This retrospective psychometric analysis of 686 MCMI-IV profiles reveals that threshold fragility near clinical cut-offs (BR 75 and BR 85) is a systematic, scale-dependent, and reproducible property of the instrument, suggesting that quantifying proximity to these boundaries could provide a clinically useful layer of uncertainty beyond standard categorical interpretations.
This qualitative study of 50 divorced mothers in Aizawl, Mizoram, reveals that post-divorce life involves a complex reconstruction of economic, social, and emotional realities characterized by both significant distress and resilience, necessitating holistic support systems that address income, caregiving, mental health, and social belonging simultaneously.
This paper argues that while artificial intelligence cannot genuinely replicate the embodied, ritualistic, and authorized nature of calligraphy, its failure serves as a critical mirror revealing that the tradition's own standards of authenticity are historically constructed regimes of power and gatekeeping rather than inherent ontological truths.
This study found that a novel two-week yoga-based Somatic Avatar training significantly improved distress tolerance in college students with moderate alexithymia, though the intervention was less effective for those with high levels of alexithymia.
This mixed-methods study of 1,378 Swedish upper secondary students reveals significant diversity in sexual consent perceptions, highlighting that boys and heterosexual students are less likely to define consent explicitly and more likely to view their sexuality education as sufficient compared to girls and LGBTQIA+ peers, thereby underscoring the need for inclusive, nuanced sex education that addresses gendered power dynamics and varied consent expressions.
This mixed-effects study demonstrates that in L2 listening, explicit semantic anchoring significantly facilitates comprehension while high rhetorical inference load impedes it, with the former effectively mitigating the accuracy costs of the latter across varying proficiency levels.
This study of German adults reveals that the link between neighborhood deprivation and depressive symptoms is non-linear and most pronounced in cities, suggesting that mental health inequalities require settlement-specific interventions alongside broader socioeconomic support.
This 2025 phenomenological study reveals that influencer-generated childbirth content on social media exerts a dual impact on women's perceptions, simultaneously serving as an empowering, informative resource for some while inducing fear, anxiety, and ethical concerns for others.
This paper argues that Agamben's unresolved problem of transmitting individual freedom from sovereign power requires a "Critical Political Theology" that revises apophatic theology through seven principles culminating in "sanctifying profanation," thereby completing Agamben's project from within by transforming his critique into a constructive framework for critical political thought.
This conceptual paper analyzes the ambivalent nature of institutional recognition in Western European higher education, using the University of Oldenburg's "Pedagogy and Social Work in the Migration Society" program as a case study to demonstrate how competency-based practices can challenge deficit-oriented approaches while simultaneously reproducing Eurocentric hierarchies, ultimately proposing a Community-Based Participatory Research framework to foster epistemic justice and structural transformation.
