<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Diagnoses of infectious diseases are being transformed as mass self-testing using rapid antigen tests (RATs) is increasingly integrated into public health. Widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, RATs are claimed to have many advantages over ‘gold-standard’ polymerase chain reaction tests, especially their ease of use and production of quick results. Yet, while laboratory studies indicate the value of RATs in detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen, uncertainty surrounds their deployment and ultimate effectiveness in stemming infections. This article applies the analytic lens of biological citizenship (or bio-citizenship) to explore Australia’s experience of implementing a RAT-based mass self-testing strategy to manage COVID-19. Drawing on Annemarie Mol’s (1999, <i>The Sociological Review</i>, 47(1), 74–89) concept of ontological politics and analysing government statements, scientific articles and news media reporting published during a critical juncture of the strategy’s implementation, we explore the kind of bio-citizenship implied by this strategy. Our analysis suggests the emergence of what we call liminal bio-citizenship, whereby citizens are made responsible for self-managing infection risk without the diagnostic certitude this demands. We discuss how the different realities of mass self-testing interact to reinforce this liminal citizenship and consider the implications for the sociology of diagnosis.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>The prognosis for individuals with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has improved in recent decades. This expanding cohort has unique psychological and psychosocial needs, yet targeted supportive care interventions are underdeveloped. This systematic review seeks to summarise the available evidence on the effectiveness of supportive care interventions in improving quality of life and symptom experience of individuals living with MBC so that services can be developed to address the unmet needs of this cohort in future.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, ERIC, Medline and SocINDEX were searched for publications investigating the effect of supportive care interventions specifically targeted at addressing the quality of life or symptom experience of individuals living with MBC. Three reviewers independently screened and selected studies. Quality appraisal and assessed risk of bias were carried out.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>The search yielded 1972 citations. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions included psychological (<i>n</i> = 3), end of life discussion and preparation (<i>n</i> = 2), physical activity (<i>n</i> = 4), lifestyle (<i>n</i> = 2), and medication self-management support (<i>n</i> = 2). Three studies reported significant improvement in quality of life, two of which reported improved symptom experience in at least one symptom. Three further physical activity interventions showed improvement in at least one of the symptoms investigated.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Studies reporting a statistically significant effect on quality of life and improved symptom experience were extremely heterogenous. We can tentatively suggest that multimodal and frequently administered interventions are effective, with physical activity interventions positively impacting on symptom experience, however further research is required.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Emotion-rule dissonance is regarded as one of the most stressful aspects in the context of emotion work. However, there are few longitudinal studies examining its effects on psychological strain and, more importantly, physiological health. This study investigated synchronous and lagged effects of emotion-rule dissonance on emotional exhaustion, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body fat, while explicitly considering the reverse direction as well. Two-wave data from 5,073 employees at Time 1 and 525 at Time 2 three years later showed that emotion-rule dissonance and emotional exhaustion have reciprocal synchronous effects on each other. Concerning systolic and diastolic blood pressure, both lagged and synchronous effects were found, but the synchronous effects were twice as large as the lagged effects. No reverse effects of blood pressure on emotion-rule dissonance were observed. For body fat, neither synchronous, nor lagged, nor reverse (lagged/synchronous) effects were found. The results provide strong evidence for the health-impairing consequences of high emotion-rule dissonance, particularly with respect to emotional exhaustion and the risk of hypertension.</p>

<p>Objectives: To date, most research on plea bargaining has used some form of the shadow of the trial (SOT) model to frame defendant decisions. In this research, we proposed and tested a new conceptual model of plea decision-making, based on fuzzy-trace theory (FTT), for the context in which a nondetained, guilty defendant chooses between a guilty plea or trial, where both the plea and potential trial sentence entail incarceration. Hypotheses: We predicted that plea decisions would be affected by (a) meaningful, categorical changes in conviction probability (e.g., low to moderate, moderate to high), as opposed to more granular changes within categories and (b) the presence and magnitude of categorical distinctions between plea offer and potential trial sentence rather than fine-grained differences between individual offers. Method: We conducted three vignette-based experiments (Study 1: N = 1,701, Study 2: N = 1,098, Study 3: N = 1,232), using Mechanical Turk participants. In Studies 1 and 2, we manipulated potential trial sentence and conviction probability, asking participants to indicate either the maximum plea sentence they would accept (Study 1) or whether they would plead guilty to a specific offer (Study 2). In Study 3, we manipulated plea discount and potential trial sentence and measured plea acceptance. Results: Maximum acceptable plea sentences were similar within and different between “groupings” of meaningfully similar conviction probabilities (Study 1). Plea rates were similar within and different between groupings that comprised plea offers of similarly meaningful distance from the potential trial sentence (Study 3). The results also provide insight into the plea rates that might be expected under different combinations of the independent variables (Studies 2 and 3). Conclusions: These results support a new conceptual model of plea decision-making that may be better suited to explaining case-level differences in plea outcomes than the SOT model and suggest that future research extending this model to a wider range of contexts would be fruitful.

