OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis assesses cognitive functioning in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia post-treatment who were treated with either chemotherapy-only (CT-only) or in combination with radiation therapy (CTRT). METHODS: The databases Pubmed and PsychInfo were searched between 1-1-2000 and 31-12-2021. Data were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2). RESULTS: Mean weighted intelligence after treatment was 100.2 (number of studies n = 51, 95% CI: 98.8-101.5). For CT-only, it was 100.8 (95% CI: 99.5-102.2) and for CTRT 97.8 (95% CI: 95.9-100.2). Compared to recruited healthy controls, treated children had on average lower IQ scores (n = 23, mean difference -7.8, 95% CI: -10.7 to -5.0, p

Background: A growing body of empirical research shows that suicidal behaviors are prevalent in childhood. Yet, few studies have examined risk factors related to suicidal ideation (SI) among children aged 12 and younger. Aims: The current study addresses this gap. Method: A questionnaire was filled out by 1,350 Flemish primary caregivers (94.7% mothers) of 9-year-old children (50.4% boys, Mage = 9.45). Their responses were analyzed using logistic regression and independent samples t tests. Results: The presence of passive SI was reported in 10.5% of the children. A psychiatric, developmental, or behavioral condition (or multiple conditions), a learning disorder, impulsivity, aggression, and experiencing multiple stressful family life events were discovered as potential risk factors of passive SI in childhood. Limitations: The cross-sectional nature of this study meant that causality could not be inferred. In addition, it was based on reports of primary caregivers, rather than on reports from the children themselves. Conclusion: These new empirical findings can be used for the development of prevention programs and be taken into account in risk assessments of SI in clinical practice. Confirmation of our findings in a longitudinal child-reported study is needed. ispartof: CRISIS-THE JOURNAL OF CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SUICIDE PREVENTION vol:44 issue:2 ispartof: location:Canada status: published

Psychological factors and adverse childhood events at an early age have been poorly investigated in relation to risky eating behavior and obesity. The importance of this relationship grows as these behaviors are becoming public health problems. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effects of interrelated psychological factors such as childhood negative life events, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and impulsivity on eating behaviors in a university student sample in Turkey. A total of 414 undergraduate students (60.4% women) in Turkey, completed the Turkish versions of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) to assess emotional eating and external eating and the CDC-Kaiser Permanent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BSI-11). Structural equation models (SEM) were used to evaluate whether depressive/anxiety symptoms could be a mediator between impulsivity and emotional eating/external eating. Childhood adverse events were both weakly correlated with eating behavior and impulsivity measures (r = .18,r = .275, p

INTRODUCTION: Media guidelines for the responsible reporting of suicide are a recognized universal suicide prevention intervention. While implemented in numerous countries, including Australia, little is known about whether they are cost-effective. We aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of Mindframe, the national initiative implementing media guidelines in Australia. METHOD: We conducted a modelled economic evaluation (5-year time-horizon) incorporating two types of economic analysis: (i) return-on-investment (ROI) comparing estimated cost savings from the intervention to the total intervention cost, and (ii) cost-effectiveness analysis comparing the net intervention costs to health outcomes: suicide deaths prevented and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). We also included uncertainty analyses to propagate parameter uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to test the robustness of the model outputs to changes in input parameters and assumptions. RESULTS: The estimated ROI ratio for the main analysis was 94:1 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 37 to 170). The intervention was associated with cost savings of A$596M (95% UI: A$228M to A$1,081M), 139 (95% UI: 55 to 252) suicides prevented and 107 (95% UI: 42 to 192) QALYs gained. The intervention was dominant, or cost-saving, compared with no intervention with results being robust to sensitivity analysis but varying based on the conservativeness of the parameters entered. CONCLUSION: Mindframe was found to be cost-saving, and therefore, worthy of investment and inclusion as part of national suicide prevention strategies. ispartof: SUICIDE AND LIFE-THREATENING BEHAVIOR vol:52 issue:5 pages:1048-1057 ispartof: location:England status: published

