While this adult-derived model offers a parsimonious structure for measuring social-emotional skills, its applicability to children and early adolescents across diverse cultural contexts remains largely untested. This study examined the structural validity of the SSES framework employing exploratory graph analysis (EGA)-a network psychometrics technique using skill facets as nodes, regularized partial correlations as edge weights, and the walktrap algorithm for community detection. Drawing on self-report data from 60,440 participants aged 10 and 15 across ten international cities, our analysis revealed that contrary to expectation, the hypothesized five-factor structure did not emerge in any age group or city. Among 10-year-olds, skills remained largely undifferentiated or showed only preliminary clustering in most cities, suggesting developmental immaturity in functional organization. Among 15-year-olds, three to four distinct dimensions emerged, with significant cross-city variation in composition. Developmental trajectories also differed culturally: Houston, Sintra, and Istanbul exhibited early-but-stagnant differentiation, while Suzhou showed rapid progression from undifferentiated to four-dimensional structure. These findings identify key limitations in applying the SSES framework: (1) the pattern of conditional dependencies among skill facets violates the local independence assumption underlying the five-factor model; (2) the organization of skills is not equivalent across ages: 10-year-olds show largely undifferentiated structures while 15-year-olds exhibit clearer differentiation; and (3) dimensional configurations vary substantially across cities, challenging assumptions of cross-cultural universality. The results inform researchers and policymakers about the framework's limitations and highlight the need for age- and culture-sensitive approaches to social-emotional skills assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":20804,"journal":{"name":"PsyCh journal","volume":"15 3","pages":"e70108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13273016/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148265759","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}

Atimiaphobia is a newly recognized psychological condition characterized by an intense fear of losing honor or being labeled shameless, deeply rooted in honor cultures and shame societies. To assess this construct, the Atimiaphobia Scale (AtiPhoS) was developed and rigorously validated. The study was conducted in a series of four phases involving 1232 participants (M_age = 27 years; women = 48.9%). The validation of the AtiPhoS involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses along with convergent and predictive validity. The AtiPhoS, comprising 15 items (English) and four subscales (fear of being labeled shameless, fear of violating social norms, fear of public judgement, fear of losing self-respect and honor) demonstrated excellent reliability (α = 0.824; ICC = 0.989). The model fit indices, such as CFI (0.933), TLI (0.916), RMSEA (0.065), and SRMSR (0.044), showed strong validity. Convergent validity was demonstrated by the scale's significantly positive correlation with the Experience of Shame Scale (r = 0.377) and the anxiety sub-scale of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (r = 0.262). The predictive validity of the AtiPhoS was established through its inverse predictive values for social intelligence (β = -0.229). A significant positive correlation was found between atimiaphobia and age. Women and married individuals exhibited significantly higher levels of atimiaphobia compared with men and unmarried individuals, respectively.

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).

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.

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.
