This article presents the development and validation of a short doomscrolling scale, conceptualized as excessive consumption of negative news that affects individuals’ emotional state. A five-item scale is proposed, partly based on the components model of behavioral addictions and the diagnostic criteria for addictions (DSM-5). The quality of the instrument is tested using data from a nationally representative Russian survey conducted in spring 2025 (N = 6041). The distribution of responses demonstrates a “stepwise” pattern. There is relatively high agreement with statements about constant consumption of negative content (22%) and maintaining the same level of consumption despite an awareness of its harmful effects (26%). Lower support is observed for items capturing withdrawal-like symptoms (9%) and news-related functional impairments (10%). Accordingly, the scale is appropriate for assessing the severity of doomscrolling. The instrument demonstrates acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.741), which is stable across different socio-demographic groups. All items make a meaningful contribution to the measurement of doomscrolling; removing any individual statement reduces the internal consistency of the scale. The instrument has a unidimensional structure: all items show sufficient communalities and high factor loadings. Three levels of doomscrolling are distinguished (absent, moderate, and pronounced), with higher levels associated with an increased share of respondents reporting nervous disorders, use of tranquilizers and antidepressants, as well as heightened anxiety about the future. The study concludes that the scale is suitable for diagnosing doomscrolling and identifying risk groups.

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...
