“…Longitudinal research involves the comparison of data collected from the same individuals across multiple time points to identify possible changes in outcomes due to interventions or natural development (van Weel, 2005). Longitudinal research is an improvement on cross-sectional research, especially as measurement frequency increases, and it allows one to examine within-person changes empirically (Donald et al, 2022;Hamaker et al, 2015). For example, longitudinal research shows that people with high self-esteem are more likely than others to improve their levels of social support (Marshall et al, 2014).…”

“…Researchers often attempt to answer this question by collecting data from a large group of participants, to examine the link between processes and outcomes for the group (e.g., via longitudinal or mediational analysis, perhaps as part of a randomized controlled trial), and thenassume that these group level effects apply to each individual in the group (plus or minus some error; (Donald et al, 2022;Masuda et al, 2009). For example, suppose an ACT intervention improves a process of change, such as psychological flexibility for a group of participants, and flexibility correlates with or mediates outcomes.…”

Purpose To develop effective and personalized interventions, it is essential to identify the most critical processes or psychological drivers that impact an individual’s well-being. Some processes may be universally beneficial to well-being across many contexts and people, while others may only be beneficial to certain individuals in specific contexts. Method We conducted three intensive daily diary studies, each with more than 50 within-person measurement occasions, across three data sets (n1 = 44; n2 = 37; n3 = 141). We aimed to investigate individual differences in the strength of within-person associations between three distinct process measures and a variety of outcomes. We utilized a unique idiographic algorithm, known as i-ARIMAX (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average), to determine the strength of the relationship (Beta) between each process and outcome within individuals (“i”). All of the computed betas were then subjected to meta-analyses, with individuals treated as the “study”. Results The results revealed that the process-outcome links varied significantly between individuals, surpassing the homogeneity typically seen in meta-analyses of studies. Although several processes showed group-level effects, no process was found to be universally beneficial when considered individually. For instance, processes involving social behavior, like being assertive, did not demonstrate any group-level links to loneliness but still had significant individual-level effects that varied from positive to negative. Discussion Using i-ARIMAX might help reduce the number of candidate variables for complex within-person analyses. Additionally, the size and pattern of i-ARIMAX betas could prove useful in guiding personalized interventions.

Background. Identifying the most important psychological drivers of well-being for a particular individual is critical to developing personalised interventions. Methods. We utilised three, intensive daily diary studies (within person measurement occasions N >50) across three data sets (n1=44; n2=37; n3=141) to examine within-person associations between clinically-relevant processes and a variety of outcomes. We utilised a novel idiographic algorithm, ”i-ARIMAX,” to calculate the strength of relationship (beta) between every process and every outcome within individuals. We then submitted all betas to meta-analytic methods. Results. All process-outcome links were highly heterogeneous between individuals. Processes that were associated with positive outcomes for some people were often unrelated to outcomes for others or associated with negative outcomes. Conclusion. i-ARIMAX might be used to guide personalised interventions and to reduce the number of candidate variables for complicated within-person analysis.

“…Psychoeducational interventions can be delivered through various formats, including individual or group sessions, workshops, or online resources. These interventions offer a platform for parents to acquire practical strategies, parenting skills, and techniques to promote healthy internet use within the family context [68].…”

Internet addiction poses a significant concern for adolescents, particularly those diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Although empirical research focusing on adolescents with Asperger's syndrome is limited, existing findings reveal several neurocognitive and mental health factors contributing to internet addiction. Impulsivity, attention deficits, social skills deficits, cognitive rigidity, and co-occurring anxiety and depression are among the key aspects identified. Understanding these factors is essential for developing effective interventions. This review discusses neurocognitive and mental health aspects of internet addiction in adolescents with Asperger's syndrome as well as potential interventions targeting these aspects to promote healthy internet use and overall well-being in this unique population.
