Behaviourally assessed negative urgency is uniquely associated with binge-eating frequency.

Binge eating appears to be associated with impulsivity, especially in response to negative affect (i.e., negative urgency). However, negative urgency is typically assessed via self-report, which captures only some aspects of urgency and may be subject to bias. Few studies have examined impulsivity following experimental manipulations of affect in binge-eating samples. In the present study, individuals who engage in regular binge eating completed a behavioural impulsivity (go/no-go) task with high- and low-calorie food stimuli, once following negative affect induction and once following neutral affect induction. Greater behavioural impulsivity to high-calorie food cues while in a negative (and not a neutral) affective state was associated with more frequent binge-eating behaviour. Further, this behavioural measure of negative urgency uniquely accounted for variance in binge-eating frequency when controlling for self-reported negative urgency, suggesting that behavioural measures may be a useful complement to self-report measures. These findings provide novel and compelling evidence for the relationship between negative urgency and binge eating, highlighting negative urgency as a potentially important target for intervention.

The impact of negative urgency on implicit mobile phone addiction tendency among college freshmen in the context of social exclusion.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of negative urgency on implicit mobile phone addiction tendency among college freshmen, and to observe whether social exclusion situations affect the relationship between negative urgency and implicit mobile phone addiction tendency. The UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale was used to screen 575 freshmen from a certain university. The experiment utilized a GO/NO-GO paradigm. Experiment 1 employed a 2 (negative urgency group: high negative urgency group, low negative urgency group) × 2 (word type: phone related words, phone non-related words) two-factor mixed experimental design. Experiment 2 employed a 2 (negative urgency group: high negative urgency group, low negative urgency group) × 2 (social exclusion type: priming group, non-priming group) × 2 (word type: phone related words, phone non-related words) three-factor mixed experimental design. Experiment 1 results showed a significant main effect of negative urgency group and a significant interaction effect between negative urgency group and word type. Experiment 2 results demonstrated a significant main effect of negative urgency group and a significant main effect of social exclusion type. There was a significant interaction effect between word type and social exclusion type, as well as between word type and negative urgency group. The three-way interaction effect among negative urgency group, word type, and social exclusion type was significant. College freshmen with high negative urgency exhibit a higher tendency toward implicit mobile phone addiction. In social exclusion situations, college freshmen show a higher tendency toward implicit smartphone addiction. Social exclusion situations and negative urgency jointly influence the implicit mobile phone addiction tendency of college freshmen.

Congruence effects in social media influencer marketing: the moderating role of wishful identification in online impulse buying intentions

Purpose Grounded in self-congruency theory, this study aims to investigate the impact of different types of congruence in social media influencer marketing on consumers’ online impulse buying intentions under the moderating influence of wishful identification. Design/methodology/approach This study collects survey responses from an online sample of 232 social media users and analyses them using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings This study delineates two distinct pathways influencing online impulse buying intentions within influencer marketing: direct consumer–product congruence and the conditional role of consumer–influencer congruence. Particularly, the alignment between a consumer’s self-image and the product’s attributes independently drives online impulse buying intentions. Conversely, consumer–influencer congruence, despite high alignment, fails to spur online impulse buying intentions unless amplified by wishful identification – the consumer’s aspirational desire to emulate the influencer. This finding underscores the complexity of impulsive consumer behaviours in the digital marketplace, highlighting the pivotal role of product appeal and the conditional influence of influencer relationships on spontaneous purchasing decisions. Originality/value This study pioneers by elucidating the congruence interplay between consumers, influencers and products in online impulse buying, emphasising wishful identification as a critical moderating factor. Theoretically, it expands self-congruency theory by detailing the distinct roles of congruence types on impulsive behaviours, notably underlining the essential role of wishful identification for the effect of consumer–influencer congruence. Practically, the insights equip brands with a deeper understanding of the key drivers behind impulsive purchases in an influencer-centric digital marketplace, offering strategic guidance for optimising influencer collaborations and product presentations to enhance consumer engagement and sales.

