Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) represent one of the most at-risk groups for HIV infection and experience sexual minority stress especially in high-stigma settings, which affects their psychological health and increases likelihood of HIV-risk behaviors. The HIV epidemic in China is increasing rapidly among YMSM. However, no evidence-based intervention has specifically targeted Chinese YMSM's minority stress to improve their mental and sexual health. Adaptation of evidence-based interventions to promote the mental and sexual health of YMSM is one promising way to achieve the global target of HIV epidemic control. The current adaptation study followed the Assessment-Decision-Administration-Production-Topical Experts-Integration-Training-Testing model. YMSM (n = 41) and key stakeholders (n = 16) in China provided feedback into the selected intervention, a cognitive-behavioral therapy called Effective Skills to Empower Effective Men, originally developed with efficacy in the United States. An open pilot (n = 8) was also then conducted. Qualitative and quantitative data collected from each adaptation phase were analyzed to form the adapted intervention "Yi Si Tang ()." Adaptations addressed a cultural context prioritizing family needs, limited support from the health system, as well as YMSM delivery preferences. YMSM and key stakeholders deemed the intervention acceptable and preliminarily feasible for the Chinese context. The pre-post comparison of mental and sexual health outcomes indicated improvement in mental health and sexual health of Chinese YMSM. Outcomes of the small initial pilot suggest future promise for this first-of-its-kind intervention for Chinese YMSM.

It could be assumed that the trajectory of depression as assessed by self-report questionnaire measures would be characterized by a similar pattern. We aimed to evaluate this assumption and more clearly establish the longitudinal trajectory of depression in youth, when repeatedly assessed over time with a self-report questionnaire and with a diagnostic interview. Participants were 679 youth ages 7-16 years at baseline (Mage = 11.8, SD = 2.4, 56% girls). They completed the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) every 3 months for 3 years (13 time points) and were interviewed every 6 months using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) to ascertain onset of depression diagnosis. A series of growth curve models was fit to the CDI and K-SADS data. A piecewise model characterized growth in depression as assessed by the CDI, with an initial negative linear slope (b = -0.64) spanning the first 3 assessments, and a positive quadratic second slope (b = 0.015; linear component b = -0.22) spanning the remaining 10 assessments. Depression, as assessed by the K-SADS, grew continuously over time (a positive linear slope, b = 0.23). Findings illustrate differences between longitudinal trajectories of depression when assessed repeatedly by self-report questionnaire and diagnostic interview. Implications for research designed to study longitudinal depression trajectories are discussed.

We examined intersession and in-session intimate behaviors, at the within-member (differences in intimate behaviors between weeks/sessions), between-member (average differences in intimate behaviors between group members) and between-groups (group-level differences in intimate behaviors). Participants were 178 graduate students (86% identifying as women and 14% as men) participating in 10 5-session growth groups led by experienced group therapists. Before group sessions, group members completed the Interpersonal Relations Scale Checklist (IRScl; Shadish, 1984) indicating their number of intersession intimate behaviors for the previous week and, at the end of group sessions, they filled in the IRScl to indicate their in-session intimate behaviors. A 3-level HLM analysis (sessions, memd).Research suggests that plurisexual individuals face ongoing decisions about whether and how accurately to present their sexual orientation to others, in part because of stereotypes and negative attitudes specific to plurisexuality. This study tested a within-person model of theoretical predictors and outcomes of self-presentational accuracy in a sample of 165 cisgender plurisexual women. Participants completed online surveys to report on situations involving self-presentation decisions as they occurred over a 14-day period. Participants also completed nightly surveys assessing facets of well-being. Self-presentational accuracy varied substantially from day to day. Several contextual and relational factors, including acceptance and rejection cues, interaction partners' sexual orientation, and interpersonal closeness, predicted self-presentational accuracy, both directly and through the mediator of anticipated acceptance. Self-presentational accuracy predicted daily life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect through the mediator of social support. Finally, exploratory analyses underscored the relevance of goals related to authenticity, closeness, privacy, communication, educating others, and safety in self-presentation decisions. Discussion highlights the importance of context in identity management decisions among plurisexual women and the impact of these decisions on day-to-day well-being.

The principle that nonowners are excluded from property is central to theories of ownership, and previous findings suggest it could be a core feature of the psychology of ownership. However, we report six experiments on children (N = 480) and adults (N = 211) showing that this principle may not apply for actions that benefit the owner-actions like repairing broken property. In Experiment 1, 3-5-year-olds judged it more acceptable for a nonowner to repair broken property than to move it. Experiments 2 and 3 replicated this with 4-6-year-olds using different question wordings and showed that children also approve of replacing broken property. Experiment 4 showed these findings replicate regardless of whether the nonowner and owner are acquainted.
