  • Loneliness patterns across time and subsequent risk of psychotic experiences, depression, anxiety, and diminished well‐being in adolescents

    Open AccessZui C Narita, Jordan Devylder et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    BACKGROUND: Evidence on the association between loneliness and psychotic experiences in adolescents remains limited. Moreover, loneliness has typically been assessed at a single time point, which fails to capture its dynamic nature. We hypothesized that persistent loneliness, assessed across repeated measures, would be associated with psychotic experiences and other mental health problems. METHODS: Using longitudinal data from 3,171 participants …

  • Age-Related Changes in Item Responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire-9

    Open AccessShinichiro Tomitaka, Yohei Kawasaki et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    This study demonstrated that item responses for the PHQ-9 followed a similar mathematical pattern across the adult lifespan. Moreover, our findings suggested that the probability of a response of "nearly every day" played an important role in age-related changes in PHQ-9 total scores across adulthood

  • Risk perception, self-efficacy, trust for physician, depression, and behavior modification in diabetic patients

    Open AccessHissei Imai, Toshiaki A Furukawa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2020References: 43

    We evaluated the associations of risk perception, self-efficacy, and trust with two health promotion behaviors (food habits and exercise) and depressive mood. Diabetic patients aged between 40 and 64 ( n = 1195) were included in the analyses. Risk perception worsened behavioral changes in terms of food habits and depression, whereas self-efficacy and trust improved food habits, exercise, and depression; trust improved exercise and depression. In …

  • Do newspapers preferentially cover biomedical studies involving national scientists

    Open AccessEstelle Dumas-Mallet, Aran Tajika et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2019

    News value theory rates geographical proximity as an important factor in the process of issue selection by journalists. But does this apply to science journalism? Previous observational studies investigating whether newspapers preferentially cover scientific studies involving national scientists have generated conflicting answers. Here we used a database of 123 biomedical studies, 113 of them involving at least one research team working in eight …

  • Stability of the Distribution of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Scores Against Age in the General Population

    Open AccessShinichiro Tomitaka, Yohei Kawasaki et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2018

    Background: Epidemiological studies using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) have reported inconsistencies regarding the relationship between age and total scores. To determine whether this discrepancy is due to the stability of the distribution of PHQ-9 total scores against age, we investigated whether the total score distribution remains stable during adulthood, and also investigated the mathematical patterns of the total score …

  • Item Response Patterns on the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 in a Nationally Representative Sample of US Adults

    Open AccessShinichiro Tomitaka, Yohei Kawasaki et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2017

    Recent studies have shown that item responses on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and Kessler Screening Scale for Psychological Distress (K6) exhibit the same characteristic item response patterns among the general population. However, the distributional patterns of responses on the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) among the general population have not been adequately studied. Thus, we conducted a pattern analys…

  • Loss of Fractal Heart Rate Dynamics in Depressive Hemodialysis Patients

    Masayo Kojima, Junichiro Hayano et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2008

    Objective: To assess the relationship between depression, reduced heart rate (HR) variability, and altered HR dynamics among patients with end-stage renal disease who are receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy. Methods: We analyzed the 24-hour electrocardiograms of 119 outpatients receiving chronic HD. HR variability was quantified with the standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals, the triangular index, and the powers of the high- (HF), …