Impulsivity and self-harm behavior in patients with synthetic cannabinoids dependence

Background Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) dependence is increasingly prevalent among young individuals globally, with limited understanding of their potential detrimental effects. Therefore, we conducted this comparative study to assess impulsivity and non-suicidal self-harm behavior in patients with SCs dependence. Subjects and method We conducted this comparative, case-control study in the outpatient clinics of (Beni-suef University Hospital). We recruited 30 patients with SCs dependence and the 30 healthy subjects as a control group. Psychometric scales, including Addiction Severity Index (ASI), Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11), Deliberate Self-harm Inventory-Short Version (DSHI), SCID I, SCID II, and drug urine screen, were applied to compare the two study arms. Results DSHI-s scores were significantly higher between the two study arms (3.23 ± 4.97 vs. 0.0 ± 0.0, p < 0.001, for cases and controls, respectively). Similarly, the mean ± SD score of the BIS scale was significantly higher in cases 68.13 ± 9.75 compared to the control group (45.67 ± 5.12) with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Using the regression analysis, we observed a significant positive linkage between age, duration of substance use, DSHI-s, and the Barratt scale. Conclusion Patients with synthetic cannabis addiction exhibited more impulsivity and self-harm behaviors compared to healthy controls. The adverse effects of substance use disorder escalated, notably in individuals classified as having severe addiction based on the Addiction Severity Index. Age and length of substance use were found to be potential factors influencing the level of impulsivity and self-harm actions.

IT Affordances, Flow, and Perceived Scarcity: A Study on Impulsive Buying Behavior and Post-Purchase Dissonance in Live Shopping

Live shopping has evolved significantly as extensive publications have explored this phenomenon from the perspective of streamers and consumers. However, there is limited analysis from the human-computer interaction perspective, particularly concerning IT affordances. Therefore, the research aimed to enhance the understanding of human-computer interaction in live streaming sessions, exploring flow experiences and the influence on impulsive buying behavior, which led to postpurchase dissonance. The moderating role of perceived scarcity was also examined. The research adopted convenience sampling and obtained 250 online survey responses. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. The results show that three IT affordance components, visibility, metavoicing, and interactivity, foster flow experiences, but guidance shopping does not. Furthermore, flow experiences are found to stimulate impulsive buying behavior, which subsequently leads to post-purchase dissonance. The results further show a negative impact of perceived scarcity on buying behavior, while the effect of scarcity is anticipated to enhance buying motivation. These results contribute to understanding the significant drivers of flow experiences in live shopping and the implications of perceived scarcity. Enhancing interactive communication between streamers and viewers is essential for businesses while promoting attractive visibility and comprehensive product information during live shopping sessions. Additionally, scarcity effects should be approached with caution only when necessary to accelerate the call to action.

The effect of religiosity, materialism and self-esteem on compulsive and impulsive buying behavior

