Retrospectively appraised life changes since the German reunification and health
BACKGROUND: The German reunification (1989/1990) was a period of rapid socio-structural transformation, with heterogeneous consequences for work, finances, and personal life in East Germany. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study examined whether retrospectively appraised changes since the reunification are associated with later-life health and whether psychosocial resources show gender-specific indirect associations. METHO…
Exploring adverse childhood experiences in the wake of system change – A natural experiment comparing East and West Germany
BACKGROUND: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have negative effects on individuals necessitating examination to discern contributing conditions. The use of quasi-experimental settings, arising from socio-political changes, offers retrospective insight into the macro-level context. OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of ACEs in the separate macro-systems of both German states, as well as the influence of the socio-political system change due t…
How is Racial Discrimination Assessed in Quantitative Health Research? A Systematic Review from a European Perspective
Racial discrimination is a global issue that affects both physical and mental health. However, a comparative study looking at how racial discrimination is assessed in studies focusing on the effect of racial discrimination on overall health is lacking. This systematic review aimed to compare and describe the most commonly used racial discrimination assessment tools and the connection between racial discrimination and overall health. The review wa…
Barriers to suicide research are also barriers to suicide prevention
Cancer patients are at risk for suicidal crises. There is a need for more research concerning specific risk/protective factors and knowledge about barriers and resources of prevention efforts in clinical practice. This contribution reports on difficulties during the realization of a research project that aimed to address these research gaps, among other approaches, via a patient survey and an interview study with healthcare professionals (HCPs). …
The interplay of coping styles and optimism/pessimism in shaping mental health in long-term survivors of malignant melanoma
This study shows the relevance and need of gender-sensitive psychosocial-care. Especially in men, psychosocial interventions should target maladaptive coping strategies. Within women, fostering optimism seems to be particularly important. As the model did not fit as well for women, more gender-sensitive research is needed to understand potentially different risk/protective factors and needs of support

Incidence of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome by Occupation – 10-Year follow-up of the Gutenberg Health Study
This study shows wide differences in the incidence of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome between occupational groups and highlights the vulnerability of certain occupations. As the workplace is an important platform for interventions, the findings of this study could guide the development of more nuanced and effective workplace health initiatives to promote a healthier workforce for the future
Trajectories of health-related quality of life across age cohorts
This study highlights the importance of considering age, gender, region, income, and education in understanding the trajectories of HRQoL. Target interventions for individuals with certain risk factors can contribute to enhance overall well-being in the population
How Did GDR Socialization in Adolescence Shape Political Attitudes More Than Thirty Years Later
In this article, we investigate the question of whether political socialization in the German Democratic Republic before the fall of the Berlin Wall has had an effect on current attitudes toward German unification and the role of intra-German migration in this context. We used the data of the Saxon Longitudinal Study to measure gdr identification of the respondents in 1987 and to test their influence on attitudes toward unification more than 30 y…
Switching location—shifting mindset? The attitude towards female employment of East–West migrants in Germany
The strong migration of former East German residents to the western part of Germany opens a unique way to study the impact of migration modifying gender-related attitudes towards division of labor. While in West Germany more traditional gender attitudes have been prevailing for decades, the East pursued more progressive attitudes regarding the home and labor domain. However, attitudes of East-to-West migrants are mostly unknown. Thus, this articl…
Convenience behavior in German university students is associated with sociodemographic, study- and health-related factors
Background The transition from school to university is often accompanied by a change in students’ lifestyles. So far little is known whether convenience behavior is an essential factor affecting students’ health and social interaction. In a heterogeneous population regard to sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics the Convenience Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) showed a better relationship between convenience-related behavior with overwe…

