“…In line with some prior studies (Wu, Liu, Zhang, et al, 2022), binary logistic regression analysis was then performed to investigate the possible associations between all socio-demographic/psychological factors (age, sex, years of education, ethnicity, province, single child, parental separation, left-behind experiences, family history of mental disorders, depression, anxiety, psychotic-like experiences, family functioning, and psychological resilience) and childhood OP/OC experiences after adjusting for the confounding effects of other variables. The statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 (two-tailed) after false discovery rate (FDR) corrections.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this study is one of the first reports to suggest a positive relationship between OP/OC and psychotic-like experiences. Psychotic-like experiences are subclinical delusion-like or hallucinationlike symptoms, which are related to increased risks of developing subsequent mental disorders (Wu, Liu, Zhang, et al, 2022). Previous studies have shown that some other subtypes of childhood trauma such as abuses and neglects would strongly increase the risks of developing schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (Chaiyachati & Gur, 2021;Vieira et al, 2020), which may be presented as having psychotic-like experiences in the early stage (Read et al, 2005).…”

The childhood experiences of being overprotected and overcontrolled by family members have been suggested to be potentially traumatic. However, the possible associated factors of these experiences among young people are still not well studied. This study aimed to investigate the possible associated factors of childhood overprotection/overcontrol (OP/OC) experiences in young populations in a relatively large, nationwide sample of Chinese university students. A total of 5,823 university students across nine different provinces in China were recruited and included in the data analyses. All participants completed the OP/OC subscale in a recently developed 33-item Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-33) to assess their OP/OC experiences. Data were also collected on socio-demographic information and multiple psychological characteristics of all participants. Binary logistic regression was conducted to investigate the associated factors of OP/OC. The prevalence of childhood OP/OC was estimated as 15.63% (910/5,823) based on a cutoff of OP/OC subscale score ≥ 13. Binary logistic regression suggested that being male, being a single child, having depression, having psychotic-like experiences, lower family functioning, and lower psychological resilience were independently associated with childhood OP/OC experiences (all corrected-p＜0.05). The OP/OC was also positively associated with all the other trauma subtypes (abuses and neglects) in the CTQ-33. Post-hoc analyses suggested that OP/OC experiences were associated with depression in only females, and associated with anxiety in only males. Our results may provide initial evidence that childhood OP/OC experiences would have negative effects on young people's mental health which merits further investigations, especially in clinical populations.

“…For instance, one study using a state-clustering algorithm suggested that the females’ brain networks switch connectivity states less frequently than the males’ and can thus be considered more stable over time [ 43 ]; in another study using the temporal clustering coefficient, it was found that the females’ brain networks are more stable than the males’ and such differences are significant at both the global and regional (particularly within the default-mode and subcortical regions) levels [ 14 ]. These findings may not only highlight the necessity to control for sex effects in dFC studies, but also provide valuable insight into the sex differences in clinical characteristics of many mental problems and disorders (e.g., females are more likely to be affected by depression) [ 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

Based on functional magnetic resonance imaging and multilayer dynamic network model, the brain network’s quantified temporal stability has shown potential in predicting altered brain functions. This manuscript aims to summarize current knowledge, clinical research progress, and future perspectives on brain network’s temporal stability. There are a variety of widely used measures of temporal stability such as the variance/standard deviation of dynamic functional connectivity strengths, the temporal variability, the flexibility (switching rate), and the temporal clustering coefficient, while there is no consensus to date which measure is the best. The temporal stability of brain networks may be associated with several factors such as sex, age, cognitive functions, head motion, circadian rhythm, and data preprocessing/analyzing strategies, which should be considered in clinical studies. Multiple common psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder have been found to be related to altered temporal stability, especially during the resting state; generally, both excessively decreased and increased temporal stabilities were thought to reflect disorder-related brain dysfunctions. However, the measures of temporal stability are still far from applications in clinical diagnoses for neuropsychiatric disorders partly because of the divergent results. Further studies with larger samples and in transdiagnostic (including schizoaffective disorder) subjects are warranted.

“…In the survey, several important confounding factors need to be considered. In addition to the socio-demographic characteristics [e.g., sex ( 34 ), age ( 27 )] that has been shown to be potentially related to PLEs, the environmental factors (family and school) in which the adolescents were exposed to need to be examined. The current study used family function and school climate to represent two environmental factors of family and school respectively.…”

AimSleep disturbance was closely associated with an increased risk of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). This study aims to explore the association between sleep disturbance and PLEs among urban adolescents with and without parental migration.MethodsA total of 67, 532 urban Chinese adolescents were recruited in a large web-based survey during April 21st to May 12th, 2021. In our study, sleep disturbance, PLEs, family function, school climate, and a series of socio-demographic were assessed. And hierarchical logistic regression analyses were performed to examine influential factors associated with PLEs.ResultsUrban left-behind children (LBC) had a higher prevalence of sleep disturbance and PLEs than non-LBC. After controlling for confounders, parental migration was associated to PLEs with weak significance (OR = 1.19). Meanwhile, sleep disturbance was found to be a robust risk factor for PLEs (OR = 3.84 and 4.09), with or without the effect of parental migration. In addition, better family function and school climate has significant association with decreased risk of PLEs.ConclusionAdolescents with sleep disturbance are more likely to report PLEs. Adolescents' PLEs preventive strategies could focus on reducing sleep disturbance related symptoms as well as improving family function and school climate.
