The sample consisted of 492 preservice teachers (308 female) from 10 different institutions in Turkey, who voluntarily provided data. The findings revealed that emotion regulation skills, particularly reappraisal, interacted with daily internet usage time in predicting internet addiction. High levels of reappraisal emotion regulation were linked to lower levels of internet addiction, regardless of the duration of internet use. Conversely, for individuals with lower reappraisal abilities, a positive correlation emerged between internet usage time and internet addiction. Furthermore, extracurricular study habits significantly contributed to the prediction of internet addiction in a positive way, as evidenced by both regression and correlational analyses. These findings underscore the importance of considering emotion regulation alongside study habits and other physiological factors to better understand and address internet addiction in preservice teachers.

The findings indicated that resilience does not significantly predict cyberbullying victimization. However, self-esteem and social networking site use were found to mediate this relationship both individually and jointly, whereas lover-centeredness did not emerge as a significant mediator. Moreover, self-esteem, lover-centeredness, and social networking site use demonstrated a significant combined mediating effect on the relationship between resilience and cyberbullying victimization. The multi-group analysis revealed that resilience significantly predicts lover-centeredness among individuals in a romantic relationship, but this prediction was not significant for those without a lover.

This study analyzed whether regular physical activity influences mental health indicators related to major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, and COVID-19-related anxiety and obsession among Brazilian adults during the pandemic. Additionally, social adjustment and health and disability were assessed to measure broader impacts of physical activity on daily functioning and quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic, an anxiogenic period. Participants completed sociodemographic, physical activity, and clinical surveys, along with standardized mental health scales: the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Brazilian version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS-BR), the COVID-19 Obsession Scale (PB-OCS), the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS), and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0). Descriptive analysis characterized the sample, while univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses of variance were conducted to explore the influence of physical activity and sex on mental health outcomes. The results indicated that women exhibited poorer mental health outcomes than men across most measures. Engaging in regular physical activity significantly reduced the risk of major depressive disorder in both women and men. Additionally, physically active women-but not men-had a lower likelihood of generalized anxiety and social adjustment impairments. Furthermore, individuals with longer engagement in physical activity (> 5 years) experienced greater mental health benefits compared to those with shorter engagement (< 5 years), particularly for depressive symptoms and generalized anxiety. This study highlights the protective effects of regular physical activity on mental health, with sex-specific differences in its impact. Long-term engagement in physical activity provides greater mental health benefits, reinforcing the importance of promoting sustained participation rather than short-term engagement.</p>","PeriodicalId":20658,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144064518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This would allow us to know the influence of this type of media on authors' personal recovery. Following PRISMA guidelines, an exhaustive search of four databases was conducted, using terms such as 'blog', 'vlog' and 'serious mental illness' among the most relevant. The selected articles were empirical studies, written in English, published in peer-reviewed journals from 2014 to 2024 and explored the use of blogs and vlogs by people with SMI and CMI. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Self-expression narratives on these platforms tend to be first-person and address issues such as stigma, barriers to treatment and self-management of symptoms. Key benefits include the creation of support networks, reduction of social isolation and individual empowerment, all of which are intrinsically related to personal recovery. However, risks were also identified, such as the possibility of employment discrimination and emotional vulnerability to negative comments.

The study, which was conducted in two phases at five-month intervals, included 325 adult participants aged 18-51. Longitudinal serial mediation analysis revealed that intolerance of uncertainty increases irrational happiness beliefs and mistake rumination over time, and these processes negatively affect family communication. The findings suggest that individuals' low tolerance for uncertainty may shape long-term psychological and relational dynamics through family interactions.
