Summary: The study found that using smartphones for more than 4 hours on weekdays had negative effects on stress perception, sleep satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and suicide-related indicators. When using smartphones for 2-4 hours, the impact on mental health differed based on the purpose of usage. On weekends, using smartphones for 2-4 hours worsened sleep satisfaction but decreased suicide-related indicators.

Summary: This study explores the personal predispositions and dependencies while individuals use digital media and communication devices and analyzes the statistical features of the popular Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire (ITQ) in assessing personality trait-dependent reaction to mediated environments. The study finds that the short form of the ITQ is reliable and adequate for assessing the relationship between self-referred and environment-dependent psychological functions.

Summary: The present study is the first expert consensus on minimum and optimal psychiatric bed numbers. The study used the Delphi method and included experts from both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries. The findings suggest that many low- and middle-income countries have inadequate numbers of psychiatric beds.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effectiveness of social media use interventions on mental well-being in adults, indicating that therapy-based interventions may be more effective than other approaches. Further research with representative samples is needed to provide guidance for policy makers and clinicians.

Summary: This study found a direct unidirectional association between social media use problems and mental health, with social media use problems being linked to decreased mental health one year later, but not vice versa. Social media use problems also predicted increased levels of upward social comparisons and cyber victimization one year later, though these processes did not mediate the observed effect on decreased mental health. Over time, social media use intensity and mental health were not associated in any direction, either directly or indirectly through any mediators.

Summary: This study aims to assess the use of mobile technology and digital addiction among community-dwelling older adults, and its association with physical, mental and social health and quality of life. The results showed that older adults who owned smartphones had similar health outcomes compared to those without internet access. The importance of smartphones in life was associated with lower depressive symptoms and loneliness.

Summary: This study found a lack of consistency in strategies to identify lonely and socially isolated older adults in primary care, potentially leading to conflicts between intervention content and participant needs. Additionally, there was a predominance of schemes linking primary care with non-healthcare sectors, but durable interventions were scarce despite the need reported by professionals and participants for long-lasting interventions to create meaningful social networks. Sustainability should be a core outcome when implementing loneliness and social isolation interventions in primary care.

Summary: The study found that factors such as perceived stress, perceived need to seek help, past use of professional services, and social influence are positively associated with mental health app use among community college students, while privacy concerns are negatively associated. These findings can help inform the development of new digital interventions and outreach strategies.

Summary: Research using the integrated model of metacognition suggests that impairments in metacognition may lead to subjective disturbances in psychosis. In contrast, research on social cognition and mentalizing in psychosis highlights deficits in the understanding of self and others. By comparing these fields, it is found that metacognitive research in psychosis provides unique insight into the architecture of disturbances and offers potential implications for recovery-oriented treatment.

Summary: This pilot study demonstrates that tailoring a metacognitive intervention to improve social functioning and symptoms for schizophrenia is feasible and acceptable. Using real-world interactions in therapy sessions led to reduced negative metacognitive beliefs and disorganized symptoms, showing potential for impacting clinical practice by personalizing treatment to individual variations in environment and lifestyle.

Summary: Advances in artificial intelligence and natural language processing have improved the efficiency of assessing speech content and organization in schizophrenia. However, there is little research on the psychometrics of these approaches. This study examined the reliability of two common assessments, Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) and Coh-Metrix, and found fair to good reliability for speech organization measures. The study also highlighted the variation in speech indices based on demographic factors, emphasizing the need to design measures that are valid across different demographic groups.

Summary: This study examines the oral narrative construction and image reading of a wordless book by six K-2 children. The research findings suggest that verbal narratives become more coherent and cohesive as grade levels increase, and children demonstrate a complexity in image reading as they connect to their lifeworlds and actively engage their social imaginations.

Summary: The dialogical model of psychosis explains alterations in sense of self and agency observed in psychosis, but lacks clarity on the processes hindering dialogue. Research on metacognition offers an alternative approach. Recent studies deepen the exploration of core ideas in dialogical self theory while questioning other aspects of the theory.
