Immersive virtual reality for reducing public speaking anxiety in students accessing a university psychological counseling service
Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) is a form of social anxiety spread among university students, negatively affecting both academic performance and overall psychological well-being. Virtual Reality (VR)–based interventions combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) represent a promising approach for treating PSA, as they enable gradual and controlled exposure to feared social situations by simulating realistic audiences and environments. The pri…
Associations Between Social Functioning and Indicators of University Student Engagement
Less socially adaptive behaviors have often been underestimated in university students, with limited research addressing their impact on academic functioning. This study aimed to identify distinct profiles of social functioning difficulties in university students and to examine their associations with academic engagement, learning difficulties, and psychological distress. A cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted with 540 undergraduate un…
A Preliminary Longitudinal Study on Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) Components in the First Year of Life
Infant-directed speech (IDS) is an essential factor of mother-infant interaction and facilitates early language processing and word learning during dyadic interactions. This study aimed to longitudinally investigate emotional and prosodic components of IDS in the first year of life by analyzing children's responses to the different prosodic trends that mothers use during the observation of mother-child interactions. Seventeen mothers and infants …
Impact of sleep disorders on behavioral issues in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder
Based on these findings, the study recommends that screening for sleep problems followed by early intervention should constitute a routine part of clinical practice for children with ASD
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Mental Health among Students Seeking Psychological Counseling Services
Recent years have seen a marked rise in the number of students accessing University Psychological Counseling (UPC) services, and their concerns have been increasingly severe. This study aimed to examine the impact of cumulative adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on mental health in students who had approached counseling services (N = 121) and students who had no experience with counseling services (N = 255). Participants completed an anonymous …
Psychological Effects and Quality of Life in Parents and Children with Jia-Associated Uveitis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease common in children and young adults. Uveitis is the most frequent serious extra-articular JIA manifestation and can lead to severe ocular complications, vision loss, and permanent blindness. This study aims to evaluate the psychological condition and the quality of life of children affected by JIA associated with uveitis (JIA-U) and the repercussion of this condition on parents…
Exploring the Contribution of Proximal Family Risk Factors on SLC6A4 DNA Methylation in Children with a History of Maltreatment
The cumulative effects of proximal family risk factors have been associated with a high number of adverse outcomes in childhood maltreatment, and DNA methylation of the serotonin transporter gene ( SLC6A4 ) has been associated with child maltreatment. However, the relationships between proximal family risk factors and SLC6A4 methylation remains unexplored. We examined the association among cumulative family risk factors, maltreatment experiences …
Sex-Gender Comparisons in Comorbidities of Children and Adolescents With High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder
Over the last few years, new studies focused their attention on the gender-related features in high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFA), often leading to controversial results. Another interesting aspect of these subtype of patients is linked to the complexity of clinical presentation, where besides core symptoms, other co-occurrence disorders may complicate the diagnostic evaluation. Therefore, we retrospectively studied 159 HFA patients,…
A Transactional Analysis Model for Psychological Work with Pediatric Patients with Hearing and/or Speech Problems
Since children with hearing and/or speech problems and their families often experience psychological difficulties, it is important to provide counseling that supports psychological and social adjustment so that such problems do not become chronic. This article describes the multisystem method (MM) approach for working with these patients and their families. Based on transactional analysis (Berne, 1947/1968, 1961/1971), this method is a form of gr…
