<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">This study examined whether there were statistical associations between life sentence types, race, and profiles of persistent criminality among sentenced juvenile homicide offenders (JHOs). The <em class="a-plus-plus">Miller v. Alabama</em> (2012) decision required judges to differentiate irreparably corrupt JHOs from non-irreparably corrupt offenders in its sentencing considerations. The study analyzed a sample of 101 JHOs drawn from a population of 109 JHOs serving life sentences in Arizona prior to the <em class="a-plus-plus">Montgomery v. Louisiana</em> (2016) decision. The study employed a two-step clustering method to identify serious infraction profiles among Arizona juvenile lifers, focusing on major infractions committed in prison. The findings did not indicate any statistical associations between serious infraction profiles and the differentially sentenced groups of JHOs. Additionally, 61% of natural lifers belonged to the low and medium criminal persistence groups rather than the high criminal persistence group, deviating from the pronouncements in the <em class="a-plus-plus">Miller v. Alabama</em> decision of reserving natural life sentences for irreparably corrupt JHOs. Furthermore, race demonstrated no significant association with criminal infraction profiles. The implications of these findings for future research, sentencing policies, and release decision-making processes have been discussed.</p>

<p>Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. <br />This article examines frontline educators as street-level bureaucrats and their pedagogical philosophies, approaches, and choices—what we are calling “street-level pedagogy” to prepare current and future public servants and nonprofit leaders. This provides crucial insight into how (or if) social equity is incorporated into syllabi through a critical reflection on what materials and perspectives are assigned and how they are communicated. Our findings show that gender diversity is more visible, largely through authors of assigned readings, but that visibility is dependent upon presentation method (i.e., citation style). The gender of the professor is linked to gendered patterns in selection of authors of assigned readings. Other types of diversity and intersectionality were visible in course topics and readings, which are discussed along with implications for communicating social equity in graduate nonprofit curricula.</p>

<p><imgsrc="" alt="End-of-life care management for older adults at home by multidisciplinary professionals in Japan"></p>
<p>This study identified care management performed by multidisciplinary professionals. The quality of life of older adults may be enhanced if the multidisciplinary professionals involved in end-of-life care for older adults share care management functions in addition to performing their respective roles.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Population aging is a global phenomenon, and there is an urgent need to establish community-based integrated care systems for a sustainable society. In particular, the needs of home-dwelling older adults are multifaceted, encompassing areas such as medical care, nursing care, and welfare. Therefore, it is necessary to implement comprehensive care management that utilizes social resources suitable for diverse needs. This study aims to comprehensively describe care management practices by various professionals for home-dwelling older adults in the end-of-life (EOL) period.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>This study adopted a qualitative analysis method using conventional content analysis. We conducted semi-structured interviews of 20 multidisciplinary professionals from February to March 2020.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Multidisciplinary professionals ensured continuity of care by implementing care management as necessary when providing care to older adults who desired to stay at home until the end. Seven categories of EOL care management practices for home-dwelling older adults by multidisciplinary professionals were generated: (1) support to enable discharge to home; (2) decision-making support that captures the intention of the older adult without missing opportunities; (3) building a team system to realize the desired life and EOL; (4) family support for the entirety of the EOL period, (5) symptom control aimed at the realization of wishes; (6) emotional support for acceptance of the EOL period; (7) spiritual support.</p>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
<p>Multidisciplinary professionals, including care managers, collaborating in a mutually complementary manner by sharing a comprehensive understanding of care management might prevent knowledge fragmentation and ensure that older adults receive home-based EOL care.</p>

