Скрининг тревоги и депрессии в общей популяции: адаптация Patient Health Questionnaire-4 в России
Обозрение психиатрии и медицинской психологии им. В.М. Бехтерева. 2024. Т. 58. № 2. С. 45–54.
Summary. The Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) is one of the most well-known and widely used instruments for assessing anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Objective. The aim of this study was to adapt the Russian-language version of the PHQ-4 in the general population.
Material and Methods. Data collection was carried out with the help of the service «Anketolog». The participants were 2,000 Russians (1,000 men and 1,000 women) aged 18 to 60 years (M = 38.78; SD = 9.25).
Results. The psychometric analysis confirmed the internal reliability and discriminative validity of the adapted questionnaire. The proof of the factor validity of the Russian version of the PHQ-4 was the identification of a two-factor structure describing the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and factor invariance by age, level of education, marital status, parental status, financial status and place of residence. Among the Russians, 44.9% had clinically significant anxiety symptoms and 42.9% had clinically significant depressive symptoms. Russians with anxiety and depressive symptoms more often sought counseling from a psychologist, coach, psychiatrist and neurologist, underwent psychopharmacological treatment in connection with psychological requests, contacted support groups and a psychological help hotline, used online products of automated or semi-automated psychological support, read psychological literature and used psychoactive substances.
Conclusion. The psychometric properties of the Russian-language version of the PHQ-4 turned out to be similar to the psychometric characteristics of the original version of the questionnaire, and therefore the adapted questionnaire can be recommended for screening anxiety and depression in the general Russian-speaking population.

It is generally accepted that the basis of social and legal stability in any society is a consensus on vir tue — the fundamental values of proper behavior, ways of maintaining and reproducing them. And, conversely, the destruction of this consensus is a sign of the loss of stability and divergence of positions of social ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

Abstract
Context and relevance. In the context of accelerated urbanization and a growing disconnect from the natural
environment, there is increasing interest in biophilic attitudes — a system of stable views, beliefs, and
evaluations that reflect a person’s relationship with living nature and shape their psychological well-being and
environmentally responsible behavior. Existing tools for their measurement, such as the ...

Precarious manhood theory (PMT) explains men's compensatory responses to masculinity threats in domains such as affect, aggression, risk-taking, dominance, and social attitudes. While recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that masculinity threat has a small-to-medium average effect, recent preregistered replication work has failed to reproduce some influential masculinity-threat effects in a large representative sample, raising questions about ...

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases. Little is known about whether the underlying mechanisms of mental health outcomes differ between ...

Anxiety is conceptualized variously as a stable trait, a clinical disorder, or a domain-specific worry, yet it remains unclear whether these forms represent a unified construct or distinct phenomena. This theoretical article proposes a dual-structure model, positing that anxiety operates through a general vulnerability factor (aligned with trait anxiety/neuroticism) alongside orthogonal, domain-specific components (e.g., math, ...
