Although the trait has been associated with physical health, most studies have been cross-sectional and failed to account for confounding variables. The present study tested the longitudinal relationship between trait mindfulness and physical health symptoms. Undergraduate student participants completed four surveys over a period of 3 months, in which they reported their trait mindfulness, physical symptoms (e.g. fatigue, stomachache), and cold symptoms (sore throat, congestion). Additionally, participants answered questions to assess general health, recent perceived stress, and trait neuroticism. Initial enrolment included 409 participants with 288 at Time 2, 218 at Time 3, and the final wave including 172 participants. Findings indicated that those higher in trait mindfulness reported fewer symptoms across all time points, regardless of general health, recent stress, or neuroticism, t(395) = -6.75, p < 0.001. By examining associations across time and covarying related variables, this study underscores the importance of trait mindfulness in predicting health outcomes. It is the largest longitudinal investigation of trait mindfulness and physical health symptoms in emerging adults. Future studies should explore pathways through which mindfulness influences symptoms.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147875707","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}

The recent COVID-19 pandemic was a period of high uncertainty, particularly for vulnerable people such as women in postpartum.Methods: Following the Self-Determination Theory, this study, spanning over 34 months, examined the relationships between the timeline of preventive health measures in which women had their children and their Basic Psychological Needs (BPN), as well as the role played by the fear of contracting the COVID-19 virus in these postpartum women. Participants were 1031 mothers living in Portugal.Findings: Results indicate that women who gave birth during the initial stages of the pandemic showed lower fear levels of being infected than their counterparts in the later stages; moreover, the latter showed lower satisfaction and higher frustration of BPN. Moreover, fear moderated the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions at the time points when mothers delivered their children and the satisfaction or frustration of the BPN for competence and relatedness needs, but not for autonomy.Discussion: Globally, findings suggest that using COVID-19 preventive restrictions timeline data may provide a preliminary basis for setting future guidelines that would help enhance women's postpartum BPN in situations of high uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147932869","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}

One untested possibility is that nocebo education promotes behaviour change, such that it decreases the likelihood one actively gathers treatment side-effect information. Decreasing the acquisition of side-effect information should reduce awareness of potential side effects, a key cause of nocebo effects.Methods: Three pre-registered online experiments with diverse community samples tested the hypothesis that nocebo education reduces the behavioural pursuit of side-effect information. In each study, participants were randomised to watch either a nocebo education video or a control video. Following this between-subjects manipulation, participants in Studies 1 (N = 181) and 2 (N = 183) were informed about a specific treatment and then given the opportunity to select among treatment-relevant information to read. In Study 3 (N = 185), participants self-generated two questions they wanted to ask about the treatment.Results: In all three experiments, nocebo education reduced behaviours associated with acquiring treatment side-effect information. Two of the three studies found evidence that the effect of nocebo education was statistically mediated by the self-reported desire to avoid side-effect information. Finally, receiving nocebo education did not reduce satisfaction with the acquired treatment information, did not increase side-effect expectations, and did not increase treatment anxiety.Conclusions: Nocebo education deters the pursuit of additional side-effect information, which could be a novel and useful approach for avoiding adverse nocebo effects.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147842113","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}

The follow-up questionnaire assessed completion and collected qualitative data on suggested improvements to support for participants.Results: In multivariate analysis, completing the AFC was predicted by: greater drink refusal self-efficacy; planning to stop drinking after the AFC; not living with other drinkers; and doing the AFC with others. In qualitative analysis, many suggestions for improving support for participants focused on the social impacts of AFC participation.Discussion: A novel contribution made by this study was identifying the importance of the social contexts in which individuals undertake AFCs.

Irritability associated with HD is variously attributed to neurological changes, an understandable response to increasing difficulties with cognition and communication, or a multifactorial combination of the two or more causes. To improve our understanding, we aimed to explore perspectives and lived experiences of irritability among individuals affected by HD.Methods and measures: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants (50% female) who were gene-positive for HD. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the resultant transcripts.Results: Three themes were generated: 'Navigating the complex multifactorial causes of irritability', which reflected participants' perceptions of causes and amplifiers of irritability; 'The tyranny of irritability', which explored how irritability was perceived as powerful and oppressive; and 'Ongoing efforts to resist irritability', which described how participants endeavoured to address irritability.Conclusion: Participants appeared to make sense of irritability as a biopsychosocial experience with multifactorial origins, suggesting the role of attribution theory in understanding their search for meanings and attempts at resistance.

Face-to-face and a combination of in-person and telephone client-centred counselling were found effective. Although the optimal treatment duration was unclear, interventions lasting six to twelve months were most beneficial. Interventions were delivered by registered dietitians, physicians, nutritionists, and health coaches. Most interventions (n = 14) were informed by social cognitive theory, with 19 studies incorporating cultural adaptations such as language considerations, socio-cultural values, constituent involvement, and leveraging target group experiences. Studies using at least two cultural adaptation strategies were more likely to be effective.Conclusion: Client-centred counselling appears promising for weight management in Black African women with overweight or obesity.

While various theories have been proposed to explain physical activity behaviour, most focus on explicit cognitions such as intention. The aim of this study is to apply the Multi-Process Action Control(M-PAC) model to Korean university students, examining the entire process from intention formation to behaviour implementation, while also investigating the predictive utility of the M-PAC framework for explaining physical activity behaviour.Methods: A total of 330 participants completed baseline surveys, which assessed constructs outlined in the M-PAC framework. One month later, 234 participants completed a follow-up survey to measure physical activity.Results: The study found that affective attitude, perceived opportunity and capability were significant predictors of intention in the reflective process. Intention, in turn, predicted physical activity through the sequential mediation of behavioural regulation in the regulatory process and identity and habit in the reflexive process, aligning with the theoretical flow of the M-PAC framework.Conclusion: The study highlights the roles of behavioural regulation, identity, and habit in translating intention into sustained physical activity. These findings underscore the need for interventions targeting both intention formation and the processes that sustain long-term engagement in physical activity.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"739-758"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586753","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}
