Diagnostic Accuracy of GPT‐Based Large Language Models Across Versions, Prompting Techniques, and Case Presentation Formats
Despite the centrality of the diagnostic assessment in psychiatry, the agreement among mental health practitioners often varies from poor to moderate. The potential of large language models (LLMs; such as gpt‐based models), among other approaches, has been studied to be used as standardized tools to support clinicians’ decision‐making. The current work investigates the diagnostic accuracy of gpt‐based LLMs (gpt‐3.5 and gpt‐5.1) across different c…

Evaluating public health campaigns on health promotion, substance use prevention and physical activity
Public health campaigns on substance use and physical activity aid disease prevention. This review examines how process evaluations are conducted in substance use and physical activity campaigns, focusing on methodologies, theoretical frameworks, implementation quality, fidelity, reach, and delivery. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubM…

A developmental framework of interpersonal neural synchrony
Interpersonal neural synchrony (INS), the temporal alignment of brain activities between individuals, has been proposed as a biomarker for successful communication and smooth social interaction. Surging empirical evidence shows that INS emerges spontaneously between infants, children, and their caregivers from early on in development. Yet, little is known about the developmental preconditions and functions of INS in childhood. This paper presents…
Dynamic Topic Modeling of Kratom Use and Experiences
Traditionally used in Southeast Asia for common ailments, kratom ( Mitragyna speciosa ) is increasingly being adopted in other regions for the self-treatment of pain and mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, and substance use disorder) in absence of clinical supervision and with several toxicities. To gain better insight into the experiences, the motivations, and the patterns underlying kratom use, previous studies have analyzed materi…

Parental care and overprotection predict worry and anxiety symptoms in emerging adult students
Anxiety disorders represent a prevalent mental health concern, with escalating rates, especially among emerging adults. University students, in particular, face a myriad of academic and life stressors that can amplify feelings of worry and anxiety. While early parental bonding seem to predict anxiety disorders later in life, the applicability to emerging adult students and its applicability to predict sub-clinical and transdiagnostic anxiety feat…
A scientometric review of the association between childhood trauma and sleep
Culture, sex and social context influence brain-to-brain synchrony
Main findings indicate lowered brain-to-brain synchrony during role-playing activities that is moderated by the dyad's sex make-up and culture, implying differential processing of social interactions that is also influenced by individuals' background factors. Findings align with current literature that role-playing is a cognitively demanding activity requiring greater levels of self-regulation and suppression of self-related cognition as opposed …
From the Cradle to the Web
“Sharenting” is an internet trend in which parents report detailed information or repeatedly post pictures, videos, and other content about their children on social media. Due to the duality of sharenting, which takes place online but has offline consequences, it is essential to understand the implications of sharenting for real-world parenting and child development. The present work analyzes references in the existing literature and links among …
To wine or not to wine? A scientometric approach to 65+ years of wine preference and selection studies
Purpose Among the growing interest towards market segmentation and targeted marketing, the current study adopted a scientometric approach to examine the literature on wine selection and preferences. The current review specifically attempts to shed light on the research that explores the determinants of wine preferences at multiple levels of analysis. Design/methodology/approach CiteSpace was used to compute a Document Co-Citation Analysis (DCA) o…
An Exploratory Analysis of the Effect of Demographic Features on Sleeping Patterns and Academic Stress in Adolescents in China
Adolescents typically engage in unhealthy lifestyle habits including short sleep and high academic stress. These in turn may have serious impacts on their development. The present study examines the effect of demographic characteristics on sleep patterns and academic stress in adolescents. A sample of 244 (119 females) junior high school adolescents aged between 11 and 16 were recruited from China. The Student Life Stress Questionnaire and the Sc…
Being a Parent during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on people worldwide, yet the psychological impact of collective traumas may differ at the individual and societal level. Parents may be exposed to greater pandemic-related stressors, yet also are more likely than non-parents to have social interactions during social distancing mandates. Furthermore, varying degrees of pandemic severity in countries may alter the adverse outcomes of pandemic stress…
Children’s Online Collaborative Storytelling during 2020 Covid-19 Home Confinement
Digital collaborative storytelling can be supported by an online learning-management system like Moodle, encouraging prosocial behaviors and shared representations. This study investigated children’s storytelling and collaborative behaviors during an online storytelling activity throughout the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 home confinement in Spain. From 1st to 5th grade of primary school, one-hundred-sixteen students conducted weekly activities of online stor…
Modulation of Instagram Number of Followings by Avoidance in Close Relationships in Young Adults under a Gene x Environment Perspective
Social networking sites have determined radical changes in human life, demanding investigations on online socialization mechanisms. The knowledge acquired on in-person sociability could guide researchers to consider both environmental and genetic features as candidates of online socialization. Here, we explored the impact of the quality of adult attachment and the genetic properties of the Serotonin Transporter Gene ( 5-HTTLPR ) on Instagram soci…
