This article provides a broad overview of the history of the CDS construct, its terminology, and the current state of the science. Although there has been a marked upsurge in research on CDS, including psychometrically rigorous assessment tools and an emerging pattern of findings across numerous domains of functioning, the existing literature base also points to the importance of marshaling an ambitious research agenda that can guide CDS into its next era. Ten key research domains and open questions are highlighted, including (1) developmental course of CDS across the lifespan, (2) mechanisms linking CDS to functional outcomes and impairment, (3) importance of gathering normative data, (4) clarifying CDS and unidimensional or multidimensional, (5) etiologies of CDS, (6) neurobiology and psychophysiology of CDS, (7) CDS as a transdiagnostic trait, (8) understanding individuals with elevated CDS, (9) promoting participatory approaches and valuing lived experience, and (10) the role of CDS for intervention. Implications of this research for possible conceptualizations of CDS as a distinct disorder, diagnostic specifier, or transdiagnostic dimension are discussed. The road ahead will require increased collaboration, creativity, and rigor to build theory, and, ultimately, support the well-being of individuals with this syndrome.

Recent research has increasingly focused on understanding how resilience factors benefit these young people's well-being as they navigate daily exposure to racism, using intensive longitudinal methods like daily diaries and ecological momentary assessment methods. This article reviewed empirical evidence and proposed a theoretical model that specifies daily resilience factors across psychosocial (e.g., coping, social support), cultural (e.g., ethnic-racial identity, ethnic-racial socialization), and neurobiological (e.g., sleep) domains within the context of racism. The model delineates multiple mechanisms (direct, moderating, and mediating effects) through which daily resilience factors are associated with well-being in the context of racism. It simultaneously considers how these daily processes are situated within stable individual, developmental, contextual, and historical factors and associated with long-term developmental outcomes. Based on the empirical review, we made some conceptual and methodological recommendations to move this research forward. We also consider its unique implications for practices and programs aimed at improving resilience among ethnically and racially minoritized young people in daily life.

Although research has documented the harmful consequences of narcissistic leadership, little is known about the interplay between narcissistic leaders and their followers. Building on the dominance-complementarity theory, we theorized that the dominance and confidence of narcissistic leaders would match well with the submissiveness and insecurity of followers with low self-esteem. We conducted an observational-experimental study (N = 332; 46% boys; 96% born in the Netherlands) in childhood (ages 7-14), a period that is considered critical for the formation of leader-follower relationships. Children completed a collaborative decision-making task in three-person groups. Within each group, one child was randomly assigned as leader; others were followers. We combined self-reports, informant reports, and observer-coded behaviors to provide a rigorous test of our hypotheses. Consistent with dominance-complementarity theory, in groups with a more narcissistic leader, followers with lower self-esteem perceived their leader as more effective, endorsed the leader more strongly for future leadership roles, experienced more inclusion and less bullying from the leader, felt better about themselves, perceived greater group cohesion, and showed less antagonistic behavior. This complementarity effect generalized to observer-coded leader behavior: In groups with lower self-esteem followers, more narcissistic leaders showed less aggression and less social exclusion toward their followers. Overall, findings were more pronounced in younger children and did not depend on the sex composition of groups. Our research reveals childhood manifestations of leader-follower dynamics, underlines the importance of leader-follower complementarity, and uncovers conditions under which narcissistic leadership can benefit versus harm the group.

In this article, we draw on N = 168 publications to argue that it is very difficult to integrate this research into a coherent theory of awe because current awe research lacks a reasonably clear understanding of the phenomenon. In detail, we show that the majority of publications on awe are based on Keltner and Haidt's (2003) approach to awe without putting it to the test. Furthermore, we illustrate how researchers' heavy reliance on the term \"awe\" in evocation and assessment makes it oftentimes difficult to say what collected data represent. In addition, we identify inconsistencies between researchers' theoretical approach to awe and their empirical methods in some studies. Finally, we outline that there is only very little scientific knowledge about differences in awe across various languages, cultures, and time periods. Based on these claims, we draw conclusions for existing research on awe's associations with other phenomena and for debates about the classification of awe. As a final step, we propose various solutions to solve the problems we identified.

