“…The dimensions assessed are the severity of difficulty in falling asleep, maintenance, and early morning wakening, sleep dissatisfaction, interference of sleep problems with daytime functioning, sleep disturbance of others, and distress caused by sleep disturbance. A five-point Likert scale (e.g., 0 = none; 4 = very severe) is used to assess each item, with a total score ranging from 0 to 28, with a higher total score indicating more severe sleep difficulties: no insomnia (0-7), subthreshold insomnia (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), moderate insomnia (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21), and severe insomnia (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) [46]. An Arabic version of the ISI [47] was administered to the participants by the interviewer.…”

“…The theoretical framework associated with the concept of cognitive distortion is referred to as the Cognitive Distortions Theory, alternatively known as the Cognitive Distortions, or Cognitive Distortions Model, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) [2,9]. The examination of cognitive distortion in adolescents holds great importance as it pertains to their substantial cognitive and emotional growth [10], which in turn has implications for their mental health and overall well-being [11,12]. These distortions may potentially exacerbate susceptibility to anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and additional mental health conditions [11].…”

This study adapted and validated the How I Think Questionnaire (HIT-Q), intending to develop an Arabic version of the measure. The study assessed the (a) factorial structure of the Arabic version of the How I Think Questionnaire (A-HIT-Q), (b) construct validity evidence of the A-HIT-Q based on the internal structure of the scale, and (c) criterion validity evidence, highlighting how the cognitive distortions measure relates to some key theoretical variables such as depression. This study involved 762 Tunisian students aged 15–22 years, using a non-probabilistic sampling method. The students were boys (n = 297) and girls (n = 465). They completed self-report forms on Arabic-HIT-Q, depression (HADS), sleep (ISI), and physical activity participation, adhering to all relevant ethical considerations. Exploratory analysis revealed four factors which accounted for 73.46% of the variations in the distortion measure. Reliability analysis showed good internal consistency (α = 0.915) and temporal stability (r = 0.879). Criterion validity evidence showed cognitive distortion (as measured with the A-HIT-Q) was significantly associated with physical activity participation, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, no significant relationship has been observed between cognitive distortion, age, gender, and study levels. The evidence gathered supports the utility of the A-HIT-Q. Thus, the instrument demonstrates high efficacy in assessing the levels of cognitive distortions among adolescent students residing in Arabic-speaking regions.

“…Stress is perceived as a current problem with multiple implications, almost unavoidable, with which most people must confront daily (Rus et al, 2020), that affects both emotional and mental state. A stressful situation puts the whole body in a state of alert, causing discomfort that interferes with human activities (Valdez López, Marentes Patrón, Correa Valenzuela, Hernández Pedroza, Enríquez Quintero & Quintana Zavala, 2022), affecting health, productivity, interpersonal relations, and causing accidents (Jha, Bhoi, Saha, Singh, Mukherjee, Sharma & Jayarani, 2022).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic context put to test all adaptive skills of human beings around the world. In this disruptive context, a sample of 401 respondents (173 male and 228 female), aged between 19 and 65 years old, were assessed using the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Emotional Distress Profile (PDE) and the Autonomy Questionnaire, from Cognitrom Assessment System. The main objectives of the study aimed at identifying the significant differences in emotional distress, coping mechanisms, autonomy and self-acceptance based on gender and age as grouping variables, and the significant relationships between all these variables. Statistics show differences in behavioural and emotional autonomy between male and female, differences related to catastrophizing and blaming others as resilience mechanisms between male and female, differences in self-acceptance and positive assessment (as coping mechanism) between young people and adults, and significant negative correlations between emotional distress and all types of autonomy (value, cognitive, behavioural and emotional), significant positive correlation with coping mechanisms like blaming others, catastrophizing, self-blame and acceptance, and significant negative correlation with positive assessment and refocusing on planning. All results are discussed in the context of the disruption caused by the pandemic context and in relationship with the necessity of supporting people to maintain their mental health and well-being, now more than ever, with the new turning back to the previous way of life caused by the lifting of the state of alert by the authorities.
