    Abstract Advancements in ambulatory biobehavioral technologies, for example, using portable psychophysiology, geolocation, facial, and speech analysis, have shown promise for a wide variety of applications. Their applications to biomedical sciences have led to dramatic improvements in some domains of assessment and practice. As yet, these technologies have not advanced beyond "proof of concept" for improving psychological assessment. More important, much of the current work in this space is being done outside of psychological science, and in many cases, outside of science altogether. This article introduces the special section on advancing biobehavioral technologies for psychological science. We provide a background on the potential role ambulatory biobehavioral technologies can play in improving feasibility, tolerability, reliability, and "individual-level" predictive accuracy for a broad range of psychological phenomena. We then provide a brief overview of the ambulatory biobehavioral literature, highlighting particular challenges and potential solutions for evaluating psychometrics of these measures. This special section is meant to stimulate interest and resources from the psychological assessment community to lend their unique talents and skills to advance this multidisciplinary endeavor.

    Abstract Blunted affect is associated with severe mental illness, particularly schizophrenia. Mechanisms of blunted affect are poorly understood, potentially due to a lack of phenomenological clarity. Here, we examine clinician rated blunted affect and computerized facial metrics derived from ambulatory video assessment using machine learning. With high predictive accuracy (80-82%), we found that head orientation, eye movement, and facets of mouth movement were associated with clinical ratings of blunted affect. Features denoting larger muscle movements were associated with social cognition (R

    Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is indicated for select class III obesity patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to reduce obesity-related complications. This study assessed the effect of BS on TKA revision rates compared to the general population and class III obesity patients without a history of BS.
    Methods: A national database identified patients who had primary TKA. They were divided into two groups: those with BS prior to TKA and those without. Patients without BS formed two control groups, a matched general population, and a matched class III obese cohort. The BS group was matched with controls based on age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), gender, and diabetes mellitus. Revision rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and hazard ratios (HR), calculated using Cox proportional hazard modeling.
    Results: 14,292 BS patients were compared to 57,006 matched general population controls, and 19,504 BS patients were compared to 77,846 matched class III obesity control patients. BS patients had a higher risk of 5-year all-cause revision (HR: 1.13; P = 0.014) and revision due to periprosthetic fracture (HR: 1.39; P < 0.001) compared to the general population. Compared to class III obesity controls, BS patients had a lower risk of 5-year revision due to prosthetic joint infection (HR: 0.77; P = 0.001), with no difference in all-cause revision (P = 0.362).
    Conclusion: BS does not reduce all-cause TKA revision risk compared to the general or matched class III obesity population. However, it lowers the risk of revision due to prosthetic joint infection when compared to patients with class III obesity.

    Abstract Technological advances in the assessment and understanding of speech and language within the domains of automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine learning present a remarkable opportunity for psychologists to learn more about human thought and communication, evaluate a variety of clinical conditions, and predict cognitive and psychological states. These innovations can be leveraged to automate traditionally time-intensive assessment tasks (e.g., educational assessment), provide psychological information and care (e.g., chatbots), and when delivered remotely (e.g., by mobile phone or wearable sensors) promise underserved communities greater access to health care. Indeed, the automatic analysis of speech provides a wealth of information that can be used for patient care in a wide range of settings (e.g., mHealth applications) and for diverse purposes (e.g., behavioral and clinical research, medical tools that are implemented into practice) and patient types (e.g., numerous psychological disorders and in psychiatry and neurology). However, automation of speech analysis is a complex task that requires the integration of several different technologies within a large distributed process with numerous stakeholders. Many organizations have raised awareness about the need for robust systems for ensuring transparency, oversight, and regulation of technologies utilizing artificial intelligence. Since there is limited knowledge about the ethical and legal implications of these applications in psychological science, we provide a balanced view of both the optimism that is widely published on and also the challenges and risks of use, including discrimination and exacerbation of structural inequalities.

    Abstract Schizotypy is associated with a broad range of motivational and social dysfunctions. However, there is reason to suspect that negative schizotypy may limit social dysfunction in specific contexts that typically increase isolation and loneliness. We analyzed whether positive, negative and disorganized facets of schizotypy would mitigate detrimental reactions to stress in the context of a global stressor (the COVID-19 pandemic) that has widely necessitated social and physical isolation. Responses to two measures of schizotypy were compared to ecological momentary assessments of social dysfunction for 85 undergraduates using multilevel modelling techniques. Negative schizotypy moderated the relation between momentary stress and loss of social support, such that negative schizotypy limited the magnitude of social dysfunction stemming from increases in momentary stress. This pattern was not seen for other facets of schizotypy. Implications for the treatment and measurement of schizotypy symptoms are discussed.

    Abstract Purpose: The nonbinary and genderqueer (NBGQ) youth population is growing, yet scant research focuses on this distinct group. We aim to gain a deeper understanding of desired gender-affirming care and interventions pursued by NBGQ youth.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review of NBGQ patients seen at the University of California, San Francisco Child and Adolescent Gender Center from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2020, was performed. Demographic information, desired gender-affirming care, and gender-affirming interventions pursued at initial and most recent visits were collected.
    Results: Initial visit charts of 116 NBGQ youth who attended more than one clinic visit were reviewed. In total, 48 unique genders were documented; gender evolved over time for some youth, as did desired gender-affirming care. At the most recent visit, 15 youth (12.9%) had a binary gender, and 101 youth (87.1%) had an NBGQ gender. At the initial visit, 56 youth (48.3%) were interested in gender-affirming hormone therapy, compared with 75 youth (65.6%) at the most recent visit. In addition, 21 (18.1%) and 49 (42.2%) youth were interested in surgery at the initial and most recent visits, respectively. In general, interest in interventions was higher than pursuit of interventions.
    Conclusion: There is vast diversity of gender and differences in desired gender-affirming care within the NBGQ youth population. Desires for gender-affirming care within the cohort changed over time, and not all those who expressed a desire for an intervention received it. The reasons are likely multifactorial, highlighting the need for expectation-free and patient-specific affirming care and research on the NBGQ youth population, while also considering barriers to care.

    Abstract Individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis exhibit altered facial emotion processing (FEP) and poor social functioning. It is unclear whether FEP deficits result from attentional biases, and further, how these abnormalities are linked to symptomatology (e.g., negative symptoms) and highly comorbid disorders that are also tied to abnormal FEP (e.g., depression). In the present study, we employed an eye-tracking paradigm to assess attentional biases and clinical interviews to examine differences between CHR (N = 34) individuals and healthy controls (HC; N = 46), as well as how such biases relate to symptoms and functioning in CHR individuals. Although no CHR-HC differences emerged in attentional biases, within the CHR group, symptoms and functioning were related to biases. Depressive symptoms were related to some free-view attention switching biases (e.g., to and from fearful faces, r = .50). Negative symptoms were related to more slowly disengaging from happy faces (r = .44), spending less time looking at neutral faces (r =  - .42), and more time looking at no face (Avolition, r = .44). In addition, global social functioning was related to processes that overlapped with both depression and negative symptoms, including time looking at no face (r =  - .68) and free-view attention switching with fearful faces (r =  - .40). These findings are consistent with previous research, indicating that negative symptoms play a prominent role in the CHR syndrome, with distinct mechanisms relative to depression. Furthermore, the results suggest that attentional bias indices from eye-tracking paradigms may be predictive of social functioning.
