“…For example, Spada, Giustina, Rolandi, Fernie, and Caselli ( 2015 ) examined metacognitive beliefs toward gambling and showed that PGs consider gambling as a useful strategy to improve cognitive-emotional state. Finally, a very recent study indicated that specific metacognition beliefs about gambling were significantly associated with GD severity among a sample of PGs ( Caselli et al., 2018 ).…”

IntroductionNowadays, gambling disorder (GD) is a worldwide health issue and there is a growing need to both improve our understanding of this disorder and to tailor specific interventions for its treatment. Moreover, theoretical models and preliminary empirical results suggest that difficulty in regulating emotional states might be involved in GD. However, literature describing clinical and theoretical aspects of emotional dysregulation among pathological gamblers (PGs) shows a lack of systematic description.ObjectivesWe aimed to provide, within an exhaustive theoretical framework of emotion regulation (ER) processing, empirical evidence supporting a conceptual model of GD as an ER affliction.MethodsWe commented on empirical evidence on the relationship between ER and GD in the light of two main conceptual models of emotion (dys)regulation.ResultsThe results suggest there are actual deficits of ER processing among PGs, manifesting themselves through different ways and in different steps of the ER timeline. In addition, dysregulation of positive emotions may play a central role in GD. From a clinical point of view, we pointed out that deficits in ER might be multiple in nature and an assessment for GD should be accurate to identify the specific components accounting for the development and maintenance of the disorder. It should also orientate the clinician in selecting therapeutic objectives.ConclusionsThe nature of emotional states that are difficult to regulate might account for the GD severity and indicate the subtype of PGs the patient belongs to. Treatment programs should be tailored on the specificity of PGs.

“…To design an intervention program for social media addiction, we referred to previous studies on Internet addiction interventions. Research has shown that metacognitive beliefs about one's thinking and self-regulation influence problematic Internet use and social media addiction (Casale, Rugai, & Fioravanti, 2018;Caselli et al, 2018;Spada, Langston, Nikcêvić, & Moneta, 2008). According to the cognitive-behavioral model, cognitive distortions such as the ruminative cognitive style are the primary cause of excessive Internet use (Davis, 2001).…”

This research examined the relations of social media addiction to college students' mental health and academic performance, investigated the role of self-esteem as a mediator for the relations, and further tested the effectiveness of an intervention in reducing social media addiction and its potential adverse outcomes. In Study 1, we used a survey method with a sample of college students (N = 232) and found that social media addiction was negatively associated with the students' mental health and academic performance and that the relation between social media addiction and mental health was mediated by self-esteem. In Study 2, we developed and tested a two-stage self-help intervention program. We recruited a sample of college students (N = 38) who met criteria for social media addiction to receive the intervention. Results showed that the intervention was effective in reducing the students’ social media addiction and improving their mental health and academic efficiency. The current studies yielded original findings that contribute to the empirical database on social media addiction and that have important theoretical and practical implications.

“…The reliability of the CMS was determined using the ICC and Cronbach's alpha coefficient that showed acceptable testretest reliability. It is worth noting this because numerous metacognition studies have not examined test-retest reliability (Bacow et al, 2009;Larøi et al, 2009;Hsu, 2010;Cook et al, 2014;Martin et al, 2014;Bailey and Wells, 2015;Fernie et al, 2015;Kollmann et al, 2016;Kolubinski et al, 2017;Alma et al, 2018;Caselli et al, 2018;Lloyd et al, 2018). In addition, the present findings are consistent with some previous studies (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2004;Wilson et al, 2011;Lachat Shakeshaft et al, 2020) with respect to the stability of metacognition over the period of time, although the correlation was weak (r = 0.24-0.34) (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2004) or unstable for some domains (r = 0.24-0.90) (Wilson et al, 2011) of the metacognitive questionnaire when comparing with our test-retest (r = 0.70-0.81).…”

Development of Metacognition in Adolescence: The Congruency-Based Metacognition Scale

et al. 2021

IntroductionPrevious studies on metacognitive ability were explored using self-report questionnaires that are difficult to adequately measure and evaluate when the capacity for self-reference is undeveloped. This study aimed to validate the Congruency-based Metacognition Scale (CMS) to measure metacognition and the feeling of confidence abilities and to investigate the development of metacognition during adolescence.MethodsThe CMS was administered to 633 child–parent pairs in Japan (child, mean age = 16.0 years, 46.0% female; parent, mean age = 48.3 years, 94.9% mother). The CMS metacognition score was assessed based on congruency scores between the self-report of the child from a third-person perspective (3PP) and the parent’s report from the first-person perspective (1PP). The CMS self-judgment accuracy score was assessed by the congruency scores between the children’s self-report from the 1PP and 3PP. For both measures, the more distant the 3PP on the self-report was from the 1PP on the parent’s report and child self-report means low ability. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to examine construct validity and then a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used. Criterion validity was examined by calculating Pearson’s correlation coefficients with scores on the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS) and Autism Quotient (AQ). We used intraclass correlation and Cronbach’s alpha to examine the test–retest and internal consistency reliability.ResultsBased on the results of the EFA and CFA, we adopted one factor structure with five items. The CMS metacognition and CMS self-judgment accuracy showed evidence criterion validity, exhibiting significant correlations with the BCIS self-reflectiveness (r = 0.16) and self-certainty scores (r = 0.17), respectively. Regarding to the AQ, only the CMS metacognition score had significant correlations with the social skills (r = 0.22) and total scale score (r = 0.20). The test–retest reliability showed adequate (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.70–0.81 and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient 0.63–0.59). Adolescents were found to have significantly lower metacognitive ability compared to young adults.ConclusionCMS could be a valid and reliable measure to examine metacognitive abilities for adolescents.
