This process can be fraught with anxiety, coined 'Scanxiety'. The present study examined how coping and scan-related anxiety fluctuate within-person <i>before</i> one's scan. <b>Method:</b> Twenty five individuals with lung cancer who had received curative intent treatment (M age = 62.33, [SD = 8.10], 96% women, 80% white) participated in the study, which had two parts. First, participants provided information about proactive coping and scan-related anxiety every 30 days. Next, a daily diary study was implemented for 7 consecutive days before their CT scan, as well as the day of their CT scan, where participants reported on their daily anticipatory coping and scan-related anxiety. The 25 participants provided 59 monthly and 146 daily surveys for analysis. <b>Results:</b> Multilevel models revealed significant main effects of monthly proactive coping on monthly scan-related anxiety, as well as daily anticipatory coping on daily scan-related anxiety. On months when participants decreased their use of proactive coping, they also reported decreases in scan-related anxiety for that month. On days when participants reported decreases in outcome fantasy and stagnant deliberation, they reported decreases in scan-related anxiety for that day. Finally, a significant interaction was found such that on days when middle-aged adults reported increases in problem analysis, they also reported increases in scan-related anxiety for that day. <b>Conclusion:</b> These findings are the first to characterize how participants' coping and scanxiety fluctuate in the months and days <i>prior</i> to their CT scans. Results indicated that focusing on the present may be more beneficial in reducing scan-related anxiety rather than thinking about the future. Future work should implement strategies to reduce scanxiety by focusing on the present among those with lung cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"702-722"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10629386/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10399380","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}

Data for this study were derived from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Study (YRBS). A total of 13,677 participants completed the YRBS in 2019. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the association between contraceptive type (i.e., condom, oral birth control, withdrawal, no method) and risk behavior. Results found that those students who reported condom use were less likely to engage in certain substance use behaviors and sexual risk taking compared to those who used no contraceptive method, oral birth control, or withdrawal. The results seem to suggest that condom use and risk-taking behaviors are somewhat interconnected in that condom users were found to be more protective in their behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":21149,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"791-799"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9264195","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}

Results showed that social media addiction was associated with poorer mental health via internet addiction and phubbing.

The association between social media addiction and depression was explained by internet addiction only. These results remained consistent after controlling for gender, age, frequency of internet use, frequency of social media use, and frequency of smartphone use. These findings extend the extant literature by providing evidence for the dual roles of internet addiction and phubbing in explaining the relationship between social media addiction and poor mental health. Social media addiction did not directly influence poorer mental health but did via internet addiction and phubbing.

This study used the Parental Burnout Assessment, the Parent-Child Relationship Scale, the Positive Psychology Questionnaire, the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory, and School Connectedness Scale to conduct a cluster sampling survey of 1439 primary school students and one of their parents (the primary caregiver) in China. The results showed that parent-child relationship and children's psychological resilience played a mediating role between parental burnout and students' learning burnout. School connection played a moderating role between parent-child conflict and children's psychological resilience. The study's results indicate that parental burnout is a critical risk factor for children's learning burnout and school connection can be a protective factor.

Further, half of the participants in each group were informed that their assigned task was beneficial to memory performance. In Experiment 1, information about task benefits reduced misinformation reports on the final recall test, regardless of the task. The brief mindfulness exercise increased self-reported mindfulness scores in both experiments. While no group differences in memory were found, correlational analyses across the two experiments suggest that individuals who achieve more intense states of mindfulness may have lower susceptibility to misinformation and better event memory when meditation occurs prior to encoding.

The aim of the current study was to examine the perceptions of professors and fellow college students (i.e., peers) who were presented with a vignette depicting a fictitious student requesting an academic accommodation. It was hypothesized that professors and peers would have more negative impressions of students needing accommodations because of ADHD and SLD diagnoses, as compared to three other reasons (i.e., depression, a visual impairment, or collegiate athletics [specifically basketball]). In a sequence of two similar experiments, professors and then peers were presented with one of the five vignettes, and were asked to rate the student on various measures of academic ability and work ethic, among other things.
