On being unpredictable and winning
J Pers Soc Psychol. 2024 Mar;126(3):369-389. doi: 10.1037/pspa0000378.ABSTRACTIn theory, it can be strategically advantageous for competitors to make themselves unpredictable to their opponents, for example, by variably mixing hostility and friendliness. Empirically, it remains open whether and how competitors make themselves unpredictable, why they do so, and how this conditions conflict dynamics and outcomes. We examine these questions in interactive attacker-defender contests, in which attackers invest to capture resources held and defended by their opponent. Study 1, a reanalysis of nine (un)published experiments (tota...

Intergroup processes and the happy face advantage: How social categories influence emotion categorization
J Pers Soc Psychol. 2024 Mar;126(3):390-412. doi: 10.1037/pspa0000386.ABSTRACTThere is abundant evidence that emotion categorization is influenced by the social category membership of target faces, with target sex and target race modulating the ease with which perceivers can categorize happy and angry emotional expressions. However, theoretical interpretation of these findings is constrained by gender and race imbalances in both the participant samples and target faces typically used when demonstrating these effects (e.g., most participants have been White women and most Black targets have been men). Across seven experimen...

Perceiving greater variety among past conflicts with a focal goal reduces expected goal conflict
J Pers Soc Psychol. 2024 Mar;126(3):413-430. doi: 10.1037/pspa0000387.ABSTRACTMany important personal goals, such as health, career, finances, and social relationships, entail repeatedly performing the same (or similar) actions over time (e.g., to exercise daily or save money weekly). When pursuing such ongoing goals, people are likely to accumulate multiple experiences of goal conflict (e.g., multiple occasions when one failed to exercise or save as intended). How might these past experiences of goal conflict inform expectations about future goal pursuit? This research examines how the perceived relationship among past co...

Using risk of crime detection to study change in mechanisms of decision making
J Pers Soc Psychol. 2024 Mar;126(3):477-491. doi: 10.1037/pspp0000493.ABSTRACTPerceptions of crime detection risk (e.g., risk of arrest) play an integral role in the criminal decision-making process. Yet, the sources of variation in those perceptions are not well understood. Do individuals respond to changes in legal policy or is perception of detection risk shaped like other perceptions-by experience, heuristics, and with biases? We applied a developmental perspective to study self-reported perception of detection risk. We test four hypotheses against data from the Dunedin Longitudinal Study (analytic sample of N = 985 Ne...

Get active now or later? The association between physical activity and risk and time preferences
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Apr 20:102650. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102650. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the well-established link between physical activity and positive health outcomes, much of the world's population remains inactive. Many people don't invest in health behaviours, such as physical activity, in the present, despite the long-term benefits of this. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity levels and risk and time preferences in university students. A maximum likelihood model was used to jointly estimate risk and time preferences (elicited in an incentivised ...

Hard shell, soft core? Multi-disciplinary and multi-national insights into mental toughness among surgeons
CONCLUSION: Mental toughness varies significantly among surgeons from different specialties and is influenced by professional dedication and personal life satisfaction. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to foster mental toughness in the surgical community, potentially enhancing surgical performance and reducing burnout. Future research should continue to explore these correlations, with an emphasis on longitudinal data and the development of resilience-building programs.PMID:38645505 | PMC:PMC11027567 | DOI:10.3389/fsurg.2024.1361406 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Delayed Abdominal Flap for Upper Extremity Soft Tissue Coverage
The objectives of achieving stable soft tissue coverage while preserving maximal length of the upper extremity were successfully achieved, and the patient expressed satisfaction with the outcomes. Inadequate management of upper extremity wounds can lead to amputation and psychological distress. The reconstructive ladder is used to approach upper extremity soft tissue defects, with free tissue transfer being the standard for larger defects. However, abdominal flaps still have indications when free tissue transfer is not feasible or contraindicated. It is imperative that plastic surgeons have these techniques in their armame...

Anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing laryngectomy: A long-term prospective evaluation
CONCLUSION: Anxiety, depression and QoL in laryngectomised patients improved at 1 year after surgery and were maintained for up to 5 years.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Laryngectomy is associated with prolonged functional and psychological effects and has a major impact on patient quality of life (QoL). Several prospective studies evaluating the QoL in laryngectomised patients have been reported, in which significant deterioration in social functioning was found even 1 year after surgery. What this paper adds to existing knowledge One year is not a sufficient period for laryngectomised patients...

A Pilot Study of Metacognitive Training in U.S. Republican Leaners: Reducing Polarization Toward LGBTIQ+ Persons
Arch Sex Behav. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s10508-024-02856-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNegative attitudes and stigmatization toward sexual minorities is a cause of minority stress of non-heterosexual persons on an individual level and has a negative impact on democratic coexistence in postmodern, plural society on a societal level. Derived from clinical research, we developed a short metacognitive training (MCT) intended to induce doubt toward inaccurate beliefs about LGBTIQ+ persons. We expected this MCT to reduce homonegativity, threat perceptions of LGBTIQ+ persons, and to foster extended outgroup tolerance compare...

Trauma History Questionnaire: validation with novel samples of incarcerated women and perinatal women
Women Health. 2024 Apr 22:1-12. doi: 10.1080/03630242.2024.2344503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrauma exposure is associated with numerous negative outcomes, many of which are amplified within at-risk populations. Two under-researched and at-risk populations, incarcerated women and perinatal women, both report high rates of trauma, psychopathology, and PTSD compared to the general population. One common measure of trauma exposure in various populations, including incarcerated women and perinatal women, is the Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ). However, no known studies have validated the THQ within these two unique, un...
