However, few validation studies of self-reported sleep quality questionnaires were performed among shift workers. The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (B-PSQI) in a shift workers sample. In total, 443 Chinese male sailors were recruited, of whom 46.95% (<i>n</i> = 208) were watchstanding sailors on 18-hr working schedule at sea. All participants completed the B-PSQI, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale before and after a 30-day saling. Forty watchstanding sailors were selected to wear wrist actigraphy throughout the sailing. The results showed that the B-PSQI had acceptable internal consistency reliability in different sailor groups. Confirmatory factor analysis showed optimal fit of the single-factor model of the B-PSQI in different sailor groups. Furthermore, scalar invariance between watchstanding and day-working sailors was supported, as well as longitudinal scalar invariance across time. In addition, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the B-PSQI yields high discrimination power to detect poor sleep quality using ISI ≥ 8 criterion. However, a lack of intermethod agreement across the B-PSQI and actigraphy was found in this study. Moreover, the total scores of B-PSQI were positively related to depression and anxiety symptoms in the present sample. The B-PSQI is a reliable and valid sleep quality measure and a useful screening tool for sleep disorders among Chinese male sailors.

The current work describes the development and validation of a novel measure of desire intolerance. After initial item development and exploratory factor analysis (Study 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (Study 2), the 10-item unidimensional Desire Intolerance Questionnaire (DIQ) was created. Desire intolerance was conceptually related to low self-control (Studies 1-4) and both approach and avoidance motivation (Studies 2, 4, 5) and was distinct from delay of gratification (Study 3). Greater desire intolerance was also associated with higher distress intolerance (Studies 4 and 5). In Study 4, we used qualitative coding to explore what people were thinking about when they considered their \"desires.\" Findings revealed that higher desire intolerance was associated with thinking about desired long-term outcomes more than proximal short-term hedonic pleasures. Finally, Study 4 focused on unique and independent associations between desire and distress intolerance with psychopathology, and we found that both distress intolerance were associated with heightened psychological distress and borderline personality symptoms. Only distress intolerance was uniquely associated with uncontrolled eating and self-criticism, whereas only desire intolerance was uniquely associated with aggressive behavior and dichotomous thinking. The current research supports the DIQ as a psychometrically sound indicator of difficulties withstanding desires and allows for a better understanding of intolerance as a transdiagnostic clinical phenomena.

Folk psychiatry models propose that lay explanations of mental illness can be quantified along distinct moralizing, medicalizing, and psychologizing dimensions. The current project aimed to develop a trauma-specific measure capturing lay explanations of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on this framework. Data were collected from three samples of Mechanical Turk respondents (<i>N</i>₁ = 367; <i>N</i>₂ = 365; <i>N</i>₃ = 401) as well as an independent sample of university students (<i>N</i>₄ = 311). Factor analysis of the final, 13-item Folk Psychiatry Measure-PTSD (FPM-P) indicated close fit of a correlated three-factor model in MTurk and student respondents. Across samples, moralizing beliefs about PTSD (e.g., people with PTSD lack a moral compass) evidenced moderate-to-strong correlations with general attitudes toward those with mental illness, including positive associations with authoritarianism, social restrictiveness, blame, anger, and perceived dangerousness. Negative associations with benevolence and support for community-based care were also noted. Medicalizing beliefs (e.g., PTSD is caused by a chemical imbalance) demonstrated more modest associations with negative attitudes, as noted through weak correlations with increased authoritarianism, anger, and lower benevolence toward those experiencing psychological difficulties. Finally, psychologizing explanations (e.g., people with poor relationships and low social support are at greater risk of developing PTSD) evidenced weak but positive associations with benevolence and pity for those with mental health concerns. Implications and cultural-based nuances of the scale are discussed.

Child and family COVID-19 impact emerged as risk factors for reduced EF for the transition cohort but not the post-COVID cohort.

Parents of young children (<i>N</i> = 216) completed the EPII, Perceived Stress Scale, Parenting Stress Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS-PA and PANAS-NA), and COVID-19 Stress Scale (CSS) online September 2021-May 2022.

Hierarchical linear regression results revealed that one EPII scoring method consistently accounted for the greatest amount of variance in each outcome variable (largest R2) compared to the other two scoring methods. Additionally, number of negative and positive pandemic impacts accounted for more variance (larger β coefficient) in each outcome compared to demographic factors and CSS, with the exception that negative pandemic impacts were not associated with PANAS-PA. One method of scoring the EPII may maximize the measures' potential to account for variance in stress and mood among parents of young children. The EPII may be a valuable measure to include in studies examining the impact of the pandemic on parents' well-being even beyond the peak of the pandemic, as its association with stress and mood appears to be long-lasting and independent of demographic factors and COVID-19 stress.
