Summary: Classic old movies and TV series can evoke individuals' memories from the past. The personality traits-motivation-behavior framework helps us understand that nostalgia can lead to repeated watching behavior. Through an online survey, we found that open, agreeable and neurotic individuals are more likely to feel nostalgic and have the intention of repeated watching. Moreover, social connectedness acts as a mediator between these personality traits and the behavioral intention of repeated watching for agreeable and neurotic individuals.

Summary: Clinical prediction models can help adults with recurrent depression choose between antidepressant medication (ADM) maintenance or switching to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). The study found that individuals with the poorest ADM prognoses who switched to MBCT had better outcomes compared to those who continued with ADM. For individuals with moderate to good ADM prognoses, both treatments resulted in similar likelihood of relapse.

Summary: Depression is a rising global disability, and one of its most debilitating aspects is depressive rumination. Mindfulness meditation has been found to be beneficial for individuals experiencing negative rumination. A study using functional magnetic resonance imaging showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy led to decreased connectivity in the salience network during rumination, and this change in connectivity was associated with improvements in attention to body sensations.

Summary: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression (MBCT-D) has been shown to effectively repair positive affect deficits in depressed individuals. This study examined the mechanism of action underlying these changes and found that training the capacity to attend to external sensory experience may be one way in which MBCT-D enhances positive affect in individuals with residual depression.

Summary: This study examined the impact of mindfulness training on adolescents' prosocial and antisocial tendencies, as well as their susceptibility to prosocial and antisocial influence. The findings suggest that mindfulness training does not change the likelihood of engaging in prosocial or antisocial behaviors, but participants were more influenced by prosocial influence than antisocial influence regardless of training group. Additionally, both training programs reduced participants' susceptibility to antisocial influence.

Summary: This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of secondary school students and its association with individual, family, friendship, and school characteristics. The results showed that mental health difficulties increased among students exposed to the pandemic, including risk of depression, social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties, and mental well-being. Positive school climate, high home connectedness, and having a friend during lockdown were protective factors during the pandemic. Female gender and initial low risk for mental health difficulties were associated with greater mental health deteriorations. Partial school attendance during lockdown was associated with better adjustment when returning to school.

Summary: The primary aim of this study was to explore the effects and potential mechanisms of four Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) practices at both state and trait levels. One hundred sixty adults were randomly assigned to one of four mindfulness practices and the results showed state-level effects in various mechanisms and outcomes, except for state decentering. However, after controlling for pre-scores and additional covariates, no significant between-group effects were found. Trait-level effects were demonstrated in psychological quality of life and most mechanisms, but no between-group effects were found. Changes in mindfulness, self-compassion, decentering, and interoceptive awareness were associated with improvements in psychological quality of life.
