Variability in FEP hemispheric bias is thought to underpin differences in facial emotion recognition ability and has been associated with age, handedness, biological sex, and autistic traits. However, findings from research to date investigating factors associated with FEP hemispheric bias have been inconsistent.Objective: To examine if FEP hemispheric bias can be predicted by individual factors such as age, biological sex, handedness, and autistic traits.Methods: 427 adults recruited from the general population aged 18-67 years completed the Autism-spectrum Quotient. We also assessed covariates previously linked with FEP hemispheric bias including age, handedness, and biological sex. FEP hemispheric bias was indexed using laterality quotients calculated from a Chimeric Faces Task, where participants indicated which of two identical (but mirrored) half-emotional half-neutral (no emotion) chimeric faces were more emotive.Results: Linear regression models revealed that (1) handedness predicted FEP hemispheric choice bias, (2) the attention switching Autism-spectrum Quotient subscale predicted FEP hemispheric reaction time bias, and (3) the imagination Autism-spectrum Quotient subscale predicted FEP hemispheric reaction time bias for males, but not females.Conclusions: These findings indicate that the relationship between autistic traits and FEP hemispheric bias is nuanced. Additionally, handedness influences hemispheric bias effects during FEP. Future research should endeavour to investigate if FEP hemispheric bias is dependent on the emotion being observed and consider using more direct measures of hemispheric bias.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"271"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11921578/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658956","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}

This study explores leader humour within university departments to design a comprehensive model using grounded theory. The study also examines the effects and dynamics of humour in leadership and its influence on followers.Methods: This qualitative study employed Glaser's 6 C family approach. Data were collected from 18 Iranian university professors, selected via purposive sampling until theoretical saturation was reached. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analysed using MAXQDA2020 software to facilitate the coding process.Results: The axial category was named 'leader humorous behaviour' and the main attributes of humour were 'benign violation' and 'moderation'. This study highlights the importance of moderation in humorous behaviour (frequency and repetition) as an important attribute of leader humour alongside benign violation, which can have negative and unwanted outcomes for both leader and followers despite positive and constructive content. The final model identifies a sense of humour as the central cause and organisational factors as correlated causes. It also identifies the mediators, moderators, context, and consequences of leader humorous behaviour. Sense of humour is found to be the most important factor in followers' perception and interpretation of leader humour.Conclusions: Leader humour can have positive ethical implications in organisations, thus enhancing relationships and communication when employed appropriately. The findings suggest that positive outcomes of leader humour over time foster greater expression and mitigate misunderstandings. This study offers a foundational understanding of leader humorous behaviour and its potential positive outcomes in organisational settings.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"265"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11917014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659011","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}

In this study, we aimed to analyse the self-critical cycles of participants who scored high on coping to understand the most adaptive strategies and responses to the self-critic. The consensual qualitative analysis was performed by a team of three researchers and one auditor. The high scorers were identified from a convenience sample of 1,683 participants. Twenty participants, 14 women and 6 men, were randomly chosen from the sample of individuals who scored high in self-reporting inventory of coping. In-depth repeat interviews were conducted with 15 participants for the main analysis, and 5 were added to check the data saturation. The results revealed three core themes - I am okay but I need improving; I am okay but improving would help; and I am not okay and it is hard to be different. Furthermore, six main types of self-critic emerged from the data: Teamster, Non-feeler, Worrier, Not good enough for self, Not good enough for others, and Hated self. Self-critic sequences included the trigger or specific situation evoking that self-critic; accompanying emotions and/ or self-awareness; a particular kind of self-criticism and self-compassionate and/or self-protective responses to the self-critic that form part of coping. The results supported the Emotion Focused Theory of change, with self-compassionate and self-protective responses being aimed at various types of self-critic. Self-critic specific nuances were also identified. The study provided the possibilities of working with different types of inner critics and could alleviate the suffering caused by them.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11916919/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659023","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}

Following this, the criteria were applied to measures used in 49 longitudinal studies of mental health problems in children with NDD.Results: The general risk of bias across domains was rated as high in 57.1% of the 49 included studies. The highest risk of bias was seen in domain four (rated as high in 87.8% of studies) and the lowest in domain three (24.5%).Conclusions: The risk of bias items enhance our understanding of the quality of the evidence about mental health problem trajectories in children with NDD. The methodological quality of future research can be increased by selecting conceptually clear scales developed for the population - preferably in the form of cognitively accessible self-report scales - and adopting a multi-informant approach.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"267"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11917076/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659032","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}

Previous studies on cognitive aging provide mixed evidence for the effects of social isolation and loneliness in shaping cognitive outcomes among older adults. In addition, the joint consideration of social isolation and loneliness remains rarely used in the empirical examination of cognitive aging, whereas an exclusionary perspective is missing.Methods: Using a sample (N = 7,830) from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), this study examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of three ESR states in older age (ESR and lonely, ESR but not lonely, not ESR but lonely) on episodic memory. Living alone or without a partner, being active in the labor market, and social participation were also included as exclusionary states in linear mixed models with health, demographics, and socioeconomic factors as covariates.Results: Cross-sectionally, ESR states in older age are associated with worse episodic memory independent of loneliness. There was no evidence for longitudinal effects between ESR states at baseline and episodic memory slopes over time.Conclusions: It was concluded that the negative effects of loneliness-typified ESR states on cognitive aging may be temporary and reversible, as a function of older adults' transition in-and-out of these exclusionary states.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"264"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11917037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658955","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}

The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to assess the depressive symptoms of adolescents. Vocabulary and mathematics tests were used to test fluid intelligence. Memory and number series tests were used to test crystal intelligence. The 6-year depressive symptom trajectories of adolescents were identified by the latent class mixed model. Linear regression models and Generalized Estimating Equation models were applied to test the associations between depressive symptom trajectories and cognitive performance. We identified three distinct trajectories of depressive symptoms: (a) low depressive symptom trajectory (88.51%), (b) remitting depressive symptom trajectory (5.86%), (c) decreasing depressive symptom trajectory (5.63%). We found that decreasing depressive symptom trajectory predicted worse fluid intelligence (β: -0.51, 95% CI: -0.88, -0.13) and crystal intelligence (β: -2.09, 95% CI: -3.78, -0.41) compared with low depressive symptom trajectory. Gender-stratified analysis showed that the negative association between depressive symptoms trajectory and crystal intelligence was only found in males. Depressive symptom episodes in early adolescence were associated with worse cognitive performance later. Performing mental health screenings, especially during the sensitive windows of cognitive development, is critical to reducing the negative impact of depressive symptoms.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"268"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11921599/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659016","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}

Based on the autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) scores, participants were categorized into two groups: the High-AQ and the Low-AQ groups. In Study 1, both groups were asked to judge a single emotional voice (positive, negative, or neutral; S1) presented in each trial in Task 1, or the last presented emotional voice (S3) in a triplet of stimuli (S1-S2-S3, trains of three consecutive changeable emotional voices) in Task 2. In Study 2, both groups were instructed to passively listen to the stimulus triplet (S1-S2-S3), and event-related potential (ERP) technology was used to investigate their neural responses to each stimulus.Results: No significant group difference was found in response to S1 voices in either Study 1 or Study 2. However, the High-AQ group elicited higher arousal levels (Study 1) and larger P2 amplitudes (Study 2) in response to S3 emotional voices (positive and negative) compared to the Low-AQ group.Conclusion: These findings reveal that individuals with autistic traits may exhibit alterations in their processing of consecutive changeable emotions in the auditory modality.","PeriodicalId":37867,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychology","volume":"13 1","pages":"261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11917078/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651122","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}