Mental health symptoms and burdens after a Sars-CoV-2 infection
The results suggest that mental health care should focus on individuals who suffer from a severe acute COVID-19 infection or have a history of mental illness
How socio-political change is associated with the number of individually reported negative life events
BACKGROUND: Socio-political change often leads to disruptions in employment and social networks, which can exacerbate health issues and increase mortality rates. These consequences are likely observed as an increase in negative life events (NLEs), serving as indicators of the broader social and health impacts. Using the German reunification in 1989/1990 as an example, this study investigates changes in reported numbers of NLEs and differences reg…
The effects of effort-reward imbalance on the job, overcommitment, and income on life satisfaction in Germany from a longitudinal perspective
The importance of internal work structures in terms of recognition, adequate pay, advancement opportunities, or time pressure were underlined. As compared to the West, Easterners' life satisfaction benefitted more from higher income but not more from a lower imbalance or lower overcommitment. The interplay between materialistic and nonmaterialistic rewards at work should be focused on in the future
Counseling and support services for healthcare workers in German university hospitals during the pandemic—descriptive results of a Germany-wide cross-sectional survey
Background: Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) are experiencing tremendous levels of emotional and physical stress. Hospitals are trying to help personnel cope with work-related pressure. The aim of this study was to assess HCWs' awareness and utilization of counseling and support services during the pandemic, HCWs' unmet counseling and support needs, and the type and content of these services. Methods: A cross-sectional on…
Mental health state and its determinants in German university students across the Covid-19 pandemic
Background Students were at an increased risk for elevated mental symptoms during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels. As universities remained closed much longer than anticipated, the mental burden was expected to persist through the second year of the pandemic. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of mental distress from 2019 through 2021 and identify risk factors for elevated mental burden, …
Burnout, self-rated general health and life satisfaction among teachers and other academic occupational groups
Introduction: Teachers work in a job with specific demands that can strain individual coping capabilities and can pose a risk for the development of psychological problems. Prior studies showed that teachers - in comparison with other occupational groups - had high risks of job-related psychological exhaustion. In our study we compared teachers and other occupational groups on burnout, general life satisfaction and self-rated general health. In a…

Self-Criticism in the General Population
Self-criticism is a stable personality trait identified as a serious risk factor for psychopathology and weight-related health problems. Therefore, it is relevant to epidemiological research, which requires a relatively brief instrument for measuring trait self-criticism in the general population. The current study introduces a brief measure of self-criticism and presents empirical results that inform on its reliability and validity. Based on the…

Adherence and effectiveness of an emotion-based psychodynamic online self-help during and after inpatient and day-care psychotherapy
Adherence to the online self-help program KEN-Online was lower in the naturalistic setting than in a previous clinical trial, but was still associated with greater program effectiveness. Adherence-promoting measures are crucial to increase the effectiveness of such interventions in clinical settings
Is (Disordered) Social Networking Sites Usage a Risk Factor for Dysfunctional Eating and Exercise Behavior
Our results confirm that disordered social networking sites use represents a risk factor for body image dissatisfaction and associated eating disorders
Gender-Differential Association Between Loneliness and Alcohol Consumption
Loneliness is an established risk factor for impaired health. However, the evidence of whether increased alcohol consumption is a coping mechanism to alleviate loneliness for both genders remains sparse. The cross-sectional study included 8898 men and 8910 women (mean age of 56.2 ± 11.5 years) from three population-based cohort studies in Germany (KORA-FF4, GHS, and SHIP. Daily alcohol consumption (g/day) was measured, and risky drinking was iden…
Historical and regional particularities in the prevalence of traumatic events and posttraumatic stress disorder in East and West Germany
Our data suggests that socio-political factors may need to be considered when accounting for differences in occurrence rates of traumatic events, but not for prevalence rates of PTSD, between East and West Germany. People who have experienced WW II have a higher risk of suffering from PTSD. Future epidemiological trauma research should take historical and regional peculiarities of countries into account
How to study the ‘quality of psychoanalytic treatments’ and their long‐term effects on patients' well‐being
How can we study the 'quality of psychoanalytic treatments'? The authors attempt to answer this question by discussing a naturalistic, multi-perspective and representative follow-up study of psychoanalyses and long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapies. We studied a representative sample (n = 401) of all the patients who had terminated their psychoanalytic treatments with members of the German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) between 1990 and 199…
Permanently online and permanently procrastinating? The mediating role of Internet use for the effects of trait procrastination on psychological health and well-being
A growing number of studies suggest that Internet users frequently utilize online media as “tools for procrastination.” This study thus investigated the relationship between trait procrastination, Internet use, and psychological well-being in a representative sample of N = 1,577 German Internet users. The results revealed that trait procrastination was associated with an increased use of leisure-related online content and impaired control over In…
The Emerging Dialogue Between Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience
Current progress in the cognitive neurosciences is highly relevant to the development of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Neuroscience is today becoming mature enough to provide empirical biological approaches for the investigation of psychoanalytic models and observations. The current state of functional neuroimaging techniques is reviewed, selected paradigms and findings relevant to psychotherapy research are presented, and ways to pursue th…
Mobile (Self-)Socialization
Two of the most important developmental tasks in adolescence are developing autonomy and establishing relationships (i.e., friendships and romantic relationships). Self-socialization processes are relevant in mastering these developmental tasks. Mobile media are predestined as tools for such self-socialization: Their affordances—universality, private accessibility, and ubiquity—closely match the developmental needs of adolescents and no other med…
How to measure sustained psychic transformations in long-term treatments of chronically depressed patients
Worldwide, the pressure on psychoanalysis to prove the results of its treatments according to the criteria of so-called evidence-based medicine has increased. While a large number of studies on the results of psychoanalytic short-term therapies are now available, such studies are still largely lacking on psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic long-term therapies. In a large multicentre study, the results of psychoanalytical and cognitive-behavioural l…
Levels of emotional awareness
The need to establish the efficacy of psychoanalytic long-term treatments has promoted efforts to operationalize psychic structure and structural change as key elements of psychoanalytic treatments and their outcomes. Current, promising measures of structural change, however, require extensive interviews and rater training. The purpose of this paper is to present the theory and measurement of Levels of Emotional Awareness (LEA) and to illustrate …

