Engagement in productive activities and suicidal ideation among female older adults in South Korea
Ji-Young Choi
Summary: Despite the rapid increase in South Korea's older population, their quality of life remains low with a high suicide rate. This study examined how participation in productive activities affects suicidal ideation among older South Korean women using data from 2012 to 2020. The findings show that participating in productive activities can reduce the likelihood of experiencing suicidal ideation, especially in daily life-related activities. Additionally, the more productive activities one engages in, the lower the likelihood of suicidal ideation. Health status had a greater impact on suicidal ideation compared to economic status. This study contributes to academia and has policy implications for public health.

Students' visual attention during teacher's talk as a predictor of mathematical achievement: a cautionary tale
Danyal Farsani, Greg Oates
Summary: This study was conducted in a primary school in Santiago, Chile, where 18 randomly selected first-grade students wore video cameras during their math lessons. Analysis of the recordings show that high and low achieving students differed in their visual attention during math lessons, especially when the teacher used gestures. Furthermore, high and low achieving students engaged visually with the teacher's instructional information in different ways and at different times. These findings indicate the importance of early identification and intervention for lower achievers in math.

Wisdom-related attitudes in psychosomatic patients and in a convenience sample
Anne Meier-Credner, Michael Linden, Beate Muschalla
Summary: This study examines the difference in wisdom-related attitudes between the general population and patients with mental disorders. The results show that mental disorder patients are more likely to perceive an unfair situation and identify with the victim. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of agreement with wisdom-related attitudes, except for the idea of changing perspectives. This suggests that wisdom may be independent of psychopathology.

Esra Hassan, Ben Hicks, Naji Tabet, Nicolas Farina
Summary: Dementia-related stigma negatively affects the well-being of people living with dementia, and it is crucial to address these attitudes among adolescents who will become future caregivers and healthcare workers. This study aimed to identify predictors of dementia attitudes in adolescents and found that being female, having more contact with dementia, and higher levels of empathy were associated with more positive dementia attitudes. Empathy was found to play a mediating role between contact and dementia attitudes. Interventions should focus on promoting empathetic responses to shape dementia attitudes.

How are bodily states experienced, differentiated and translated into symptoms? A qualitative study
Laura Carter, Jane Ogden
Summary: This research shows that symptoms are influenced by various psychological factors. However, the broader context of bodily states, including emotions, sensations, and pre-symptoms, is not well understood. Additionally, little is known about how bodily states are experienced and translated into symptoms. Through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, this study explores how individuals experience, describe, and understand their bodily states, as well as how these states transition into symptoms. The findings reveal four main themes: the subjective experience of bodily states, attention to bodily states, the process of becoming symptoms, and the communication of symptoms. A transcending theme, a series of thresholds, demonstrates how bodily states surpass a threshold to become a symptom and how individual differences play a role in this transition.

Changes in mental health symptoms from April (COVID-19 outbreak) to December 2020 in Norway: A two-wave study
Kristen Hagen, Stian Solem, Anne Kristin Stavrum, Jarle Eid, Gerd Kvale, Oddrun Samdal, Stephanie Le Hellard
Summary: The study aimed to examine changes in mental health symptoms in Norway from April to December 2020. A total of 6017 participants completed surveys at both time points, measuring symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results showed a slight increase in anxiety and depression, with larger increases observed in the general population compared to those with pre-existing mental health issues. Risk factors included baseline symptom levels, female gender, student status, pre-existing mental health problems, increased tobacco use, job loss, and lack of trust in the government. The longitudinal findings supported previous research, suggesting that the number of risk factors experienced is associated with symptom severity. Overall, mental health symptoms remained relatively stable during this period, with a slight increase in subclinical symptoms observed in April. The study received ethical approval from the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research (REK Nord, 123,324).

The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Many statements made clear that these parents are undergoing a distinctive development, and psychological support should help parents regulate the shock, process traumatic experiences and integrate the frightening life event into parenthood development.
