The effects of physical activity on adolescent psychological sub-health: chain-mediated effects of self-control and mobile phone addiction
This research examines the link between physical activity (PA) and adolescent psychological sub-health (PSH), emphasizing the intermediary roles of self-control (SC) and mobile phone addiction (MPA). Utilizing the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS), SC Scale (SCS), MPA Tendency Scale (MPATS), and the Multidimensional Subhealth Questionnaire of Adolescents (MSQA), data were gathered from 1,052 adolescents. The findings indicate that (1) PA is negatively associated with both PSH and MPA, yet positively correlates with SC. Additionally, SC is inversely linked to PSH and MPA, whereas MPA is directly associated with PSH. (2) The analysis shows that SC and MPA partially mediate the impact of PA on PSH. (3) Moreover, both factors act as sequential mediators in the relationship between PA and PSH. These results enhance our understanding of the pathways through which physical activity influences adolescent PSH and offer important theoretical and practical perspectives for employing PA to boost adolescent mental health.

Dark Persuasion
A harrowing account of brainwashing's pervasive role in the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries This gripping book
traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture
and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social
media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research
was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the
stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and
religious control. Tracing these developments through many of the
past century's major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when
World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs
for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during
the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In
response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to
study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and
hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates,
university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and
clerics all populate this shattering and dark story-one that hasn't
yet ended.

Response to Time-Out Among Preschoolers with Externalizing Behavior Problems: The Role of Callous-Unemotional Traits
This study examined the role of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in preschoolers with externalizing behavior problems (EBP) and their response to time-out (TO). One hundred ninety preschoolers (76% boys, Mage = 4.92) with at-risk/clinically elevated levels of EBP participated in an 8-week summer treatment program (STP-PreK). Total number of minutes spent daily in TO for intentional aggression (IA) and repeated non-compliance (RNC) were recorded during the initial (T1) and final (T2) phases of the STP-PreK. After accounting for severity of EBP and levels of TO at T1, higher levels of CU traits predicted greater total levels of TO at T2. An interaction also emerged between symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and CU traits in predicting IA. Specifically, greater ODD symptoms predicted fewer number of IA related TO at T2, but only for children with low CU traits. Implications for treatment are discussed.
