Reports an error in "Housework, health, and well-being in older adults The role of socioeconomic status" by Jacqueline Rodriguez-Stanley, María Alonso-Ferres, Samuele Zilioli and Richard B. Slatcher (Journal of Family Psychology, 2020[Aug], Vol 34[5], 610-620). In the article (http//dx.doi.org/10 .1037/fam0000630), values are incorrectly reported in columns 1-3 of Table 1 and in the "Eudaimonic well-being," "Physical health," and "Sleep dysfunction" columns of Table 2. Although the significance of the associations and analyses remain unchanged, the corrected table columns are included in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2020-09875-001.) For most adults, household chores are undesirable tasks yet need to be completed regularly. Previous research has identified absolute hours spent on household chores and one's perceived fairness of the housework distribution as predictors of romantic relationship quality and well-being outcomes. Drawing from the Equity Theory, we eing.

This study was designed to test the effect of methamphetamine administration on sexual desire and hypothetical condom-use decisions as measured by the Sexual Delay Discounting Task. Recreational stimulant users (n = 19) participated in this within-subject, placebo-controlled study comparing the effects of 0 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg of oral methamphetamine. Compared to placebo, methamphetamine caused dose-related and time-related increases in a single-item sexual desire rating and some standard stimulant abuse liability ratings, as well as dose-related increases in the Sexual Arousal and Desire Inventory (SADI; a multidimensional scale capturing positive and negative aspects of desire/arousal). However, methamphetamine caused no significant mean differences in likelihood of condom use within the Sexual Delay Discounting Task or the Monetary Discounting Task. SADI scores were negatively correlated with change from placebo in condom use likelihood in the Sexual Delay Discounting Task for some partner conditions (i.e., decreased reported likelihood of condom use in participants who experienced increased desire/arousal and vice versa). These mixed results may be consistent with methamphetamine's role as both a treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and as a drug of abuse associated with increased delay discounting, and they suggest that methamphetamine's effects on discounting may be modulated by the reinforcing properties of what is being discounted. Delay discounting may be an understudied element of risky sexual decision making, particularly among individuals who use methamphetamine.

Despite the immense resilience exhibited by Somali communities in resettlement, the behavioral health needs of these communities require effective and culturally appropriate psychological assessment tools that can be used across service and research sectors. Given this need, we sought to examine the psychometric properties and concurrent validity of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), a transdiagnostic measure of cognitive fusion, in a sample of 233 (M age = 25.35; female = 45%) Somali young adults living in North America. Results using confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the one-factor structure of the CFQ previously found in other diverse populations held in the present sample. The structure and related item loadings were invariant across three key variables gender, age, and location of resettlement in North America. Importantly, cognitive fusion was meaningfully associated with aspects of clinical and psychosocial functioning thought to be highly relevant to this population, including posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms, thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, and experiences of discrimination. Building upon the growing body of evidence supporting the CFQ's strong psychometric properties across cultural groups, researchers, and clinicians should have an added degree of confidence and enthusiasm in utilizing this measure to support immigrant and refugee communities.

An adaptive mind can exploit this association by, for instance, using a potential reward's size to infer the probability of obtaining it. However, a mind can only adapt to and exploit an environmental structure if it is ecologically reliable, that is if it is frequent and recurrent. link2 We develop the competitive risk-reward ecology theory (CET) that establishes how the ecology of competition can make the association of high rewards with low probabilities ubiquitous. This association occurs because of what is known as the ideal free distribution (IFD) principle. The IFD states that competitors in a landscape of resource patches distribute themselves proportionally to the gross total amount of resources in the patches. CET shows how this principle implies a risk-reward structure an inverse relationship between probabilities and payoffs. link3 It also identifies boundary conditions for the risk-reward structure, including heterogeneity of resources, computational limits of competitors, and scarcity of resources. Finally, a set of empirical studies (N = 1,255) demonstrate that people's beliefs map onto properties predicted by CET and change as a function of the environment. In sum, grounding people's inferences in CET demonstrates how the behaviors of a boundedly rational mind can be better predicted once accounts of the mind and the environment are fused.

Partners' emotional responding during couple conflict has long been theorized to play a central role in the occurrence of D/W. The interpersonal process model of D/W behavior suggests that each partner's emotional responses are associated with their own as well as the other partner's behavior in the D/W cycle and that the nature of these associations varies across partners. A prior test of the interpersonal process model provided support for sex- and role-specific associations between vocal emotional expression and demanding and withdrawing behaviors. The current study expands the conceptual frame of the interpersonal process model by incorporating subjective emotional experience. Hypothesized associations between subjective emotional experience, emotional expression, and role-specific demanding and withdrawing behaviors were tested in a sample of 59 couples using an actor-partner interdependence model. Results reveal that spouses experience and express nonsignificantly different levels of negative affect but strongly differ in how the experience and expression of those emotions are related to demanding and withdrawing behaviors. High levels of women's demanding behavior were associated with the combination of experiencing and expressing high levels of negative affect, while high levels of men's withdrawing behavior were associated with experiencing high levels of negative affect but expressing low levels of negative affect. Implications of results for understanding emotional processes in maladaptive cycles and for clinical practice are discussed.

The aim of this project was to review patient outcomes to determine the effectiveness of the VA's CBT-CP treatment. From 2012-2018, 1,331 Veterans initiated individual CBT-CP treatment as part of the training program. Patient outcomes were assessed with measures of patient-reported pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, depression, pain interference, and quality of life (physical, psychological, social, and environmental). Mixed models of the effects of time indicated significant changes across pretreatment, midtreatment, and treatment conclusion on all outcomes. There was a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.78) for pain catastrophizing, and there were medium to large effect sizes (d > 0.60) for worst pain intensity, pain interference, depression, and physical quality of life. Systematic training of therapists and implementation of the VA's CBT-CP protocol yielded significant patient improvements across multiple domains. This offers strong support for the VA's CBT-CP as an effective, safe treatment for Veterans with chronic pain and highlights it as a model to increase the availability of training in standardized, pain-focused, evidence-based, behavioral interventions. The findings suggest that the broad dissemination of such training, including in routine, nonpain specialty settings, would improve patient access to effective, nonpharmacological treatment options in both the public and private sectors.

In contrast, self-reassurance is associated with good mental health, psychological well-being, and beneficial physiological processes. The 22-item Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) is an internationally used self-report questionnaire for measuring manifestation and changes in different types of self-criticism and self-reassurance. It has been shown to be a valid and reliable measure in clinical and nonclinical samples. In the present study, a German translation of the FSCRS and its 3 subscales (hated self, inadequate self, reassured self) was provided, and the factor structure and psychometric properties were examined in 415 participants from 4 different population samples (a) a sample from the general population, (b) a sample of psychiatric residential and outpatients, (c) a clinical sample of residential and outpatients with a primary diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), and (d) a sample of healthy control participants.
