course and higher TSH, A-TG, A-TPO, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, FPG, and systolic pressure levels (all P <= 0.002). Furthermore, disease progression (OR 1.082, 95% CI 1.020-1.147, P = 0.009), A-TG (OR 1.005, 95% CI 1.001-1.009, P = 0.017), TC (OR 2.024, 95% CI 1.213-3.377, P = 0.007), FPG (OR 2.916, 95% CI 1.637-5.194, P < 0.001), systolic pressure (OR 1.053, 95% CI 1.008-1.100, P = 0.022) were independently associated with SCH, in older patients with MDD. Conclusions Our findings suggest a high prevalence of SCH in older patients with MDD. Several demographic and clinical variables were independently associated with SCH in older patients with MDD

Comorbid obsessive-compulsive depression in college students: Moderated mediation model and network analysis
No full text本研究探讨大学生强迫症状与抑郁症状亚临床共症现象，及童年创伤经历和情绪调节困难在其中作用。研究采用横断面设计和问卷调查，使用网络分析、中介模型等方法，探索大学生童年创伤经历各子类型、情绪调节困难各维度和临床症状间网络结构，并根据其桥梁节点进一步建立了有调节的中介模型。
研究一通过比较强迫症状组和无强迫症状组的人口学信息、临床症状、童年创伤经历和情绪调节困难指标，探索强迫症状组各指标特征。结果显示，强迫症状组抑郁症状（F=11745.518, p<0.001）、童年创伤经历 （F=116.418, p<0.001）和情绪调节困难（F=707.574, p<0.001）及后两量表各维度得分 （p<0.001）都显著高于无强迫症状组。
研究二利用网络分析技术，构建了强迫症状共症抑郁症状者强迫症状、抑郁症状、童年创伤各子类型及情绪调节困难各子维度的网络结构模型，同时建 立全体被试网络结构模型以进行对比。结果显示，与全体被试网络结构模型不同，共症组网络模型中冲动控制困难这一子维度具有重要桥梁作用。
研究三首先通过相关性分析发现共症组中强迫症状严重程度与抑郁症状严重程度（r=0.19, p<0.05）和情绪调节困难量表下的冲动控制困难子维度（r =0.29, p<0.01）显著相关；冲动控制困难与抑郁症状（r =0.34, p<0.01）显著相关。随后建立了以童年创伤经历为调节变量、冲动控制困难为中介变量、强迫症状为自变量及抑郁症状为因变量的有调节的中介模型，经验证拟合良好。
综上所述，本研究利用网络分析技术和有调节的中介模型，探索了童年创伤经历和情绪调节困难在强迫症状抑郁症状共症现象中的作用，得出以下结论：（1）大学生的强迫症状评分越高，其抑郁症状评分、情绪调节困难各子维度及总分及童年创伤经历的各子类型及总分均越高，这表明大学生强迫症状与其抑郁症状、情绪调节困难及童年创伤经历显著相关。（2）在共症组网络结构模型及全体被试网络结构模型中，有限的情绪调节策略和情感虐待起到重要桥梁作用，这提示有效的情绪调节策略和情感虐待的预防在减少强迫和抑郁症状及两 者共症的发生中具有重要意义。（3）仅在共症组网络结构模型中，冲动控制困 难子维度起到了重要的桥梁作用，这显示出冲动控制困难在强迫症状抑郁症状共症群体中的独特影响。（4）共症组中强迫症状、抑郁症状、情绪调节困难之间存在显著相关，这表明情绪调节困难可能是连接强迫症状和抑郁症状的重要因素。（5）冲动控制困难在强迫症状和抑郁症状之间起到中介作用，童年创伤经历在这一模型中显著调节了强迫症状与抑郁症状之间的关系。
以上发现不仅加深了我们对强迫症状抑郁症状共症机制的理解，还为临床治疗提供了具体干预目标。例如，通过对冲动控制和童年创伤经历针对性干预，可以更有效地缓解共症症状。本研究对心理健康评估和干预具有一定应用价值，对临床工作者制定干预方案具有一定理论指导，对提高治疗效果和患者整体心理健康水平具有一定意义
The effect of place attachment on pro-environmental behaviors: The mediating role of empathy with nature and nature relatedness
No full text创建可持续发展的城市对很多国家和地区来说是项挑战。经济和城市化快速发展让很多城市面临空气污染、水资源短缺、垃圾围城等环境问题。鼓励居民参与亲环境行为如垃圾分类、绿色出行、节约用水等，对于解决这些环境问题、促进城市可持续发展至关重要。地方依恋可能在促进居民亲环境行为中起关键作用，但结论仍存在争议。
地 方依恋如何影响亲环境行为的进一步研究，有助于调查和澄清这些争议。同时，地方依恋和亲环境行为间是否存在因果关系以及作用机制尚不明确。本研究结合 调查和实验研究，通过纳入自然共情和自然联结两个变量，深入探讨地方依恋与亲环境行为的关系及其潜在作用机制。
研究 1，采用问卷调研北京市样本，共收集到 1128 份有效数据(女性 60.5%，