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Evidence suggests that political differences have increased markedly in the United States in recent decades. Differences may also emerge in the way that partisans express themselves through language, and it is possible that language differences vary in times of crisis and war. In the current work we examined over a decade’s worth of transcripts from a liberal (MSNBC) and conservative (Fox) news network. More specifically, we examined evidence for two competing perspectives on language differences during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. One perspective, the depolarization perspective, suggests that we should see decreased differences, or parity in language styles between the two networks leading up to and during the invasion. Another perspective, the polarization perspective, suggests we should see increased differences in language styles between networks leading up to and during the early stages of the invasion. We examined an index of personalizing and formalizing language as well as 77 Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) dictionaries plus noun frequency using smoothed curves and linear discriminant function analyses (LDA) to examine the pattern of results in our data. Our results provide more support for the depolarization perspective, showing that both Fox News and MSNBC became more similar than different leading up to and during the invasion. Implications are discussed.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>In this paper, the authors introduce the Triadic Model of Pediatric Care, an innovative conceptual framework for pediatric practice with transgender and gender diverse children. The Triadic Model of Pediatric Care consists of three experts—pediatricians, primary caregiver(s), and children—who each possess unique insights, knowledge, and decision-making power. This model guides pediatricians to provide gender-affirming care that acknowledges children as experts of their own experience and worthy of bodily autonomy, while also working to ensure primary caregiver(s) have the information and support necessary to provide a safe and nurturing developmental environment for their child. The authors provide a recommendation for how the Triadic Model of Pediatric Care might be applied in a pediatric healthcare setting and conclude with a summary of the model’s implications, limitations, and future directions.</p>

TITLE:
Gender and age influence the association between gait speed and mild cognitive impairment in community‐dwelling Japanese older adults: from the Japan Prospective Studies Collaboration for Ageing and Dementia (JPSC‐AD)
.
URL: https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/psyg-13013/
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Studies have shown that decreased gait speed is associated with impaired cognitive function. However, whether this association is equivalent across ages or genders in the older population remains unclear. Thus, we examined the association between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and gait speed emphasising the influence of age and gender.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Overall, 8233 Japanese participants aged ≥65 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study between 2016 and 2018. After stratification by gender and age group, the participants’ gait speeds were divided into quintiles, and the difference in MCI prevalence at each gait speed quintile was calculated. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the odds of MCI for each quintile and to assess the influence of age and gender.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Males had a consistently higher prevalence of MCI than females. The odds of MCI were increased as gait speed decreased. Logistic regression analyses revealed that in the multivariable-adjusted model 2, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval; CI) for MCI were 2.02 (1.47–2.76) for females and 1.75 (1.29–2.38) for males in the slowest gait speed quintiles compared to the fastest quintile. In the stratified analyses, only males showed an age-dependent increase in the associations between gait speed and MCI, while females exhibited comparable associations across age groups.</p>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
<p>Reduced gait speed was associated with increased odds of MCI, and this association may vary according to gender and age. Therefore, gait speed could serve as a valuable screening tool for MCI, with gender- and age-dependent clinical implications.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Sleep disorders are prevalent after stroke, resulting in high recurrence rates and mortality. But the biomarkers of sleep disorders in stroke patients remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore the relationship between total bilirubin-to-uric acid ratio (TUR) and sleep quality after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Three hundred twenty-six AIS patients were recruited and followed up 1 month after stroke in our study. Serum total bilirubin and uric acid levels were obtained within 24 h after admission. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality 1 month after stroke. We conducted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and screened the optimal biomarker to differentiate sleep disorders after stroke. Then the TUR was stratified according to the best cut-off value (0.036) of the ROC and further analysed by binary logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the interaction was used to explore the difference in its effect on post-stroke sleep quality in different subgroups.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Three hundred thirty-one patients (40.2%) were considered as having poor sleep quality during the one-month follow-up. Compared to patients with good sleep, patients with poor sleep were more likely to have higher TUR (IQR), 0.05 (0.03–0.06) versus 0.03 (0.02–0.04), <i>P</i> < 0.001. After adjusting for confounding factors, binary regression analysis demonstrated that a high TUR (≥0.036) was independently related to post-stroke poor sleep quality (OR = 3.75, 95% CI = 2.02–6.96, <i>P</i> < 0.001).</p>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
