Summary: This study found that scores on the Hypomanic Personality Scale were related to emotional clarity but not attention to emotion. High HPS scores were associated with intensity and instability of negative affect only for those at low and mean levels of attention. There was a significant indirect association between HPS scores and emotional outcomes through low emotional clarity.

Summary: In young adults with high HPS scores, sleep disturbances were linked to negative affect, attention difficulties, and impulsivity. Variability in sleep duration was associated with mood, cognition, and behavior, indicating a significant relationship between sleep and risk for bipolar spectrum disorders. The findings suggest that improving sleep may be a key target for alleviating symptoms of BSDs in daily life.

Summary: This study examined the multidimensional structure of the Hypomanic Personality Scale (HPS) in a large sample and found that previous models were unable to replicate factors with equal congruence. The HPS lacks factorial validity as a multidimensional measure of bipolar spectrum psychopathology in previous research, and it is recommended to develop a new multidimensional assessment instead.

Summary: The study found that there were no significant differences in daily affective variability between women and men. Even if differences exist, the effects are likely to be small. The results suggest that ovarian hormones may not influence affective variability in women to a greater extent than biopsychosocial factors that influence daily emotion in men.

Summary: This study investigated the cognitive mechanisms of mood amplification in individuals with subclinical bipolar disorder spectrum. The findings suggest that positive mental imagery can significantly increase affect in individuals with high hypomanic-like experiences. The study highlights the importance of targeting elated imagery in prevention strategies while potentially preserving calm imagery for adaptive positive emotionality.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between affect variability and inflammation, particularly focusing on the moderating effect of average affect. The findings suggest that higher average affect, both positive and negative, is associated with greater inflammation. However, the association is nonlinear, with a positive association for those with higher average affect and a negative association for those with lower average affect.

Summary: A brain-computer interface (BCI) allows direct communication between a user and a computer through the central nervous system. An affective BCI (aBCI) monitors and regulates the emotional state of the brain, which has various applications in human cognition, communication, decision-making, and health. This tutorial provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide on aBCIs, covering basic concepts, components of a closed-loop aBCI system, representative applications, and challenges and opportunities in aBCI research and applications.

Summary: The study shows that different responses to others' pain are linked to different clinical and psychophysiological characteristics. Affective-General pain responders have strong subjective bodily experiences but struggle to read objective interoceptive signals. Sensory-localized pain responders have differences in constructing multi-sensory body schema and show enhanced cardiovagal reactivity, often indicating better stress adaptation.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between openness and schizotypy in a sample of 2,236 adults and found that positive schizotypy was associated with higher levels of openness, while negative schizotypy was associated with lower levels of openness. The factor structure of openness included fantasy/feelings, eccentricity, nontraditionatism, and ideas factors. These findings support the multidimensional nature of schizotypy and openness.

Summary: Positive, negative, and disorganized schizotypy dimensions have different associations with symptoms and impairment. Disorganized schizotypy is the least studied dimension among the three. It is associated with emotional dysregulation, negative affect, and neuroticism. This study examines the overlapping and differential associations of disorganized schizotypy and neuroticism with experiences in daily life. The findings suggest that disorganized schizotypy is not simply overlapping with neuroticism, but a complex construct involving emotion regulation, cognition, communication, and behavior disruption.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the factor-analytic and cumulative risk approaches of childhood adversity using questionnaire and interview measures, and to examine their associations with transdiagnostic psychopathology. Four adversity dimensions were identified, and a cumulative risk index was created based on these dimensions. The findings showed that the adversity dimensions and cumulative risk index were associated with measures of depression, anxiety, and psychosis-spectrum psychopathology.
