Furthermore, CHR status is associated with reduced cognitive, social, and role functioning. We hypothesize that atypical visuoperceptual organization may lead to downstream impairments in cognitive, social, and role functioning. However, the degree to which visuoperceptual organization can explain such functioning is unclear. Our sample consisted of four groups: a CHR group (<i>n</i> = 339), a mild psychotic-like experiences group (<i>n</i> = 162), a nonpsychotic clinical group (<i>n</i> = 111), and a healthy control group (<i>n</i> = 199). We measured perceptual organization via Ebbinghaus and Mooney Faces tasks. In the Ebbinghaus task, participants judged the size of target circles in the presence of surrounding circles. In the Mooney Faces task, participants reported whether they detected faces in two-tone images. Ebbinghaus context sensitivity correlated with measures of cognitive ability such as symbol coding, <i>r</i>(572) = .13, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> = .007, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.05, 0.21], verbal learning, <i>r</i>(608) = .1, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> = .016, 95% CI [0.02, 0.18], and reading ability, <i>r</i>(550) = .09, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> = .038, 95% CI [0.01, 0.17]. In contrast, Mooney inverted face detection correlated with social functioning, <i>r</i>(636) = -.09, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> = .025, 95% CI [-0.17, -0.01], role functioning, <i>r</i>(638) = -.16, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> < .001, 95% CI [-0.23, -0.08], and social phobia severity, <i>r</i>(616) = .14, <i>p</i><sub>fdr</sub> = .001, 95% CI [0.06, 0.22]. Increased inverted face detection in CHR may reflect overweighting of perceptual priors, which has downstream effects on functioning in school and workplace settings. Contrary to our expectations, Ebbinghaus context sensitivity did not differ between groups but did relate to general cognitive functioning.

Exposure to smoking cues consistently increases craving levels, and research indicates that these peak cravings reliably predict a range of clinically meaningful outcomes. To date, studies have been underpowered, however, to evaluate sociodemographic differences in lab-based cravings. This is unfortunate, as differences across racial identities and sex exist in smoking trends and health-related consequences of smoking. The present cue-exposure study leveraged a large sample size and a multifaceted statistical approach, using both means-based and person-centered analyses, to examine craving dynamics among Black and White and male and female smokers. We conducted preregistered analyses of 617 nicotine-deprived individuals who smoke daily (pooled from seven studies) reporting levels of urge before and during smoking cue exposure (i.e., holding a lit cigarette). The results indicated that Black female and male participants exhibited heightened urge ratings at the outset of the study and were more prone to experiencing maximal peak-provoked craving during cue exposure compared to White female and male participants. Further, White female participants demonstrated heightened cue reactivity relative to White male participants. Findings provide compelling evidence to support a more comprehensive approach to understanding experimentally induced cigarette craving than is currently employed in the literature and highlight the importance of considering intersecting identity factors when examining craving. Clinically, the results underscore the value of lab-based research to address racial and sex inequities in smoking behavior and health outcomes.

Secondary analyses were conducted for a comparative effectiveness smoking cessation clinical trial of combination nicotine replacement therapy, nicotine patches, and varenicline (<i>N</i> = 1,084). Self-reported consummatory anhedonia was assessed at multiple time points pretarget quit day (TQD) and post-TQD, and biochemically confirmed 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence was assessed at 4, 12, and 26 weeks post-TQD. Data collection occurred from May 2012 to November 2015. Analyses were conducted using hierarchical linear modeling, logistic regression, and general linear models. Anhedonia demonstrated a prototypical inverted-U pattern from pre- to post-TQD consistent with withdrawal, which was not moderated by medication condition (<i>p</i>s > .83). Greater postquit anhedonia was associated with lower odds of biochemically confirmed abstinence at 4 weeks (odds ratio [<i>OR</i>] = 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.94, 0.98], <i>p</i> < .001), 12 weeks (<i>OR</i> = 0.96, 95% CI = [0.94, 0.99], <i>p</i> = .001), and 26 weeks (<i>OR</i> = 0.95, 95% CI = [0.93, 0.98], <i>p</i> < .001) post-TQD. These effects remained even after controlling for other withdrawal symptoms and individual characteristics. Gold standard smoking pharmacotherapies had comparable statistical effects on anhedonia's trajectory and association with abstinence during treatment. The results replicate and extend previous research supporting anhedonia as a motivationally significant symptom of nicotine withdrawal. The results suggest anhedonia not only conforms to features of a tobacco withdrawal symptom but is associated with difficulty stopping smoking.

Both gender identity and sexual orientation have been identified as relevant social positions in the development of DEBs. Most existing studies have been unable to examine the intersection of these identities due to limitations in sample size. The present study assessed DEB disparities at the intersection of gender identity and sexual orientation among a large sample of sexual and gender minority adolescents. The sample included <i>n</i> = 9,876 adolescents. Past-year prevalence of dietary restriction, self-induced vomiting, binge eating, and diet pill use was assessed. Data were analyzed with multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy, which assumes individuals within a given subgroup are exposed to similar structural processes like heterosexism that lead to disparities. Pansexual transgender boys were among the three highest prevalence groups for multiple DEBs: Restricting prevalence was 67.1%, vomiting prevalence was 29.1%, and binge eating prevalence was 45.5%. For all outcomes, at least one subgroup had unexpectedly high prevalence; for all outcomes except use of diet pills, at least one subgroup had unexpectedly low prevalence, indicative of interactive intersectional effects. Overall, results demonstrate that DEBs do not universally vary across either gender identity or sexual orientation. Instead, patterns are more complex as marginalized and privileged identities are not associated with only risk or only resiliency. More research is needed on the factors that drive the development of DEBs.
