Prior meta-analytic reviews seldom considered both anticipated pleasure and anticipated displeasure. We conducted a three-level meta-analysis on anticipated pleasure and displeasure in people with schizophrenia and depression, and their subclinical counterparts. Clinical and subclinical individuals of the schizophrenia spectrum reported less anticipated pleasure than controls (k = 37, 1464 participants, g = -0.22, p = 0.032), but reported similar anticipated displeasure as controls (k = 20, 769 participants, g = 0.09, p = 0.345). Clinical and subclinical individuals of depression anticipated less pleasure (k = 21, 1162 participants, g = -0.62, p = 0.003) and more displeasure (k = 15, 954 participants, g = 0.82, p = 0.033) than controls. Comparisons of the schizophrenia and depression samples yielded no significant difference for effect sizes of either anticipated pleasure or anticipated displeasure. For schizophrenia spectrum, heterogeneity of anticipated pleasure was explained by sociality of anticipated stimuli. For participants with depression, higher severity of depressive symptoms were associated with larger between-group effects on anticipated pleasure and displeasure. After accounting for publication bias, the between-group effects remained of a similar magnitude. We elucidated the patterns of impaired anticipated emotions in clinical and subclinical samples of the schizophrenia and depression. Social anticipated pleasure may be a potential screening target for schizophrenia, while impaired anticipated emotions may serve as a marker for depression.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 2","pages":"e70094"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13045473/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147594398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with controls, dance interventions significantly improved QoL (SMD [95% CI] = 0.62 [0.20, 1.05], p = 0.004) and reduced depressive symptoms (SMD [95% CI] = -0.81 [-1.50, -0.12], p = 0.02).

No overall effects were found for fatigue, pain, or body image, although modest fatigue reductions were observed in DPA programs ≥ 9 weeks. Dance interventions integrating physical activity, emotional expression, and social interaction may enhance QoL and psychological well-being in women with breast cancer, although evidence for improvements in physical symptoms remains limited.

