We addressed this gap in knowledge by testing a new operationalisation that incorporates the three necessary and sufficient conditions of bedtime procrastination.

For the following 7-days, participants self-assessed their 24-h sleep metrics, goal-regulatory variables, and psychological needs.Results: The bedtime discrepancy scores from the new assessment correlate in expected direction with sleep quantity and chronotype. However, our findings pertaining to motivational correlates of bedtime procrastination showed low compatibility with our expectations.Discussion: We introduced a new operationalisation of bedtime procrastination that aligns with its definition, and which can complement existing approaches that primarily encompass trait-like elements. Incorporating all three necessary and sufficient conditions of bedtime procrastination at the daily level suggests previous prevalence estimates of this sleep-related behaviour obtained with trait-like operationalisations may be overestimated. The low compatibility between our expectations regarding the motivational antecedents of bedtime procrastination suggest a need for congruence between the levels at which antecedents are captured with this sleep-related behaviour.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study explored the perspectives of patients with FD and clinicians who treat them on the use of digital CBT-based interventions.Methods and measures: This qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with 21 patients with FD and 10 clinicians. Iterative, inductive thematic analysis was conducted.Results: Three patient themes were developed: (1) their experiences contributing to coping difficulties, emphasising the complexity of self-management; (2) a desire for more personalised options, highlighting the need for accessible, FD-tailored CBT; and (3) concerns regarding human contact, safety, usability, and data security. Four clinician themes were also developed: (1) digital CBT bridges a gap in psychological support within gastroenterology; (2) perceived clinical utility of CBT; (3) digital CBT allows patient self-management; and (4) clinical concerns, including symptom tracking and patient safety.Conclusion: Both patients and clinicians recognised the value and utility of digital CBT for FD.

This method examined what was produced as a problem, and the underpinning discourses, subject positions, paradigms, desired outcomes, and absences within these problem categories.Results: Four problematisations were identified, (1) the problem of data privacy (subproblems: type of data, consent, abortion surveillance); (2) the problem with efficacy (subproblems: evaluating efficacy, accuracy, useability); (3) the problem of regulation (subproblems: self-surveillance, normative femininity, hormonal imperative, cycle regularity imperative, menstrual stigma); and (4) the problem of women (subproblems: health literacy, technology use, medically unknown, hard to design for).Conclusion: MTA researchers would benefit from understanding their field through these problematisations.

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) offers opportunities for retired and non-working adults to take part in meaningful non-sedentary activities that may not be available to them in their natural environment. Using the behaviour change wheel and theoretical domains framework, an IVR intervention prototype was developed. This study aimed to explore and optimise the prototype with retired and non-working adults. A secondary aim was to explore participants' perceptions of IVR more generally.Methods and measures: Five semi-structured mini-focus group interviews were conducted with 12 retired and non-working adults. Each group explored the intervention prototype together and discussed their experiences afterwards. A rapid analysis and reflexive thematic analysis (TA) were conducted on the data.Results: Several feasible intervention design changes were generated through the rapid analysis. The reflexive TA generated three themes relating to participants' past experiences reducing their time spent sedentary, how they experienced the intervention prototype as a means to reduce their time spent sedentary, and their perspectives on using such an intervention in the future.Conclusion: The results indicate that retired and non-working adults may enjoy using IVR to reduce sedentary time but generally favour natural experiences when possible.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142953925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This abortion stigma is likely more prevalent in U.S. cultures of honour (primarily southern and western states), where women's reputation for sexual purity is paramount to their status. To test this possibility, we examined the relationship between honour and abortion-related outcomes at both the state and individual levels. At the state-level, we found that abortion rates were lower in honour (v. dignity) states after controlling for covariates. At the individual-level, we found that endorsement of feminine honour norms was associated with abortion stigma (Study 2) and indirectly linked with support for abortion concealment through anticipated stigma and shame (Study 3). Lastly, using a series of vignettes describing different scenarios in which a woman received an abortion (e.g. rape, relationship difficulties), we found that feminine honour endorsement was associated with decreased support for abortions and stigmatising attitudes toward the woman receiving an abortion (Study 4). Findings elucidate the relationship between honour norms and social stigma around abortion and enhance insights into how cultural processes may influence women's decision making and access to care.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142953924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their coping methods were evaluated by asking how common it was for them to act in certain ways when they encountered stressful situations. We used linear regression analysis to examine the associations between coping methods and BMI, and latent growth models to analyze the BMI trajectories.Results: The prevalence of stress-induced eating was higher among women than men throughout the follow-up, whereas stress-induced drinking was more common among men at 22 and 32 years of age. Stress-induced eating was associated with higher BMI at all ages among women, and from the age of 32 among men. Eating as a persistent coping method over the life course was associated with a higher and faster growth rate of BMI trajectories.
