Exploratory Factor Analyses, Cronbach's alphas, and item-total correlations were used to evaluate the scales with a sample size of 120 participants. The conducted factor analyses demonstrated that the translated MHC-SF aligns structurally with prior studies, as compared to the PCQ, which diverged in factor loadings. The study also applied Independent Samples t-tests, revealing significant differences among comparison groups. PWS reported lower mental health and PsyCap levels than FS, emphasizing psychosocial challenges as stuttering as inversely correlated with mental health and PsyCap dimensions-hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism. In conjunction with offering preliminary validated tools, the study findings advocate for increased, holistic mental health approaches within traditional speech therapy to enhance the quality of life for PWS.

{"title":"Does Workplace Respect and Organisational Identity Matter in Organisations? Exploration and Validation Through EFA and CFA.","authors":"Swati Dhir, Tanusree Dutta","doi":"10.1177/00332941251352396","DOIUrl":"10.1177/00332941251352396","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Workplace respect is a fundamental human need influencing organisational dynamics, team interactions, and individual well-being. However, its implicit nature makes it challenging to measure and manage. This study addresses this gap by developing a validated scale to measure workplace respect and examining its impact on organisational identification and organisational performance. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, a workplace respect scale was developed utilizing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) on a sample of 234 employees. In phase 2, the relationships among workplace respect, organisational identification, and organisational performance were tested using data from 200 working executives through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) within a (PLS-SEM) framework. The three dimensions that emerged from the scale were acceptance, autonomy, and non-discrimination. The result supports that organisational identification has a mediating effect on the relationship between workplace respect and organisational performance. The findings emphasize the need for organisations to promote a culture of respect by adopting appropriate workplace practices. Strengthening organisational identification can further improve overall performance and employee engagement. The study uniquely develops and validates a multidimensional measure of workplace respect before testing its theoretical underpinnings. By employing independent samples from diverse industries, the findings offer broader generalizability and contribute to the literature on organisational behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941251352396"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144340377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of relationship uncertainty on the relationship between attachment insecurities (attachment anxiety and avoidance dimension) and commitment. For this purpose, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted on 276 individuals with a romantic partner. A scale battery including a Demographic Information Form, Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), Relationship Commitment Scale, and Relational Uncertainty Scale was administered to participants. A mediation model with Structural Equation Modeling and bootstrapping techniques was employed in data analysis.

That is, both attachment anxiety and avoidance tended to increase relationship uncertainty; increased relationship uncertainty in turn tended to decrease relationship commitment, albeit with different motivations. A total of 56% of the variance was explained by all the explanatory variables in the model. These results indicate that relationship uncertainty plays a significant role in the relations between attachment dimensions and relationship commitment.

(2003). By examining cognitive indicators such as filled and silent pauses, repetitions, slips of the tongue, word omissions, speech rearrangements, sentence incompletions, and drawl, this research sheds light on the mental processes underlying language production in deceptive communication. Utilizing a comprehensive experimental design, we collected narratives from 30 native Persian speakers who recounted both truthful experiences and fabricated scenarios over a one-week period. This design aimed to minimize situational cognitive load and emotional anxiety by allowing participants ample preparation time and enabling them to record their narratives in a familiar home setting, thus isolating the cognitive demands inherent in the act of fabrication itself. Our dataset comprised 60 transcribed video recordings, which were meticulously coded for the specified disfluency types and analyzed using Praat software for phonetic detail where necessary (e.g., pause duration). Statistical analysis via paired sample t-tests in SPSS, with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, revealed a significant increase (<i>p</i> < .006) in the frequency of silent pauses (≥200 ms in duration) during the narration of fabricated stories compared to truthful ones. This finding suggests that the cognitive effort required for deception persists and manifests measurably, even when lies are premeditated and delivered in a low-stakes environment. Despite the controlled setting designed to reduce anxiety and planning demands, our findings underscore the potential reliability of specific non-verbal cues, particularly silent pauses, as indicators reflecting the cognitive architecture of deception. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating analyses of both verbal content and non-verbal behaviours in developing more nuanced and effective lie detection methodologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941251352448"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144326786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aimed to explore the lived experiences of individuals diagnosed with FND. The research employed a qualitative design, using online one-to-one semi structured interviews analysed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Participants (<i>n</i> = 12) diagnosed with FND were recruited via the social media of relevant charities in the United Kingdom. Three Group Experiential Themes and eight corresponding Personal Experimental Themes are reported: (1) A battle fought alone: (1a) Bereft of care (1b) Physical and psychological isolation; (2) Interpersonal conundrums: (2a) Stigma from all directions (2b) A family affair (2c) Connecting with the ingroup; (3) Thriving through adversity: (3a) Moving through fear to grieving, then acceptance (3b) Fostering hope and self-discovery (3c) Finding meaning and purpose. Life with FND was a lonely experience, with limited professional support and physical / psychological isolation. Participants faced interpersonal challenges, with stigma common in both personal and professional relationships. Experiences of peer support were mixed. Participants managed the disabling impact of symptoms by reaching a place of acceptance, developing self-insight and practicing strategies such as mindfulness and gratitude. The importance of rediscovering purpose through meaningful pursuits was also highlighted.

To address this issue, the present research involved a conceptual replication of these original studies within a self-determination theory perspective. Using a sample of 126 participants, participant feedback was manipulated to induce either perceived competence (competence satisfaction) or perceived incompetence (competence frustration), and then the effects of these manipulations on levels of conformity was measured. As expected, competence frustration led to higher levels of conformity, whereas competence satisfaction led to lower levels of conformity.
