Psychometric validation of the French version of the Moral Injury Outcome Scale (Mios)
Overall, the French version of the MIOS is a valid and reliable measure, enabling robust assessment of moral injury among French-speaking populations and broadening its applicability in research and clinical settings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Physical and psychological challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel relief workers supporting natural disaster operations
Natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, result in devastating consequences at the individual and community levels. To date, much of the research reflecting the consequences of natural disasters focuses heavily on victims, with little attention paid to the personnel responding to such disasters. We conducted a systematic review of the challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel supporting natural dis…
Examining the Effects of Nature and Animal Videos on Stress
Animals are often prohibited in public areas, which limit opportunities for people to experience improvements in well-being from their presence. Visual representations of animals, such as videos, may serve as an alternative intervention to the physical presence of live animals. University students, in particular, may benefit from virtual animal-assisted interventions, given that they report high rates of stress, and opportunities to interact with…

The Effect of Dog Videos on Subjective and Physiological Responses to Stress
Research indicates that animal-assisted therapy programs can reduce stress responses. However, animals are not always permitted in public settings. Thus, alternative forms to the physical presence of an animal could be beneficial. The objective of this study was to determine (1) whether exposure to an active-dog video can help improve subjective and physiological responses to stress more than a tranquil-dog video, (2) whether exposure to dog vide…
Effect of Tranquil and Active Video Representations of an Unfamiliar Dog on Subjective Mental States
The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effects of different videos of an unfamiliar dog (tranquil and active) on subjective mental state measures. All participants watched two videos of an unfamiliar dog (tranquil and active). Subjective measures of stress, anxiety, alertness, attention, likeability, and cuteness were assessed. The results showed that the tranquil dog video significantly decreased anxiety only. Additionally, the active do…
Does Viewing a Picture of a Pet During a Mental Arithmetic Task Lower Stress Levels
Pets can reduce stress in their owner; however, they are not always permitted in public and institutional places. This study examined the impact of people viewing a picture of their pet versus other images on stress levels. One hundred and twenty participants were randomly assigned to one of six conditions. These involved completing a mental arithmetic task while viewing a picture of either their personal pet; an unfamiliar animal; a familiar, su…
