Purpose: Nonviolent communication (NVC) has been increasingly recognized as a potentially beneficial approach that could promote empathy, resolve conflicts, and improve psychosocial well-being. No validated measure is available to assess or quantify NVC-specific characteristics behaviors. This paper describes the development pilot psychometric evaluation of self-report for assessing behaviors characteristic NVC (e.g., awareness feelings, honest self-expression). Method: We analyzed data in an online convenience sample young adults (N = 205). Results: The 7-item Communication Behaviors Scale (NVCBS) was found have satisfactory internal consistency (α 0.789 0.810), good test-retest reliability (ICC 0.781) single-factor structure. NVCBS also positively correlated with empathy while negatively negative beliefs about emotions, demonstrating its construct validity. Discussion: study provides reliable valid which can facilitate future studies on NVC. Directions research are discussed.

Recent studies found that post-traumatic and dissociative symptoms are common in people with depressive symptoms. Although a trauma-related subtype of depression has been proposed, little is known about the persistence clinical consequences these symptoms.This one-year follow-up study investigated symptoms.We analyzed longitudinal data from an international sample self-reporting emotions (N = 152) (mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score 17.27; SD 6.31).More than half (58.4%) participants baseline stress disorder (PTSD) still met criteria for PTSD after one year.

Stress plays a central role in the onset and course of depression. However, only subset people who encounter stressful life events go on to experience depressive episode. The current review highlights recent advances understanding when, why, for whom stress-depression link occurs, we identify avenues future research.In last 18 months, researchers have taken more nuanced perspective biopsychosocial mechanisms critical link. For example, examination specific facets emotion regulation, including regulation flexibility interpersonal has been its Similarly, refined investigations social support allowed distinct - occasionally opposite outcomes depending context or manner which was provided.

The use of single-item measures self-rated mental health (SRMH) has been increasingly valued in epidemiologic research. However, little is known about the reliability and correlates SRMH Chinese populations. This study examined three samples. We analyzed data collected from two convenience samples adults Hong Kong and/or Taiwan (Sample 1: N = 205; Sample 2: 377), a random sample psychiatric inpatients 3: 100). Our results showed that measure had moderate to good test–retest (intraclass correlation [ICC] 0.75) 1 acceptable between self-report interviewer-administered versions (ICC 0.58) 3.

Background: The overlapping symptoms of schizophrenia and dissociation have been increasingly recognized. This paper explains why it is reasonable to expect that there would be a substantial subgroup patients diagnosed with spectrum disorders (SSDs) who suffer from pathological dissociation. Objective: As little known about the prevalence dissociative among SSDs, we investigated SSDs. Method: We used both self-report measures structured interviews examine in randomly recruited sample inpatients clinical diagnosis SSDs Taiwan (N = 100). Results: Over 60% participants exhibited dissociation, 54% had disorder according interview data; three met DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for identity disorder. concurrent validity this was similar depression reported literature. Participants were more likely report high-betrayal traumas meet post-traumatic stress disorder; they also psychotic than those without Conclusions: one very few studies results indicate not uncommon. Clinical assessment should include facilitate early identification.Antecedentes: Los síntomas superpuestos de Esquizofrenia y Disociación han sido cada vez más reconocidos. Este artículo explica por qué es razonable esperar que estos sean un subgrupo sustancial pacientes diagnosticados con trastornos del espectro la esquizofrenia (SSDs sus siglas en ingles) sufren disociación patológica.Objetivos: Como se conoce poco sobre prevalencia los disociativos entre nosotros investigamos SSDs.Método: Utilizamos medidas autoinforme entrevistas estructuradas para examinar disociativos, una muestra reclutada al azar hospitalizados diagnóstico clínico Taiwán 100).Resultados: Más participantes exhibieron patológica, el tuvo trastorno disociativo según datos estructuradas; tres cumplieron Criterios diagnósticos identidad disociativo. La validez concurrente patológica esta muestra, fue depresión reportada literatura.Los tuvieron probabilidad informar alta-traición cumplían criterios estrés postraumático; también informaron psicóticos aquellos sin disociativo.Conclusiones: uno pocos estudios utilizó resultados indican no infrecuente. evaluación clínica debe incluir facilitar identificación temprana.背景: 思覺失調症和解離在症狀上之重疊漸漸為人所關注。本文解釋為何我們預料不少被診斷患有思覺失調類群障礙症(SSD)之患者可能有病態解離。目的: 由於我們對解離症狀及解離症在SSD患者之盛行率知之甚少,我們探討SSD患者中解離症狀及解離症之普遍性。方法: 我們隨機招募台灣臨床診斷為SSD之住院患者(N 100),以自評問卷及結構性晤談來探討他們的解離症狀及解離症。結果: 根據結構性晤談的數據,超過60% 的參加者呈現病態解離,54%患有解離症;三名參加者符合DSM-5 解離性身份障礙之診斷標準。在我們的樣本中,病態解離的效度與文獻中思覺失調症患者的抑鬱之效度相近。跟沒有解離症的參加者相比,有解離症的參加者更有可能報告高度背叛創傷,並更大機會符合創傷後壓力症之診斷標準,而他們也報告更多精神病症狀。結論: 這是少數使用結構式晤談來探討SSD 患者之病態解離的研究。結果表明SSD患者之病態解離並不罕見,臨床評估應該包括解離的評估工具,以助及早識別相關狀況。.

Childhood trauma is associated with adulthood depressive symptoms, but very few studies explored potential social and interpersonal mediators behind this association. This study made the first attempt to test mediating effects of stress in associations between childhood betrayal non-betrayal symptoms.We analyzed data a sample English-speaking adults from diverse backgrounds (from 19 different countries, mainly Western countries) (N = 468). We then replicated compared results those another convenience Chinese-speaking younger cultural mental health status 205).The both samples indicated that (1) had stronger relationship symptoms than (2) was significant mediator even when included as covariate. The indirect effect on through not consistent two samples.Our findings point importance taking contexts into account investigating, preventing managing depression trauma-exposed populations. Early interventions such family interventions, skills training building resources may have change trajectory development problems survivors.
