Abstract Incels, Involuntary Celibates, are men who both struggle with lack of sexual and romantic relationships and participate in online communities espousing a misogynistic ideology. This study characterizes users of three popular Incel forums. Using network analysis and community detection, we identify their main issues and interests and assess whether interests predated or followed their initial participation in an Incel forum. Results indicate that users commonly engage with content concerning mental health and relationships, but also participate in other hateful forums. Contributions to hateful forums mostly predated their earliest engagement with an Incel forum. Implications for prevention and intervention are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Self‐reported word‐finding difficulties are among the most frequent complaints in cognitively normal (CN) older adults. However, the clinical significance is still debated. Methods: We selected 239 CN from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database who had completed the Everyday Cognition (ECog) questionnaire, as well as a lumbar puncture for amyloid beta (Aβ) and magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Word‐finding complaints, with a few other memory items, were significantly more severe compared to all other cognitive complaints. Ecog‐Lang1 (Forgetting names of objects) severity significantly predicted Aβ levels in CN, even when controlling for general cognitive complaint, demographic, and psychological variables. Individuals with high Ecog‐Lang1 complaints showed atrophy in the left fusiform gyrus and the left rolandic operculum compared to CN with low complaints. Discussion: Overall, our results support the fact that word‐finding complaints should be taken seriously. They have the potential to identify CN at risk of AD and support the need to include other cognitive domains in the investigation of subjective cognitive decline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