M 年龄 = 35.54)，结果表明地方依恋可以正向预测亲环境行为；地方依恋维度：地 方认同、自然纽带、社会联系能显著正向预测亲环境行为，地方依赖负向预测亲 环境行为；地方依恋通过自然共情和自然联结的链式中介作用与亲环境行为正相关。
为检验地方依恋与亲环境行为间有无因果关系，在研究2中使用情景模拟法 操纵地方依恋，共收集 230份有效数据(女性 54.35%，M 年龄 = 29.62)，并随机分 配到依恋组和控制组。结果表明，地方依恋与亲环境行为之间因果关系显著。此外，与研究 1 一致，研究 2 再次验证地方依恋可通过自然共情和自然联结链式中介作用影响亲环境行为；地方依恋也可通过自然联结单独中介作用促进亲环境行为，但自然共情在地方依恋与亲环境行为中的中介作用不显著。
本研究结合问卷调查和实验设计研究地方依恋在亲环境行为中发挥的重要作用，有一定创新性。同时，通过纳入自然共情和自然联结，首次验证两个变量在地方依恋与亲环境行为间的链式中介作用。我们的研究结果加强了地方依恋与亲环境行为间关系和作用机制的理解，并为地方依恋领域研究作出了理论贡献。本研究也为地方政府和城市管理者制定有效环境管理政策开辟新途径和方法，有一定现实及实践意义
Associations between amyloid-β load and cognition in cerebrovascular disease beyond cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of positron emission tomography studies
No full textBackground: There is growing interest in the comorbidity of vascular and neurodegenerative pathologies in patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) beyond cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). However, the relationship between amyloid-beta and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) remains debated. Objective: To investigate the association between VCI and amyloid-beta deposition in non-CAA CVD patients. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO and CENTRAL databases were systematically searched. Observational studies, including case-control and cohort studies, associating cognitive scores with amyloid load measured by positron emission tomography were selected. Meta-analyses were performed to assess the strength of amyloid-cognition associations across CVD subtypes and cognitive domains. A random-effects model using the inverse variance method was used, with heterogeneity evaluated by Q-statistics and I-2 statistics. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to examine the influence of moderators, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test. All statistical analyses were performed using StataMP 18. Results: Twenty-seven eligible studies encompassing 2894 participants were included. Among non-CAA CVD patients, global cognitive performance was significantly lower in those with higher amyloid-beta deposition (standardized mean difference = -0.43, P 0.05). Conclusions: Amyloid-beta load is associated with cognitive decline in non-CAA CVD patients. This is more pronounced in patients with subcortical vascular disease than in post-stroke patients. Executive function is the most susceptible domain in VCI when the level of amyloid-beta increases.
