Similarly, people overexposed to others' pain respond differently to expressions of it. Given that pain experience and empathy toward others' pain share cognitive and cerebral mechanisms, examining how both are affected by overexposure to self-pain and others' pain within the same population is of particular interest. Athletes represent one such population. This study thus aimed to compare pain perception and empathy in athletes and non-athletes. Thirty athletes and 28 non-athletes were asked to imagine their pain in different contexts and report its intensity and unpleasantness, assess the intensity and unpleasantness of others' pain, and report their felt empathy for pain. They also completed questionnaires on pain, sports experiences, and trait empathy. The main results show that athletes reported similar pain intensity but less unpleasantness for their own pain than non-athletes, comparable intensity and unpleasantness for others' pain, and less empathy specifically for facial expressions depicting high pain. Together, these findings suggest reduced affective responding rather than changes in the sensory perception of pain. Several sport-specific mechanisms may explain these reductions, including greater habituation, stronger beliefs about pain controllability, regulatory flexibility, and the possibility that more sport-relevant contexts are required to fully engage athletes' propensity for empathy. This study contributes to a better understanding of the complex relationship between repeated pain experience and empathy toward that state in others.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941261488359"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149008949","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}

Yet recent research has increasingly reduced perfectionism to broad higher-order factors leaving specific dimensions underexamined. The present study examined how the six dimensions of Multidimensional Perfectionism according to Frost et al. (1990)-Concern over Mistakes, Doubts about Actions, Personal Standards, Organization, Parental Expectations, and Parental Criticism-relate to positive and negative mental health outcomes among Filipino young adults. Canonical correlation analysis was employed in a sample of 1,093 participants (<i>M</i>^age = 22.10, SD = 1.66) to capture the multivariate patterning of associations between perfectionism dimensions and four mental health indicators: stress, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction. Two significant canonical functions emerged. The first function (Rc = .649, 42.1% shared variance between the two canonical variates) linked Concern over Mistakes, Doubts about Actions, Parental Criticism, Parental Expectations and Personal Standards to higher stress, anxiety, and depression, and lower life satisfaction. The second (Rc = .332, 11.0% shared variance between the two canonical variates) linked Personal Standards and Organization to greater life satisfaction and lower depression, with weaker associations with anxiety and stress. These findings highlight the value of examining individual perfectionism dimensions rather than broad higher-order factors.

We contend that the creditive processes underlying believing are semi- or non-conscious, although their content can become conscious. On the phenomenological level creditive processes are related to but not synonymous with emotion and cognition.

Prior research has focused largely on behavioral frequency and has often overlooked how victims interpret the perpetrator's intent. Drawing on Cognitive Appraisal Theory, this study investigates how different levels of perceived hostility, ranging from \"just joking\" to \"always mean\", together with perceived power imbalance, predict depressive symptoms. Data were collected from a large mental health survey of 4,970 adolescents in grades 5 to 12 in an eastern county, China. Participants completed the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire and the Patient Health Questionnaire. Perceived hostility was grouped into four levels: none, mild (\"just joking\"), ambiguous (\"sometimes joking, sometimes mean\"), and extreme (\"always mean\"). Logistic regression analyses indicated a nonlinear ambiguity effect. Ambiguous hostility showed the strongest association with depression (OR = 1.73, <i>p</i> < 0.001), whereas extreme hostility was not statistically significant in fully adjusted models (OR = 1.35, <i>p</i> = 0.056). Gender stratified analyses revealed divergent vulnerability patterns. Female students were more sensitive to mild hostility framed as joking (OR = 1.58), whereas male students showed the highest risk when facing ambiguous hostility (OR = 1.94). After accounting for perceived hostility, perceived power imbalance did not directly predict depression. This pattern raises question about existing assumptions that more overt aggression necessarily leads to greater psychological harm. Instead, they suggest that interpretive uncertainty, reflected in the cognitive effort needed to judge unclear intent, is a significant correlate of depression among adolescents in non-Western contexts. Interventions should focus on helping adolescents navigate social ambiguity and on addressing gender specific attribution tendencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941261488334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148970963","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}

A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used with 329 Indian college students aged 18 to 25, recruited through convenience sampling. The Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Form (ERQ-S), and the Distress Disclosure Index (DDI) were administered, and data was analyzed through Pearson's correlations, Independent-sample t-tests, and linear regression. Our analyses found that expressive suppression was negatively associated with distress disclosure. Self-compassion was moderately associated with cognitive reappraisal but was significantly associated with distress disclosure only among female participants. Regression analyses indicated that emotion regulation significantly predicted distress disclosure, whereas self-compassion did not emerge as a significant predictor. No significant differences were found between psychology and nonpsychology students.

Structural equation modeling indicated that both IPE and IEE positively predicted entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention, and that entrepreneurial self-efficacy partially mediated the association between each educational approach and entrepreneurial intention. The two educational approaches were nearly uncorrelated and contributed largely independent shares of explained variance, and the integrated model accounted for substantial variance in both self-efficacy and intention. Robustness checks, including assessments of common method bias and endogeneity, supported the validity of these findings. The results provide empirical evidence that value-based educational experiences contribute to entrepreneurial psychological development alongside skill-based interventions, thereby extending social cognitive theory, and they suggest that the coordinated delivery of ideological-political and entrepreneurship education may cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets more effectively than either approach in isolation.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941261488376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148930934","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 present paper introduces the Transformational Clinical Matrix-Expanded (TCM-XP), a transdiagnostic and metatheoretical framework developed to organize these processes within a developmental and integrative perspective. The TCM-XP comprises seven interrelated domains: Adverse and Dysfunctional Experiences, Emotional Wounds, Dialectical Core Schemas, Affective Dysregulation, Coping and Dispositional Responses, Maladaptive Patterns, and Complex Neural Network Dysfunctions. These domains are proposed to operate recursively rather than independently, suggesting that adverse relational and contextual experiences may contribute to the frustration of core biopsychosocial pressures, affectively encoded emotional wounds, polarized cognitive-affective representations, affective dysregulation, and recurrent coping and interpersonal patterns. The model also considers the possible contribution of large-scale brain networks and related neurobiological systems without reducing psychological functioning to neural mechanisms. By integrating developmental psychopathology, trauma theory, clinical psychology, personality perspectives, and affective neuroscience, TCM-XP provides a conceptual organization of complex psychological functioning that may inform assessment, case conceptualization, and clinical decision-making.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"332941261481769"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148913242","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}
