Never … Often? Comparisons That Shape People's Likert‐Type Ratings of Behavior Frequencies
Responses to Likert‐type behavioral frequency (LBF) questions often do not consistently map onto objective numerical estimates. Prior research suggests that social and other comparisons may underlie this divergence, but the relative influence of different comparison standards—and the cognitive processes supporting them—remains unclear. Across two studies, we examined how comparisons to peers, averages, experts, past selves, and conceptually irrel…
Liberals are less willing to buy Teslas than other electric vehicles, moderated by perceptions of Elon Musk
Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) can substantially reduce households’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In August 2023, we surveyed 633 U.S. adults about their intentions to adopt 30 GHG-reducing actions. Purchasing EVs was the most polarizing, with positive intentions among liberals and negative intentions among conservatives. Meanwhile Elon Musk, chief executive officer of EV manufacturer Tesla, has adopted a conservative public persona. We teste…

The liver toolkit – an innovative IT solution to screen patients in general practice for undiagnosed cirrhosis
Introduction: Detecting patients with undiagnosed chronic liver disease is a public health challenge. Patients with advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis have much better outcomes than those with decompensated disease and may be eligible for interventions to prevent disease progression. Methods: A cloud-based software solution (‘the liver toolkit’) was developed to access primary care practice software to identify patients at risk of chronic…
Do people desire optimism from others during a novel global crisis
During a global crisis, does the desire for good news also mean an endorsement of an optimistic bias? Five pre‐registered studies, conducted at the start of the COVID pandemic, examined people's lay prescriptions for thinking about uncertainty—specifically whether they thought forecasters should be optimistic, realistic, or pessimistic in how they estimated key likelihoods. Participants gave prescriptions for forecasters with different roles (e.g…

Thinking LGBT human rights in Guyana
Scholar Amar Wahab, co-editor of the Journal of Indentureship and Its Legacies , interviews British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller, OBE, about her perspectives on LGBT human rights in Guyana. They discuss issues related to the legacies of the colonial regulation of gender and sexuality, the inclusion of diverse identities, and collaboration with LGBT activist organizations in Guyana
Attributions for ambiguity in a treatment‐decision context can create ambiguity aversion or seeking
The phenomenon of ambiguity aversion suggests that people prefer options that offer precisely rather than imprecisely known chances of success. However, past work on people's responses to ambiguity in health treatment contexts found ambiguity seeking rather than aversion. The present work addressed whether such findings reflected a broad tendency for ambiguity seeking in health treatment contexts or whether specific attributions for ambiguity pla…
Long-term sequelae of mothers’ and fathers’ mind-mindedness in infancy
Rapidly growing research on parental mind-mindedness, a tendency to treat one's young child as a psychological agent and an individual with a mind, internal mental states, and emotions, has demonstrated significant links among parents' mind-mindedness, their parenting, and multiple aspects of children's development. This prospective longitudinal study of 102 community mothers, fathers, and infants, followed from 7 months to 10 years, contributes …
Unhealthy and unaware? Misjudging social comparative standing for health-relevant behavior
Influences on individuals’ decisions to take up the offer of a health check
BACKGROUND: Health checks are promoted to evaluate individuals' risk of developing disease and to initiate health promotion and disease prevention interventions. The NHS Health Check is a cardiovascular risk assessment programme introduced in the UK aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Uptake of health checks is lower than anticipated. This study aimed to explore influences on people's decisions to take up the offer of a health check…
Implementation of A Better Choice Healthy Food and Drink Supply Strategy for staff and visitors in government-owned health facilities in Queensland, Australia
Objective The present paper reports on a quality improvement activity examining implementation of A Better Choice Healthy Food and Drink Supply Strategy for Queensland Health Facilities (A Better Choice). A Better Choice is a policy to increase supply and promotion of healthy foods and drinks and decrease supply and promotion of energy-dense, nutrient-poor choices in all food supply areas including food outlets, staff dining rooms, vending machin…

Spatial distribution and deployment of community–based distributors implementing integrated community case management (iCCM)
AIM: In late 2012 and in conjunction with South Sudan's Ministry of Health - National Malaria Control Program, PSI (Population Services International) conducted a comprehensive mapping exercise to assess geographical coverage of its integrated community case management (iCCM) program and consider scope for expansion. The operational research was designed to provide evidence and support for low-cost mapping and monitoring systems, demonstrating th…
Systematic literature review of integrated community case management and the private sector in Africa
BACKGROUND: Despite substantial investments made over the past 40 years in low income countries, governments cannot be viewed as the principal health care provider in many countries. Evidence on the role of the private sector in the delivery of health services is becoming increasingly available. In this study, we set out to determine the extent to which the private sector has been utilized in providing integrated care for sick children under 5 ye…
Professionals’ Attitudes Regarding Large-Scale Genetic Information Generated Through Next Generation Sequencing in Research
Under the auspices of a multi-national European scientific project involving whole genome sequencing, GEUVADIS, we set out to investigate the attitudes of the participating scientists of having their own genome sequenced. The views of such researchers on this subject have not been fully explored before and we utilized questionnaires and discussion groups to elicit their opinions. Many said that it was the first time that they had an opportunity t…

