Summary: This study explores the mediating role of resilience between psychological predictors and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in breast cancer survivors. The findings suggest that resilience is a significant mediator and low resilience has detrimental effects on HRQoL. A resilience-oriented intervention is recommended to improve the health status of breast cancer survivors.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the engagement and theoretical drivers of camouflaging behavior in the general population. The findings revealed a similar dimensional structure of camouflaging behavior in the general population compared to previous studies on autism. Social motivational factors, such as social comparison, public self-consciousness, internalized social stigma, and social anxiety, were identified as significant predictors of camouflaging behavior. These findings highlight the shared social coping experience of camouflaging in the general population, including autistic individuals.

Summary: This study found differences between patients with gambling disorder (GD) with and without self-reported ADHD symptoms in terms of psychopathology, personality, and treatment outcomes. Patients with self-reported ADHD symptoms were more severe in their GD and experienced more severe relapses following treatment. Therefore, more vigilant follow-up and interventions are needed for patients with this comorbidity.