On the association of interpersonal trust with right-wing extremist and authoritarian attitudes
Right-wing extremism and authoritarianism have been identified as major, if not the major threats to democracy in recent years. The rise of right-wing extremist and populist parties in many democratic countries throughout the world has renewed the interest in identifying the roots and determinants of these anti-democratic attitudes. Even though factors on many levels of analysis (macro-, meso- and micro-level) have been taken into consideration a…

Gender Differences in Escapist Uses of Sexually Explicit Internet Material
Between commodification and altruism
The German transplant law (TGP) of 1997 only recognises organ donation if the donor agrees (‘extended consent’) and if done for altruistic reasons. Several alternatives will be discussed here, including incentives and passive agreement. Based upon a representative survey, the authors examined the attitudes of Germans towards several European models of organ donation and their attitude towards organ donation in general whilst living and after deat…

Grief and Depression After Miscarriage
Bereavement is a major risk factor for physical illness, grief, depression, and anxiety. In contrast to recent tendencies in the psychiatric literature to equate grief and depression, we propose that a careful discrimination between the two must be made for diagnostic, therapeutic, and investigative purposes. We report the results of a longitudinal study of a frequent but neglected event, miscarriage early in pregnancy, to make this point. Clinic…
How to study the ‘quality of psychoanalytic treatments’ and their long‐term effects on patients' well‐being

Theory of Mind and Emotional Awareness Deficits in Patients With Somatoform Disorders
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether deficits are present in the mental representation of emotion signals and whether these are related to more general deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM) functioning test. To test this hypothesis in patients suffering from somatoform disorders, we used the Frith-Happé-Animations Task (AT)-an established ToM measure. We previously demonstrated that somatization in psychiatric patients is associated with decreased emotional …

Altered Patterns of Heartbeat-Evoked Potentials in Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder
OBJECTIVE: Core features of depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPD) are emotional numbing and feelings of disembodiment. Although there are several neurophysiological findings supporting subjective emotional numbing, the psychobiology of disembodiment remains unclear. METHODS: Heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs), which are considered psychophysiological indicators for the cortical representation of afferent signals originating from the card…
The German version of the Perceived Stress Scale – psychometric characteristics in a representative German community sample
BACKGROUND: The Perceived Stress Scale Cohen (J Health Soc Behav 24:385-96, 1983) is a widely and well-established self-report scale measuring perceived stress. However, the German version of the PSS-10 has not yet been validated. Thus, the purposes of this representative study were to psychometrically evaluate the PSS-10, and to provide norm values for the German population. METHODS: The PSS-10 and standardized scales of depression, anxiety, fat…

Digital Stress over the Life Span
The present study investigated the psychological health effects and motivational origins of digital stress based on a representative survey of 1,557 German Internet users between 14 and 85 years of age. Communication load resulting from private e-mails and social media messages as well as Internet multitasking were positively related to perceived stress and had significant indirect effects on burnout, depression, and anxiety. Perceived social pre…
A Stepwise Psychotherapy Intervention for Reducing Risk in Coronary Artery Disease (SPIRR-CAD)
BACKGROUND: Depression predicts adverse prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), but previous treatment trials yielded mixed results. We tested the hypothesis that stepwise psychotherapy improves depressive symptoms more than simple information. METHODS: In a multicenter trial, we randomized 570 CAD patients scoring higher than 7 on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-depression subscale to usual care plus either one inform…

Loneliness in the general population
BACKGROUND: While loneliness has been regarded as a risk to mental and physical health, there is a lack of current community data covering a broad age range. This study used a large and representative German adult sample to investigate loneliness. METHODS: Baseline data of the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS) collected between April 2007 and April 2012 (N = 15,010; 35-74 years), were analyzed. Recruitment for the community-based, prospective, observa…
