Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and identifies key risk factors for worsening symptoms. The results show small decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms and increases in PTSD symptoms in prospective analyses. However, retrospective analyses demonstrate significant large increases in depression and anxiety symptoms, with 55% of participants reporting worsening mental health since the beginning of the pandemic. Worsening symptoms are associated with prior mental health diagnoses, female gender, young age, and unemployed/student status.

Summary: This study examined the psychological well-being of third year medical students during clinical rotations at Mount Sinai hospitals in New York City throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Surveys were conducted quarterly, anonymously, and online, covering psychological symptoms, risk and protective factors, coping strategies, demographics, COVID-19 concerns, and stressful events during clerkships. The findings revealed that a significant number of students experienced depression, anxiety, or PTSD during the year, with the highest prevalence in June 2020. COVID-19 worries decreased over time but did not have an impact on psychological symptoms at the end of the year. Factors such as baseline psychological distress, childhood emotional abuse, and resilience were found to predict depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD at the end of the year. This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing psychological distress among medical students.

Summary: This study investigated the mental health outcomes of COVID-19 survivors at 6 and 12 months postdiagnosis. It found that the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and PTSD decreased over time. Risk factors for these symptoms included higher neuroticism, lower openness, extraversion, agreeableness, and resilience, as well as disruptions to life and poorer living standards.

Summary: The mental health and wellbeing of healthcare workers have been uniquely affected by COVID-19. This study examines the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and behavioral health difficulties as a healthcare system transitions out of the first wave. Factors such as work role, setting, and individual diversity also play an important role in employee distress and coping strategies.

Summary: It remains unclear whether COVID-19 is associated with psychiatric symptoms during or after the acute illness phase. This prospective cohort study found that an increased number of COVID-19 symptoms was associated with clinically significant levels of depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms approximately two months later. Patients should be monitored for the development of psychiatric symptoms after COVID-19 treatment discharge, and early interventions could benefit these individuals.

Summary: This study examined the changes in mental health among U.S. military veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) positive screens increased, particularly among veterans aged 45-64 years. Most veterans showed resilience to mental health problems, but approximately one in seven veterans experienced increased distress.

Summary: Previous research has investigated the influence of specificity and temporal focus on cognition and affect. This study aimed to explore these questions in daily-life settings using experience sampling methods. The results showed that specificity prompts led to more creative, positive, coherent, and sensory-rich scenarios. However, specificity had minimal direct effects on affect, except for reduced self-reported anxiety in imagined scenarios. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Summary: The article presents the integrative model of effortful control, aiming to specify the neurophysiological bases of mental effort. It suggests that effort reflects three inter-related aspects: decision-making in task engagement, top-down control signal modulating neuronal activity, and the feeling of costs associated with goal-directed behavior. The article also proposes that effortful control capacity can be improved through training programs, supported by empirical evidence from meta-analyses. The neural mechanisms explaining these gains in effortful control are discussed, including decreased effort costs and increased value of effort through operant conditioning. Recommendations to improve intervention studies focusing on training effortful control are provided.

Summary: This study examines the influence of negative affect on self-control processes, specifically in relation to justification thinking and hypothetical self-control failure. Negative affect was found to increase deservingness thinking, leading to a higher likelihood of self-control failure, especially in inhibitory self-control situations. However, the impact of negative affect on initiatory self-control was minimal.

Summary: The standardized patient model is an effective method for training and assessment of clinical competencies, and it can also be adapted for training and assessing supervisory competency. The study confirmed the feasibility of the standardized supervisee framework in doctoral training programs, enhancing graduate students' supervisory knowledge and skills. Feedback on supervision skills was found to be important, highlighting the value of the experiential nature of the framework.

Summary: The study found that people's self-efficacy for willpower may fluctuate over time and based on context, with those who struggle with self-control being more vulnerable to these fluctuations. Higher willpower self-efficacy was associated with better emotional states, while lower willpower self-efficacy predicted subsequent distress intolerance in the borderline features group.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of invalidating childhood environments on emotion regulation skills and the role of mindfulness in this relationship. Findings indicated that the mindfulness facets of describing, non-judging, and non-reactivity partially mediated the relationship between perception of maternal invalidation and expressive suppression. Awareness and non-reactivity were also found to mediate the relationship between perception of maternal invalidation and cognitive reappraisal.
