“…Our finding of a moderately strong association between externality and DS was similar to that found by others (Cheng et al, 2013 ; Culpin et al, 2015 ; Moreira et al, 2020 ). A meta-analysis (Cheng et al, 2013 ) found a weaker association between externality and DS for collectivist compared to individualist cultures, which was not replicated in our study.…”

“…Fourthly, most research has been carried out in the UK and US where the culture is more individualist, which does not elucidate the relationship in populations with collectivist cultures (Cheng et al, 2013 ; Moreira et al, 2020 ). There is some cross-sectional evidence that people in collectivist counties report higher external LoC scores and that LoC scores show weaker associations with psychopathology (Cheng et al, 2013 ).…”

Background: An external locus of control (externality) is associated with poorer psychopathology in individualist cultures, but associations are reported to be weaker in collectivist cultures where an external style is less maladaptive. We investigated the prospective association between externality and psychotic-like experiences (PLE) and depressive symptoms (DS) and compared the strength of associations between a UK and a Japanese cohort.Method: Cross-cultural cohort study of a UK (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) and a Japanese cohort (Tokyo Teen Cohort). Externality was assessed using the Children's Nowicki and Strickland Internal, External Scale and DS using the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire in both cohorts, PLE were assessed with the Psychosis-Like Experiences Questionnaire (ALSPAC), and the Adolescent Psychotic-Like Symptom Screener (TTC). Associations were investigated using multivariable regression models and bivariate regression models to compare the strength of associations.Results: Mean externality in both childhood and adolescence was higher in ALSPAC than in the TTC. Childhood externality was associated with PLE in late childhood and adolescence in both cohorts and adolescent externality was associated with PLE in young adulthood in the ALSPAC cohort. There was a more mixed pattern of association between externality and DS scores. There was little evidence of any differences in the strength of associations between externality and different psychopathologies, or between cohorts. In ALSPAC adolescent externality and early adult psychopathology were more strongly associated than childhood externality and adolescent and early adult psychopathology. There was no evidence that change in externality between childhood and adolescence was associated with new onset PLE or DS in early adulthood.Conclusion: An external locus of control is associated with poor mental health regardless of cultural context.

“…Child and adolescent mental health has received much attention recently. Emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents, in particular, have been a focus of research, examining issues such as the association between stature and mental illness and psychopathological symptoms related to negative life events (Dhamayanti, Deliana, & Bukkar, 2018; Moreira et al, 2020). Students' perceptions about mental health and cyberbullying are new issues that are also concerning (Wiguna et al, 2018; Willenberg et al, 2020).…”

Introduction This study aims to review recent scientific publications and research output in the field of psychiatry, from a series of countries in the Asia‐Pacific region (Australia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, and Nepal), with a view to identify themes and similarities across regions, as well as to examine the barriers and challenges in mental health research faced by countries in the region. Methods Seven psychiatrists from seven countries reviewed recent published and ongoing research in psychiatry in their respective nations, with respect to themes, as well as any barriers or challenges faced by mental health researchers. Results While the seven nations included in this review vary in terms of research capabilities and economic development level, they share many similarities both in terms of research direction, and with regards to challenges faced. Limitations in the form of sociocultural differences from the West, and a lack of funding were some of the barriers identified. Discussion Mental health research in the region has been progressing well. However, more varied research in the form of qualitative or economic studies are lacking, as are multi‐center studies. The similar issues that nations face with regards to research could perhaps benefit from collaborative efforts and initiatives for the furtherance of research in the region.

“…However, some data cannot be explained only by adverse circumstances. The burden of anxiety and depression is not higher in low and medium income countries in comparison with high income countries ( World Health Organization, 2017 ) and collectivism versus individualism moderates the impact of negative social and other events on mental health ( Moreira et al, 2020 ; Tafarodi & Smith, 2001 ).…”
