Social Contexts Requiring Adjudication between Self- and Peer-Interest Differentially Alter Risk Preferences Across Adolescence
Adolescence is a period of escalated rates of risk taking and a dynamic social landscape with peers taking on an important role in shaping one’s decisions. Choosing to engage in risk rarely impacts only the decision maker, but also those around them. With a cohort of typically developing adolescent and young adult friend dyads (N = 128, 11–22 years), the current study investigates how peer-relevant social contexts influence risk preferences at di…
Multimodal Measurement of Pubertal Development
Using data from the Human Connectome Project in Development (N = 1304; ages 5–21 years; 50% male; 59% White, 17% Hispanic, 13% Black, 9% Asian), multiple measures (self-report, salivary hormones) and research designs (longitudinal, cross-sectional) were used to characterize age-related changes and sex differences in pubertal development. Both sexes exhibit a sigmoid trajectory of pubertal development; females show earlier pubertal timing and incr…
Using Support Vector Machines for Facet Partitioning in Multidimensional Scaling
In this article we focus on interpreting multidimensional scaling (MDS) configurations using facet theory. The facet theory approach is attempting to partition a representational space, facet by facet, into regions with certain simplifying constraints on the regions' boundaries (e.g., concentric circular sub-spaces). A long-standing problem has been the lack of computational methods for optimal facet-based partitioning. We propose using support v…
Race and ethnicity moderate the associations between lifetime psilocybin use and crime arrests
Future investigations should take an intersectional approach to studying the interrelationship of sociodemographic factors, psychedelic use, and crime, examine the structural factors (i.e., systemic racism) that may underlie these results, and investigate whether psychedelics can alleviate mental health disorders that contribute to cycles of recriminalization for communities of color
Incorporating macro-social contexts into emotion research
Research into correlates and predictors of emotion regulation has focused almost exclusively on individual differences and the immediate situation. Here, we consider whether features of macro-social contexts may also shape emotion regulation. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a longitudinal study of 502 gay and bisexual men living in 269 U.S. counties that varied in the level of stigma surrounding sexual minorities. We find that gay and bisex…
Shifting qualities of negative affective experience through adolescence
Research shows negative affect increases in healthy adolescents, and this normative change is paralleled by increasing risk for the onset of psychopathology. However, research is limited in characterizing qualitative differences in the type of negative affect experienced beyond the positive-negative valence dimension. In the current study, we establish the relationship between different forms of negative affect and functioning outcomes (i.e., dif…

Within‐person fluctuations in stressful life events, sleep, and anxiety and depression symptoms during adolescence
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is characterized by substantial changes in sleep behavior, heightened exposure to stressful life events (SLEs), and elevated risk for internalizing problems like anxiety and depression. Although SLEs are consistently associated with the onset of internalizing psychopathology, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood, especially at the within-person level. Here, we leverage a high-frequency longi…
Using Administrative Data to Predict Suicide After Psychiatric Hospitalization in the Veterans Health Administration System
There is a very high suicide rate in the year after psychiatric hospital discharge. Intensive postdischarge case management programs can address this problem but are not cost-effective for all patients. This issue can be addressed by developing a risk model to predict which inpatients might need such a program. We developed such a model for the 391,018 short-term psychiatric hospital admissions of US veterans in Veterans Health Administration (VH…
Charting the development of emotion comprehension and abstraction from childhood to adulthood using observer-rated and linguistic measures
This study examined two facets of emotion development: emotion word comprehension (knowing the meaning of emotion words such as "anger" or "excitement") and emotion concept abstraction (representing emotions in terms of internal psychological states that generalize across situations). Using a novel emotion vocabulary assessment, we captured how a cross-sectional sample of participants aged 4-25 ( N = 196) defined 24 emotions. Smoothing spline reg…
Using multistage competing risks approaches to model web page transitions
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present competing risks models and show how dwell times can be applied to predict users' online behavior. This information enables real-time personalization of web content
Goodness-of-Fit Assessment in Multidimensional Scaling and Unfolding
Judging goodness of fit in multidimensional scaling requires a comprehensive set of diagnostic tools instead of relying on stress rules of thumb. This article elaborates on corresponding strategies and gives practical guidelines for researchers to obtain a clear picture of the goodness of fit of a solution. Special emphasis will be placed on the use of permutation tests. The second part of the article focuses on goodness-of-fit assessment of an i…

Generating Nonnormal Multivariate Data Using Copulas
This article develops a procedure based on copulas to simulate multivariate nonnormal data that satisfy a prespecified variance-covariance matrix. The covariance matrix used can comply with a specific moment structure form (e.g., a factor analysis or a general structural equation model). Thus, the method is particularly useful for Monte Carlo evaluation of structural equation models within the context of nonnormal data. The new procedure for nonn…
