A group motivational intervention to support motivation for physical activity among adults in residential treatment for substance use disorders: A series of N-of-1 studies
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) may offer health benefits for individuals undergoing substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, yet relapse, comorbidities, and motivational challenges often hinder PA maintenance. This study assessed the impact of a motivational intervention aimed at increasing PA motivation and maintenance in a residential SUD treatment setting. METHODS AND MEASURES: This non-concurrent multiple-baseline N-of-1 study consisted of …
Student mental wellbeing as an interconnected system: Positioning academic, social, and coping processes
Student mental wellbeing has become a growing concern in higher education, with increasing numbers of students reporting stress and psychological difficulties. Although academic factors, social environmental factors, and coping styles are all considered relevant, less is known about how these factors are interconnected in relation to mental wellbeing within a broader system. This study applied a network approach to examine how these factors were …
Evaluating the effectiveness of an integral neighbourhood-oriented approach for healthy ageing: Findings from a cluster-randomised controlled trial in socioeconomically diverse communities
This article reports an effectiveness study of Neighbourhood Active & Connected, a novel neighbourhood-oriented approach to promote healthy ageing among older adults from lower socioeconomic positions (LSPs). This group faces significant health disparities and limited access to preventive care. The intervention aims to enhance physical activity, reduce loneliness, and improve social cohesion and health-related quality of life, while fostering dig…
A healthy lifestyle is a journey’: Exploring health perceptions and self-defined facilitators to health through photo-elicitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore health perceptions and self-defined facilitators to health in general population. An additional aim of the study was to assess if these perceptions were connected with the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. DESIGN: = 50) were asked to answer the question: 'What does it mean to be healthy?'. Data were collected online in Poland. We generated and interpreted the main themes associated with common perce…
Dynamic Processes in Emotion Regulation Differ Between Cancer Survivor Couples with Relationship Difficulties and Healthy Couples: Emotional Needs and Partner Responsiveness
Although emotion regulation within romantic couples is considered an important causal factor in keeping the relationship healthy, this topic has not been extensively researched. In this study we investigated the perception and expression of attachment-related emotional needs and the responsiveness of partners to each other’s emotional needs as central elements of emotion regulation in romantic couples. An intensive longitudinal research design wi…
Drug behaviors, sexually transmitted infection prevention, and sexual consent during chemsex: Insights generated in the Budd app after each chemsex session
Chemsex refers to the intentional use of drugs before or during sex in a specific context, typically involving prolonged sex sessions with multiple partners. Engaging in chemsex is associated with a wide range of health risks and related risk behaviors. We developed a mobile phone application (‘Budd-app’) to support and inform chemsex participants, reduce potential negative impacts associated with chemsex (e.g., physical, psychological and social…
Job characteristics, job attitudes and employee withdrawal behaviour: A latent change score approach
Employee withdrawal is a critical issue for organisations and has been the topic of extensive research. Although much turnover research used between‐person designs, this study focused on the impact of within‐person changes in job characteristics on job attitudes and withdrawal behaviour, using the challenge‐hindrance stressor as our main theoretical framework. The focus was on the job characteristics workload (a challenge stressor), emotional dem…
Trajectories of loneliness across adolescence: An empirical comparison of longitudinal clustering methods using R
INTRODUCTION: In this study, we compare three different longitudinal clustering methods. As a case study, the comparison of the methods is conducted for the development of loneliness from middle childhood to young adulthood. The aim is to explore how two nonparametric longitudinal cluster methods compare with a model-based latent class mixture model approach. METHODS: The trajectories of loneliness of 130 young people between 9 and 21 years of ag…
The Relation of Mood and Sexual Desire: An Experience Sampling Perspective on the Dual Control Model
We investigated the effect of fluctuations in negative and positive affect on momentary sexual motivation in a sample of women and men in a steady relationship ( n = 133). Sexual motivation was regarded as the aggregate of sexual desire, subjective sexual arousal and openness to sexual contact. Experience sampling methodology was used to collect up to 70 measurements per participant over a period of seven consecutive days of sexual motivation, an…
