O2.2. CHILDHOOD ADVERSITIES AND PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS: THE POTENTIAL MEDIATING OR MODERATING ROLE OF NEUROCOGNITION AND SOCIAL COGNITION

Based on the social cognition theory, this study explores how the median value of i-deals group influences team innovation through collective thriving, and the moderating role of chaxu climate in it. Through the empirical analysis of 367 questionnaires (70 supervisors’ questionnaires and 297 employees’ questionnaires) from 70 teams, it is proved that collective thriving has an mediating effect between team i-deals and team innovation, while chaxu climate positively regulates the positive impact of collective thriving on team innovation, that is, the higher the chaxu climate, the stronger the positive impact of collective thriving on team innovation.

Moderating Role

IntroductionIt has been observed that children with auditory hallucinations (AH) may develop secondary delusional ideation, which is thought to increase the risk of need for care and patient status. Little is known about the cognitive vulnerabilities mediating delusion formation in children experiencing perceptual anomalies like AH. The ability to correctly interpret another person's intentions or emotions, referred to as mentalizing ability or ‘theory of mind’ (ToM), is shown to be impaired in children with psychotic symptoms and to be associated with delusional ideation in individuals at risk. A direct link between mentalizing ability and delusions is suggested by their presentation as alterations in social inference.ObjectiveTo examine the cognitive vulnerabilities mediating delusion formation in children presenting with AH.MethodIn a sample of 259 12- and 13-year-old children, AH, delusional experiences (’mind reading’,’paranoid ideas’ and’receiving media messages’) and theory of mind (ToM) were assessed, in order to examine the hypothesized moderating role of ToM in delusion formation.ResultsThe risk of delusion formation was significantly higher in AH children with lower ToM skills (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.3–6.4, P = 0.008), compared to AH children with higher ToM skills (OR = 1.7, 95% CI 0.9–3.4, P = 0.11).ConclusionOur results suggest that better mentalizing abilities confer protection against developing full-blown psychosis in children experiencing perceptual anomalies.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.

Moderating Role

Abstract. Background: According to the strain theory of suicide, strains, resulting from conﬂicting and competing pressures in an individual's life, are hypothesized to precede suicide. But social support is an important factor that can mitigate strains and lessen their input in suicidal behavior. Aims: This study was designed to assess the moderating role of social support in the relation between strain and suicidality. Methods: A sample of 1,051 employees were recruited in Beijing, the capital of China, through an online survey. Moderation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro. Social support was measured with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and strains were assessed with the Psychological Strains Scale. Results: Psychological strains are a good predictor of suicidality, and social support, a basic need for each human being, moderates and decreases the effects of psychological strains on suicidality. Limitations: The cross-sectional survey limited the extent to which conclusions about causal relationships can be drawn. Furthermore, the results may not be generalized to the whole of China because of its diversity. Conclusion: Social support has a tendency to mitigate the effects of psychological strains on suicidality.