Faulty eyewitness testimony can be a notorious source of mistakes in the legal system potentially leading to wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice. The current study examined the knowledge of a sample of police officers (n = 270) and psychologists (n = 63) in Indonesia regarding factors known to influence the validity of eyewitness testimony given by adults and children. Previous studies have documented that police and psychologists in Western countries have less-than-optimal knowledge about the psychology of eyewitness testimony. Similarly, our non-Western sample also demonstrated a lack of knowledge that may be damaging in the legal context such as the belief that recall of minor details indicates accuracy of memory. For both adult and child eyewitnesses, the psychologists performed significantly better than the police but at the item level these differences were small in size. Intriguingly, we also found that psychologists were more likely than the police officers to endorse the item about repression of memories. The findings show the need for teaching on the psychology of eyewitness testimony for professional groups involved in the legal arena.

Legal psychologists’ assessments can have a major impact on the fact finder’s evaluation of evidence and, consequently, perceptions of guilt. Yet, in the few studies about legal psychologists’ assessments and reports, great variability was found. As is the case with other forensic expert domains, legal psychologists are prone to cognitive biases, such as being adversely affected by irrelevant contextual information, confirmation bias, and allegiance bias. Based on the scientific literature, we propose several ways in which legal psychologists can minimize cognitive biases in their assessments, most notably the alternative scenario method. Furthermore, we propose guidelines for expert witnesses in the legal psychological domain, designed to make reports as scientifically grounded, applicable, readable, transparent, and bias-free as possible. We hope that the guidelines will enhance the quality of expert witness testimony provided by legal psychologists around the world.

Emotional bias in explicit memory is theorized to play a prominent role in the etiology, maintenance, and recurrence of depression. Even though this cognitive bias is regarded as one of the most robust phenomena in depression, its magnitude and boundary conditions in depression are currently unknown. This review presents two three-level meta-analyses to estimate the overall effect size and identify moderators of explicit memory bias in depression. Meta-analysis I (153 studies, 686 contrasts) revealed a small overall effect size for naturalistic explicit memory bias in depression (g=0.241, 95% CI [0.179, 0.304]). The magnitude of the overall effect was moderated by emotional valence of stimuli, operational definition of memory bias, depth of processing during encoding, explicit memory task, and the (non-)verbal nature of stimuli. Equivalent effect sizes were found for minors and adults as well as for clinical and subclinical depression. Remarkably, a non-significant effect size emerged for remitted depression. Following up on the latter finding, meta-analysis II (21 studies, 80 contrasts) examined explicit memory bias in remitted depression under naturalistic conditions and under mood/stress induction. Results yielded a nonsignificant overall effect size, g=0.131, 95% CI [-0.045, 0.307], but a significant effect size for study conditions with mood or stress induction, g=0.273, 95% CI [0.004, 0.542]. Both meta-analyses indicated high levels of heterogeneity, even after accounting for variation explained by sample and study characteristics. The findings are consistent with the view that depression is characterized by an explicit memory bias that may persist beyond a depressive episode. These findings have implications for cognitive theories of vulnerability to depression as well as clinical interventions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has effected many aspects of people's lives including health, economy, and social life. Another area of life that is thought to be effected by the COVID-19 pandemic but has not yet been adequately studied is the career of individuals. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of visions about the future (hope, optimism, pessimism) in the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and career distress. The participants of the research consist of 331 individuals. Participants' ages range from 18-29 (21.43, SD = 1.86). The data collected within the scope of the purpose of the research were analyzed with the structural equation modeling method. According to the results obtained from the analysis, it was found that the fear of COVID-19 negatively effects visions about the future. However, visions about the future mediates the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and career distress. Visions about the future have been shown to have a fully mediating role in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and career distress. The findings were discussed in light of the literature., The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of people's lives including health, economy, and social life.

