Mediating effect of negative emotions on visual impairment and resilience among middle-aged and elderly populations / 预防医学

Objective @#To investigate the mediating effect of negative emotions on visual impairment and resilience among middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide insights into improving psychological health among middle-aged and elderly populations.@*Methods@#Demographic information, visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience in the residents at ages of 45 years and older were collected through the database of the Yushu Physical and Mental Health Survey carried out by Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Structural equation model was used to analyze the effects of visual impairment and resilience and the mediating role of negative emotions. @*Results@#Totally 2 997 middle-aged and elderly populations were enrolled, with the median age of 50.00 (interquartile range, 47.00) years. There were 1 320 males (44.04%) and 1 677 females (55.96%), 1 627 illiterate persons (54.29%), and 2 780 married persons (92.76%). The scores of visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience were (6.79±2.59), (6.35±3.05) and (33.38±10.41) points, respectively. The results of structural equation model analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level and marital status, visual impairment had a direct negative positive effect on resilience, with a direct effect value of -0.157 (95%CI: -0.177 to -0.137), and visual impairment could also negatively affect residence through negative emotions, with a mediating effect value of -0.112 (95%CI: -0.126 to -0.104), and the mediating effect contributed 41.64% to the total effect.@*Conclusion@#visual impairment could reduce residence directly or indirectly through the mediating effect of negative emotions among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Analysis of Moral Emotion from the Perspective of Moral Injury Research / 中国医学伦理学

Moral emotion is a kind of psychological activity that generated when dealing with realistic moral relationship or analyzing human behaviors, expressed as emotional emotions of love and hatred. From the perspective of moral injury research, on the one hand, moral emotion expresses as emotional collapse, which reflects the huge gap between reality and moral cognition, and deviates from values; on the other hand, it shows the typical symptoms of moral injury, such as shame, guilt, anger, apathy and so on. Based on this, the therapy of moral injury should start from solving the ethical conflict of moral injury, and carry out the healing process of "ethical and moral cognitive education, enlightening the thinking of core value issues, encouraging and guiding independent moral practice" in stages according to the different levels of individual moral emotion. As a result, moral emotion can be rational enough to promote healing moral injury.

Changes and predictors of adolescent emotion regulation, self-esteem, and locus of control during the COVID-19 pandemic: 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort

Objectives: There is growing interest in examining the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on adolescent socioemotional development. This study aimed to examine changes in adolescent emotion regulation (ER), self-esteem (SE), and locus of control (LoC) from before to during the pandemic in a Brazilian birth cohort, and to investigate the variables associated with changes in those socioemotional competences. Methods: 1,949 adolescents from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort were assessed before (T1, November 2019 to March 2020) and during (T2, August to December 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic (mean ages [SD] = 15.69 [0.19] and 17.41 [0.26], respectively). Adolescents' socioemotional competences were assessed, including ER, SE, and LoC. Sociodemographic, pre-pandemic, and pandemic-related correlates were examined as predictors of change. Multivariate latent change score models were used in the analyses. Results: There were significant mean increases in adolescents' ER and SE (mean ER = 1.918, p < 0.001; mean SE = 1.561, p = 0.001) and a significant mean decrease (towards internalization) in LoC levels (MLoC = -0.497, p < 0.01) during the pandemic. Factors that predicted a lower competency increase included family conflicts, harsh parenting, and maternal depressive symptoms during the pandemic. Conclusion: Despite the stress imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the adolescents of this cohort showed positive development in their socioemotional competences. Family-related factors emerged as important predictors of adolescent socioemotional adjustment during the study period.

Validation of the regret coping scale for healthcare professionals (RCS-HCP) in portuguese for Brazil

Introduction: assessing the ability to cope with regret can contribute to support strategies for health professionals. However, in Brazil only few instruments evaluate this ability in general. Objective: this study aimed was to adapt and validate the Regret Coping Scale for Healthcare Professionals (RCS-HCP) to Brazilian Portuguese . Methods: the instruments were translated, and the psychometric properties evaluated for validity and reliability. Three hundred and forty-one professionals participated, with an average age of 38.6 ± 9.2, and 87 participated in a retest survey 30 days later. Results: exploratory factor analysis showed adequacy of the structure (KMO = 0.786) composed of three factors. In the confirmation, the performance was close to acceptable. Reliability was good for the maladaptive strategies (α = 0.834) and adequate for the problem-focused initiatives (α = 0.717), but slightly too low for adaptive strategies (α = 0.595). Test- retest showed lower than expected values, with a Spearman- Brown coefficient of 0.703. Conclusion: the RCS-HCP scale showed satisfactory performance in relation to the properties evaluated.

