Social determinants of mental health in Germany
INTRODUCTION: Social determinants play a critical role in shaping mental health (MH) outcomes. The World Health Organization emphasizes the importance of addressing such factors to reduce MH disparities. This scoping review aims to assess the landscape of research on social determinants of MH in Germany, focusing on frequently studied social determinants, MH outcomes, and underlying theoretical frameworks and explanatory mechanisms, particularly …
The unfairness we feel
Adding to the existing literature, these findings suggest that RD could not only lead to aggression through an affective route but that affective experiences potentially alter perceptions of RD and thus aggressive behavior indirectly
An expert perspective on diversity-oriented standards for assessing sex and gender in clinical research
Our findings emphasize inclusivity by providing multiple gender options and improve data accuracy by allowing individuals to accurately report their gender identity. The results emphasize the importance of distinguishing between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and gender expression in research. This ensures that gender diversity is accurately represented and considered, improving the relevance and inclusivity of clinical trials
Sociodemographic and clinical features of men and women with eating disorders
We discuss how considering sex and gender along with further sociodemographic differences in EDs may help to improve ED diagnosis and treatment
Construal level mindsets modulate gender categorizations in preschool children
Social categorization is a crucial information processing strategy that adults deliberately adjust depending on goals and situational requirements. This study investigated whether flexibility in categorization is similarly present among preschool children. More specifically, we tested whether spontaneous gender categorizations are more pronounced for children with a situationally induced abstract compared to concrete construal level mindset. Sixt…
A Plea for Diversity in Eating Disorders Research
Eating disorders (EDs) are often stereotyped as affecting the SWAG, that is, as affecting mostly skinny, White, affluent girls. Over the last decade, however, significant progress has been made toward increasing diversity in ED research. There is consensus that EDs affect individuals of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, with recent studies exploring social determinants of ED etiology, ED presentation,…
Medical Students’ Perspectives on LGBTQI+ Healthcare and Education in Germany
The healthcare needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) persons are often overlooked, prompting national and international calls to include diversity-related competencies into medical students' training. However, LGBTQI+-focused healthcare education targets remain elusive, as surveys reveal considerable variability across national student populations. To generate empirical data and vocalize recommendations for medica…
Liked for their looks
Recent studies explored whether attitude formation in early childhood can be explained in terms of evaluative conditioning (EC), the change in liking that is due to the pairing of stimuli. This study sought to replicate and extend this line of research by investigating whether and under what conditions preschool children generalise EC effects from conditioned to novel stimuli. Specifically, two experiments were conducted in which 3- to 6-year-old…
How to promote healthy eating in preschool children
How relative deprivation increases aggressive behavior
The present work investigated the influence of experimentally manipulated relative deprivation (RD) on aggressive behavior in a game context. Participants experienced personal RD as the difference between own rewards and the rewards of a fictitious other player. Going beyond previous research, three yet‐unexplored moderators of the RD–aggression link were experimentally tested: In Experiment 1 ( N = 157), we tested the effect of the scarcity of r…
An action control perspective of evaluative conditioning
Attitudes are at the core of many topical issues, and a meeting point for research and discussion. This pervasiveness is not surprising given an attitude’s utility in reducing the complexity of the environment into relatively simple likes or dislikes of stimuli. How attitudes are formed is usually addressed by means of evaluative conditioning (EC). EC has been addressed from a traditional cognitive and a functional account. In this article, we pr…
How Words Transcend and Pictures Immerse
Drawing from construal level theory, we test the hypothesis that words promote thinking of events in terms of their abstract and central features (i.e., high-level construal), whereas pictures promote thinking in terms of more concrete and idiosyncratic features (i.e., low-level construal). In Experiments 1a and 1b, we found that verbal (vs. pictorial) presentation of objects led to broader, more inclusive categorization of those objects. In Expe…
