Strengthening psychological resilience (PR) and emotion regulation (ER) during challenging periods is vital to foster protective factors and cultivating effective coping strategies. This study aimed to longitudinally examine the association between ER and PR in Turkish adolescents while considering mental health as a control variable. Data collection took place twice, with an interval of three months, from December 2021 to March 2022, involving 929 students, comprising 465 girls and 464 boys, all aged between 10 and 15 years (M = 12, SE = 0.92). The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.00 and MPlus 8.7. We performed an autoregressive cross-lagged analysis to investigate the association between ER and PR. Our findings indicated that higher levels of PR were positively associated with internal functional ER (ER-IF) and negatively associated with internal dysfunctional ER (ER-ID) both at T1 and T2 cross-sectionally. Longitudinally, baseline PR was positively associated with ER-IF three months later, without significant gender differences. No longitudinal association was observed between PR and ER-ID. Moreover, greater mental health problems at T1 were positively associated with T2 ER-ID among women. Overall, our findings suggest that mental health professionals, teachers, and others working with adolescents should incorporate practices that strengthen psychological resilience to improve their well-being and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"819-841"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present study is to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in marriage between entrapment and mental well-being by examining the relationships between actors and partners. The actor-partner interdependence mediation model was employed to apply a dyadic approach to the data collected from 423 (N = 846) married couples for this purpose. The mean age of the women was 35.80 (SD = 9.57), while the mean age of the men was 39.0 (SD = 10.46). The results indicated that the relationships between entrapment, mindfulness, and mental well-being were substantial for both genders. It was discovered that the entrapment experienced by each of the couples predicted their own well-being through the mindfulness of the other in marriage in the context of partner effects. In other words, women's entrapment predicted their mental well-being, which in turn predicted men's mindfulness in marriage. Similarly, the mindfulness of women in marriage predicts the mental well-being of men. Consequently, it is anticipated that the well-being of both spouses will be enhanced if the mindfulness levels of individuals experiencing entrapment are high.","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"715-727"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13518484/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144268488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationships between childhood experiences, suicide cognitions, happiness, and mental well-being have been examined with cross-sectional methods. However, the lack of any longitudinal study in which these variables were examined together made it necessary to conduct this study. In this study, we tested whether suicide cognitions and subjective happiness serially mediate the relationship between positive childhood experiences and mental well-being. After matching the data obtained from the first (T1) and second waves (T2) of the study, the final sample consisted of 234 Turkish young adults (M = 20.70 years, SD = 2.22). Participants completed the Positive Childhood Experiences Scale, The Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale Short Form. For this purpose, a study was conducted in two separate time waves and structural equation modeling was used to test longitudinal serial mediation between variables. According to the results, suicide cognitions and subjective happiness play a serial mediating role in the longitudinal relationship between positive childhood experiences and mental well-being. These findings provide both theoretical insight into the cognitive and emotional mechanisms linking early childhood experiences to mental well-being and practical implications for mental health promotion in young adulthood.

Despite advancements in our understanding of ADHD, the factors influencing its course remain unclear. The inflammatory hypothesis suggests that immune dysregulation may contribute to ADHD pathophysiology. However, research examining inflammation in adult ADHD is limited. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare complete blood count (CBC) parameters and derived inflammatory indices between adult patients with ADHD and healthy controls, with particular attention to sex differences. The study included 72 drug-free adults with ADHD (aged 18-38 years) diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) and 72 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. CBC parameters and inflammatory indices, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), basophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (BLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), and pan-immune inflammatory value (PIV), were compared between the groups. Monocyte counts were significantly higher in the ADHD group than in the control group (p = 0.019). Sex-specific analysis revealed no significant differences in inflammatory parameters among females. However, male patients with ADHD showed significantly elevated leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte counts compared to male controls (p = 0.031, p = 0.049, and p = 0.038, respectively). These findings suggest that elevated monocyte levels, indicative of chronic inflammation, may have diagnostic implications in adult ADHD, particularly among males. These findings underscore the necessity to incorporate sex-specific biological mechanisms when investigating and developing therapeutic strategies for ADHD.","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"865-878"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As more people face ecological changes, more people experience challenging emotions such as anxiety about the future. In this study, a model of the relationship between environmental identity, intolerance of uncertainty and mental well-being was tested using structural equation modelling to determine the mediating role of eco-anxiety. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 392 individuals (aged 18-59) in Türkiye using convenience sampling method. SEM showed the partial mediating effect of eco-anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty on the relationship between environmental identity and mental well-being. Environmental identity has a direct and indirect effect on mental well-being through eco-anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty. Eco-anxiety also has a direct and indirect effect on mental well-being through intolerance of uncertainty. As a result, in the face of the negative effects of ecological changes on people's mental health, individuals with higher levels of environmental identity will be more likely to develop good mental health when they can control their levels of eco-anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty. In addition, the positive effect of the measures that can be taken against climate change on nature is an important factor that can increase the well-being of individuals. These findings suggest that interventions targeting eco-anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty, particularly in culturally diverse populations, can promote better mental well-being in the face of climate-related stress. Developing psychological strategies that enhance environmental identity could serve as an important tool for fostering resilience against the psychological impacts of ecological changes.","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":"843-864"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

University students (N = 2,353), aged 17-25 (Mage=18.95, SDage=1.52), completed the Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and the Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory. Findings suggest that emotion dysregulation potentially explains the link between school-based PB and NSSI in young adulthood. Mediation analyses revealed that self-reported PB was indirectly related to past-year NSSI through general emotion dysregulation (β = 0.1, CI95% [0.02, 0.17]). Specifically, the limited access to emotion regulation strategies (β = 0.12, CI95% [0.05, 0.19]) and difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior (β = 0.05, CI95% [0.00, 0.09]) dimensions significantly mediated the PB-NSSI link. These findings highlight the clinical relevance of ED processes in understanding NSSI risk among individuals with bullying histories. Intervention and prevention programs targeting emotion regulation skill development may help mitigate the impact of PB and reduce self-injury risk.

The findings of the study indicate that the relationship between leisure boredom and short video addiction was fully mediated by two variables (depression and sensation seeking). Specifically, adolescents experiencing leisure boredom were more likely to report higher levels of depression and sensation seeking, leading to a higher risk of short video addiction. The results suggest that reducing depressive symptoms and regulating sensation seeking behavior may be effective in preventing short video addiction among adolescents experiencing boredom during leisure time.