The first perspective characterizes men as entitled and reactionary, prone to aggression when their societal expectations are unmet. This view aligns with the frustration-aggression hypothesis where unmet desires lead to hostile behaviors, particularly among individuals who perceive a loss of status and significance. Conversely, the second perspective views men as victims of rapid societal changes, such as job displacement, educational disparities, and shifting gender roles. This lens sees men as isolated and struggling to adapt to a new social landscape, leading to feelings of alienation and increased susceptibility to extremist ideologies. Social disconnection models, particularly those focused on ostracism, provide a framework for understanding these dynamics, highlighting the emotional and psychological toll of isolation. This article attempts to reconcile these contrasting views, providing an integrated perspective that can help clarify the phenomenon more fully and guide ongoing attempts to alleviate it.

Using data from the Midlife Development in the United States-II (n = 4,028) and Refresher (n = 2,586) cohorts, we assessed the dimensionality, replicability, measurement invariance, and validity of a hierarchical model. Results support measurement invariance across demographic groups and demonstrate the model's convergent and predictive validity. Cumulative social advantage was associated with lower multimorbidity (β = -.17 [-.22, -.13], p < .001), reduced adiposity (β = -.12 [-.16, -.08], p < .001), fewer difficulties with moderate (β = -.18 [-.22, -.14], p < .001) and basic activities of daily living (β = -.20 [-.24, -.16], p < .001), and a decreased hazard rate for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.67 [0.47, 0.95], p < .001), with a standard deviation increase in cumulative social advantage predicting a 33% reduction in the hazard rate. The ameliorative influence of cumulative social advantage was consistent across sex, race, and education. These findings highlight the complex relationship between social connections and critical health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of considering cumulative social advantage as a potential explanation for understanding individual differences in health across the lifespan.

Defined by international and U.S. frameworks, trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through fraud, force, or coercion for purposes such as labor, sexual exploitation, or organ harvesting. Psychology provides a unique lens to understand, prevent, and address this issue by examining the underlying psychological mechanisms used by traffickers and the profound effects on survivors. Traffickers leverage psychological manipulation-grooming, coercion, and trauma bonding-to control victims, while survivors endure severe mental health consequences, including posttraumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, depression, and anxiety. Psychologists play a pivotal role in combating trafficking through research, education, advocacy, and clinical practice. Research informs prevention by identifying vulnerabilities and effective interventions. Education raises public awareness and equips professionals to recognize and support victims. Advocacy shapes policies that uphold human rights and strengthen antitrafficking laws. Clinicians provide essential trauma- and trafficking-informed care tailored to survivors, utilizing evidence-based practices and adjunctive psychological interventions that foster healing and resilience while addressing immediate and long-term impacts. In conclusion, psychology is integral to eradicating human trafficking. By bridging research, practice, and policy, psychology contributes significantly to global antitrafficking efforts, ensuring a lasting impact on addressing this pervasive human rights violation.

Without a critical lens and intentional decolonization efforts, well-intentioned practices can inadvertently reimpose colonial power dynamics in mental health care. This article critiques the implicit universality of Western ethical standards and proposes a culturally responsive ethical framework tailored to majority world contexts. Key principles include cultural contextualization, relational ethics, social justice advocacy, integration of Indigenous practices, and reflective practice. Through a detailed case study adapted from a real-life event, the article illustrates the application of this framework for therapists in navigating complex dilemmas that arise at the intersection of cultural dissonance, systemic inequities, and global power dynamics. Recommendations for training programs are provided, emphasizing the integration of international competence, decolonial approaches, and community-based learning to better prepare therapists for culturally attuned and ethically sound practice.