The current study explores anxiety-academic performance associations across eight domain-general and domain-specific anxiety measures (tapping into trait, state, maths, spatial, and social anxiety, worry, and anxiety sensitivity, as well as symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD) and 13 school subjects in a large (N = ~800) sample of schoolchildren (Mage = 15.26), selected for high achievement in STEM, Arts, Sports, and Literature. Our data showed that all anxiety measures load onto single general anxiety factor, explaining 51% of variance; and suggesting substantive amount of unique variance in each measure. Regression analysis showed that domain-general anxiety (e.g., trait anxiety and GAD symptoms) did not explain much variance in academic outcomes, while domain-specific anxiety explained variance in respective domains. For example, maths anxiety was linked with Algebra and Geometry performance. The results demonstrated that the negative link between anxiety and performance is present even in adolescents with high academic achievement (i.e., adolescents with high achievement in STEM) and this link is of small-to-medium effect size. Interestingly, worry scale correlated positively with performance after controlling for other anxiety measures, probably reflecting this measure tapping into some motivational and/or arousal aspects of anxiety. The study provides new insights into anxiety-performance links that can be used for further development of measures and educational interventions.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 2","pages":"e70088"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13140474/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147435102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study is to investigate how integral emotions, specifically anticipatory (felt before deciding) and anticipated (predicted post-outcome) emotions, work in parallel to influence risky behavior. Unlike prior work that isolated a single emotional pathway, this research offers novelty by modeling both emotional pathways as parallel mechanisms induced by anticipated outcomes, and by quantifying their direct and indirect effects within the same model across two financial contexts. A sample of 640 Indonesians (aged 21-35; 61% female) viewed audiovisual vignettes for \"Buy Now Pay Later\" (BNPL) and \"Online Loan,\" then rated perceived future gain/loss (anticipated outcome), the intensity of anticipated and anticipatory emotions, risk perception, intention to use the financial schemes, and completed the risk propensity scale. Path analyses showed that anticipated outcomes robustly elicited both emotion types, and that direct effects of both emotions on risky intention exceeded indirect effects in both contexts. These findings demonstrate that integral emotions influence risky financial intention directly and in parallel, underscore the value of jointly modeling anticipatory and anticipated emotions in risky decision-making.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 2","pages":"e70089"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13140629/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147435060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review evaluates the role of mobile health (mHealth) applications in enhancing caregivers' self-regulation, with a particular focus on the monitoring component, and their impact on caregivers' burden and wellbeing. Twenty-four studies published between 2019 and 2025 were reviewed, analyzing intervention models, the presence and implementation of monitoring strategies, and overall app efficacy. The findings reveal a variety of mHealth approaches, including psychoeducational tools, social and peer support features, and mindfulness-based therapies. Monitoring mechanisms-such as behavior tracking, emotional self-assessments, reflective prompts, and chatbot-based feedback-emerged as pivotal elements for activating the self-regulation process. These tools supported caregivers in recognizing stressors, evaluating caregiving strategies, and making adaptive changes, thereby enhancing emotional resilience and caregiving efficacy. However, persistent challenges such as declining user engagement and variability in digital literacy highlight the need for more adaptive, user-centered designs. This review emphasizes the transformative potential of mHealth monitoring in dementia caregiving and calls for future research to standardize evaluation metrics, personalize interventions, and promote long-term engagement and accessibility for diverse caregiver populations.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 2","pages":"e70092"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13052052/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147623577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has found that in contexts of intrasexual competition, feminine female voices indicate high mate value and elicit stronger jealousy responses from other women. However, studies on individual differences in jealousy sensitivity are limited. Body size is an important factor that influences women's mating behavior. In the current study, we investigated the effect of women's height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) on their jealousy sensitivity to other women's vocal femininity. Results showed that women perceived more feminine voices as more jealousy-inducing, and this effect was modulated by body size. Taller women demonstrated heightened sensitivity to vocal changes in pitch and formants, while slimmer women and those with a lower BMI showed increased sensitivity to pitch variations in competitive scenarios. These findings indicate that body size significantly shapes individual differences in jealousy sensitivity during intrasexual competition. Our study supports the mate quality-jealousy hypothesis, highlighting how traits perceived as indicators of higher mate quality amplify jealousy responses. The current research extends the literature on vocal cues and attractiveness by demonstrating how these factors influence emotional reactions such as jealousy.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"e70072"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12897551/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145900929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the latent mediating effect among psychological resilience, emotion regulation, academic self-efficacy, and perceived social support in Chinese and Ghanaian adolescents. Using multigroup structural equation modeling (MSEM) with a sample of 2000 participants, the study tested hypotheses on measurement invariance, structural associations, mediation, and moderated mediation. Results from measurement invariance tests confirmed that the constructs were comparable across groups, with good fit indices (CFI ≥ 0.90, RMSEA ≤ 0.07) supporting configural, metric, and scalar invariance. Structural path analyses revealed significant positive associations among all constructs, with effects generally stronger among Chinese adolescents. It was found that the relationship between resilience and emotion regulation was higher in China than in Ghana. Mediation analyses further indicated that emotion regulation and social support transmitted the influence of resilience on academic self-efficacy, with single mediators explaining 20%-28% of the variance and the total indirect effect accounting for 48%. Emotion regulation emerged as the strongest mediator. Moderated mediation analyses showed that these pathways were more pronounced in China (total indirect effect: B = 0.37 vs. 0.20; index = 0.17, 95% CI = [0.07, 0.29], p < 0.01), reflecting cultural emphases on emotional control, academic diligence, and structured social networks. Findings highlight the importance of considering cultural context in adolescent development research.

Evaluations of facial attractiveness were previously considered universal. However, it has recently been pointed out that individuals and cultures can diversify their evaluations. This study conducted Web experiments using the facial images of Japanese and American participants to examine the effects of raters' gender, age, and culture on facial attractiveness. Experiment 1 examined the impact of gender and age on Japanese raters. Experiment 2 explored the effects of culture on Japanese and American raters. Statistical and morphometric analyses were conducted on the obtained data. The results showed significant positive correlations between attractiveness ratings across gender, age, and culture. However, the results of the geometric morphometrics revealed that several differences in preferences regarding facial contours were observed among participants by gender. Additionally, Japanese raters were more likely than American raters to emphasize raised eyebrows for faces in attractive male images, and smaller mouths for faces in attractive female images. These results suggest that the facial features driving attractiveness evaluations differ depending on gender and culture, offering detailed insights into the culturally diverse standards of facial attractiveness. This study adds to the growing understanding of how cultural and individual factors shape aesthetic preferences, questioning the notion of universal beauty, and offering a clearer framework for future cross-cultural research on facial attractiveness.","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":" ","pages":"e70065"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12856234/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145524293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
