The role of appearance-based and interpersonal rejection sensitivity in youth loss of control eating: A one-year longitudinal study
A significant number of youths experience loss of control eating (LOC), characterized by a sense of losing control over eating, regardless of food amount. Binge eating, a common LOC variant, involves consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often accompanied by distress. Previous research suggests that interpersonal and appearance-based rejection sensitivity (RS), the tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and overreact to reje…
Through thick and thin: How friendship and psychological flexibility shape our response to being ostracized
Introduction: Social connections are vital to human wellbeing, yet interactions often entail misunderstandings and disappointments. When ostracized, people react with strong emotional pain. In this experiment, we investigated whether principles derived from psychotherapy and/or the presence of a friend could mitigate negative reflexive and reflective reactions to ostracism induced using the Cyberball experiment. We tested how participants respond…

Predictors of Embarrassment in Daily Social Interactions in Social Phobia, Major Depression and Healthy Controls
Introduction: Embarrassment is a social affect. Once experienced in social interactions (SIs), it can be a precursor of clinical symptoms like depersonalization and ruminative thinking. This experience sampling study investigated predictors of embarrassment in social phobia (SP), major depressive disorder (MDD), and controls. Methods: For seven days, a total of n = 165 patients (n = 47 SP, n = 118 MDD) and n = 119 controls completed five surveys …
Is giving receiving? The influence of autonomy on the association between prosocial behavior and well-being
Prosocial behavior represents an evolutionary advantage for individuals. In line with this claim, several studies showed a positive relation between prosocial behavior and well-being. However, negative relations were also reported in the literature. This study aimed to assess the relation between prosocial behavior and well-being using an event sampling methodology. Further, we were interested in two contextual factors (closeness of the receiver …

Impact of contextualizing information on aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses to art in a museum: A naturalistic randomized controlled trial
Contextual information influences aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses to art, yet these influences have seldom been analyzed with real artworks in a real museum. Consequently, this study set out to assess the aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses of participants in an art museum viewing 6 artworks of Flemish expressionism. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the experimental conditions, either receivi…
Motor Competence and Physical Activity in Early Childhood: Stability and Relationship
Background Normal motor development and adequate levels of engagement in physical activity during the early years of life form the foundation of long-term psychological and physiological health. This is one of the very few studies that investigate the stability and relationships of motor competence and physical activity in preschool children. Methods Baseline and 12-month follow-up data of 550 preschool children aged 2 to 6 years from the Swiss P…

Emotional eating is related with temperament but not with stress biomarkers in preschool children
Emotional eating (EE) corresponds to a change in eating behavior in response to distress and results in an increase of food intake (overeating (EOE)) or in food avoidance (undereating (EUE)). EE has been related to temperament (i.e. negative emotionality) and dysregulated stress biomarkers in school-aged children; parenting has been understood to influence this relationship in older children. The aim of the study was to investigate to which exten…

The importance of physical activity and sleep for affect on stressful days: Two intensive longitudinal studies
We investigated the potential stress-buffering effect of 3 health behaviors-physical activity, sleep quality, and snacking-on affect in the context of everyday life in young adults. In 2 intensive longitudinal studies with up to 65 assessment days over an entire academic year, students (Study 1, N = 292; Study 2, N = 304) reported stress intensity, sleep quality, physical activity, snacking, and positive and negative affect. Data were analyzed us…
Aging Prisoners in Switzerland: An analysis of Their Health Care Utilization
Study findings underline that older prisoners utilized health care more often than younger prisoners although in most models the finding did not reach statistical significance. The prison system must develop solutions to address the needs of an aging population, particularly those with physical and mental health problems

Maternal Psychosocial Adversity During Pregnancy Is Associated With Length of Gestation and Offspring Size at Birth: Evidence From a Population-Based Cohort Study
OBJECTIVE: To study in a large-scale cohort with prospective data the associations of psychosocial adversities during pregnancy with length of gestation and offspring size at birth. METHODS: We defined a priori two types of psychosocial adversity during pregnancy: life stress (perceived burdens in major areas of life) and emotional symptoms (e.g. anxiety). Measures of offspring size at birth, including body weight, body length, abdominal and head…
Relationship between gender role, anger expression, thermal discomfort and sleep onset latency in women
BACKGROUND: Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both TDCE and prolonged SOL. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis whether stereotypic feminine gender socialization (SFGS) is related to anger suppression (experienced anger inwards, Anger-In), which in turn could affect TDCE and SOL. METHODS: 1…

A Geographic Classification of Geography Material as Based Upon the Dewey Classification System
I T IS a matter of common knowledge to geographers and librarians alike that both the Dewey Decimal system and that of the Library of Congress fail to provide a geographic classification for most of the academic publications appearing particularly in the various branches of the rapidly expanding field of human geography. The following remark by one of forty-four librarians who have indicated this inadequacy is to the point: Certainly neither the …