<p>Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, Ahead of Print. <br />A growing body of evidence has attested to the higher impact of COVID-19 on individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) than on members of the general population during the pandemic, mainly showing their higher vulnerability. However, we believe it is important to better understand how their situation interacts with the specific circumstances of the pandemic. In this article we discuss recent findings regarding individuals with IDs through the lens of two theories – the social disability model and the ecological model of trauma and recovery – and propose an integration, namely a social model of disability in crisis and trauma situations. Such a model allows for a wider perspective on understanding the way people living with disabilities (PLWDs) cope in these situations, integrating the individual aspects of coping with the social and environmental ones.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Addictive behaviors often begin in adolescence and can involve substances or rewarding behaviors. One prominent substance-based addictive behavior among adolescents is vaping, while internet gaming represents a prominent behavioral addiction among this age group. Despite the fact that vaping and gaming initiation often occurs when youth are in school, research is limited with regard to school counselors’ experience addressing these two potentially addictive behaviors. Thus, we analyzed data from 221 high school counselors and found 81% reported working with a student with a gaming issue in the previous year. Similarly, 81.4% reported working with a student with a vaping-related issue in the previous year. The majority of participants (70.1%) reported that gaming issues have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although prevalent, roughly half of school counselors (50.7%) categorized internet gaming as a mild concern compared to other issues. Alternatively, 42.5% of participants said vaping was a moderate concern, on par with other issues, and 14.5% said vaping was a major concern, more than other issues. Among the school counselors in our study, 24.4% reported feeling moderately or very competent addressing student issues related to gaming and 33.5% reported feeling moderately or very competent addressing student issues related to vaping. Implications for school counselors are discussed.</p>

<p>American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. <br />Background: Despite documented benefits of Advance Care Planning (ACP), it is still under-utilized in the U.S. Our study aimed to examine whether experiencing a loved one’s death is associated with one’s own ACP behavior among adults in the U.S. and the potential moderating effect of age. Method: Using a nationwide cross-sectional survey design with probability sampling weights, our study included 1006 adults in the U.S. who participated in and completed the Survey on Aging and End-of-Life Medical Care. Three binary logistic regression models were established to investigate the relationship between death exposure and different aspects of ACP (i.e., informal conversations with family members and doctors and formal advance directives completion). The moderation analysis was subsequently conducted to examine moderating effects of age. Results: The exposure to a loved one’s death was significantly associated with higher odds of having conversations with family about end-of-life medical care preferences among the 3 indicators of ACP (OR = 2.03, P < .001). Age significantly moderated the association between death exposure and ACP conversations with doctors (OR = .98, P = .017). The facilitation effect of death exposure on informal ACP engagement in discussing end-of-life medical wishes with doctors is stronger among younger adults than older adults. Conclusions: Exploring an individual’s previous experience with a loved one’s death might be an effective way to broach the concept of ACP among adults of all ages. This strategy may be particularly useful in facilitating discussions of end-of-life medical wishes with doctors among younger adults than older adults.</p>

<p>How does the transition to retirement affect female subjective wellbeing? The major theoretical perspectives that have been applied as frameworks to study the heterogeneous adjustment to retirement include role theory and continuity theory. They have often been integrated with a lifecourse approach, which allows us to study retirement as a transition set inside a lifelong process. In this paper, I assess how working life courses are related to changes in subjective wellbeing before and after retirement, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and concentrating on women. Firstly, I conduct sequence analysis and cluster analysis to identify groups of typical working lifecourses from ages 20 to 50. Secondly, regression models estimate how retirement transition is associated with changes in life satisfaction, according to the different working trajectories. The results show that some of the trajectories, constituted of discontinuity or part-time periods, exhibit a continuous increase in life satisfaction, passing from employment (or unemployment) to retirement. For other trajectories, such as the full-time one, retirement seems not to have implications for subjective wellbeing.</p>

