While cognition has emerged as a contributing factor to poor functioning in BD, previous reviews did not examine the role of cognitive domains (i.e., social cognition, nonsocial cognition) or the role of key potential moderators, including age and sex. A systematic literature search identified studies that included assessments of cognition and functioning in BD (103 reports, 2,200 effect sizes, 9,323 BD participants). Multilevel models tested the association between cognition and functioning, as well as moderation by cognitive domain, functional domain, biological factors, and clinical factors. Better overall cognitive performance was associated with better overall functioning (r = .20, p < .001). In contrast to the schizophrenia literature, nonsocial cognition was more strongly related to functioning (r = .21, p < .001) than social cognition (r = .16, p < .001). The magnitude of the relationship differed across cognitive and functional domains and was moderated by age, sex, clinical factors, and risk of bias. Social and nonsocial cognition make small, but statistically significant, contributions (i.e., 4% variance) to daily functioning in people with BD. This finding supports cognition as a viable treatment target to improve functioning in BD, with appropriate consideration of key moderators.

(2025) tested the accuracy and efficiency of data extraction from primary studies used in meta-analyses with a range of large language models. Efficiency was impressive: Across thousands of studies and hundreds of variables, eight large language models took less than an hour combined to extract hundreds of thousands of data points-work estimated to take a human coder >6,500 hr. Nevertheless, accuracy was inconsistent, ranging from high to low depending on the variable. From these results, Jansen et al. recommended (a) a research agenda for investigating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for data extraction and (b) methods for using AI as a partner for data extraction when conducting systematic reviews. This commentary expands on recommendations for the research agenda, such as investigating AI-induced bias, the illusion of exploratory depth, and using AI to extract study quality data. This commentary also offers further considerations regarding using AI as a meta-analysis partner, such as how iterative prompts might reduce coding independence.

This study updates and expands on this work in several ways. First, we investigate whether self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism continue to increase in tandem with personal standards, concerns about mistakes, and doubts about actions. Second, we examine generational differences in higher order dimensions of perfectionism (perfectionistic strivings and concerns). Third, we investigate whether changes in gross domestic product per capita and inequality account for temporal differences. Fourth, we test whether relationships between perfectionism and psychopathology are changing over time. Cross-temporal meta-analyses of 307 samples encompassing 82,939 American, Canadian, and British college students revealed that self-oriented perfectionism, concerns over mistakes, and doubts about actions increased linearly. Socially prescribed perfectionism followed a quadratic trajectory, with a notable acceleration starting in the early 2000s. At the higher order level, perfectionistic strivings increased linearly, whereas perfectionistic concerns followed a quadratic trajectory. Declining gross domestic product per capita was associated with higher perfectionistic strivings, while rising inequality was associated with steeper increases in perfectionistic concerns. Furthermore, correlations between perfectionism and psychopathology remained stable over time. Overall, results reveal that college students increasingly perceive others as excessively demanding while becoming more demanding of themselves, accompanied by growing indecisiveness, uncertainty, and sensitivity about making mistakes.

Previous meta-analyses on this relationship have faced limitations from studies by using small convenience samples and have encountered methodological issues, such as variance restriction, low statistical power, and ecological bias. To address these challenges, the present research synthesis is the first to use a comprehensive collection of representative individual participant data from international large-scale assessments. This analysis incorporated cumulative evidence from 1980 to 2022, including 452 probability samples from 90 countries, and covered student and adult populations. The meta-analytic average correlation between math anxiety and math achievement was r = -.26. Moderator analyses revealed novel evidence that this relationship is sensitive to both construct characteristics and individual and contextual factors. Specifically, the negative relationship was weaker for the worry facet of math anxiety compared to its affective and cognitive interference facets, and it was weaker following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Additionally, the negative relationship was stronger for individuals with average and high levels of math achievement and in countries with higher gross domestic product per capita. Gender differences in the relationship were largely negligible after 2010, although female individuals exhibited a stronger negative relationship in the 1980s and 1990s than male individuals. In summary, synthesizing individual participant data from international large-scale assessments provided novel, nuanced, and robust evidence for research, practice, and policy.