STATUS OF WOMEN THROUGH EONS

Life in the 21 Century has changed, developed albeit rather slowly evolved to a higher dimension with the advancement of technology and education. However, one thing that has been dragged from the medieval ages into this new era is the status of women in the society. Women in the new eon are still ill-treated, and it is not astonishing at all. However, when a deep study of the subject is made in history, we understand that it is surprisingly a newer concept. In the ancient India, somewhere around the Vedic period, women were respected and valued highly in the society. A woman could fight wars, take part in philosophical discussions, join in festivals along with men, or even remain unmarried if she desired so. So, how and why did such concepts of inequality and discrimination arose in the past are interesting studies which are yet less-known to people. Later on, around the eleventh century, women lost these perks, and consequently their status in the society due to some social, political and economic changes. The rise in evil customs and traditions like female feticide, dowry deaths, sexual assault, rape enslaved women to the boundaries of their houses. Women were mentally threatened and emotionally handcuffed from being active participants of discussions, hence their role in the society became passive in nature. The process of reawakening of the human conscience begun in the 19th Century. Reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Dayanand threw light on the need of eliminating all forms of gender discrimination and biasedness. The logic behind this activation of mind was simple- without women, life on the planet wouldn't have sustained. A woman is the source of creation, she bears a child and hence the progeny maintains the continuum of life. For the species to survive, both the genders were to be conserved equally. Hence, the society started acknowledging this perspective of mind, though with a steadier pace this time. This change wasn't easy to accept for most of the people who now considered men to be on the cliff, i.e. above and higher than a woman's st position. This paper displays the status of women and her empowerment in the 21 Century in all aspects of life due to the rise in education.

Effect of Emotional Word Processing on Communicative and Social Functioning in the Elderly / Efecto del procesamiento emocional de palabras en el funcionamiento comunicativo y social en el adulto mayor / Efeito do processamento emocional de palavras no funcionamento comunicativo e social em idosos

Communicative and social functioning in old age involves cognitive and emotional resources. According to the Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (tss), older adults have an affinity for positive events and cultivate their emotional skills. Objective: To explore the relationship between communicative and social functioning and the processing of emotional stimuli in the elderly. Materials and methods: Older adults and young adults performed a computerized lexical decision task (ldt) and were assessed on their com-municative functioning. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the valence factor, with faster processing of stimuli with emotional versus non-emotional content (2196 = 36.39, p <.001); Regarding communicative and social functioning, when comparing it with performance in the tdl, it was shown that older adults obtained longer reaction times and higher error rates in the processing of stimuli, as well as lower scores in the asha-facs. Conclusion: Even when there is no evidence of an interaction between the processing of emotional stimuli and communicative and social functioning, emotional valence influences word processing in older adults, with a preference and selectivity for positive stimuli.

el funcionamiento comunicativo y social en la vejez implica recursos cognitivos y emocionales. Según la teoría de la selectividad socioemocional (tss), los adultos mayores tienen afinidad por eventos positivos y cultivan sus habilidades emocionales. Objetivo: explorar la relación entre el fun-cionamiento comunicativo y social y el procesamiento de estímulos emocionales en el adulto mayor. Materiales y métodos: adultos mayores y adultos jóvenes realizaron una tarea computarizada de decisión léxico (tdl) y fueron evaluados en su funcionamiento comunicativo. Resultados: hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el factor de valencia, con un procesamiento más rápido de estímulos con contenido emocional versus no emocional (2196 = 36.39; p < 0.001). En cuanto al funcionamiento comunicativo y social, al compararlo con el desempeño en la tdl, se evidenció que los adultos mayores obtuvieron tiempos de reacción más prolongados y mayores tasas de error en el procesamiento de estímulos, al igual que menores puntajes en el ashafacs. Conclusión: aun cuando no se evidencia una interacción entre el procesamiento de estímulos emocionales y el funcionamiento comunicativo y social, la valencia emocional influye en el procesamiento de palabras en los adultos mayores, con una preferencia y selectividad por los estímulos positivos.

