How moms and dads view each other as co-parents affects kids: Poor outcomes when dads unhappy with co-parenting relationshipHow mothers and fathers see each other as co-parents of their children plays a key role in how well-adjusted their kids become, a new study suggests.

However, child outcomes diverged when couples saw their co-parenting relationship as moderately good, ... Ohio State University - 3/15/2023On pandemic’s third anniversary, loneliness and isolation are down, but still high, among older adultsAfter three years of pandemic living, loneliness, isolation and lack of social contact have finally started to decline among older adults, a new poll shows. But one in three people between the ages of 50 and 80 still say they sometimes or often experienced these feelings, or sometimes go a week or longer without social contact with someone from outside their home. That’s down from about half of older adults in June 2020. The percentages who currently feel lonely, isolated or lacking ... Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan - 3/13/2023'All work, no independent play' cause of children's declining mental healthAnxiety and depression among school-aged children and teens in the United States are at an all-time high. Sadly, in 2021, child and adolescent mental health was declared a national emergency. Although a variety of causes are thought to contribute to this decline in mental health, a new study by three prominent researchers specializing in child development points to independent "child's play." Findings, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, suggest that the rise in mental health disorders ... Florida Atlantic University - 3/9/2023MIND and Mediterranean diets associated with fewer Alzheimer's plaques and tanglesPeople who eat diets rich in green leafy vegetables as well as other vegetables, fruits, whole grains, olive oil, beans, nuts and fish may have fewer amyloid plaques and tau tangles in their brain -- signs of Alzheimer's disease -- than people who do not consume such diets, according to a study published in the March 8, 2023, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

A new study, the first of its kind, has shown that when it comes to pursuing personal goals and protecting your mental wellbeing it pays to understand your underlying motivesA new Edith Cowan University (ECU) study, the first of its kind, has shown that when it comes to pursuing personal goals and protecting your mental wellbeing it pays to understand your underlying motives. ECU researchers Bridget Robson and Professor Joanne Dickson surveyed 210 participants to investigate the relationship between underlying goal motives, emotion regulation, and anxiety and depression. The research examined two types of motives that underpin personal goal pursuit ... Edith Cowan University - 3/6/2023COVID-19 pandemic increased rates and severity of depression, whether people were infected or notThe COVID-19 pandemic impacted just about every part of people’s lives. Quarantining, social distancing, societal disruptions and an ever-shifting, uncertain landscape of rules and restrictions and variants created stress and isolation that impacted the mental health of millions of Americans.

University of Toronto - 3/1/2023Regular physical activity can improve adolescents’ mental health and help with behavioural difficulties, research suggestsRegular physical activity can improve adolescents' mental health and help with behavioural difficulties, research suggests. Engaging in regular moderate to vigorous physical activity at age 11 was associated with better mental health between the ages of 11 and 13, the study found. Physical activity was also associated with reduced hyperactivity and behavioural problems, such as loss of temper, fighting with other children, lying, and stealing, in young people. University of Edinburgh - 3/1/2023Lending a paw for defense veterans: 'Clear evidence' that assistance dogs help improve mental healthA new Australian study focused on defence veterans' mental health has found strong evidence that assistance dogs used in conjunction with traditional therapies provide the most effective treatment outcomes. Almost 90 per cent of veterans reported improvements in their post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety 12 months after being matched to an assistance dog, according to researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA), University of Adelaide, and Military and ... University of South Australia - 3/1/2023Being flexible is key to protecting mental wellbeing in people with chronic painChronic pain impacts around 20 per cent of the population. Along with the medical and physical effects it can have far-reaching consequences for employment, lifestyle and mental health. A new Edith Cowan University (ECU) study has found that for people living with chronic pain it's not necessarily how intense their pain is, but the extent to which it interferes with their daily life that can pose the biggest threat to their mental health. ECU researchers Tara Swindells and Professor ... Edith Cowan University - 2/27/2023Excessive screen time linked to suicidal behaviors in US preteens: Watching videos, playing video games, texting, and video chatting tied to suicidal behaviorsAmidst the worsening teen mental health crisis and new legislation proposing to ban children under 16 from using social media, a new study finds that greater screen time among children 9-11 is associated with a higher risk of developing suicidal behaviors two years later. The study, published in Preventive Medicine, finds that each additional hour of screen time is associated with a 9% higher risk of reporting suicidal behavior two years later. In particular, each extra hour spent watching ...

American Academy of Neurology - 2/20/2023Psychological stress impedes performance, even for Olympic athletesThe 2020 Tokyo Olympics were unique not just for taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic but for being the first athletic event to measure and broadcast competitors' heart rates as world-class archers took a shot at Olympic gold. Analysis of these biometric data by Yunfeng Lu (Nanjing University) and Songfa Zhong (National University of Singapore, New York University Abu Dhabi) in Psychological Science provides empirical support for something sports fans have long suspected: When ...
