Portable electroencephalography (EEG) allows neural activity to be recorded from whole classrooms, but correlated activity across students can arise from shared instructions, parallel changes in arousal or common artefact rather than interpersonal coupling, and dyads within one class are not independent observations. In this exploratory analysis, single-channel frontal EEG was recorded during...

First-person reports reveal a surprising convergence between symptoms of depersonalisation disorder (DPD) and certain forms of advanced meditation (AM). In both, individuals describe a fading, and even disappearance, of the ordinarily stable sense of being an embodied self. Yet the experiential tone and functional consequences strikingly differ. In DPD this alteration is endured as distressing...

Meditation became popular because of its numerous benefits, for instance, psychological stability, increased emotional control, reduced level of stress, and improved self-esteem. Adult women, in...

Abstract Background: African American cancer caregivers (AACCs) disproportionately assume caregiving responsibilities, often serving as sole unpaid caregivers to provide extensive support to their loved one. AACCs face financial strain, unemployment, psychological distress, sleep disturbance, medical mistrust, mental health stigma, and caregiving expectations shaped by family and cultural...

Instagram use has been linked to body image concerns. However, voluntarily abstaining from social media ("digital detox") as a strategy to mitigate this association has yielded mixed results. This raises the question of whether a complementary problem-focused intervention can strengthen the benefits of abstinence on body image outcomes. Building on this premise, the present one-week...

Mindfulness-based interventions have shown promise in supporting psychological well-being in children. However, mindfulness is commonly measured using self-report questionnaires, a method that might be problematic due to its reliance on children's accurate self-perceptions of their own mindfulness and the potential influence of social desirability bias. In the current study, we examined the...