Research and knowledge related to psychosocial processes experienced by Turkish Veterans with disabilities and the factors that facilitate adapting to life with a disability are insufficient. This study aims to explore the psychosocial processes and coping resources experienced by Turkish Veterans with disabilities. A grounded theory design was used in the study. Snowball sampling and theoretical sampling were used to recruit participants. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 male participants. The data were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding and formed into themes and categories. The results were explained within the framework of the following themes: the moment of returning from the threshold of death, treatment process, returning to life after war, acceptance, and holding on to life. The analysis revealed that the participants experienced problems, such as post-traumatic stress, the inadequacy of psychosocial functioning, social disapproval, and alienation during the adaptation to life after war. Further, coping resources such as positive personality traits, spiritual coping, making sense of experience, state assurance, and family and fellow Veterans support were found to facilitate the adaptation process.

IntroductionAfter the decision to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, athletes had to adjust to a novel situation with feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, this study was the first to examine whether different motivational profiles among Paralympic athletes can be identified, and to link these profiles with the athletes’ emotional, cognitive, and performance-related outcomes in times of a pandemic.MethodsFive months before the start of the Paralympic Games, the participants (N = 32; mean age = 33.2 ± 6.8 years) completed an online questionnaire measuring their demographics, basic psychological needs, perceived stress, depressive symptoms, general well-being, and motivational self-regulation strategies. Two months after the Games, they completed a second online questionnaire measuring their actual and perceived performance at the past Games.ResultsThrough K-means cluster analysis, three distinct clusters were identified based on the athletes’ dominant type of motivation, these are, dominantly amotivated (n = 11), autonomously motivated (n = 12), and controlled motivated (n = 9). Comparisons of athletes’ emotional, cognitive, and performance-related outcomes depending on their motivational profile revealed that the athletes with a dominantly amotivated profile had the least adaptive outcomes (i.e., low need satisfaction, high need frustration, and more depressive symptoms). Athletes with a dominantly autonomously motivated profile made less use of controlling self-motivating strategies compared to the other two profiles. Moreover, their actual performance at the Paralympic Games was better.DiscussionAlthough none of the athletes were at severe risk for depression or showed extremely high levels of stress, these results confirm that improving the quality of athletes’ motivation can safeguard their well-being and enhance performance in Paralympic Sports.

OBJECTIVE: Identity formation was investigated in adolescent and emerging adult cancer survivors from a (neo-)Eriksonian perspective by comparing survivors to control participants. In survivors, associations between identity and clinical/demographical variables and general and illness-specific functioning were investigated. DESIGN: Childhood cancer survivors (n = 125; Mage: 19.54; 47% male) were matched on age and gender with healthy controls (2:1). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All participants completed identity questionnaires. Survivors reported on demographics, well-being (depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, physical functioning), and illness-specific experiences (PTSS, illness centrality, cancer self-identity, benefit finding, cancer-related worries). Medical records provided clinical information. RESULTS: Survivors did not differ from controls on identity synthesis or confusion or on the identity statuses resulting from cluster analysis on the identity dimensions (achievement, foreclosure, moratorium, diffusion). Identity synthesis related to better well-being and illness experiences, whereas confusion related to worse well-being and illness experiences. Youth in moratorium and diffusion reported lower well-being and more negative illness experiences. Associations between identity and demographical and clinical characteristics were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed no significant differences in identity formation between cancer survivors and controls. However, survivors who struggle in their identity quest should be identified as they are at risk for poorer well-being and negative illness experiences. ispartof: PSYCHOLOGY & HEALTH vol:38 issue:1 pages:55-72 ispartof: location:England status: published

Analysis has proven that transformational leadership positively affecting the workflow experience. It has also been confirmed that perceived job uncertainty has a moderator role in the relationship between these two variables. It was concluded that the effect of transformational leadership on the flow experience decreases when the uncertainty is high.Originality: In this research, it has been determined that transformational leadership has an effect on the flow experiences of employees. Therefore, the study is the first to explain the effect of the transformational leadership style, which has an important place in the literature, on the flow experience. In addition, the role of perceived job uncertainty in this relationship also confirms that moderator variables may have an effect in explaining the relationships between variables.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between personality traits (“dark” (i.e. Dark Triad) and “bright” (i.e. HEXACO)) and vocational interests (i.e. RIASEC) in individualist (UK) culture (Hofstede, 1991; Schwartz, 2006), achieved by considering Individualism-Collectivism (I-C) Theory within a group of undergraduate samples in the UK. The participants were 445 individualist undergraduate students. The results provide suggestions: Apart from other relations, Extraversion (part of ‘bright’ side) and Dark Triad personality traits are positively, while Honesty-humility (part of ‘bright’ side) is negatively related with Enterprising, suggesting that these could be considered together when examining the relationship between personality and vocational interests.

