DESCRIPTION:The distinction between schizophrenia and schizoaffective disor
 der is debated in psychiatry circles. Yet\, there is not a lot of consiste
 ncy in the application of this distinction in research. This study examine
 s how schizoaffective disorder is handled in contemporary schizophrenia re
 search\, focusing on whether it is included\, excluded\, or combined with 
 schizophrenia in study samples and analyses. Particular attention is given
  to how mood symptoms\, which are central to the diagnostic distinction\, 
 are measured and incorporated into analytic decisions. Preliminary screeni
 ng suggests substantial variation in diagnostic handling and limited justi
 fication for these choices. By documenting current practices\, this study 
 aims to clarify how diagnostic distinctions are operationalized in practic
 e and to inform more transparent and consistent reporting and analytic app
 roaches in future psychosis research.

DESCRIPTION:Cognitive flexibility is widely studied across psychological li
 terature. Yet\, it is operationalized in markedly different ways. Neurobeh
 avioral research typically indexes flexibility via performance-based measu
 res of set-shifting or task-switching\, whereas cognitive-behavioral thera
 py (CBT) and related clinical traditions conceptualize flexibility in term
 s of belief updating\, reappraisal\, or psychological adaptability\, often
  assessed through self-report measures. Drawing on insights from a scoping
  review of cognitive flexibility in schizophrenia\, this lightning talk hi
 ghlights how the shared label obscures theoretical and measurement heterog
 eneity\, while empirical links between these operationalizations are rarel
 y examined. I argue that this lack of systematic disambiguation limits ove
 rall inference\, complicates evidence synthesis\, and risks inappropriate 
 generalizations across studies. I propose a few recommendations: explicit 
 construct tagging at first use\, operationalization-first reporting\, rest
 ricting cross-tradition generalization\, justifying joint measurement when
  integration is claimed\, and separating evidence syntheses by operational
 ization\, rather than aggregating under a shared label.