Motivational factors for initiating and maintaining physical activity among adults aged over fifty targeted by a tailored intervention
Objective: To provide insight into the motivational working mechanisms (i.e. mediators) of an effective physical activity (PA) intervention for adults aged over fifty.Design: The mediation model (N = 822) was investigated in an RCT for the total intervention population, participants who were not norm-active at baseline (targeting PA initiation) and norm-active participants (targeting PA maintenance) separately.Main Outcome Measures: Potential med…
Three Diagnoses for Problematic Hypersexuality; Which Criteria Predict Help-Seeking Behavior
This study aimed to assess the best combination of indicators of problematic hypersexuality (PH), in a survey ( n = 58,158) targeting individuals wondering if they were sex addicted. The survey allowed for testing of criteria from three theoretical models used to conceptualize PH. Factor analyses for women and men yielded an interpretable grouping of indicators consisting of four factors. In subsequent logistic regressions, these factors were use…
The Effect of Active Plus, a Computer-Tailored Physical Activity Intervention, on the Physical Activity of Older Adults with Chronic Illness(es)—A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
eHealth interventions aimed at improving physical activity (PA) can reach large populations with few resources and demands on the population as opposed to centre-based interventions. Active Plus is a proven effective computer-tailored PA intervention for the older adult population focusing on PA in daily life. This manuscript describes the effects of the Active Plus intervention ( N = 260) on PA of older adults with chronic illnesses (OACI), comp…
Is the news making us unhappy? The influence of daily news exposure on emotional states
There is evidence that exposure to negative news is making people feel bad, but not much is known about why this only affects some people or whether this also applies to everyday news exposure. This study examined the direct and indirect effects of daily news exposure on people's affective states. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), 63 respondents (24 men and 39 women) reported their news exposure and affective states five times a day fo…
The associations of intimacy and sexuality in daily life: Temporal dynamics and gender effects within romantic relationships
The experience of emotional intimacy is assumed to play a particularly large role in maintaining sexual desire and partnered sexual activity in romantic relationships of longer duration. It is unclear whether the effect of intimacy on sexual contact between partners is direct or indirect, via its impact on sexual desire. Baumeister and Bratslavsky suggested that a certain increment in emotional intimacy causes a greater increment in sexual desire…
The development and validation of a scale measuring teacher autonomous behaviour
In the current study a multi‐dimensional scale that measures teacher autonomous behaviour is presented. The scale is applicable across the following educational sectors: primary education, secondary education and vocational education. Based on an elaborate literature study, four theoretically relevant dimensions of teacher autonomous behaviour were derived. Psychometric characteristics of the instrument (note that the terms ‘scale’ and ‘instrumen…
Decline in physical activity during adolescence is not associated with changes in mental health
The decline in physical activity over a 1-year period during adolescence is not associated with a change in mental health. Further studies in adolescents aiming to investigate whether a change in physical activity is associated with a change in mental health should control for baseline levels of mental health and academic year differences

The Effect of Perceived Deterrence on Compliance with Authorities: The Moderating Influence of Procedural Justice
In order to stimulate compliance, authorities often use deterrence instruments. However, scientific literature from the fields of criminology, sociology and psychology has not been consistent in when or why deterrence is effective in shaping compliance. In the present study we investigated the role of procedural justice in relation to deterrence. Procedural justice has strong effects on people’s attitudes and behaviour regarding the social collec…
When do severe sanctions enhance compliance? The role of procedural fairness
Trust in authorities as a boundary condition to procedural fairness effects on tax compliance
Sanctions and moral judgments: The moderating effect of sanction severity and trust in authorities
In order to induce people to follow rules, sanctions are often introduced. In this paper we argue for the importance of studying the positive influence of sanctioning systems on people's moral convictions regarding the rule advocated by the sanction and of studying factors that moderate this influence. In three experiments we tested the influence of sanction severity and showed that severe sanctions evoke stronger moral judgments with regard to r…
