“…McAdams and Bryant [47] have seen a strong positive relationship between an individual's belonging with others around him and increased happiness and psychological well-being. Likewise, lack of belonging, social bonding, and an explicit feeling of being left out contribute to increased feelings of anxiety [48] and other related psychological outcomes, such as depression, social anxiety and loneliness, that become reduced upon the development of a sense of belonging among college students [49]. In addition, it was found that school belongingness is a robust negative predictor of depression among adolescents [50].…”

The current study presents the validation process of a measure of institutional identity for university students. The research is composed of two studies. Study I consisted of the generation of an item pool based on the literature review, semi-structured interviews, and expert opinion, which were administered to a convenient sample of university students (n = 707; 300 males and 407 females) in Pakistan. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a two-factor structure with 20 items, and the factors were named commitment (α = 0.84) and crisis (α = 0.74). The two-factor solution was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis, which revealed an excellent model fit with the two-factor structure. Study II reports on the convergent and divergent validity of the scale which was carried out on an independent sample (n = 120). Results provided evidence of convergent validity as depression correlated negatively with the commitment subscale and positively with the crisis subscale. Divergent validity was ensured by a non-significant correlation between the subscales of the newly developed scale and a measure of religious belief. Moreover, the implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

“…Studies of the self‐regulation of emotion suggest that handholding should increase activation in the dorsolateral and/or ventromedial prefrontal cortices (Drabant et al, 2009; Ochsner et al, 2002). Yet, analyses of data on a large handholding sample confirms that neither the dorsolateral nor the ventromedial prefrontal cortices mediate the effects of handholding on anticipatory anxiety (Beckes et al, 2020).…”

Mechanisms supporting the social regulation of neural threat responding with marital partners: A test of the opioid hypothesis

Positive social contact predicts better health, but the mechanisms for this association remain debated. One way to explore this link is through the social regulation of emotion, particularly anticipatory anxiety. Previous research finds less neural threat response during partner handholding than when people are alone or stranger handholding. Various mechanistic accounts have been forwarded, including the hypothesis that this effect is mediated by endogenous opioid activity. This experiment critically tested the opioid hypothesis in 60 married participants and their partners. The study used a naltrexone opioid blockade in a double‐blind placebo control with functional magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether endogenous opioids were necessary for handholding effects. Regulatory effects of supportive handholding manifested in threat network regions during opioid blockade, but not with placebo. Despite a surprising lack of effect in the placebo group, the overall study findings provide initial evidence that endogenous opioids may not be necessary for the social regulation of neural threat responding.
