“…Such low NFC can hinder the generation of positive and helpful thoughts over time. Moreover, it has been thought that persons low in NFC are less likely to seek and process CURIOSITY AND MENTAL HEALTH 3 information adaptively and thus to develop a sense of heightened psychological well-being across time in part due to chronic discomfort with uncertain, stressful, and ambiguous situations (Iannello, Mottini, Tirelli, Riva, & Antonietti, 2017;Lachlan, Hutter, Gilbert, & Spence, 2021).…”

Introduction: Decreased motivational tendency to seek out, engage in, and enjoy investing in complex cognitive processes in a sustained manner (need for cognition; NFC) may be a predictor and consequence of heightened anxiety and depression symptoms (ADS).However, the majority of investigations on this topic have been cross-sectional, which hinders causal inferences. Methods: The current study thus determined the within-person relations between NFC and ADS by using random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and bivariate dual latent change score (BLCS) approaches to separate between-and within-person effects. RI-CLPM and BLCS also present with advantages of adjusting for regression to the mean, baseline scores, autoregressive and lagged effects, and minimizing measurement error. Community-dwelling adults (n = 6750) completed the Mental Health Inventory-5 and trait-level NFC scales approximately every one year across 10 years. Results: RI-CLPM showed that within persons, lower level of NFC predicted higher future level of ADS, and vice versa (d = -0.852 to -0.498). Likewise, BLCS demonstrated that within persons, smaller change in NFC forecasted larger subsequent increase in ADS, and conversely (d = -0.631 to -0.519). Findings remained after adjusting for socio-demographic covariates. Conclusion: Consistent with theories, findings suggested that the within-person level-to-future level and change-to-future change relations among NFC and ADS were bi-directional and negative, with moderate-to-large effect sizes. Targeting NFC may treat or prevent the emergence of depression and anxiety disorders. Such efforts may include augmenting or personalizing evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapeutic strategies for individuals with or at-risk for heightened ADS.

“…The articles selected for analysis were heterogenous in terms of the methodologies they employed (see Table 1). While there is no clear predominant approach, there are more works of a quantitative character (Bateman and Edwards 2002;Soetanto et al 2017;Cvetković et al 2018;Rohli et al 2018;Augustine et al 2019;Oliveira et al 2020;Wei et al 2020;Jayasekara et al 2021;Khan et al 2021;Lachlan et al 2021) compared with those taking a qualitative approach (Cupples 2007;Hamilton and Halvorson 2007;Dhungel and Ojha 2012;Tyler and Fairbrother 2018;Hou and Wu 2020;Walker et al 2020;De Silva 2021;Dema Moreno et al 2022) or those employing a mixed methodology (Bradshaw 2001;Alam and Collins 2010;Silver and Andrey 2014;Whittaker et al 2016;Reyes and Lu 2017;Kang et al 2021;Oktari et al 2021).…”

“…With respect to the data collection techniques used by the articles taking a quantitative approach, the first point of note is that half of them have a sufficiently large probabilistic sample to make them statistically representative of the population as a whole (Bateman and Edwards 2002;Cvetković et al 2018;Augustine et al 2019;Wei et al 2020;Khan et al (1970,1985,1991,1997,1998 2021). The other half do not meet the criteria to be considered representative, as they use non-probability sampling (Soetanto et al 2017;Rohli et al 2018;Jayasekara et al 2021;Lachlan et al 2021;Oliveira et al 2020). Furthermore, two of the studies do not provide methodological information about the composition of the sample in terms of sex/gender, despite them analysing these variables in the results (Jayasekara et al 2021;Lachlan et al 2021).…”

How do women face the emergency following a disaster? A PRISMA 2020 systematic review

et al. 2022

The aim of the study is to conduct a systematic analysis of scientific articles from a social sciences perspective that focus on the role of women as active subjects during an emergency, particularly in terms of evacuation actions in the aftermath of disasters of natural origin. The methology used in the present literature review was designed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines. The databases used were Web of Science and SCOPUS. This systematic review comprises the 25 articles which met our selection criteria out of the 63,852 studies initially found in the search. Although the progressive incorporation of a gender perspective can be seen in the academic study of disasters within the field of social sciences, the scientific production, especially with reference to the emergency phase, remains scant. The current literature reveals the importance of taking into account the knowledge women have, as well as how they behave following a disaster of natural origin. The results of the analysis carried out demonstrate that in making visible how gender roles operate during the early response period in an emergency, especially in relation to the role played by women as active subjects, the traditional notion of rescue is extended. On the basis of this analysis, recommendations are made which can facilitate an approach to disaster risk management that guarantees gender equality in an emergency.

Thinking through situations: The mediating role of rumination in the relationship between need for cognition and aggression

Aggressive Behavior

Need for cognition (NFC)—a stable personality trait associated with the enjoyment of thinking—has been shown to influence myriad social situations; however, no research has tested the direct and indirect effects of NFC on aggression. We predicted that NFC would negatively correlate with aggression, which would be mediated by rumination. Participants (N = 216 US adults) completed measures assessing NFC, aggression, and rumination. In line with our hypotheses, results showed that NFC was negatively correlated with aggression, and both anger rumination and more general rumination mediated this relationship. Future research and conclusions are discussed.