funcionamento comunicativo e social na velhice envolve recursos cognitivos e emocio-nais. De acordo com a teoria da seletividade socioemocional (tss), os idosos têm afinidade por eventos positivos e cultivam suas habilidades emocionais. Objetivo: explorar a relação entre o funcionamento comunicativo e social e o processamento de estímulos emocionais em idosos. Materiais e métodos: idosos e jovens realizaram uma tarefa de decisão lexical computadorizada (cdt) e foram avaliados quanto ao seu funcionamento comunicativo. Resultados: houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas no fator de valência, com processamento mais rápido de estímulos com conteúdo emocional versus não emocio-nal (2196 = 36,39; p < 0,001). Em relação ao funcionamento comunicativo e social, ao compará-lo com o desempenho no tdl, evidenciou-se que os idosos obtiveram maiores tempos de reação e maiores taxas de erro no processamento dos estímulos, além de menores escores no asha-facs. Conclusão: não há evidência de interação entre o processamento de estímulos emocionais e o funcionamento comunicativo e social, a valência emocional influencia o processamento de palavras em idosos, com preferência e seletividade por estímulos positivos.

Self-regulation in youth with bipolar disorder

Objectives: To examine the composition of self-regulation in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) through the relationship between executive functions, emotion processing, and family environmental factors. Methods: 58 participants (36 with PBD and 22 controls), ages 12-17, were assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Conners' Continuous Performance Test (CPT-II), Wisconsin Cards Sorting Test (WCST), Computerized Neurocognitive Battery Emotion Recognition Test-Facial Emotion Recognition Test (PENNCNB ER-40), and Expressed Emotion Adjective Checklist Questionnaire (EEAC). Results: Adolescents with PBD displayed significant deficits in all three spheres when compared to the control group. Emotion processing correlated negatively with inhibition and attention, and correlated positively with mental flexibility/working memory. Family environmental factors correlated negatively with mental flexibility/working memory and emotion processing, and positively with attention and inhibition. These correlations indicate that better inhibitory control, attention, and mental flexibility/working memory are associated with greater emotion processing and a fitter family environment. Conclusion: This study is the first to investigate all of the components of self-regulation deficits simultaneously in patients with PBD. Results suggest that self-regulation is essential for a comprehensive perspective of PBD and should be assessed in an integrative and multifaceted way. Understanding that self-regulation is impacted by the abovementioned factors should influence treatment and improve the functional impairments of daily life observed in this population.

O processo civilizador e a busca da excitação no lazer: notas sociológicas / The civilizing process and the quest for excitement in leisure: sociological notes

Este ensaio objetiva discutir alguns aspectos do "processo civilizador" e do quadro teórico desenvolvido para subsidiar a investigação sociológica sobre o lazer. Neste contexto, são apresentadas algumas das críticas dirigidas à teoria figuracional, ao processo civilizador e, por extensão, ao quadro teórico sobre a busca da excitação no lazer. Norbert Elias e Eric Dunning dedicam uma atenção especial ao "espectro do tempo livre", no qual o lazer se contrapõe ao trabalho profissional e a várias outras atividades. Embora o estudo analisado contribua para ampliar o entendimento sobre a importância das emoções para as atividades de lazer, ele é passível de críticas que precisam ser apropriadas pelos estudiosos do lazer interessados nesta temática.

This theoretical essay aims to discuss some aspects of the "civilizing process" and the theoretical framework developed to support sociological research on leisure. In this context, some of the criticisms directed at figurational theory, the civilizing process and the theoretical framework on the search for excitement in leisure are presented. Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning pay special attention to the "Sparetime Spectrum", in which leisure is contrasted with professional work and various other activities. Although the study analyzed contributes to expanding the understanding of the importance of emotions for leisure activities, it is subject to criticism that needs to be addressed by leisure scholars interested in this topic.

