This article examines the relationships of the perceived motivational climate created by coaches (task-involving vs. ego-involving), athletes’ mindset (growth vs. fixed) and goal orientation (task vs. ego), to their grit. within the framework of achievement motivation theory.

Article discusses how the child-caregiver relationship is the foundation for which intervention occurs. The purpose of this study is to explore how researchers and clinicians might collect direct data on IOH to assess the acceptability of an intervention.

This article investigates the psychometric properties of the Posttrauma Risky Behaviors Questionnaire (PRBQ) using item response theory to examine (a) item analysis (b) person fit, and (c) differential item functioning (DIF) across gender-based groups and two different samples.

Article describes how authors examined publications of medical N-of-1 trials to examine whether they meet the evidence standards and the criteria for demonstrating evidence of a relation between an independent and an outcome variable per the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards for SCEDs. The authors also examined the appropriateness of the data analytic techniques in the special context of N-of-1 designs.

Article on the integration of emotions in memories and cognitive-emotional distinctiveness and posttraumatic stress disorder.

This article uses a prospective research design to measure both actual and perceived posttraumatic growth in an attempt to replicate and extend previous findings.

Article on memory and coping with stress and the relationship between cognitive-emotional distinctiveness, memory valence, and distress.

Article examined the provision of evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) delivered via ideo to home (VTH) at a large Southwestern Veterans Health Administration (VHA) PTSD outpatient clinic.

Article on the theoretical motivational background regarding metacognitive self. Based on this framework, a single-factor structure of metacognitive self is developed from modification of the MCSQ-40 questionnaire and results in a new tool: MCSQ-21.

Article is a study that aims to identify actionable clinical and culture characteristics of IVF treatment that influence blastocyst developmental rate, with the goal of acquiring optimal success.

Article describes study seeking to determine if theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) to prefrontal cortex modulates visual memory accuracy, visual memory awareness, or both, and whether these effects depend on brain hemisphere.

This article discusses the evolution of modern neuropsychology as a field and the concomitant changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

This article examines the association between World Trade Center (WTC)-related post-traumatic stress disorder and cognitive impairment in WTC responders.

This article considers the count and types of traumas (polytraumatization) in relation to post-trauma mental health by conducting a study on the relation of polytraumatization patterns to PTSD clusters, depression, and impulsivity facets. Results indicate that individuals exposed to multiple PTE (potentially traumatizing event) types, particularly interpersonal traumas, may be at risk for more severe post-trauma symptoms.

Article discusses the utility of SCED data for trauma research, provides recommendations for addressing challenges specific to SCED approaches, and introduces a tutorial for two Bayesian models—the Bayesian interrupted time-series (BITS) model and the Bayesian unknown change-point (BUCP) model—that can be used to analyze the typically small sample, autocorrelated, SCED data.

Article states that though adult psychopathic traits emerge from both genetic and environmental risk, no studies have examined etiologic associations between adult psychopathic traits and experiences of parenting in childhood, or the extent to which parenting practices may impact the heritability of adult psychopathic traits using a genetically-informed design. Utilizing a genetically-informed design, the authors found that both genetic and non-shared environmental factors contribute to the emergence of psychopathic traits.

Article examines molecular markers of neuropsychological functioning among elders with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD) and determine the predictive ability of combined molecular markers and select neuropsychological tests in detecting disease presence. This work provides the foundation for the generation of a point‐of‐care device that can be used to screen for AD.

This article aims to examine the link between low-level arsenic exposure and cognitive functioning, and the potential role of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP A35991G, rs10748835) of the AS3MT gene in modifying this link.

Article examining weight loss and physical functioning of obese veterans with comorbid psychological symptoms when participating in weight management programs. The MOVE! program aims to increase healthy eating and physical activity to promote weight loss in obese veterans. Adequately addressing psychological barriers is necessary to maximize outcomes in MOVE! for veterans with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This study examined the preliminary outcomes of administering the Healthy Emotions and Improving Health BehavioR Outcomes (HERO) intervention. HERO is adjunctive cognitive-behavioral therapy to MOVE! that addresses PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptom barriers to engagement in physical activity.

This article describes two studies of individuals with high levels of psychopathic traits. Study 1 explores what aspects of social reward are associated with psychopathic traits, and Study 2 administers these measures to a new group of participants along with two experimental tasks investigating monetary and social reward value.

This article describes a study in which the adult Social Reward Questionnaire is adapted for use with adolescents.

Article discusses study which led to the development of the Social Reward Questionnaire (SRQ), a measure of individual differences in the value of different social rewards.

Article describes study which sought to replicate and extend current knowledge on the relevance of emotion regulation (ER) for psychopathy, focusing on a sample of incarcerated adult males.

This article investigates the impact of mental aerobics on older adults. Findings support the conclusion that MA can be an effective intervention in improving older adults’ affectivity, everyday task self-efficacy, and self-rated health.
