Self-concept clarity and self-esteem: A meta-analysis
Black Men’s Prostate Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Access to Health Information
Disparities in prostate cancer incidence and mortality among Black men exist in Suffolk County, New York, indicating a need to provide effective educational interventions about prostate cancer screening for this population. We conducted a mixed-methods study exploring Black men’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about prostate cancer, and how they access health information. Three semi-structured virtual focus groups were conducted by Black male …
Exploring Undergraduates' Attitudes Toward Sterilization as Contraception in the Northeastern United States: A Brief Report
This study revealed young adults value bodily autonomy in reproductive choices, regardless of permanence or potential regret, factors some providers weigh heavily. Whether interest in sterilization among this population increases or remains static, it is important for healthcare providers to be aware of these attitudes when handling requests from younger adults
Modern Relationships: Romance, Friendship, and Family in the 21st Century
Cultural, political, and legal changes in the 21st century have changed the landscapes in which our close interpersonal relationships take place. Many choose to remain single or get married later. Online dating and cohabitation are more readily accepted and common. Our friendships, especially on social media, have gained importance. Issues surrounding gender identity, equity, and sexual orientation also loom large. With the help of technology, mo…

In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, researchers' operationalizations of romantic infidelity and the techniques that they employed to measure it were surveyed along with the demographic characteristics of their respondent samples. A meta‐analytic synthesis of infidelity prevalence estimates and their moderators is provided. The APA PsycINFO, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and ERIC databases were searched for peer‐reviewed, English‐language s…
Deceitful Hints: A Meta-Analytic Review of the Part-List Cuing Impairment in Recall
A mixed‐methods evaluation of the experience of emerging young adult care partners
There is limited literature on emerging young adult (EYA) care partners, despite a recent rise in interest in this group. The purpose of this study is to compare EYA care partners and their non‐care partner peers in the domains of academic achievement and engagement, employment, health‐related behaviors and self‐care, and mental health and respite, as well as to assess EYA care partners’ burden and potential for positive psychosocial sequelae and…
Explaining sex discrepancies in sterilization rates in the United States: An evidence‐informed commentary
Recent reports suggest that court rulings restricting abortion access and looming threats to contraceptive legality and accessibility may be prompting a national increase in male sterilization
Testing effects of social rejection on aggressive and prosocial behavior: A meta‐analysis
Social rejection elicits profound feelings of distress. From an evolutionary perspective, the best way to alleviate this distress is to behave prosocially, minimizing the likelihood of further exclusion. Yet, examples ranging from the playground to the pub suggest rejection commonly elicits aggression. Opposing theoretical perspectives and discordant empirical results have left a basic question unanswered: does rejection more commonly elicit pros…
Young adults’ stigmatizing perceptions about individuals with skin cancer: The influence of potential cancer cause, cancer metaphors, and gender
Objective: This study examined the influence of three potential predictors of stigmatising cancer perceptions: the controllability of the cancer cause, metaphors used to describe the cancer experience, and the target’s gender.Method: 306 undergraduates (Mage = 20) were recruited via subject pool, balancing males and females. Participants read a fictitious post by a patient/blogger with skin cancer that described different potential causes for the…
The Extended Contact Hypothesis: A Meta-Analysis on 20 Years of Research
According to the extended contact hypothesis, knowing that in-group members have cross-group friends improves attitudes toward this out-group. This meta-analysis covers the 20 years of research that currently exists on the extended contact hypothesis, and consists of 248 effect sizes from 115 studies. The aggregate relationship between extended contact and intergroup attitudes was r = .25, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [.22, .27], which reduced …
Barriers to mammography screening among racial and ethnic minority women
Psychosocial predictors of mammography history among Chinese American women without a recent mammogram
Chinese American women have lower rates of mammography screening compared with non-Hispanic White women. Although the extent of perceived barriers, as conceptualized by the Health Belief Model, have been shown to distinguish between currently non-adherent Chinese American women who have ever and never had a mammogram, it is less clear which types of perceived barriers differentiate them. One hundred twenty-eight Chinese American women in the New …
Just relax and you'll get pregnant? Meta-analysis examining women's emotional distress and the outcome of assisted reproductive technology
Attentional Bias for Sexual Threat Among Sexual Victimization Survivors: A Meta-Analytic Review
