The role of safety behaviors in exposure-based treatment for panic disorder and agoraphobia: associations to symptom severity, treatment course, and outcome.

The potentially detrimental effects of safety behaviors during exposure therapy are still subject to debate. Empirical findings are inconsistent, and few studies have investigated effects of idiosyncratic safety behavior manifestations during exposure or in everyday life. These limitations might be due to a lack of appropriate measures that address individual safety behaviors. We examined psychometric properties and predictive value of the Texas Safety Maneuver Scale (TSMS), a questionnaire specifically targeting safety behaviors in panic disorder and agoraphobia. Effects of safety behavior us

Racial discrimination and posttraumatic stress symptoms as pathways to sexual HIV risk behaviors among urban Black heterosexual men.

In light of evidence that racial discrimination and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are neither rare nor extraordinary for many Black urban men, we examined the relationship between everyday racial discrimination and sexual HIV risk behaviors in a predominantly low-income sample of 526 urban Black heterosexually identified men; 64% of whom were unemployed and 55% of whom reported a history of incarceration. We tested the hypothesis that PTSS would mediate the relationship between everyday racial discrimination and sexual risk. Participants in the predominantly low-income urban sample rang

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects

Depressive symptoms and human immunodeficiency virus risk behavior among men who have sex with men in Chennai, India.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) in India are a hidden population, facing unique environmental stressors and cultural pressures that place them at risk for depression. Depression may affect HIV risk behavior in MSM, and may affect the degree to which MSM may benefit from HIV prevention interventions. Depression in MSM in India, however, has largely been understudied. Two hundred ten MSM in Chennai completed an interviewer-administered behavioral assessment battery, which included the 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), demographics, sexual risk and identity, and o

Psychiatric symptom patterns, proximal risk factors, and sexual risk behaviors among youth in outpatient substance abuse treatment.

The purpose of the current study was to classify adolescents receiving outpatient treatment for alcohol or other drug (AOD) problems via self-reports of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed. American Psychiatric Association, 1994) psychiatric symptoms, and to identify group differences in measures of proximal risk factors for sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) and self-reported SRBs. Structured interviews were administered to 300 adolescent clients (202 males, 98 females; M = 16.22 years; SD = 1.13) receiving treatment services as part of a larger National Institute on A

A comparative study of behavioral and psychological signs and symptoms of dementia in patients with dementia referred to psychogeriatric services in Korea and the United Kingdom.

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of cross-cultural studies of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). METHOD: BPSD were examined in a consecutive series of referrals to a psychogeriatric service in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and in Korea, using the BEHAVE-AD, the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia and the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE). The U.K. service served a well-defined geographical catchment area with a multidisciplinary team and emphasis on home assessments. The Korean service was a nationwide service with limited community resources. The correlates of indivi

Cynical hostility, socioeconomic position, health behaviors, and symptom load: a cross-sectional analysis in a Danish population-based study.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the cross-sectional association between cynical hostility and high symptom load in a Danish population-based study. Furthermore, the aim was to investigate to what extent health risk behaviors mediated this association. METHODS: Data were based on a postal questionnaire in a Danish random sample of 3426 men and 3699 women aged 40 or 50 years. Cynical hostility was measured by the 8-item Cynical Distrust Scale. High symptom load was assessed by physiological and mental symptoms experienced within the last 4 weeks. Confounders were age and socioeconomic position, while pot

Health literacy as an indirect pathway in the association between health promotion behaviors and social network addiction symptoms among adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Although health-promoting behaviors and health literacy may be protective factors against Social network addiction symptoms, little is known about the mechanisms underlying these interactions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health promotion and social network addiction symptoms among adolescents and to examine the mediating role of health literacy in this relationship. METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 475 adolescents aged 15-18 years recruited from four secondary schools in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt, using a multistage r

Emotional imagery alters symptom perception but not postural or respiratory behavior in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) often coincides with alterations in postural behavior and respiration which contribute to pain. Increasing evidence suggests that emotions are closely related to postural behavior and respiration. Thereby, emotions can affect symptom perception processes in CNSLBP. This quasi-experimental study examined how emotions affect symptom perception, postural behavior, and respiration in individuals with (n= 40) and without (n= 40) CNSLBP using script-driven emotional imagery. Participants imagined three auditory scripts describing states of relaxation, host

Disordered eating behaviors in persons with type 1 diabetes: frequency, risk factors, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and clinical outcomes.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with significant psychological burden and an elevated prevalence of Disordered Eating Behaviors (DEBs) among persons with T1D (PWT1D). This study examined the frequency of DEBs in PWT1D and investigated their clinical, psychological, and psychiatric aspects, including depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as glycemic outcomes, in a Brazilian population. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to July 2022 with adolescents and young adults with T1D (ages 13-39) recruited nationwide in Brazil via social media. Participants completed an online quest

Association between anxiety symptoms on risky e-biking riding behavior among adolescents: based on gut-brain axis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the association between anxiety symptoms and risky e-bike riding behavior (RERB) among adolescents and to explore whether gut microbiota mediates this relationship. METHODS: Adolescents using e-bikes were recruited through a combined online and offline recruitment approach. Data collection involved supervised electronic questionnaire completion in face-to-face settings, with biological samples collected independently by participants. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale. RERB were evaluated via a structured qu

Joint developmental trajectories of anxious/depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior in Chinese adolescents: The roles of contextual, personality, and cognitive factors.

Internalizing and externalizing problems have been documented to frequently co-occur, yet their joint developmental trajectories and the influences of contextual and individual factors remain poorly understood, particularly among adolescents in resource-limited regions of China. This three-wave longitudinal study investigated independent and joint developmental patterns of anxious/depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior, with attention to the predictive roles of contextual factors (childhood emotional abuse and neglect), individual personality characteristics (rejection sensitivity), and c

Psychosocial symptom networks and high-risk sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men: a network analysis.

BACKGROUND: Psychosocial problems are prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM) and are linked to high-risk sexual behaviors. Previous studies have often examined these factors separately, without considering their interconnections. Network analysis offers a way to explore these relationships, but has seldom been applied to MSM in the context of both mental health and sexual risk. This study aimed to: (1) model psychosocial symptom networks among MSM; (2) compare network structures across demographic subgroups; and (3) examine how central symptoms relate to high-risk sexual behaviors.
