PA was grouped into quartiles (Q1-Q4), with total cognitive score as the primary outcome. Mixed-effects models with restricted cubic splines characterized dose-response relationships. A multilevel serial mediation model with bias-corrected bootstrapping (1000 resamples) estimated indirect effects, and a cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) evaluated longitudinal directionality.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>PA showed an inverted U-shaped association with cognition and a U-shaped association with depressive symptoms. Relative to Q1, moderate PA (Q2) was associated with higher cognitive scores (β = 0.559; 95% CI, 0.232-0.887), whereas the highest stratum (Q4, reflecting heavy physical labor) was associated with lower scores (β = -0.354; 95% CI, -0.697 to -0.010). In Q2, significant indirect effects were observed through depressive symptoms (a₁×b₁ = 0.053), abnormal sleep duration (a₂×b₂= 0.078), and the serial depression-to-sleep pathway (a₁×d×b₂ = 0.006), totaling 0.137 (95% CI, 0.083-0.201). In the CLPM, moderate PA predicted fewer subsequent depressive symptoms (β = -0.056) and better cognition (β = 0.039), consistent with the mediation results.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In postmenopausal women, moderate PA is associated with better cognitive function, partly through fewer depressive symptoms and improved sleep, whereas high-intensity physical labor is associated with poorer cognition. Depressive symptoms and sleep may therefore be relevant considerations when planning strategies to preserve cognitive health in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":20954,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Research and Behavior Management","volume":"19 ","pages":"633189"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13651733/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149170004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Across the mood, anxious, dissociative and psychotic spectra, common and perhaps specific mechanisms for these debilitating symptoms need to be clarified. We propose here a scoping review of studies published until May 2025 focusing on primary research in adult populations about bodily symptoms, psychiatric disorders, and neurobiological mechanisms connecting them, based on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) matrix. Our review follows the PRISMA-ScR Checklist and included 73 articles. Studies focusing solely on psychosomatic disorders were excluded. In the included studies, the most represented somatic symptoms were general symptoms such as pain or unspecific somatic symptoms, whereas anxiety and mood disorders accounted for the majority of psychiatric disorders. In terms of mechanistic links between somatic symptoms and psychiatric disorders, somatosensory perception and self-knowledge were the most studied RDoC subconstructs. When combined together, the most common triad associating somatic symptom, RDoC construct and psychiatric disorder was pain - perception - borderline personality disorder, occurring in 11 articles. This work also identifies knowledge gaps in the literature about mechanistic links between somatic symptoms and psychiatric disorders. For example, specific functional syndromes, dissociative disorders and interoception and their interactions are interesting concepts for future primary research studies. Alternatively, the most studied associations suggest topics to be covered by systematic reviews. Altogether, our results emphasize the need for more interdisciplinary research, taking advantage of recent advances in neuroscience that could help to uncover the complex mechanisms at play between psychological and bodily symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":20954,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Research and Behavior Management","volume":"19 ","pages":"601207"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13640999/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149114100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Impact of Digital Platform Rules on the Mental Health of Minors and the Response of Chinese Law: An Analysis Based on Therapeutic Jurisprudence.","authors":"Jie Zhang, Jun Li","doi":"10.2147/PRBM.S625899","DOIUrl":"10.2147/PRBM.S625899","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Adopting Therapeutic Jurisprudence (TJ) as its theoretical framework and employing the methods of literature analysis and normative analysis, this paper conceptualizes the rules of recommendation algorithms, quantitative feedback, open social connectivity, and automated review procedures as structural arrangements that shape the psychological experiences of minors, and examines their potential mental health implications. The analysis suggests that these rules may affect the mental health of minors along four dimensions-autonomous will, self-perception, relational trust, and procedural trust-and that, in operation, these rules are interwoven and mutually reinforcing. However, China's current regulatory model places disproportionate emphasis on content governance and usage management, while the regulation of designated platforms and the Minor Mode likewise face obstacles in implementation, making it hard to respond effectively to the structural shaping of minors' psychological experiences by platform rules. By examining pioneering governance experiences at the international level, this paper compares the normative functions of different institutional instruments in the protection of minors' mental health and the conditions of their application. On this basis, the paper argues that the normative objectives of safeguarding minors' self-determination, maintaining reasonable trust, and realizing procedural justice should guide the construction of a psychologically friendly digital normative environment for minors, and that institutional arrangements covering the entire process of platform use should be established, encompassing psychological impact assessment, proactive identification and default protection, and restorative protection of rights.</p>","PeriodicalId":20954,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Research and Behavior Management","volume":"19 ","pages":"625899"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13621951/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149081997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