The current study investigates the moderating effect of employee growth climate on the relationship between work engagement and job outcomes among plantation workers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Three individual-level job outcomes are investigated, namely, intra-role behavior, employee learning, and innovative work behavior. Six hundred and seven Indonesian plantation workers from one of the biggest palm oil plantations in Indonesia participated. Work engagement and employee growth climate were positively related to the three types of job outcomes, as expected. Furthermore, the relationship between work engagement-intra-role behavior and work engagement-innovative work behavior was moderated by employee growth climate. However, no moderating effect of employee growth climate was observed for the relationship between work engagement-employee learning. Thus, organizations may create programs to foster employee growth climate and aware of their employees' learning behaviors. ispartof: FRONTIERS IN PSYCHOLOGY vol:13 ispartof: location:Switzerland status: published

Objectives: Employees' job satisfaction and organizational commitment is very important for the steady growth and development of an organization. Today, with the increase in the competitive environment, the attempts of organizations to understand how to ensure this stability have also increased. Also, it is seen that the high psychological capital of the employees and their dissent behavior increase the performance, while the high organizational power distance both reduces the performance and constitutes an obstacle in exhibiting the organizational dissent behavior. It is known that one of the most important factors contributing to the growth and development of organizations is that employees’ expression of the problems that arise in the functioning of the organization and their dissatisfaction. There are many individual, relational and organizational factors that affect organizational dissent, which expresses the ability of employees to express their views openly. One of the individual factors is the psychological capital level of the employees, and one of the organizational factors is the perceived organizational power distance. The concept of psychological capital expresses the individual's awareness of who he is and his cognitive capacity. Positive psychological capital has defined as a new movement that goes beyond economic capital, which refers to what we have, human capital, which refers to what we know, and social capital, which refers to who we know, to express who we are. According to this approach, discovering the strengths of individuals and enabling them to reveal these strengths in the most effective way contributes to individual well-being, while positively reflecting on performance and increasing productivity. Positive psychological capital provides competitive advantage by enriching the knowledge and human capital at the individual and organizational level. Organizational power distance is related to how the power balance in the subordinate-superior relationship is perceived. The concept of power distance was first aimed to explain the structure of societies. In the concept of organizational power distance, the inequality of power distribution between superiors and subordinates in organizations is mentioned. The participation of the members of the organization in organizational decisions, the level of initiative and responsibility also express the power distance. Studies have shown that high psychological capital increases organizational dissent behavior, while high power distance reduces dissent behavior. Accordingly, this research aimed to give insight for organizational communication by examining the relationships between perceived organizational power distance, psychological capital and organizational dissent. Design/methodology/approach: The sample of the study consists of 300 participants who voluntarily participated in the study with the snowball sampling method. Demographic form, organizational power distance scale, organizational dissent scale and psychological capital scale were used to gather data.Results: Findings showed that there is a significant and positive relationship between organizational dissent and psychological capital. Also it has founded that there is a negative significant relationship between organizational power distance and psychological capital, organizational dissent. Practical implications: This research draws attention to the importance of individual factors such as psychological capital in organizational communication. It provides an empirical basis for the initiatives of workplaces to increase the psychological capital levels of their employees. In addition, by drawing attention to the spread of organizational dissent culture, it paves the way for organizations to conduct cultural analysis.Originality/value: In the Turkish sample, organizational dissent, perceived organizational power distance and psychology capital concepts are evaluated together and it has a unique value in terms of being a research that reveals empirical data with quantitative study., Amaç: Örgütlerin büyümesine ve gelişmesine katkıda bulunan en önemli faktörlerden birinin, örgütsel muhalefet olduğu ve çalışanların örgütün işleyişinde ortaya çıkan sorunları ve memnuniyetsizliklerini ifade etmeleri olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu araştırma, algılanan örgütsel güç mesafesi, psikolojik sermaye ve örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkileri ampirik açıdan inceleyerek örgütsel iletişim konusuna yeni bir içgörü kazandırmayı amaçlamıştır.Tasarım/Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile çalışmaya katılan 300 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında demografik form, örgütsel güç uzaklığı ölçeği, örgütsel muhalefet ölçeği ve psikolojik sermaye ölçeği kullanılmıştır.Sonuçlar: Bulgular örgütsel muhalefet ile psikolojik sermaye arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönde, algılanan örgütsel güç mesafesi ile psikolojik sermaye ve örgütsel muhalefet arasında negatif anlamlı bir ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.Uygulama Çıkarımları: Bu araştırma, örgütsel iletişimde psikolojik sermaye gibi bireysel faktörlerin önemine ve örgütsel muhalefet kültürünün yaygınlaşmasına dikkat çekerek çalışanların psikolojik sermaye düzeylerinin artırılmasına yönelik eğitimlerin oluşturulmasına ve örgütlerin kültür analizlerini yapabilmelerine ampirik bir zemin hazırlayarak ön ayak olmaktadır. Özgün Değer: Türkiye örnekleminde örgütsel muhalefet, algılanan örgütsel güç mesafesi ve psikoloji sermaye kavramlarını bir arada değerlendirerek nicel çalışma ile ampirik veri ortaya koyan bir araştırma olması açısından özgün bir değer taşımaktadır.