<p>High TUR is associated with an increased risk of poor sleep quality in AIS patients, especially in females, diabetics, and patients with hyperlipidaemia.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>This study examines the association of gender, parenthood, and marriage with reports of perceived pandemic precarity among Mexican and Central American immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic (Fall 2020) to understand predictors of vulnerability in periods of crisis.</p>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Latinos/as, immigrants, parents, and women have faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Family structure, along with social expectations for gender (i.e., self-sacrificing femininity for women and hegemonic masculinity for men), parenthood, and marriage may explain perceptions of pandemic precarity—defined as the material deprivation and economic anxiety resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<h2>Method</h2>
<p>This study used data from the Hispanic COVID-19 Rapid Response Study (<i>n</i> = 400), a follow-up of the VidaSana Study of Mexican and Central American immigrants, to examine how family structure is associated with pandemic precarity (i.e., food, housing, and economic insecurity). Using linear regression models, average marginal effects (AMEs), and tests for group differences, we investigate the independent and interactive effects of gender, parenthood, and marriage on pandemic precarity.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Men and parents reported the highest pandemic precarity. Fathers reported higher pandemic precarity than mothers. For men, marriage is associated with greater precarity, and for women, marriage is associated with less precarity, yet marriage increased precarity for those without children.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>We discuss the importance and implications of examining gender along with family structure to understand how immigrant families were faring in response to the pandemic.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>This brief report was designed to understand resilience in families 2 years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has had well-documented adverse effects on individuals and families. However, some studies have found null, or even positive, effects within aspects of family life. These mixed results suggest the potential for resilience in families, yet few studies have empirically investigated this possibility.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>A sample of 593 parents (53% female) that were married or in a romantic relationship participated in a nationwide survey in September 2022; individuals were recruited via the research survey firm Prolific. Latent profile analysis was used to identify typologies of family adjustment following the pandemic and predictors of group membership.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>A three-group solution was identified, with groups labeled as <i>stable family functioning</i> (<i>n</i> = 286; 48% of the sample), <i>improved family functioning</i> (<i>n</i> = 250; 42%), and <i>worsened family functioning</i> (<i>n</i> = 57; 10%). Predictors of group membership indicated significant differences across all three groups in respondents’ levels of cohesive family mindset. Select group differences were also observed in levels of couple communication, partner gratitude, perceived stress, and loneliness.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Findings provide empirical support for the occurrence of resilience in families in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Predictors of group membership provide insights into sources of family resilience and areas to target in family-based interventions designed to support families under stress.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Although prior research shows that either religiosity or spirituality facilitates well-being, the interaction of both constructs in predicting positive youth development (PYD) in collectivistic contexts remains unknown. This study examined the moderating role of spirituality on the link between religiosity and PYD, including each of its Cs (i.e., competence, confidence, connection, character, and caring) among 1116 Filipino adolescents. Results demonstrate that both religiosity and spirituality are positively correlated with PYD and its dimensions. Furthermore, there is a significant interaction between religiosity and spirituality for the overall PYD construct and the socio-emotional Cs (i.e., connection, character, and caring). This study highlights the importance of young people’s sense of connection with something beyond than themselves (i.e., spirituality) in promoting adolescent thriving.</p>
