Schools’ Respect for Identity-Based Differences and Student Outcomes
When schools value diversity, students with marginalized identities exhibit better academic and well-being outcomes. However, most work focuses on one identity dimension (e.g., race, sexuality) at a time. Using data from the California Healthy Kids Survey ( N = 205,064 students in 6th–12th grade across 751 schools), we examined how the number of marginalized identities students held, schools’ respect for identity-based differences, and the intera…
Pubertal timing and daily alcohol use in adulthood
Pubertal timing has implications for adolescent substance use, such that early maturers have increased use. Yet, pubertal timing is not widely studied beyond adolescence, making it unclear whether and how adolescent effects persist or if downstream effects emerge after adolescence. This paper investigates the relation between pubertal timing (perceived comparison to same-sex peers) and alcohol use for 75-100 days and examines alcohol belief media…
The daily association between affect and alcohol use
Influential psychological theories hypothesize that people consume alcohol in response to the experience of both negative and positive emotions. Despite two decades of daily diary and ecological momentary assessment research, it remains unclear whether people consume more alcohol on days they experience higher negative and positive affect in everyday life. In this preregistered meta-analysis, we synthesized the evidence for these daily associatio…
A meta-analysis on the affect regulation function of real-time self-injurious thoughts and behaviours
Women in sober living
Studies of the intersectionality of gender, age, mental health, and physical health on sober living outcomes can inform service provision and improve results. Data were extracted from administrative records. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to determine the association between baseline characteristics and reasons for leaving. Women left sober living for three main reasons: relapsing (44%), breaking house rules (21%), and leaving on go…
Heterogeneity in affective complexity among men and women
Affective phenomena have noteworthy complexity and heterogeneity-shared experiences and emotions evoke distinct responses and risk for affective problems across individuals (e.g., higher rates in women than men). Yet by averaging across individuals, affective science research traditionally treats affect as homogenous. Directly modeling person-specific heterogeneity in affective complexity (AC)-like the granularity and covariation of affective exp…
The Gender Risk–Severity Paradox for Alcohol Use Disorder From Adolescence Through Young Adulthood
A large proportion of the public health costs of alcohol use disorder (AUD) can be accounted for by a small percentage of severe cases with a chronic course starting in adolescence and persisting into adulthood. However, chronicity may be a less effective marker of AUD severity in women than men due to a gender risk-severity paradox wherein comparable levels of risk exposure yield more co-occurring problems for women than men with AUD. To model t…
Choke or thrive? The relation between salivary cortisol and math performance depends on individual differences in working memory and math-anxiety
In the current study, we explored how a person's physiological arousal relates to their performance in a challenging math situation as a function of individual differences in working memory (WM) capacity and math-anxiety. Participants completed demanding math problems before and after which salivary cortisol, an index of arousal, was measured. The performance of lower WM individuals did not depend on cortisol concentration or math-anxiety. For hi…