Economic importance and statistical significance
A critical objective for many empirical studies is a thorough evaluation of both substantive importance and statistical significance. Feminist economists have critiqued neoclassical economics studies for an excessive focus on statistical machinery at the expense of substantive issues. Drawing from the ongoing debate about the rhetoric of economic inquiry and significance tests, this paper examines approaches for presenting empirical results effec…
Gods with a limited budget
Resources in healthcare are under strain not only because of increasingly expensive treatment options, but because the definition of health is evolving. For the purpose of resource allocation, definitional boundaries of health are arbitrary and unhelpful. Since biological health combines with mental and societal health to constitute overall quality of life, this very quality ought to inform resource allocation in all relevant areas of public spen…

Factors associated with inpatient length of stay for children and adolescents with serious mental illness
This study describes the distribution and length of stay (LOS) for children and adolescents in inpatient psychiatric facilities and identifies factors associated with LOS. The data are from the 1986 Client/Patient Sample Survey, a nationally representative survey conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health. The median national LOS, weighted to population levels, is more than two months for children compared with approximately two and one…

Birth spacing and child mortality in bangladesh and the Philippines
This analysis uses data from Bangladesh and the Philippines to demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are 60 to 80% more likely than other children to die in the first two years of life, once the confounding effects of prematurity are removed. The risks associated with short conception intervals are confined to children who are also high birth order; they persist in the presence of controls for prior familial…
Is the Relationship Between Birth Intervals and Perinatal Mortality Spurious? Evidence From Hungary and Sweden
Data from Hungary and Sweden are used to investigate the extent to which prematurity confounds the relationship between length of preceding birth interval and perinatal mortality. Controlling for length of gestation removes between 65 and 90 per cent of the excess mortality associated with birth intervals of less than 18 months; however, mortality among infants who are born less than 18 months after the birth of their previous sibling is still hi…

Poverty History, Marital History, and Quality of Children's Home Environments
Analyses of the consequences of poverty often treat poor children as a single, homogeneous group. We study relations among depth or timing of poverty, mother's marital history, and quality of the home environment for children aged 6-9, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. HOME scores increased markedly with income up to three times the poverty line, particularly for cognitive stimulation. The benefits of having a married mot…
Unraveling the mysteries of gender differences in intentions to leave the organization
The anticipated labor shortages of the 1990's will intensify organizational needs to retain their existing employees. Women represent an increasingly important segment of the labor force and their turnover rates are thought to exceed men's. Earlier studies of turnover and its psychological antecedent, the behavioral intention to leave, suggest that work‐related factors may contribute to women's relatively higher turnover rates. The current paper …

Determinants of intrauterine growth retardation
This analysis examines the relationship between length of preceding birth interval and risk of intrauterine growth retardation using data on Swedish infants from the 1973 World Health Organization study of perinatal mortality. Results of a multivariate logit analysis demonstrate that the lower than average mean birth weight of infants born after short birth intervals cannot be completely attributed to their shorter mean gestation length. Infants …
Do reproductive patterns affect maternal nutritional status
Poor pregnancy outcomes in developing countries have often been blamed on maternal depletion or on the cumulative nutritional drain of many closely spaced pregnancies. Despite its widespread acceptance, the maternal depletion hypothesis remains unproven. This study examines nutritional status and fertility history for 873 women in highland Lesotho. Parity, age, pregnancy status, length of last closed birth interval, open interval, and median birt…

Seductions
In looking at the complex relation of women to culture and literature, and to theory and politics, and in recalling her own coming to feminism, the author asks how women experience themselves within ideas and traditions which simultaneously include and exclude them, take their presence for granted and deny it - seducing in short. She examines the work of Raymond Williams and his curious banishment of women from politics and even from history; Edw…
An evaluation of survey data on birthweight and prematurity status
The 1986 experimental Demographic and Health Survey in the Dominican Republic was one of the first retrospective, population-based surveys of a developing country to collect information on prematurity status as well as birthweight. We show that the relationships among birthweight, prematurity status, and infant mortality are consistent with corresponding patterns observed in other Latin American and Caribbean countries and in developed nations. T…
Birth order, interpregnancy interval and birth outcomes among Filipino infants
This study examines the effects of birth order and interpregnancy interval on birthweight, gestational age, weight-for-gestational age, infant length, and weight-for-length in a sample of 2063 births from a longitudinal study in the Philippines. First births are the most disadvantaged of any birth order/spacing group. The risks associated with short intervals (
Comment on James Gribble's ‘Birth Intervals, Gestational Age, and Low Birth Weight
James Gribble in a March 1993 article used data from the Mexican Social Security System to investigate whether the excess risks of low birth weight among infants born after short birth intervals were the result of confounding by gestation. One objective of his research was to reconcile differences in the conclusions drawn by John Hobcraft et al based upon their analyses of data from more than three dozen countries in the World Fertility Surveys w…
Lactation, seasonality, and mother's postpartum weight change in Bangladesh
Longitudinally collected data from rural Bangladesh was used to investigate the effects of lactation, reproductive patterns, and seasonality on maternal weight and postpartum weight change. Results of multivariate analyses demonstrate that weight change exhibits a strong seasonal pattern, with losses in winter (December through March) and the rainy season (July through November) and gains in other months. The rate of weight loss peaks between 5 a…
