    Abstract Introduction: Despite the negative effects of stigma in individuals with skin conditions, interventions to address its effects are rare. This might be in part due to a continued lack of understanding as to how individuals respond to stigma.
    Methods: In this study, we employed a step-case analytic method, using traditional regression, moderation, and network analyses, to examine the role of psychological flexibility (PF) with stigmatized experiences, and stigma-related outcomes. We run a cross-sectional study (
    Results: Using network analysis, the most influential or central variables that contributed to stigma were generalized anxiety, perceived stigmatization, and valued actions. In relation to PF, being open to the experience of stigma (as opposed to avoidance), keeping a distance from stigmatized thoughts (as opposed to self-stigmatizing), and bringing attention to value-based committed actions (as opposed to passivity) were all found to contribute to less stigmatized experiences.
    Discussion: The results indicate that two of the three skills of the PF model ("open" and "active") may be important targets for interventions targeting stigma in people living with skin conditions.

    Abstract To increase Covid-19 vaccine uptake and protect vulnerable people, many countries have introduced a Covid-19 passport in 2021, allowing vaccinated individuals to access indoor facilities more freely and travel to foreign countries. However, the passport has had unintended consequences as it discriminates against those who do not want to get vaccinated for medical, religious, or political reasons, or those who do not have access to vaccines.

    Abstract Background: The Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ) is the most widely used measure to assess health-related quality of life in food allergy. However, its length can lead to a series of disadvantages, such as reduced or incomplete participation and boredom and disengagement, affecting data quality, reliability, and validity.
    Objective: We shortened the well-known FAQLQ for adults and propose the FAQLQ-12.
    Methods: We applied reference-standard statistical analyses, mixing classic test theory and item response theory to identify relevant items for the new short form and confirm its structure fit and reliability. More specifically, we employed discrimination, difficulty, and information levels (item response theory), confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson's correlations, and reliability analysis (McDonald ω and Cronbach α).
    Results: We chose items with the highest discrimination values to compose the shortened FAQLQ because they were among the ones with the best difficulty levels and the highest amount of individual information. We retained three items per factor because this number allowed for acceptable reliability levels, resulting in 12 items. The FAQLQ-12 presented a better model fit compared with the complete version. The correlation patterns and reliability levels were similar for both the 29 and 12 versions.
    Conclusions: Although the full version of the FAQLQ remains a reference standard to assess food allergy quality of life, the FAQLQ-12 is introduced as a powerful and beneficial alternative. It can help participants, researchers, and clinicians in specific settings, such as dealing with time and budget limitations, and provides high-quality and reliable responses.

    Abstract The rapid expansion of high-speed internet has led to the emergence of new digital jobs, such as digital influencers, fitness models, and adult models who share content on subscription-based social media platforms. Across two experiments involving 1,002 participants, we combined theories from both social psychology and information systems to investigate perceptions of digital jobs compared to matched established jobs, and predictors of attitudes toward digital jobs (e.g., symbolic threat, contact, perceived usefulness). We found that individuals in digital professions were perceived as less favorably and as less hard-working than those in matched established jobs. Digital jobs were also regarded as more threatening to societal values and less useful. The relation between job type and attitudes toward these jobs was partially mediated by contact with people working in these jobs, perceived usefulness, perception of hard-working, and symbolic threat. These effects were consistent across openness to new experiences, attitudes toward digitalization, political orientation, and age. Among the nine jobs examined, lecturers were perceived as the most favorable, while adult models were viewed least favorably. Overall, our findings demonstrate that integrating theories from social psychology and information systems can enhance our understanding of how attitudes are formed.

    Abstract Background: Food allergy (FA) has been shown to have an adverse impact on food allergy quality of life (FAQL). To more fully understand this impact, correlates and predictors of FAQL must be reliably measured. Coping is one such factor. In the present study (n = 200), we sought to adapt the widely used Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) Inventory and its 15 distinct strategies to food allergy, named FA-COPE Inventory. More specifically, we propose a long (60-item) and short (30-item) version of the measure.
    Methods: To examine the robustness of the newly adapted FA-COPE Inventory, we tested whether the 15-factor structure of the adapted version would present good psychometrical properties, using gold standard psychometric techniques. We used Confirmatory Factor Analysis to assess model fit, McDonald's omega, and inter-item correlations to assess reliability, and Pearson's correlation to assess convergent validity with a generic coping measure and satisfaction with FA life.
    Results: Our results showed a good model fit (eg, CFI and TLI ≥ .94) for the 15-factor structure of the measure's long and short version. These factors also presented reliability levels aligned with the coping literature. Finally, the majority of the FA-COPE Inventory factors (eg, acceptance) were significantly associated with the generic coping measure and satisfaction with FA life.
    Conclusion: Both the long and short adapted FA-COPE Inventory showed a good fit to food allergy issues. These measures can help facilitate the identification of the most commonly used strategies to deal with FA. Their use can lead to a more in-depth understanding of the impact of the coping strategies and how they can help improve the quality of life of those impacted by the disease.