People are often exposed to fake news. Such an exposure to misleading information might lead to false memory creation. We examined whether people can form false memories for COVID-19-related fake news. Furthermore, we investigated which individual factors might predict false memory formation for fake news. In two experiments, we provided participants with two pieces of COVID-19-related fake news along with a non-probative photograph. In Experiment 1, 41% (n = 66/161) of our sample reported at least one false memory for COVID-19-related fake news. In Experiment 2, even a higher percentage emerged (54.9%; n = 185/337). Moreover, in Experiment 2, participants with conspiracy beliefs were more likely to report false memories for fake news than those without such beliefs, irrespective of the conspiratorial nature of the materials. Finally, while well-being was found to be positively associated with both true and false memories (Experiment 1), only analytical thinking was negatively linked to the vulnerability to form false memories for COVID-19-related fake news (Experiment 2). Overall, our data demonstrated that false memories can occur following exposure to fake news about COVID-19, and that governmental and social media interventions are needed to increase individuals' discriminability between true and false COVID-19-related news. ispartof: FRONTIERS IN PSYCHOLOGY vol:13 ispartof: location:Switzerland status: published

Religion and psychology have been perceived as two separate disciplines that have been difficult to integrate into each other in the last seventy years. Although there wasn’t any intensity in the studies examining the relationship between these two variables until the 2000s, it is noteworthy that the studies conducted have increased in number to the present day. In our country, it has been determined that the studies on the subject have increased significantly, especially in the last twenty years. There has been a need for a literature review on these studies, which have recently attracted the attention of researchers and are increasing day by day in the field. It is obvious that the importance of working on seeing which subjects are concentrated on and what are the subjects that have never been taken part in studies related to psychopathology and religion. This study has been conducted on the internet. Although the current research is limited to this scope, it fills a very important gap since there has not been a literature review on this subject before. In this survey, in which studies on the relationship between religion and psychopathology between 1973-2022 were examined, 330 studies were reached (n=330). There have been 11 articles, theses and books from before 2000s when the studies are examined chronologically. 34 studies are identified to be conducted from 2000 to 2010. After 2010, a significant increase draws attention. When these are examined, it is seen that 148 thesis studies, 107 articles, 14 books and 7 papers have been actualized. The most frequently covered themes in these studies are; (121 items) anxiety, (45 items) depression, (50 items) addiction, (25 items) trauma, (20 items) OCD. Psychological disorders for which no research has been conducted are bipolar/mania disorder, specific phobias, panic attacks, agoraphobia, dissociative disorders