Purpose This study aims to explore the global issues of impulse buying, compulsive purchasing and materialism. It examines how materialism relates to self-esteem and the tendencies for impulsive and compulsive buying. In addition, the study delves into the impact of religiosity on self-esteem and materialistic values in an Islamic country. Design/methodology/approach Enumerators visited universities, distributing 415 questionnaires and receiving 397 in return. Due to the unavailability of a sample frame for the target population, the study used nonprobability sampling for statistical analysis, which included assessments of normality, reliability, validity and bootstrapping for the structural model, the researchers used Smart PLS. Findings The study confirmed 13 hypotheses while rejecting four. The unsupported hypotheses are: (i) materialism negatively impacts impulsive purchasing behavior, (ii) impulsive purchasing does not mediate the relationship between materialism and compulsive purchasing, (iii) materialism does not mediate the relationship between religiosity and impulsive purchasing and (iv) in an Islamic country, neither materialism nor impulsive purchasing significantly mediates the relationship between religiosity and compulsive purchasing. Research limitations/implications This study was conducted in a city within a developing Islamic nation, focusing on college students. It suggests that future research could include more cities, a diverse population segments and multicultural perspectives. The research primarily examined the direct relationships between religiosity and factors such as self-esteem, materialism and impulsive purchasing. Future studies could explore religiosity as a mediating factor. This study highlights that materialism (M), impulsive buying (IB) and compulsive buying (CB) are not only closely interconnected but also adversely affect individual, family and societal well-being, raising global concerns. While occasional impulsive behavior is common among individuals in Islamic nations, repeated indulgences in the same behavior could lead to an obsession with excessive purchasing. Practical implications This study holds significant implications for consumers and retailers. Excessive and unnecessary spending can increase financial burden and adversely affect family welfare. Often, families and acquaintances inadvertently teach children to engage in extreme purchasing behaviors. To combat this, families and religious leaders should educate individuals about the detrimental effects of impulsive and compulsive purchasing. In addition, colleges and other institutions should organize seminars and workshops to address these issues. Retailers, whose sales largely depend on impulsive and compulsive consumers, should employ interpersonal influencers and brand advocates to connect with this customer segment effectively. Originality/value This study examined the relationship between religiosity, materialism, self-esteem and impulsive and compulsive purchasing behaviors. This study thoroughly tested 17 hypotheses, encompassing direct, mediating and multimediating relationships. The findings reveal that materialism’s impact on impulsive behavior is negligible compared to previous research, corroborating the findings presented in the cited literature.

Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder and Paediatric Dentistry

Aim: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) restlessness one of the most frequently diagnosed neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders in children, with a higher incidence observed in boys compared to girls. The fundamental characteristics of ADHD include three main symptoms: pronounced lack of attention, excessive hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviour. Materials and Methods: The diagnostic process for ADHD is complex and multidimensional, involving a thorough analysis of behaviour, collection of extensive and detailed information, comprehensive evaluation of the child’s developmental history, and intensive collaboration between various specialists, including educators, psychologists, paediatricians, dentists as well as active participation of parents or guardians. With the increasing number of diagnosed cases of ADHD globally, it becomes increasingly important to timely recognize the symptoms and symptomatology of the disorder and to apply appropriate therapeutic strategies and treatment methods tailored to the individual needs of each child. Results: Dental care requires special attention in the context of ADHD. Children with ADHD face greater challenges in maintaining oral hygiene, leading to an increased risk of dental caries, more frequent oral traumas, and generally poorer oral health conditions. Conclusion: It is crucial to ensure a tailored approach during dental treatment, which may include establishing special communication and techniques adapted to the child, as well as increasing the frequency of preventive check-ups and interventions to preserve and enhance oral health.

This research uses primary data by distributing questionnaires online to 100 respondents in Kupang City who are online loan users. This research uses non-probability purposive sampling. Data analysis in this research uses multiple linear regression analysis with the results of the research showing that financial knowledge, financial behavior and financial attitudes have a significant effect on interest in online loans among people in Kupang City.

Exploring the Impact of Conformity on Impulsive Buying: Implications for Counseling Practices

Given the increasing prevalence of impulsive buying behavior among football supporters, understanding the underlying social influences becomes crucial for effective intervention. This study examines the relationship between conformity and impulsive buying behavior among football supporters in Salatiga. Using a quantitative correlational design, data was collected from 106 participants via an online questionnaire distributed through social media. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between conformity and impulsive buying, with 49.1% of participants exhibiting high conformity and 55.7% displaying high impulsive buying behavior. The effective contribution of conformity to impulsive buying was 82%, indicating that peer pressure and social dynamics significantly influence buying behavior. The study suggests that counselors should develop targeted interventions to help individuals manage conformity pressures, enhance self-awareness, and make more rational purchasing decisions. The research highlights the need for financial literacy education and supportive group counseling sessions to address the psychological and practical aspects of impulsive buying. However, the study's limitations include its focus on a specific demographic and potential biases in self-reported data, necessitating further research to generalize the findings.

