Exploring the predictive value of structural covariance networks for the diagnosis of schizophrenia
Open AccessClara Vetter, Clara S Vetter et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025
These patterns of results show that different SCN computation approaches capture different aspects of the disease. While REF-SCNs contain valuable information for discriminating schizophrenia from healthy control individuals, KLS-SCNs may capture more nuanced symptom-level characteristics similar to those captured by PCA of regional GMV
Youth Justice Staff Perspectives on Psychological Resilience Interventions and Outcomes in Young People Who Offend
Open AccessRowan Hodgkinson, Stuart Beattie et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior2025References: 42
Interventions aimed at increasing psychological resilience are an important factor in reducing recidivism in young people. However, little is known about how practitioners understand, apply, and assess the efficacy of the interventions they deliver. This knowledge gap is concerning as case workers are at the forefront of intervention delivery, where intervention success has wide implications for the young person and society. To provide some of th…

The heterogeneity of attenuated and brief limited psychotic symptoms: Association of contents with age, sex, country, religion, comorbidities, and functioning
Open AccessChristian Theisen, Marlene Rosen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023
Psychosis-risk patients report a wide range of different contents of APS/BIPS, underlining the psychopathological heterogeneity of this group but also revealing a potential core set of contents. Compared to earlier reports on North-American samples, our maximum prevalence rates of contents were considerably lower; this likely being related to a stricter rating of APS/BIPS and cultural influences, in particular, higher schizotypy reported in North…
Adding a Dimension to the Dichotomy: Affective Processes Are Implicated in the Relationship Between Autistic and Schizotypal Traits
Open AccessFelicity V Larson, Adam P Wagner et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020
Our findings suggest that positive and disorganized schizotypy, in particular, have a relationship with affective lability. This, in turn, supports the idea of emotional processes as related to the development of schizotypal traits and psychosis across all individuals, regardless of autism diagnostic status. We found no evidence of empathy relating to any subscale of schizotypy, or the total schizotypy score. We contend that emotional processes s…
Basic Symptoms Are Associated With Age in Patients With a Clinical High-Risk State for Psychosis: Results From the PRONIA Study
Open AccessHelene Walger, Linda A Antonucci et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020
In community studies, both attenuated psychotic symptoms (APS) and basic symptoms (BS) were more frequent but less clinically relevant in children and adolescents compared to adults. In doing so, they displayed differential age thresholds that were around age 16 for APS, around age 18 for perceptive BS, and within the early twenties for cognitive BS. Only the age effect has previously been studied and replicated in clinical samples for APS. Thus,…

The Artificial Memory of Mr. Polly: Memory Simulation in Databases and the Emergence of Knowledge
Gisela Susanne Bahr, William H Allen et al.ARTICLELeonardo2019References: 1
Human memory may be characterized by five dimensions: (1) large capacity; (2) associativity; (3) diversity of memory systems; (4) change over time; and (5) a unified memory experience. The organization and multidimensionality underlying memory can be represented with set theory. This offers a new mathematical perspective, which is the foundation for the cognitive memory architecture Ardemia. The authors present a relational database implementatio…
Is it all in the reward? Peers influence risk-taking behaviour in young adulthood
Open AccessRenate L E P Reniers, Renate Reniers et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2017Cited by: 4References: 55
The presence of peers is suggested to increase risk-taking behaviour by heightening response to reward. The current study investigated this using a computerized financial risk-taking task which was performed twice by a group of young adults (n = 201, median age 19.8 years): once alone and once while in the presence of two peers. An overall increase in risk-taking was observed when with peers compared to when alone (CHANGE). CHANGE was positively …
Challenge and hindrance stressors and wellbeing-based work–nonwork interference: A diary study of portfolio workers
Open AccessStephen J Wood, Stephen Wood et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2016Cited by: 4References: 62
Stress-based work–nonwork interference, or negative spillover, is associated with transference of negative emotions from the work to the nonwork domain. It is argued that work–nonwork interference resulting from high work demands does not necessarily entail the reproduction of any affective states. First, calmness can result in lower work–nonwork interference and enthusiasm in higher levels. Second, hindrance stressors can be negatively related t…

The romance of human resource management and business performance, and the case for big science
Open AccessToby D Wall, Stephen J Wood et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2005Cited by: 25References: 45
It is often assumed that research over the last decade has established an effect of human resource management (HRM) practices on organizational performance. Our critical assessment of existing studies finds that, although collectively they have opened up a promising line of inquiry, their methodological limitations make such a conclusion premature. We argue that future progress depends on using stronger research methods and design that, in turn, …
On the Validity of Subjective Measures of Company Performance
Open AccessToby D Wall, Jonathan Michie et al.ARTICLEPersonnel Psychology2004
Subjective measures of company performance are widely used in research and typically are interpreted as equivalent to objective measures. Yet, the assumption of equivalence is open to challenge. We compared the use of both types of measure in 3 separate samples. Findings were consistent in showing that: (a) subjective and objective measures of company performance were positively associated (convergent validity); (b) those relationships were stron…

Computer-Administered Visual Analogue Mood Scales: Rapid and Valid Assessment of Mood in HIV Positive Individuals
Open AccessPaul Maruff, Stephen J Wood et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1994
Studies of cognition in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus must take into account the effects of mood. Standardised mood-rating questionnaires are oftentimes consuming and fatiguing for such patients and so may be omitted from experiments. Visual analogue rating scales for affective state are rapidly administered and are quite acceptable to subjects. In 64 HIV seropositive homosexual or bisexual males, measures of anxiety and depressi…

Japanization and/or Toyotaism
Open AccessStephen J Wood, Stephen WoodARTICLEWork Employment and Society1991Cited by: 14References: 22
Recently there has been a proliferation of neologisms to describe the Japanese model of management and its diffusion to other countries - for example, Toyotaism, and Japanization. Some have argued that such terms can be used to describe the direction in which, at least, British industry or work organization has been heading. This paper reviews some of this 'Japanization' literature and shows that there is a good deal of confusion and lack of prec…