and somatic symptoms, bulimia nervosa, sexual disorders and perversions such as fetishism, pedophilia, paraphilia, exibitionism, voyeurism, frottorism, sadism, masochism, paranoid, histrionic, avoidant, dependent personality disorders. It is recommended to to conduct research on these issues in future studies. At the same time, Islamophobia and suicide, which are outside of the limitations of this research, are not included because they are considered as psy-chopathological disorders. In the same way, research on keywords religion, religiosity and spirituality was carried out. It is recommended that future studies on a similar subject should go beyond the limitations of this study and render the subject more comprehensive., Aydınlanma dönemiyle dinin kaybettiği değer ve bilimin kazandığı önem ile birlikte din ve psikoloji, pozitivist bir anlayışla birbiri içine dahil etmekte güçlük çekilen iki ayrı disiplin olarak algılanmaktadır. 2000’li yıllara kadar din ve psikoloji arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışmalarda yoğunluk olmasa da günümüze yaklaştıkça yapılan çalışmaların arttığı dikkatleri çekmektedir. Ülkemizde ise konu hakkında yapılan çalışmaların özellikle son yirmi yıl içerisinde önemli ölçüde hız kazandığı tespit edilmiştir. Günümüze yaklaştıkça araştırmacıların ilgisini çeken ve alanda günbegün artan bu çalışmalara dair literatür taraması yapma ihtiyacı doğmuştur. Psikopatoloji ve dini ilgilendiren çalışmalarda yoğunluğun hangi konularda olduğu ve en çok eksik kalan çalışmaların neler olduğunu görme konusunda çalışmanın önemi açıktır. Bu çalışma internet tabanlı yürütülmüştür. Mevcut araştırma bu kapsamla sınırlandırılmış olsa da daha önce böyle bir çalışma yürütülmediği için alanda çok önemli bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır. 1973-2022 yılları arasında din ve psikopatoloji ilişkisine dair yapılan çalışmaların incelendiği bu taramada 330 tane araştırmaya ulaşılmıştır (n=330). Bunlar kronolojik olarak incelendiğinde 2000 öncesinde yapılan; 11 makale, tez ve kitaba ulaşılmıştır. 2000’den 2010’lara kadar ise 34 çalışma bulunurken, 2010’dan sonra ciddi bir artış dikkatleri çekmektedir. Bunlar incelendiğinde 148 adet tez çalışması, 107 adet makale, 14 adet kitap ve 7 adet bildirinin yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmalarda en sık işlenen temalar; (121 adet) kaygı, (45 adet) depresyon, (50 adet) bağımlılık, (25 adet) travma, (20 adet) OKB’dir. Herhangi bir araştırmanın yapılmadığı psikopatolojiler ise bipolar/mani/iki uçlu bozukluk, özgül fobiler, panik atak, agorafobi, disosyatif bozukluklar ve bedensel belirtiler, bulumiya nervoza ve tıkınırcasına yeme, fetişizm, pedofili, gözetlemecilik, göstermecilik, sürtünmecilik, sadizm ve mazoşizm gibi cinsel bozukluk ve sapkınlıklar, paranoid, histriyonik, çekingen, bağımlı kişilik bozukluklarından oluşmaktadır. Gelecek çalışmalara bu konularda araştırmalar yapmaları tavsiye edilmektedir. Aynı zamanda bu araştırmanın sınırlılıkları dışında kalan İslamofobi ve intihar durumları psikopatolojik rahatsızlık olarak sayıldığı için yer verilmemiştir. Yine dine ait; din, dini, dindarlık ve manevi kelimeleri üzerinden araştırma yürütülmüştür. Benzer konuda yapılacak gelecek araştırmalara, çalışmanın bu sınırlılıklarını aşarak konuyu daha kapsamlı yapmaları önerilmektedir.

