Summary: This study utilized mobile ecological momentary assessment to examine the relationships among experiential avoidance, mood, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation attendance. Results indicated that higher experiential avoidance and negative mood predicted poorer attendance rates for the next week. Additionally, individuals with higher experiential avoidance reported greater negative affect and perceived stress, while those with lower scores reported more positive mood.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between context at home and adolescent sedentary time using real-time data capture methods. The findings revealed that being alone and indoors at home were positively associated with sedentary time. Adjusted sedentary time was not related to subsequent positive affect, indicating other factors may influence adolescent's positive affect in home settings.

Summary: The study aims to explore the association between current mood and face processing in participants' daily lives, showing that negative momentary mood is significantly associated with higher levels of distrust. However, there was no significant association found between negative mood and more negative emotion ratings.

Summary: Recent research suggests that higher temperatures may adversely affect mental health and increase hospitalization for mental illness. This study investigates the associations between ambient temperatures and daily mood, as well as the variables that modify this association. The findings show that higher temperatures are associated with a lower probability of having a bad mood in the general population, but individuals with certain psychiatric disorders may exhibit altered responses to heat.

Summary: Research suggests that the mood of depressed patients is dynamic, with highs and lows, and highly responsive to external and internal regulatory processes. The study aimed to explore distinctive profiles in real-time monitored mood dynamics among MDD patients in routine mental healthcare, identifying four different profiles based on average mood and mood variability. Emotional inertia was found to be similar across all profiles.

Summary: This study used a smartphone-based design to evaluate the influence of mood on judgment. The results showed that mood did not have a significant effect on individuals' judgments. Prior task performance and task trial were significant predictors of self-efficacy; sex and task trial were associated with face emotion recognition; and balloons popped the day prior, and task trial influenced individuals' evaluation of risk.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have had a detrimental effect on people's mental health. A study found that individuals' stress and mood fluctuated throughout the day during lockdown, and this was influenced by factors such as age, gender, financial security, depressive symptoms, and loneliness. Additionally, cortisol concentrations decreased following the lockdown, but this was not related to individual characteristics.

Summary: This study conducted a microanalysis on the association between mood and self-reported functionality in stroke patients using ecological momentary assessments. The results showed that mood and self-reported functionality were significantly associated at the same point in time, and patients' mood could predict their self-reported functionality at the next assessment point.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on the daily physical activity and contexts of adults, especially in areas like California and Colorado. Most individuals engage in physical activity alone, at home, and in the neighborhood. Older adults are more likely to exercise alone, and recreational space activities are more common on weekends.

Summary: The study found that negative affect was acutely related to heightened HPA axis activities in obese youths when exposed to high-sugar/low-fiber meals. However, the time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity did not moderate this relationship.

Summary: Previous studies found that behavioral cognitions among adolescents vary momentarily, and this study found that intentions and perceived behavioral control (PBC) are acutely associated with sedentary time. These findings highlight the potential for implementing just-in-time activity interventions among adolescents during at-risk periods within the day.

Summary: This study found that maternal education, employment status, and household factors are associated with daily physical activity and sedentary behavior. For example, mothers with a bachelor's degree have fewer short bouts of activity and more sedentary time. Working full-time is associated with more short bouts of activity and breaks in sedentary behavior. Additionally, having an infant or young child in the household influences maternal activity patterns.

Summary: This paper describes the study design, recruitment, and data collection procedures for the Temporal Influences on Movement and Exercise (TIME) study, which aims to examine real-time microtemporal influences underlying the adoption and maintenance of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. The study utilizes intermittent ecological momentary assessment and continuous, sensor-based passive monitoring to collect and analyze data. The results will be used to build more predictive health behavior theories and inform personalized behavior interventions.

Summary: This study found that Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) is associated with negative affect during cigarette abstinence in individuals with depression symptoms. However, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) does not have significant associations with positive or negative affect. This finding is important for maintaining positive affect during smoking cessation in individuals with elevated depression symptoms.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to summarize the evidence on the associations between adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with arterial structure and function in nonclinical children and adolescents. The findings suggest that abdominal obesity and poor body proportion are associated with adverse arterial outcomes, but the evidence regarding CRF is limited.

Summary: Young adult survivors of childhood cancer are less likely to be physically active compared to non-cancer affected controls, and mental health may contribute to physical activity in this population. Positive mental health characteristics are more likely to facilitate or result from physical activity, while negative mental health characteristics are not associated with physical activity.

Summary: This study found that the strength of the associations between affective states and sedentary behavior varies throughout the day and by measurement modality. There may be critical time windows when specific types of sedentary behaviors co-occur with affect, suggesting the need for tailored interventions based on the time of day and type of sedentary behavior.
