Emotion dysregulation and loneliness as predictors of food addiction by Eirini Tatsi, Atiya Kamal, Alistar Turvill, Regina Holler

“…Poisson regression analysis demonstrated that the model predicts food addiction (P <0.001). Specifically, food addiction symptom count was positively predicted by difficulty engaging in goal-directed behaviour, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness and limited access to emotion regulation strategies (P <0.05); DERS total, nonacceptance of emotional responses and lack of emotional clarity were not significant predictors. …”

Psychological distress and coping strategies among Indonesian psychologists during the COVID-19 pandemic: a two-wave cross-lagged study by Fitri Ariyanti Abidin, Ahmad Gimmy Prathama, Efi Fitriana, Evy Sulfiani Komala, Joeri K. Tijdink

“…Multiple regression analysis was used to perform cross-lag analyses on the data.Results: The findings revealed that adaptive coping strategies were strong predictors of continued use of adaptive coping strategies six months later, while existing psychological distress strongly predicted future distress. Notably, maladaptive coping strategies demonstrated a similar pattern, predicting the continued use of maladaptive coping techniques over time, but they were also consistently associated with psychological distress across both time points, though they did not significantly predict future psychological distress.Discussion: These findings shed light on the dynamic nature of coping strategies and psychological distress among psychologists, presenting significant implications for their support systems and mental health during the challenges posed by the pandemic. …”

Phenotypic divergence across populations does not affect habitat selection in an Amazonian poison frog by Martin Mayer, Lia Schlippe Justicia, Bibiana Rojas

“…We hypothesized that habitat selection differs (1) among populations containing different variants, predicting that larger-bodied frogs are less dependent on moisture-retaining structures; (2) between disturbed and pristine areas, predicting frogs in disturbed areas being more reliant on structural diversity and water bodies; and (3) between males and females, predicting stronger differences in habitat selection in populations with greater sexual size dimorphism. …”
