Satisfaction With Toilet Renovation in Rural Areas: A Case Study of G Village
Objective: To investigate the satisfaction of villagers in G village with the renovation of household toilets. Methods: 335 villagers from G village in Anhui Province were randomly invited to fill out a self‐designed questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Before the toilet renovation, 74.9% of the households had separate toilets, 91.6% of the villagers supported the toilet renovation, 11.6% of the villagers still used the aqua toi…
Sex difference in parental risk of suicide attempt during and after pregnancy in Sweden
Whether the risks of maternal and paternal suicide attempt during and after pregnancy differ remains unclear. Here, in this nationwide register-based study in Sweden (2,196,276 pregnancies), we defined the year before conception, pregnancy and the year after birth and estimated week-specific incidence rate ratios (IRRs). We identified 7,469 (1.39 per 1,000 person-years) suicide attempts among mothers and 8,338 (1.62 per 1,000 person-years) among …
A neural geometry approach comprehensively explains apparently conflicting models of visual perceptual learning
Visual perceptual learning (VPL), defined as long-term improvement in a visual task, is considered a crucial tool for elucidating underlying visual and brain plasticity. Previous studies have proposed several neural models of VPL, including changes in neural tuning or in noise correlations. Here, to adjudicate different models, we propose that all neural changes at single units can be conceptualized as geometric transformations of population resp…
A case study in developmental discontinuity: PROSPER Interventions and adolescent substance use trajectories shape young adult substance use and mental health problems
The loss of John Schulenberg reverberates across the developmental and prevention sciences. In honor of his many contributions, this paper applies his ideas of developmental continuity and discontinuity to understand the process by which PROSPER delivered universal prevention programs (delivered in Grades 6 and 7) affect young adult outcomes. Guided by these developmental models, we deconstructed adolescent substance use initiation trajectories i…

Family vulnerability and disruption during the Covid‐19 pandemic: Prospective pathways to child maladjustment
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated two risk pathways that may account for increases in child internalizing and externalizing problems during the COVID-19 pandemic: one pathway operating through pre-existing family vulnerability and a second pathway operating through disruption in family functioning occurring in response to the pandemic. We assessed family disruption and family functioning with measures of key family-level and parenting dimensions, …
Multivariate growth trajectories of parenting practices in adolescence predicting young adult relationships with parents
Guided by the life course perspective, this study investigated the developmental antecedents of contact, closeness/warmth, and negativity in young adults' relationships with their parents. Taking the developmental systems approach, we considered interindividual differences in not only initial levels of parenting quality in early adolescence (Grade 6) but also developmental changes in parenting quality across adolescence (Grades 6-12) as predictor…
Parent–Child Contact, Closeness, and Conflict Across the Transition to Adulthood
Objective This study examined whether youth and parent perceptions of parent–child contact, closeness, and conflict change during the transition to adulthood, and how perceived parent–child relations vary as a function of life course experiences such as residential, education, and relationship status. Background The parent–child relationship is one of the most influential and long‐lasting social ties. Much research on this relationship focuses on…
Convoys of perceived support from adolescence to midlife
Data from 963 Canadians at ages 18 (late adolescence), 25 (young adulthood), and 43 (midlife) were used to explore convoys of perceived social support from parents, other family, friends, partners, coworkers, and children. Latent profile and latent transition analyses revealed two support profiles at each age, distinguished by amount of family support. Those with high family support had a high likelihood (approximately 80%) of remaining in that p…
Trajectories of perceived support from family, friends, and lovers in the transition to adulthood
Trajectories of perceived support from family, friends, and lovers were examined in 923 high school seniors surveyed across the transition to adulthood (ages 18, 19, 20, 22, and 25). Growth models revealed a cubic pattern of support from family members, which peaked at age 20, no change in friend support, and a linear decrease in lover support. Women reported higher levels of support than did men for all sources except fathers. Over time, friend …
Quick, uncertain, and delayed adults: Timing, sequencing and duration of youth-adult transitions in Canada
The transition from youth to adulthood in western societies has become more prolonged and complex as traditional societal norms have lost influence. Using retrospective data from a cohort of 43-year-old Canadians surveyed in 2010 (n = 405), we mapped the timing, sequencing, and duration of ‘first stage’ youth-adult transitions (leaving home, finishing formal education, obtaining a full-time job) and ‘second stage’ youth-adult transitions (marriag…
Up, not down: The age curve in happiness from early adulthood to midlife in two longitudinal studies
Happiness is an important indicator of well-being, and little is known about how it changes in the early adult years. We examined trajectories of happiness from early adulthood to midlife in 2 Canadian longitudinal samples: high school seniors followed from ages 18-43 and university seniors followed from ages 23-37. Happiness increased into the 30s in both samples, with a slight downturn by age 43 in the high school sample. The rise in happiness …
Bottom dogs on campus: How subjective age and extrinsic self-esteem relate to affect and stress in first semester of university
The first semester of university can be a difficult transitional period that affects students' psychological well-being, and ultimately, their academic success. Personal resources and vulnerabilities that they bring to the transition may shape their day-to-day experiences. Subjective age (how old one feels) and extrinsic self-esteem (ESE; the extent to which self-worth is based on external sources) were examined as predictors of mean levels of an…