<p>The humanitarian, political, and socio-economic crisis in Venezuela has generated an unprecedented migration to other South American countries. In the last six years, Peru has become the second receptor of Venezuelan people after Colombia and the first regarding asylum seekers. In this article, we follow recent contributions regarding the concept of care circulation to ask: how the case of older Venezuelans on the move illustrates the multidimensionality of care circulation? How these care arrangements can be understood from an age and gender perspective? Through three life stories, we discuss how older Venezuelans on the move practice care for the benefit of the whole family based on family arrangements and negotiations and how, as a result, care circulates in multiple directions and can generate conflicts and power imbalance for the older ones.</span></p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Emotional dysregulation (ED) is a transdiagnostic phenomenon that has received increased attention, because of its potential ability to explain the development and maintenance of various psychiatric disorders. The identification of ED may serve as a potential target for both preventive and treatment interventions, however, the frequency of transdiagnostic ED among children and adolescents has not previously been evaluated. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency and types of ED in accepted and rejected referrals to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Center (CAMHC), Mental Health Services, Copenhagen, Denmark, regardless of psychiatric status and across diagnoses. We aimed to evaluate how often ED would be a leading cause in seeking professional help, and whether children with ED not directly reflecting symptoms of known psychopathology would have higher rejection rates than children with more distinct symptoms of psychopathology. Finally, we assessed associations between sex and age with various types of ED.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>We examined ED in a retrospective chart review of referrals of children and adolescents aged 3–17 years to the CAMHC between August 1st, 2020, and August 1st, 2021. We ranked problems described in the referral as primary, secondary, and tertiary depending on severity. Further, we examined group differences in the frequency of ED in accepted versus rejected referrals, as well as group differences in types of ED in age and sex distributions, and diagnoses occurring with specific types of ED.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>ED was present in 62.3% of the 999 referrals and was assessed as the primary issue in twice as many rejected referrals (11.4%) compared to accepted referrals (5.7%). Boys were significantly more often described with externalizing and internalizing behavior (55.5% vs. 31.6%; 35.1% vs. 26.5%) as well as incongruent affect (10.0% vs. 4.7%), whereas girls were more often described with depressed mood (47.5% vs. 38.0%) and self-harm (23.8% vs. 9.4%). The frequency of different types of ED varied with age.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The present study is the first to evaluate the frequency of ED in children and adolescents referred to mental health services. The study offers insights into the high frequency of ED and the associations between ED and subsequent diagnoses, which may prove to be a method of early identification of risk of psychopathology. Our findings suggest that ED may rightly be considered a transdiagnostic factor, independent of specific psychiatric disorders, and that an ED-centered as opposed to diagnosis-specific approach to assessment, prevention, and treatment could target transversal symptoms of psychopathology in a more holistic manner.</p>

And it would never have gotten completely out of control, if people didn’t use ad-block.
"I wouldn't get so carried away beating you if you didn't make me so much angrier by trying to run when I smack you."
We should never have tried to fund the web with ads in the first place.
I agree. But here we are. And until it's illegal to do so (and, honestly, afterwards too), when a website I'm viewing politely asks me to download toxic ad content filled with psychological manipulation and malware, my computer will politely whisper "no." I might revisit this policy in the future if the entire advertising industry takes a huge step back to tone down their abusive shit, but in the meanwhile, I have no problem blocking malignant content from my presence. No means no.
A business plan that requires psychological abuse and exploitation of your customers is not an ethical, sustainable, or valid plan and the people who push it are not worthy of my consideration.
Elon musk and Donald Trump and others are not stupid. They may act stupid. Their brains may be psychologically damaged by the distance their money allows them to put between themselves, others, and the consequences of their actions.
But they are not stupid. If they were stupid, their stupidity would sometimes bite them in the ass in a way that actually has consequences for them. Since that does not happen, we can be relatively certain that their actions are going according to plan...their plan? Maybe. Or their accountant's plan. But until a mistake costs them actual money that they cannot recoup through tax shenanigans, I find it hard to accept that they aren't just evil.
Would more men be open to going to therapy if they had resources tailored specifically for them, and if the office had Emotional Support Animals for appointment use?
That was my intention with plugging The Will to Change, it’s definitely not a “here’s why men suck” piece, it’s a feminist analysis on all of the unique harms that men are subjected to under patriarchy, how those manifest, and how to heal from them. Any analysis of the suffering of men under patriarchy that lands on individual responsibility as a cause for psychological suffering is a bad one.
No, I realized they are only words and when you make fun of the thing they are making fun of you for, that thing stops being fun. It’s called psychology
DONALD TRUMP AND THE RATIONALIZATION OF TRANSGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR: The role of group prototypicality and identity advancement by Ben Davies, Carola Leicht and Dominic Abrams (2022).
"Overall, the present study identifies the rationalization of transgressive leader behaviors as a novel pathway to their continued support. We also identify identity advancement as a key driver of this effect. These results provide an important extension of deviance credit and indicate that the role of group prototypicality in the context of group serving leaders may need to be reconsidered. These results also have worrying implications for the nature of transgressive leadership and demonstrate how unimpeachable such leadership may become once it is established."
