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.

Urgency is a facet of impulsivity defined as the tendency to engage in rash action when experiencing strong emotions. Thus, as defined, urgency is a dynamic, if … then process. However, urgency has mostly been studied using cross-sectional dispositional scales and laboratory-based tasks. Recent work modeling urgency dynamically as the covariance of momentary emotion and impulsivity has found no associations with trait scores of urgency and impulsivity. We propose that the co-occurrence only of intense instances of emotion and impulsivity may better match urgency's conceptualization. In exploratory analyses of ambulatory assessment data (N = 342), we found a significant correlation between dispositional impulsivity and intense emotion-impulsivity co-occurrences, but not with their momentary covariance. We replicated these results in five preregistered ambulatory assessment studies (total N = 844). These findings have implications for the measurement of momentary urgency, and for the articulation of other intense and dynamic events in the moment.

Despite its widespread use, \"normal\" remains an ambiguous and context-dependent term, reflecting statistical frequency and sociocultural expectations. \"Normal\" is also commonly understood as indicative of health. This Viewpoint examines the increasing use of normality-related concepts in recent editions of the DSM and emphasizes how the term \"normal\" has been used to distinguish between health and illness-often without a clear definition. Dimensional approaches to mental disorders-because they often rely on normative data and expectations to define the boundaries of these dimensions-do not resolve this ambiguity; instead, they amplify the need to clarify the meaning of normality. Moreover, emerging technologies such as digital phenotyping and big data analysis may exacerbate these issues by equating statistical averages with indicators of mental health. We conclude that psychiatry must either critically reevaluate its reliance on the concept of normality within diagnostic systems or, alternatively, offer a clear and consistent definition of what \"normal\" means in relation to health and what it is intended to signify.

While existing theories have demonstrated high research and clinical utility, they have provided limited quantitative explanations of mechanisms. Previous computational modeling studies have primarily focused on isolated factors, posing challenges for advancing clinical theories holistically. To address this gap and leverage the strengths of clinical theories and computational modeling in a synergetic manner, it is crucial to develop quantitative models that integrate major factors proposed by comprehensive theoretical models. In this study, using social anxiety disorder (SAD) as an example, we present a novel approach to formalize conceptual models by combining cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT) with active inference modeling, an innovative computational approach that elucidates human cognition and action. This CBT-informed active inference model integrates multiple mechanistic factors of SAD in a quantitative manner. Through a series of simulations, we systematically examined the effects of these factors on the belief about social threat and tendency of engaging in safety behaviors. The resultant model inherits the conceptual comprehensiveness of CBT and the quantitative rigor of active inference modeling, delineating previously elusive pathogenetic pathways and enabling the formulation of concrete model predictions for future research. Overall, this research presents a novel quantitative model of SAD that unifies major mechanistic factors proposed by CBT and active inference modeling. It highlights the feasibility and potential of integrating clinical theory and computational modeling to advance our understanding of psychopathology.

This partly results from critics conflating our hypotheses with those of other authors, but we have created confusion ourselves by stating two different general factor hypotheses, which we differentiate here. In the psychometric general factor hypothesis, the general factor is the term in bifactor models that quantifies the variance shared by all measured psychological problems, whereas two or more specific factors are defined by orthogonal pools of variance shared only by items loading on each specific factor. Although the psychometric bifactor model is sometimes viewed as an alternative to taxonomic models based on correlated factor models, it is not. Correlated factors models properly describe the overlapping dimensions of psychological problems experienced in everyday life. The separate hierarchical causal hypothesis is that correlations among the problems that define the general factor result from some of their causes and mechanisms being directly or indirectly shared, whereas the specific factors are the result of other orthogonal causes being shared by subsets of problems. There is growing evidence that some genetic and environmental causes-and their attendant psychobiological mechanisms-are shared to varying degrees with essentially all psychological problems. Other independent causes and mechanisms influence only subgroups of psychological problems (e.g., internalizing problems).