Emotional dysregulation in relation to substance use and behavioral addictions: Findings from five separate meta-analyses

Background/objectiveEmotional dysregulation (ED) is a transdiagnostic variable underlying various psychiatric disorders, including addictive behaviors (ABs). This meta-analysis examines the relationship between ED and ABs (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, gambling, and gaming), and indicators of AB engagement (frequency, quantity/time of use, severity, and problems). MethodSearches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, WoS, and PsycINFO. Five separate meta-analysis were run using random-effects models. Moderators (age, sex, continental region, and sample type; community vs. clinical), and publication bias were evaluated. ResultsA total of 189 studies (N = 78,733; 51.29 % women) were identified. ED was significantly related to all ABs. Problems and severity indicators exhibited the largest effects (r’s .118-.372, all p <.023). There were larger effect sizes for cannabis problems (r = .372), cannabis severity (r = .280), gaming severity (r = .280), gambling severity (r = .245), gambling problems (r = .131), alcohol problems (r = .237), alcohol severity (r = .204), and severity of nicotine dependence (r = .118). Lack of impulse control exhibited some of the largest effects in relation to ABs. Clinical samples of cannabis users vs. community-based exhibited larger magnitude of associations. ConclusionsInterventions targeting ABs should address lack of strategies and impulsive behaviors as an emotion regulation strategy specifically, as it is a common risk factor for ABs.

Empty nest syndrome: A concept analysis.

Empty nest syndrome (ENS) is parents' experience to their children leaving home. Considering the lack of a clear definition of this concept and its context-based nature, this study aimed to define the ENS concept. A three-phase concept analysis using a hybrid model was used. In the theoretical (first) phase, a literature review was conducted using Scopus, WOS, PubMed, ProQuest, Irandoc, Research.idml, Magiran, and SID, with the search terms "empty nest syndrome," "aged," and "middle-aged," and their synonyms, with no time and language restrictions until the end of 2021. After the screening, 29 relevant articles entered the study. According to the findings of the first phase, the fieldwork (second) phase was directed using the qualitative content analysis approach, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine elderly and middle-aged individuals with an open-ended question. Results from both were included in the final (third) phase. The theoretical phase created an operational definition to guide the fieldwork phase. The fieldwork phase resulted in the emergence of six themes. The final analysis phase formulated a comprehensive definition of this concept: "ENS is a subjective phenomenon that occurs as a result of parents' reaction to their children leaving home." This transition from crisis to self-regaining includes the stages of mourning or resistance reaction, feelings of loss or passive behaviors, sublimation or impulsive behaviors, adaptation, and relief. It initiates with the last child's departure and continues until two years. Exploration of the concept of ENS can be the basis for designing a model or theoretical framework, devising measurement instruments for the concept and its consequences, and developing programs to increase the healthcare team's awareness to identify the problem and conduct appropriate preventive or therapeutic measures.

Adapting a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group Within a Jail Setting: Implementation Challenges and Considerations

Over 12 million admissions into local jails are logged each year, for charges ranging from misdemeanor traffic violations to felony homicide. Compared to people incarcerated in prisons, those held in jails face quicker community reentry, elevated reincarceration rates, overcrowding, and few opportunities to participate in programming. People caught in this cycle often experience many contextual and personal barriers, which include difficulty regulating their emotions, refraining from aggressive and impulsive behaviors, and communicating effectively. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been put forth as a promising evidence-based approach that is particularly well-suited to address the risks and needs of jail populations. By helping incarcerated individuals balance the “dialectic” between acceptance of the present (e.g., coping with current incarceration) and preparation for future change (e.g., planning for community reentry), DBT can help individuals gain coping skills that are directly related to preventing reoffending. This paper describes our research team’s adaptation of a DBT skills group in a jail setting, feasibility and attrition data, and challenges and lessons learned. We highlight the value of adapting treatments in underserved settings, working closely with community partners to align goals and overcome logistical challenges, and ensuring flexibility of implementation. We believe that our experiences can provide practical insights and recommendations for both scholars and practitioners within the field.

