The thirteen closed items were constructed based on literature and conversations with professionals. An exploratory factor analysis conducted on these thirteen items resulted in two factors: physical distance and internal barriers. In general, physical distance was a significantly more prominent self-identified cause than internal barriers. Interestingly, men were more likely to indicate that internal barriers were a cause of their LFT than women. These results provide the first insights into the potential causes of LFT.

We hypothesize that self-compassion can foster employee helping behavior by enhancing perspective-taking, and that supervisor bottom-line mentality can inhibit the process. To test our hypotheses, we conducted two empirical studies: the first is a scenario-based experiment with 110 participants and the second is a multi-wave, multi-source survey involving 618 leader–subordinate dyads. Our results reveal that self-compassion can foster employee helping behavior by enhancing perspective-taking. Moreover, a strong supervisor bottom-line mentality can inhibit these positive effects.

Individual differences were found in both initial levels of procrastination and emotion regulation difficulties, but only procrastination showed significant variance in rates of change. CLPM analyses demonstrated that the relationship between these variables shifted from bidirectional to unidirectional as the semester progressed, with emotion dysregulation emerging as the stronger predictor. Higher initial levels of procrastination predicted steeper increases in emotion regulation difficulties, and vice versa. These findings suggest that early intervention targeting both emotional and behavioral aspects might be most effective, particularly before these patterns become established.

This study employed a dynamic systems approach to explore the role of in-the-moment affective dynamics in caregiver-preschooler interactions on STB risk, focusing on affective variability and shared (positive, neutral, and negative) affect as risk factors for preschool and preadolescent STBs. Children (<em>N</em> = 135, X with a preschool depression) and their caregivers participated in a longitudinal study; STBs were assessed using clinical diagnostic interviews at preschool (ages 3–7 years) and in preadolescence (ages 8–12 years). Two groups were created to characterize history of STBs across the two periods: no/remitted-STBs and emerged/persistent STBs. During the preschool assessment, caregiver-child dyads completed two interaction tasks coded offline. State Space Grids (SSGs) were used to derive measures of dyadic affective flexibility and shared affect. Caregiver-preschooler affective dynamics were examined as predictors of STB history. Greater affective flexibility, less shared positive affect, and more shared neutral affect predicted a higher likelihood of preadolescent STBs. Follow-up analyses with all dyadic variables revealed the unique contributions of affective flexibility and less positive shared affect predicting STB status even when controlling for child psychopathology and caregiver depression. Findings suggest affective dynamics within the caregiver-preschooler relationship are associated with later STBs, suggesting a potential dyadic risk marker for poor relationship quality in this population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48467,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Individual Differences","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 113048"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst vivid emotional mental imagery (EMI) has an established role in understanding persecutory delusions, its association with paranoia in general population young adults is unknown. We tested whether the vividness of imagery for different types of negative future events differentiated paranoia from anxiety. Specifically, we varied future scenario content by virtue of interpersonal content and level of intentionality (non-interpersonal, interpersonal and interpersonal-intentional), as well as examining whether one's capacity for present moment awareness moderated the relationship between negative imagery and paranoia. The design was a cross-sectional survey with UK dwelling young adults (<em>n</em> = 120, 19.6 years). Participants completed questionnaires, including an adapted version of the Prospective Imagery Task. Paranoia was associated with experiencing more vivid negative imagery for future events that were interpersonal and intentional in nature, whereas anxiety was associated with future negative imagery of non-interpersonal content. A lower ability to remain in the present moment intensified the relationship between imagery vividness and paranoia. These findings provide a first step in understanding a potentially important relationship between prospective imagery and paranoia and provide a springboard to develop novel approaches to expand our repertoire of interventions for young adults with paranoia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48467,"journal":{"name":"Personality and Individual Differences","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 113038"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143154628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
