Summary: This study examined the validity and reliability of the Negative Context of Reception Scale in Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria survivors. Results showed that the one-factor solution of the scale fit the data well and was largely equivalent across different demographics. Negative context of reception was positively correlated with discrimination, language stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and negatively correlated with optimism and life satisfaction. Adjusting item order may be necessary to reduce intercorrelations.

Summary: This study investigated whether matching and customization of deposit amounts increased the uptake and short-term effectiveness of a deposit contract for physical activity. The results showed that both matching and customization increased the uptake of the deposit contract. However, customization might reduce the effectiveness of the intervention. More research is needed to understand the effectiveness of customizable deposit contracts and the participant characteristics predictive of uptake and effectiveness.

Summary: Research suggests that Mindfulness-and Acceptance-Based Interventions (MABIs) can impact sport performance and performance-relevant factors, but questions remain regarding their effectiveness. This study investigated the effects of Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) interventions on collegiate athletes and found improvements in depressive symptoms, emotion regulation difficulties, self-rated sport performance, mindfulness, and sport enjoyment. The study also highlighted the importance of post-intervention readiness in long-term engagement in mindfulness practice and outcomes.

Summary: This study utilizes Digital Human Modelling (DHM) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to examine the impact of caring for COVID-19-positive patients on nurses' workload and care-quality. The findings show that reducing nurses' biomechanical workload increases mental workload and decreases direct patient care, potentially leading to stress, burnout, and errors.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of virtual heights, dual-tasking, and training on static postural stability. The results showed that higher virtual altitudes and dual-tasking led to increased postural sway, while training improved the stability. Virtual reality could be a potential balance training tool in ergonomic settings.

Summary: This study examined the effects of a personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training (ABC training) on physical activity (PA). The results showed that although the ABC training did not significantly improve PA, it had positive effects on choices and automatic attitudes, suggesting that this intervention still has potential. Further research with intensive training and device-based measures of PA is needed.

Summary: Reflecting societal trends, organizations are seeking to embrace personal distinctiveness and self-expression. Personal identity is complex and dynamic, making it challenging for individuals to have a comprehensive understanding of themselves. This paper introduces a novel method of employee development - creating sudden, transformative realizations or epiphanies - to help organizations navigate this complexity and promote self-transformation.

Summary: The demands of elite sport have the potential to negatively impact athletes' wellbeing. However, not all athletes are affected in the same way. This study used grounded theory methodology to examine the processes of change in high-performance swimmers' wellbeing. The findings illustrate how a dominant performance narrative influences the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity tied to performance. Transitions were identified as critical points where wellbeing is likely to be affected, but proactive coping strategies and appropriate support can help minimize the impact.

Summary: This study explores the interactive effects of sleep patterns, driving tasks, and time-on-task on driving behavior and eye-motion metrics among short-haul truck drivers. The results show that violation of sleep-related legal requirements, insufficient sleep, and unreasonable time-on-task can negatively affect drivers' vigilance and performance. Both driving task and sleep pattern contribute to driver fatigue, and the interaction of time-on-task and sleep pattern exacerbates fatigue. Sleep-deprived drivers exhibit controlled compensatory behavior during the outbound task, and sleepiness is more prevalent during the inbound task due to monotony and low workload.