Prevalence, Impact, and Screening Methods of Sarcopenia in Japanese Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disease manifesting as low muscle mass and impaired muscle function. It has been reported that sarcopenia correlates with a low quality of life (QOL) and an increased risk of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the prevalence, impact, and screening methods of sarcopenia in Japanese patients with PD. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus. We compared demographic characteristics, severity of PD, levodopa equivalent daily dose, QOL, fatigue, impulsive and compulsive behaviors, body mass index (BMI), calf circumference, skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), handgrip strength, a 4-meter gait speed, a five-time sit-to-stand test (FTSST), short physical performance battery, and SARC-F questionnaire scores between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups. Furthermore, to investigate the best tool for screening sarcopenia in PD, the sensitivity and specificity of calf circumference, handgrip strength, FTSST, and SARC-F questionnaire were compared. The prevalence of sarcopenia in PD was 31.9% (15/47). The sarcopenia group showed significantly higher age (77.3 ± 5.12 versus 70.3 ± 8.17, p = 0.0042), lower BMI (19.3 ± 2.99 versus 23.3 ± 3.18, p = 0.0002), higher rate of decreased calf circumference (86.6% versus 34.3%, p = 0.0013) and SMI (100% versus 6.25%, p < 0.0001), and worse FTSST (15.5 ± 5.57 versus 12.0 ± 4.12, p = 0.0219). The other parameters were not significantly different. Among screening tools, calf circumference had the highest sensitivity (86%) and specificity (65%). All screening tools had higher sensitivity and specificity in men than in women. The SARC-F questionnaire was not useful in distinguishing sarcopenia but was significantly correlated with the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 (r = 0.41, p = 0.0037) and the 39-item Parkinson's Disease QOL Scale (r = 0.71, p < 0.0001). This study investigated the characteristics of PD patients with sarcopenia in Japan. Calf circumference was found to be the most useful tool for screening sarcopenia in PD. Handgrip strength and FTSST also showed high sensitivities, particularly in men. Conversely, the SARC-F questionnaire is not suitable for diagnosing sarcopenia in PD.

The Influence of Self-Control on Aggressiveness in Adolescents: A Systematic Review

Aggressiveness is the tendency to behave harshly, violently, or hostilely towards others. It can be physical, verbal, or even emotional. Aggressiveness is often considered a negative trait because it can lead to conflicts and harm both oneself and others. One of the factors that can influence it is self-control, which is the ability to restrain or manage impulsive or excessive urges and behaviors. Eight out of 15 international journals indicate that adolescent aggressive behavior includes various types, such as physical aggression, verbal aggression, and modeling aggression. Self-control has a significant influence on adolescent aggressiveness. The results of the systematic review show that good self-control can help manage and direct aggressiveness toward more positive and constructive outcomes. Other factors that influence aggressiveness include gender, parenting styles, and emotional regulation. Therefore, understanding the interaction of these factors is crucial in addressing and managing aggressiveness to foster healthier social interactions and personal well-being.

Polyvictimization and emotion regulation in daily life: An ecological momentary assessment study of young adults.

Individuals who experience polyvictimization, or victimization across multiple life contexts, show particularly severe outcomes across a range of mental health diagnoses, potentially related to difficulties in regulating emotion. However, prior research has been limited by reliance on cross-sectional designs and retrospective trait measures of emotion regulation. The present study used ecological momentary assessment to test associations between polyvictimization and emotion regulation in daily life. After completing a baseline survey assessing trauma exposure, mental health symptoms, and trait emotion regulation, undergraduates (N = 122) completed smartphone surveys assessing state emotion regulation four times per day for 14 days. Low correspondence was observed between trait and state measures of emotion regulation. After accounting for baseline mental health symptoms, polyvictimization independently predicted lower scores on an aggregative measure of putatively adaptive strategies (i.e., reappraisal, acceptance, problem solving) in daily life. However, polyvictimization did not predict aggregate scores of putatively maladaptive strategies (i.e., cognitive and expressive suppression, rumination, impulsive behavior, avoidance). Baseline depression and posttraumatic stress predicted higher use of putatively maladaptive strategies. Results suggest polyvictimization may be associated with less use of adaptive emotion regulation in daily life, whereas mental health symptoms may be associated with more use of maladaptive strategies. These findings highlight the utility of experience sampling approaches for increasing insight into emotion regulation difficulties among trauma survivors.

THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN E-COMMERCE OPTIMIZATION, CONSUMER TRUST, AND IMPULSIVE BUYING: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

This study investigates the burgeoning e-commerce market in Thailand, focusing on consumer trust, e-commerce optimization, and impulsive buying behaviors among Generation Z. With a significant portion of Thailand's population engaging in online shopping, the study aims to understand the factors influencing consumer trust and the impact of e-commerce optimization on impulsive buying. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 721 respondents aged 18-28 and data analysis using SEM-PLS. The main findings show that e-commerce optimization has a significant positive correlation with consumer trust (R² = 0.965) and impulsive buying (R² = 0.988). This research provides practical contributions for e-commerce practitioners to enhance their marketing and operational strategies based on these findings The results indicate a strong positive correlation between consumer trust and e-commerce optimization, The practical implications of these findings suggest that e-commerce platforms should focus on enhancing their security features and user-friendliness to foster consumer trust, which in turn can lead to increased impulsive buying. Additionally, businesses can utilize these insights to design more effective marketing strategies that leverage consumer trust to drive impulsive purchases. This research provides practical contributions for e-commerce practitioners to enhance their marketing and operational strategies based on these findings. Despite challenges such as consumer trust issues and logistical inefficiencies, the potential for e-commerce growth in Thailand remains substantial, driven by government support and private sector innovation.

Emotion-related impulsivity and suicidal ideation and behavior in schizophrenia spectrum disorder: a pilot fMRI study.

Suicidal ideation and behavior (SIB) are serious problems in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Nevertheless, relatively little is known about the circuitry underlying SIB in SSD. Recently, we showed that elevated emotional impulsivity (urgency) was associated with SIB in SSD. Here we examined brain activity in people with SSD and elevated SIB. We tested 16 people with SSD who had low SIB and 14 people with high SIB on a task in which emotion regulation in response to affective pictures was implicitly manipulated using spoken sentences. Thus, there were neutral pictures preceded by neutral statements (NeutNeut condition), as well as negative pictures preceded by either negative (NegNeg) or neutral (NeutNeg) statements. After each picture, participants rated how unpleasant each picture was for them. The latter two conditions were compared to the NeutNeut condition. We compared the emotion-regulated condition (NeutNeg) to the unregulated condition (NeutNeut). Statistics were threshold using threshold free cluster enhancement (TFCE). People in the low SIB group showed higher activation in this contrast in medial frontal gyrus, right rostral anterior cingulate, bilateral superior frontal gyrus/DLPFC, and right middle cingulate gyrus, as well as right superior temporal gyrus. This study provides clues to the neural basis of SIB in SSD as well as underlying mechanisms.

Implicit measures of suicide vulnerability: Investigating suicide-related information-processing biases and a deficit in behavioral impulse control in a high-risk sample and healthy controls

ObjectiveRelevant implicit markers of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) have only been studied in isolation with mixed evidence. This is the first study that investigated a suicide attentional bias, a death-identity bias and a deficit in behavioral impulsivity in a high-risk sample and healthy controls. MethodWe administered the Death Implicit Association Test, the Modified Suicide Stroop Task, and a Go/No-Go Task to inpatient suicide ideators (n = 42), suicide attempters (n = 40), and community controls (n = 61). ResultsSuicide ideators and attempters showed a suicide attentional bias and a death-identity bias compared to healthy controls. Ideators and attempters did not differ in these implicit information-processing biases. Notably, only attempters were more behaviorally impulsive compared to controls; however, ideators and attempters did not significantly differ in behavioral impulsivity. Moreover, implicit scores were positively intercorrelated in the total sample. ConclusionIn line with the Cognitive Model of Suicide, ideators and attempters display suicide-related information processing biases, which can be considered as implicit cognitive markers of suicide vulnerability. Furthermore, attempters have elevated levels of behavioral impulsiveness. These results are highly relevant in the context of crisis intervention strategies and warrant further research.