From Lung to Brain: Respiration Modulates Neural and Mental Activity / 神经科学通报·英文版

Respiration protocols have been developed to manipulate mental states, including their use for therapeutic purposes. In this systematic review, we discuss evidence that respiration may play a fundamental role in coordinating neural activity, behavior, and emotion. The main findings are: (1) respiration affects the neural activity of a wide variety of regions in the brain; (2) respiration modulates different frequency ranges in the brain's dynamics; (3) different respiration protocols (spontaneous, hyperventilation, slow or resonance respiration) yield different neural and mental effects; and (4) the effects of respiration on the brain are related to concurrent modulation of biochemical (oxygen delivery, pH) and physiological (cerebral blood flow, heart rate variability) variables. We conclude that respiration may be an integral rhythm of the brain's neural activity. This provides an intimate connection of respiration with neuro-mental features like emotion. A respiratory-neuro-mental connection holds the promise for a brain-based therapeutic usage of respiration in mental disorders.

Implicit, But Not Explicit, Emotion Regulation Relieves Unpleasant Neural Responses Evoked by High-Intensity Negative Images / 神经科学通报·英文版

Evidence suggests that explicit reappraisal has limited regulatory effects on high-intensity emotions, mainly due to the depletion of cognitive resources occupied by the high-intensity emotional stimulus itself. The implicit form of reappraisal has proved to be resource-saving and therefore might be an ideal strategy to achieve the desired regulatory effect in high-intensity situations. In this study, we explored the regulatory effect of explicit and implicit reappraisal when participants encountered low- and high-intensity negative images. The subjective emotional rating indicated that both explicit and implicit reappraisal down-regulated negative experiences, irrespective of intensity. However, the amplitude of the parietal late positive potential (LPP; a neural index of experienced emotional intensity) showed that only implicit reappraisal had significant regulatory effects in the high-intensity context, though both explicit and implicit reappraisal successfully reduced the emotional neural responses elicited by low-intensity negative images. Meanwhile, implicit reappraisal led to a smaller frontal LPP amplitude (an index of cognitive cost) compared to explicit reappraisal, indicating that the implementation of implicit reappraisal consumes limited cognitive control resources. Furthermore, we found a prolonged effect of implicit emotion regulation introduced by training procedures. Taken together, these findings not only reveal that implicit reappraisal is suitable to relieve high-intensity negative experiences as well as neural responses, but also highlight the potential benefit of trained implicit regulation in clinical populations whose frontal control resources are limited.

Association between health literacy and depressive emotion among occupational groups in Shanghai / 环境与职业医学

Background At present, insufficient support for enterprise health environment and career development may lead to severe depressive emotion among occupational groups. Objective To investigate current state of depressive emotion and the relationship between health literacy and depressive emotion among occupational groups in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for formulating health management measures to alleviate depressive emotion among the occupational population. Methods This cross-sectional survey, using two-stage stratified sampling, was from December 2022 to February 2023, and selected 2548 active workers from 151 enterprises in Shanghai. A total of 2489 valid questionnaires were returned, with a recovery rate of 97.68%. Health literacy, internality health locus of control, and depressive emotion were evaluated by the Health Literacy Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale-Internality Health Locus of Control, and the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), respectively. R 4.2.2 software was used for statistical analysis, binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between health literacy, internality health locus of control, and the risk of depressive emotion, and multiple linear model was used to analyze the correlation between health literacy, internality health locus of control, and PHQ-9 related indicators (total score, affective score, and somatic score). Results A total of 2489 workers aged 18 years and above in Shanghai were included in the analysis, 868 of them reported depressive emotion, and the positive rate of depressive emotion was 34.9%. The total score, affective score, and somatic score of PHQ-9 in M(P25, P75) were 3.00 (0.00, 6.00), 1.00 (0.00, 4.00), and 1.00 (0.00, 3.00), respectively. The results of binary multiple logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for selected confounders, no health literacy (OR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.10, 1.60; P=0.004) and low level of internality health locus of control (OR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.35, 2.05; P < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of reporting depressive emotion. The results of multiple linear model showed that the lack of health literacy and low internality health locus of control were positively correlated with the total score, affective score, and somatic score of PHQ-9. Conclusion Depressive emotion among the working population in Shanghai is prominent, and more than 1/3 of them report depressive emotion. Lower health literacy and internality health locus of control are related to an increased risk of depressive emotion in the study population. Improving occupational health literacy and enhancing internality health locus of control are expected to prevent depressive emotion in occupational groups.