    Abstract Honor is an important psychological construct that refers to one's worth in one's own eyes and in the eyes of others. A person's honor is dependent on implicit personal meaning, which leads the individual to behave in a way worthy of being valued and socially appreciated. In the present research, we aimed to provide psychometric evidence for the short version of the Honor Scale in the Romanian context. For that, one study was performed (N = 444). The four-dimensional structure of the measure was supported through Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and showed good reliability estimates. The measure also presented full factorial invariance across participants' gender, showing that these groups answer to the measure in a similar way and can be further compared in research. Finally, results indicated significant associations between the Honor Scale factors with human values and age. In sum, our findings suggest that the short version of the Honor Scale is psychometrically adequate to use in Romania.

  8. Article: The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Food Allergy (PANAS-FA): Adaptation and psychometric properties.

    Abstract Background: Food allergy (FA) is a worldwide concern, increasing up to 50% in the past decade, with a 700% rise in hospitalizations because of anaphylaxis. Individuals diagnosed with FA must have the emotional resources to cope with the many challenges that arise from self-management tasks and the social limitations that FA presents. Therefore, it is clear that close consideration of heightened emotions due to FA is needed.
    Method: The present research aimed to adapt the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), one of the most used questionnaires available to measure mood or emotion worldwide, for a population of individuals with FA. We performed one study (
    Results: The PANAS-FA presented a good model fit and strong item parameters. We removed 4 items from each factor for the shorter version, which presented difficulty levels slightly higher than recommended. The short PANAS-FA presented comparable results to the longer version. The measure also showed significant associations with general anxiety and need for affect, which assesses to what extent an individual likes to engage in emotion-inducing situations. Through a mediational model, negative affect significantly influenced general anxiety, partially influenced by the extent individuals avoid emotional situations.
    Conclusion: We are confident that the adaptation of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule focused on food allergy (PANAS-FA) provides a novel opportunity to understand the intrinsic associations between emotions and living with FA. Identifying which FA emotions are related to these factors may be vital for future interventions, providing an environment that focuses or promotes these emotions to enhance individual well-being.

    Abstract Background: Food allergy (FA) affects up to 10% of young children and 2% to 3% of adults, and appears to be increasing in prevalence across the world. The adverse and growing impact of FAs warrants that closer attention is needed to the psychological mechanisms underlying FA and quality of life, to provide benefits for both clinicians and patients. One of these psychological mechanisms, frequently present in individuals struggling with FA, is anxiety.
    Objective: To provide an FA-specific measure to properly assess the impact of anxiety, the present research proposed the novel Food Allergy Anxiety Scale in an adult population.
    Methods: Two studies were conducted (n = 412), and the psychometric properties of the measure were extensively assessed through several robust statistical techniques (eg, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and item response theory).
    Results: Our findings indicated a reliable 1-factor structure, significantly associated with other constructs such as general anxiety, depression, and FA quality of life.
    Conclusions: We are confident that the Food Allergy Anxiety Scale is a powerful tool to assess this specific role of FA within anxiety, which might lead to a better comprehension on how this psychological distress works, and consequently, the development of better strategies to reduce its impact.

    Abstract It is often assumed that incongruence between individuals' values and those of their country is distressing, but the evidence has been mixed. Across 29 countries, the present research investigated whether well-being is higher if people's values match with those of people living in the same country or region. Using representative samples, we find that person-country and person-region value congruence predict six well-being measures (e.g., emotional well-being, relationship support; N = 54,673). Crucially, however, value type moderates whether person-country fit is positively or negatively associated with well-being. People who value self-direction, stimulation, and hedonism more and live in countries and regions where people on average share these values report lower well-being. In contrast, people who value achievement, power, and security more and live in countries and regions where people on average share these values, report higher well-being. Additionally, we find that people who moderately value stimulation report the highest well-being.
