The relationship between metacognitive beliefs and competitive anxiety among elite and amateur soccer players
Background Competitive anxiety is a commonly observed psychological phenomenon within the field of competitive sports such as soccer. Metacognitive beliefs are associated with anxiety in clinical and non-clinical populations, however, few studies have explored the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and competitive anxiety. In this study we aimed to explore the association between metacognitive beliefs and competitive anxiety among Norwegi…
Construct Validity of the Perceived Stress Scale 4 in a Norwegian Adult ADHD Community Population
Stress is a potential risk factor for other serious health concerns. Studies show an association between Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and stress due to impairments in emotional regulation and executive functioning that are typical of the disorder. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is among the most widely used measures of perceived stress, and its four‐item version (PSS‐4) lacks validation in Norwegian contexts. This study aims …
Associations between childhood adversity and adult oral health-related quality of life, the Hunt4 Survey
The findings suggest that exposure to ACEs is linked with poorer OHRQoL in adulthood. These results emphasize the long-lasting association of childhood adversity with oral health and highlight the importance of considering ACEs in the prevention and management of oral health issues among vulnerable populations
She Asked for It? Descriptions of Victims' Behaviors Are Associated With Sentencing in Norwegian Rape Trials
Feminist theorists have long argued that rape myths contribute to normalizing sexual assault, through belittling and denying rape victims' claims. This study examines whether descriptions of victims' behaviors are associated with sentencing in rape trials. A total of 2054 Norwegian court decisions from 2013 to 2023 in judicial records were screened. Fifty‐one of these included descriptions of the victims' behavior as operationalized by a subscale…
Metacognitive strategies mediate the association between metacognitive beliefs and perceived quality of life
Quality of life may be understood as a multidimensional evaluation of life circumstances in relation to values, expectations, and perceived well‐being. Quality of life is thus dependent on the subjective perception of the current life situation, not only objective circumstances. According to metacognitive theory, metacognition guides the appraisal of inner experiences (i.e., thoughts and feelings) and influences how one relates to external stress…
Clinically representative therapy for Nordic adult outpatients with common mental health problems
There is a knowledge gap regarding clinically representative therapy given in routine settings, that is treatment as usual (TAU), for patients with common mental health problems (CMHP). This review and meta‐analysis aimed to investigate what characterizes clinically representative therapy in Nordic routine clinics and meta‐analyze the outcome of such treatment. Databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PsychINFO, and SveMed+) were searched for TAU, CMHP, and No…
Health-related quality of life in psychiatric outpatients
HRQoL of psychiatric outpatients is clearly impaired. This study indicated a significant association between employment status, symptom severity, and HRQoL in treatment-seeking outpatients. The findings highlight the importance of assessing HRQoL as part of routine clinical assessment
An empirical investigation of the associations between metacognition, mindfulness experiential avoidance, depression, and anxiety
The results suggest that flexibility in cognitive and emotional regulation skills could be important in explaining symptoms of anxiety and depression
The construct validity of an abridged version of the general self-efficacy scale for adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
The 6-item GSE for ADHD was evaluated to have good content validity. The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. The results indicate that the GSE-6 may help assess self-efficacy in adults with ADHD
Factor structure of the patient health questionnaire-4 in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
This study indicates promising psychometric properties of the PHQ-4 as a measure of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adults with self-reported ADHD who are fluent in Norwegian. The questionnaire's brevity makes it a valuable resource in research and clinical settings. However, more studies are needed to test the instrument in a clinical sample
Sociodemographic factors and use of pain medication are associated with health-related quality of life
The most impacted domains of HRQoL were pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and usual activities. Lower HRQoL was associated with several socio-demographic factors and use of pain medication. These findings might have clinical implications and suggest that mental health professionals should routinely measure HRQoL in addition to symptom severity, to identify areas that should be targeted to improve HRQoL
Resilience Moderates Negative Outcome from Stress during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Resilience refers to an individual's healthy coping abilities when encountering adverse life events. The COVID-19 pandemic represents a situation with a high amount of stress exposure, which in turn may be associated with negative emotional outcome like depressive symptoms. The current study investigated if resilience moderated the effect of stress on symptoms of depression and if anxiety symptoms mediated this association. An adult sample of com…