Path analysis of mediating effect of perceived stress affecting impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of perceived stress on the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury, and the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep. MethodsFrom March, 2022 to March, 2023, using the convenient sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 192 rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury from Southwest Hospital, Xinqiao Hospital and Daping Hospital. Assessment tools included Perceived Stress Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Brief Ruminative Response Scale, Self-Rating Scale of Sleep, and Impact of Event Scale-revised. ResultsPerceived stress, difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination, sleep and the impact of event were correlated with each other in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury (r = 0.447~0.684, P < 0.01). Perceived stress significant positively predicted the impact of event (β = 0.49, P < 0.001), as well as difficulties in emotion (β = 0.70, P < 0.001), rumination (β = 0.21, P < 0.05) and sleep (β = 0.29, P < 0.001). The direct effect of perceived stress on the impact of event was not significant, but it affected the impact of event through seven mediation paths, among which the independent mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep accounted for 24.41%, 11.91% and 24.82%, respectively; the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and rumination accounted for 13.88%, the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation and sleep accounted for 18.08%, the chain mediation effect size of rumination and sleep accounted for 3.17%, and the chain mediation effect size of difficulties in emotion regulation, meditation and sleep accounted for 3.70%. ConclusionPerceived stress affected the impact of event in rehabilitation patients with traumatic injury through the independent mediation and chain mediation of difficulties in emotion regulation, rumination and sleep.

Whole group sampling was conducted by class， and parents of students were surveyed by general questionnaire and the scale of strengths and difficulties. Information was collected on the basic conditions of children and families and the results were compared and analyzed. ResultsThis study showed that 88.26% of children attended extracurricular classes， of which 26.16% attended 3 or more classes， 42.5% attended cultural classes， 28.3% attended sports classes， and 59.8% attended art classes. Children who did not attend classes had higher pro-social scores. Children who attended reading class had lower scores for emotional problems that was a protective factor for emotional problems. Children who chose extracurricular programs in sports and reading also had lower overall scores for difficulties. Excessive use of electronic devices by school-age children on weekdays or weekends had a negative effect on emotional and conduct problem scores regardless of whether they chose extracurricular programs. It appeared that the choice of cultural programs， art programs and different levels of exercise intensity had no effect on children's emotions and behaviors. ConclusionFor children with low pro-social level， extracurricular classes should be carefully selected. For extracurricular classes， more reading and sports-related courses can be considered， which have positive effects on school-age children’s emotions and behaviors. Regardless of the choice of extracurricular classes， try to avoid excessive online classes.

The effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy for mental disorders / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as an important representative of the " third wave" of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), has been paid more attention. Since the publication of the treatment manual in 1993, DBT has been widely spread in several treatment settings, including outpatient, community, and inpatient settings, and has been applied to the diagnosis and treatment of various mental disorders. In recent years, more and more studies have proved that DBT has a clear effect on a variety of mental disorders and psychological and behavioral problems, especially the clinical problems related to emotion regulation. This article summarizes and evaluates the effectiveness of DBT in the treatment of mental disorders and discusses the limitations of the current research and the future development direction.

The influence of embodied emotion priming on the attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the effects of embodied emotion priming on attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency.Methods:From June to December 2018, a total of 91 college students with depression tendency were recruited to participate in the experiment.A 3(embodied emotion priming: positive priming, negative priming and no priming) × 2 (emotional face: happy and sad) mixed design was adopted to measure the attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency using the dot probe paradigm. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for repeated measurement analysis of variance.Results:In terms of attentional bias, the interaction effect between embodied emotion priming types and emotional faces was significant ( F(2, 88)=5.97, P=0.004, ηp2=0.119). Further simple effect analysis showed that, under the happy-face condition, participants' attentional bias reaction time(△RT) was significantly higher when primed with embodied positive emotion than those primed with embodied negative emotion((14.30±18.23)ms, (-6.53±38.17)ms, P<0.05). The participants' attentional bias △RT was significantly lower when primed with embodied negative emotion than participants with no priming ((-6.53±38.17)ms, (9.16±30.62)ms, P<0.05). Under the sad-face condition, the participants' attentional bias △RT was significantly higher when primed with embodied negative emotion((28.22±35.33)ms) than participants primed with embodied positive emotion((11.71±29.24)ms, P<0.05) and no priming ((7.63±30.60)ms, P<0.05). Conclusion:Embodied emotion priming can affect the attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency.