Divorce, in brief, can be described as the legal dissolution of marriage between the spouses. High-conflict divorce or parental separation, the children might be able to develop an alienation state towards the targeted parent because of a parent’s denigration against the other one through his/her words, behaviors, and attitudes with rage/anger, and by being precluded from the rights of personal contact with that parent. Literature on divorce, parental alienation (parental alienation syndrome) is conceptualized as a dynamic process resulting in forming a strong alliance with one of the childrens’ parents (alienating parent) and the denial of communication with the other parent (the targeted or the alienated parent) without any legitimate reason especially in high-conflict divorce suits and It is indicated that the process is a type of emotional abuse for the children. The goal of this paper is to review the dynamic interactions of the factors which are considered effective during the parental alienation process from the ecological system theory perspective. The general specifications of the parental alienation concept are emphasized and the common effects of the alienation on the children with the risk factors that might affect the parental alienation process in each system level (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, chronosystem) are examined., Boşanma, kısaca, eşler arasında evliliğin hukuki açıdan sona erdirilmesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Çatışmalı ayrılık veya boşanma davalarında, ebeveynlerden birinin öfke/kızgınlık hissiyle birlikte sözleri, davranışları ve tutumlarıyla diğer ebeveyni kötülemesi, çocuklarının bu ebeveyniyle olan kişisel görüşme haklarını engellemesi sonucunda çocuklar, hedefteki ebeveyne karşı yabancılaşma geliştirebilmektedir. Alanyazında ebeveyn yabancılaşması (ebeveyne yabancılaşma sendromu), özellikle yüksek çatışmalı boşanma davalarında çocukların ebeveynlerinden biriyle (yabancılaştıran ebeveyn) güçlü bir şekilde ittifak kurması ve herhangi bir meşru gerekçe olmaksızın diğer ebeveyniyle (hedefteki veya yabancılaşılan ebeveyn) ilişki kurmayı reddetmesiyle sonuçlanan dinamik bir süreç olarak kavramsallaştırılmakta ve çocuklar açısından bu sürecin duygusal istismarın bir türü olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu derlemede ebeveyn yabancılaşması sürecinde etkili olabileceği düşünülen faktörlerin dinamik etkileşimlerinin ekolojik sistem kuramı perspektifiyle gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada, ebeveyn yabancılaşması kavramının genel özellikleri üzerinde durulmuş ve her bir sistem düzeyinde (mikrosistem, mezosistem, ekzosistem, makrosistem, kronosistem) ebeveyne yabancılaşma sürecini etkileyebilecek risk faktörleri ile yabancılaşmanın çocuk üzerindeki genel etkileri gözden geçirilmiştir.

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has been effectively employed in several settings, ranging from health care needs to leisure and gaming activities. A new application of virtual stimuli appeared in social media: in the documentary 'I met you' from the South-Korean Munhwa Broadcasting, a mother made the experience of interacting with the avatar of the seven-year-old daughter, who died four years before. We think that this new application of virtual stimuli should open a debate on its possible implications: it represents contents related to grief, a dramatic and yet natural experience, that can have deep psychological impacts on fragile subjects put in virtual environments. In the present work, possible side-effects, as well as hypothetical therapeutical application of VR for the treatment of mourning, are discussed. ispartof: CURRENT PSYCHOLOGY vol:42 issue:11 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Depression has a devastating impact on young people around the world. This impact is pervasive and long-long lasting, still causing havoc as young people transition into adulthood. Prevention and timely early intervention efforts are necessary to lessen the disease burden of depression in young people. There is some evidence for the effectiveness of existing prevention and early intervention programs when delivered early. However, there is no consensus on what the active ingredients of these programs are. Identifying these ingredients is important because focusing on those that have maximal benefit will help to minimise the costs and resourcing of (already intensive) therapeutic approaches. We explored whether, and in what circumstances, affective awareness (i.e., knowing how one feels) is a candidate for protecting against and decreasing vulnerability to depression in young people. We specifically looked at how Ecological Momentary Assessment methods (EMA) were used to measure and/or increase affective awareness. We integrated three streams of data, including narrative review findings, perspectives from young people and psychologists, and publicly available information online (e.g., discussion forums). Across data sources, we found converging evidence that affective awareness is important in the prevention and early intervention of depression although there were considerable gaps in knowledge. More work needs to be done with young people and their health care teams to build affective awareness in the right way, at the right time, with individual differences in mind. The identification of how EMA can be best incorporated into young people’s lives to facilitate these outcomes is also needed.
