Being more honest but not necessarily more intelligent than others: Generality and explanations for the Muhammed Ali effect

Two questionnaire studies were conducted ({N} = 80 and {N} = 175) ti examine the structure and the social anchoring of the organizing principles of personal and governmental involvement concerning human rights. The results indicated that these organizing principles had, as hypothesized one abstract and one applied dimension. The second study evaluated the correlations between these dimensions and values. Results were consistent with Schwartz's (1992) model predicting both the internal structure of values and their relations with other variables. Amongst other results, self-transcendence values were positively correlated with the abstract involvements and the applied personal involvement, and negatively with the applied governmental involvement. The results concerning the links between different levels of social anchorings, particularly between the value types and variables such as religious affiliation and practice political preferences, and social and political activism were also presented and discussed

Cross-border collaboration, future for young professionals

Background: The international working visit of a Dutch delegation of 45 clinical psychologists (in training) and science-practitioners in September 2022 to their colleagues in Lisbon, Portugal as part of their post academic education program inspired young psychologists to realize a masterclass.Purpose: Exchanging information on specific treatment between the Dutch psychologists and the colleagues from the Portuguese Psychiatric Hospital Júlio de Matos. Method: A digital masterclass on EMDR treatment.Results: A mutual ambition for a long-term cooperation over the borders and exchange of knowledge which provides more uniformity and positive solutions for future challenges.Conclusion: Digital opportunities create positive implications for cooperation between countries which can lead to innovation and creative solutions.<br/

Dispersion-theoretical analysis of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors: Inclusion of time-like data

We update a recent dispersion--theoretical fit to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors by including the existing data in the time--like region. We show that while the time--like data for the proton can be described consistently with the existing world space--like data, this is not the case for the neutron. Another measurement of the process $e^+ e^- \to \bar n n$ is called for. We furthermore sharpen the previous estimate of the separation between the perturbative and the non--perturbative regime, which is characterized by a scale parameter $\Lambda^2 \simeq 10\,$GeV$^2$.Comment: 7 pp, LaTeX, uses epsf, 2 figures in separate file, four data points changed, slight changes in the fits, conclusions unchange

Impact of COVID-19 on patients from from FACT or autism teams

BACKGROUND: Most research focuses on the impact of COVID-19 for the general population. People with mental health problems may suffer even more from its consequences.AIM: Measuring mental health, experiences with outpatient care and government measures of 105 people in mental health care in the Northern Netherlands during the first wave of COVID-19.METHOD: Anonymous, online survey among people in care with autism- or FACT-teams in the Northern Netherlands between July-September 2020.RESULTS: Few participants reported recent COVID-19-related symptoms (n=2); no participant had lab-confirmed COVID-19. Both positive (clear world, tranquility, few stimuli: 28%) and negative experiences (missing face-to-face contact with mental health care professionals: 22%) were reported. Although there was some fluctuation in happiness, the average happiness score did not change due to the first wave. Three-quarters were satisfied with their mental health care. Although in-person contact with mental health care professionals was missed, the continuation of care through (video)calling was appreciated. One third reported an increased or new care need in mental health symptoms or daily functioning. The 'physical' government measures were considered pleasant and doable, but 'social' measures were harder. Newsletters with practical information about the consequences of the measures for personal healthcare were appreciated.CONCLUSION: The results show a nuanced picture of how outpatients experienced the first wave of COVID-19. Continued monitoring is important, as long-term impact of COVID-19 cannot be predicted.</p