The current meta-analysis examined the effects of sexual victimization (SV) on attentional bias for sexual threat. This relationship was also examined among victims of SV with and without a current diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The broader aim was to elucidate potential mechanisms operating between SV and negative health outcomes. As hypothesized, the findings supported a positive relationship between SV and attentional bias…
Protestant work ethic's relation to intergroup and policy attitudes: A meta-analytic review
The Protestant work ethic (PWE), the belief that hard work leads to success, is prevalent in many cultures and has been related to negative attitudes toward disadvantaged groups (prejudice) and social policies targeting them. Given recent theorizing and findings suggesting that PWE is not necessarily associated with prejudice among all people or in all contexts, this meta-analysis examined the direction and strength of PWE's relation to prejudice…
Strengthening the Educational Value of Undergraduate Participation in Research as Part of a Psychology Department Subject Pool
Participating in research must be an educational experience for students in order to ethically justify its inclusion as a requirement in college courses. Introductory Psychology students (N = 280) completed a written class assignment describing their research participation as a means to enhance this educational mission. Approximately half of students spontaneously mentioned something positive about the significance of the research or what they le…
Effects of Participant Preferences in Unblinded Randomized Controlled Trials
Little research has deliberately investigated the effects of participant preferences for treatment condition in unblinded randomized controlled trials. We designed a study with a non-patient sample comparing a randomized arm to a preference arm of the same trial to investigate: (1) whether having a choice to select one's preference affects feelings about participation, belief in treatment effectiveness, treatment contamination, intervention adher…
Predictors of awareness of clinical trials and feelings about the use of medical information for research in a nationally representative US sample
Although some racial groups feel less positively about some aspects of research, it is also evident that awareness of clinical trials, a predictor of more positive feelings about research, is less prevalent in some groups. In addition to creative outreach efforts to foster more positive feelings about research and researchers, promoting awareness of clinical trials among the general public and among members of racial and ethnic minority groups ma…
Does Premarital Cohabitation Predict Subsequent Marital Stability and Marital Quality? A Meta-Analysis
Cohabitation with a romantic partner has become common in recent decades. This meta-analysis examined the link between premarital cohabitation and marital stability ( k = 16) and marital quality ( k = 12). Cohabitation had a significant negative association with both marital stability and marital quality. The negative predictive effect on marital stability, however, did not remain when only cohabitation with the eventual marital partner was analy…
Choosing” Health Under Conditions of Limited Control and Competing Demands
Effect of Participation Incentives on the Composition of National Health Surveys
Our understanding of health attitudes and behaviors often relies on national surveys. This study examined how the composition of the Health Information National Trends Survey was influenced by participation incentives. Younger respondents who had had cancer were the least likely to report that a lack of incentive would dissuade them from participating. The group receiving no incentive had the smallest proportion of individuals with cancer. Howeve…
Brief interventions for alcohol problems: A meta‐analytic review of controlled investigations in treatment‐seeking and non‐treatment‐seeking populations
Brief interventions for alcohol use disorders have been the focus of considerable research. In this meta‐analytic review, we considered studies comparing brief interventions with either control or extended treatment conditions. We calculated the effect sizes for multiple drinking‐related outcomes at multiple follow‐up points, and took into account the critical distinction between treatment‐seeking and non‐treatment‐seeking samples. Most investiga…
Challenges Facing Female Doctoral Students and Recent Graduates
Although increasing the numbers of women and minority faculty in academia is a widely held goal, their numbers remain small. The presence of women and minorities decreases disproportionately at each ascending rung of the academic ladder. This investigation identified factors potentially contributing to attrition in White and non-White women at a critical stage in their careers: as doctoral candidates and recent graduates. Two-hundred and twenty-f…
Predictors of Social Support and Psychological Distress in Women with Breast Cancer
This investigation sought to understand previous well-cited and worrisome findings that women treated for breast cancer with breast-conserving surgery compared to mastectomy experience less social support and more mood disturbance, and that social support from significant others erodes over time. Ninety-three women with breast cancer and a subset of their partners completed assessments at the time of surgical treatment and at 3 and 13 months post…

Additional Validation of a Scale to Assess Positive States of Mind
OBJECTIVE: Numerous studies have linked stress and negative states to adverse health outcomes. However, in addition to engendering negative states, stress may impair capacities to experience positive states. Such failure to experience positive states may represent a risk factor for poor health in and of itself. The research reported here examines a brief, easily repeated measure of positive states of mind (PSOM) including: focused attention, prod…
