Meta-analytic prospective associations between self-esteem and eating disorders appear to be spurious: A reanalysis and comment on Krauss et al. (2023)

Published: Dec. 28, 2023

In a recent meta-analysis, Krauss et al. (2023) found support for reciprocal model of low self-esteem and eating disorders where, in vicious circle, makes people more vulnerable to developing disorders, turn, scars individuals’ self-esteem. However, the present reanalyses same meta-analytic data prospective decreasing effects between be spurious, probably due correlations with residuals regression mean. Consequently, claims by can challenged. To avoid statistical artifacts, we recommend researchers fit, as did study, competing models their order evaluate if may genuinely increasing or they appear spurious.

Questionable prospective effects on burnout and exhaustion: Simulated reanalyses of cross-lagged panel models

Published: Aug. 23, 2024

Burnout and exhaustion has been extensively studied in organizational work psychology. Studies using the cross-lagged panel models have tended to conclude, explicitly or implicitly (e.g., form of policy recommendations), causal prospective effects of, for example, demands, job insecurity, depression on burnout exhaustion. However, it is well established that model may be spurious, e.g., due correlations with residuals regression mean. Here, we scrutinized 23 previously reported burnout/exhaustion by fitting complementary data were simulated resemble evaluated studies. With one possible exception, did not withstand scrutiny, i.e., they appeared spurious. It important researchers bear mind correlations, including models, do prove causality order overinterpret findings. We recommend scrutinize findings from their data. If converge, conclusions are corroborated. If, other hand, diverge, caution advised claims causality, explicit implicit, should probably avoided.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: do best-evidenced trauma-focused interventions for children and young people with PTSD lead to changes in social and interpersonal domains?

European journal of psychotraumatology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Oct. 25, 2024

Objective: Young people with post-traumatic stress disorder experience difficulties in social and interpersonal domains. We examined whether the best-evidenced treatments of PTSD for children young (Trauma-focussed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing; aged 5–25) improve factors randomised controlled trials, compared to a comparator condition.

Detecting spurious effects in cross-lagged panel models: Triangulation is not a valid test

European Journal of Personality, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 1, 2024

The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) is an analytic technique used to examine the reciprocal causal effects of two or more variables assessed on occasions. Although widely used, CLPM has been criticized for relying implausible assumptions, violation which can often lead biased estimates effects. Recently, a triangulation method proposed identify spurious in simple analyses (e.g., Sorjonen, Melin, & 2024). We use simulations and discussion formulas underlying regression coefficients show that this does not provide valid indicator spuriousness. This identifies true as realistic situations should be diagnose whether effect estimated from not. There are clear reasons doubt CLPM, but results do add information about such spurious.

Individual, social and societal resilience factors in the face of societal challenges and crises: A systematic review of adult populations from OECD member states

Published: Nov. 8, 2023

Societal challenges put public mental health at risk and result in a growing interest resilience as trajectories of good during stressor exposure. Resilience factors increase the likelihood resilient responses. This systematic review summarizes evidence on predictive value individual, social societal factors. Fifty-one studies reported various stressors (e.g., pandemics). Higher income socioeconomic status, better emotion regulation flexibility were related to Findings mixed for most supporting importance fit between situational demands. Research into is needed.
