Selection and use of vegetable parenting practices did not vary by parent feeding styles: Mixed methods investigation
Vegetable parenting practices vary by feeding styles among middle class mothers of young children
Caregiver Influences on Eating Behaviors in Young Children: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
A substantial body of research suggests that efforts to prevent pediatric obesity may benefit from targeting not just what a child eats, but how they eat. Specifically, child obesity prevention should include a component that addresses reasons why children have differing abilities to start and stop eating in response to internal cues of hunger and satiety, a construct known as eating self‐regulation . This review summarizes current knowledge rega…
Macro and micro sleep architecture and cognitive performance in older adults
New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders
Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Alcohol consumption is a heritable complex trait. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of gram/day (g/d) alcohol consumption in UK-Biobank, AlcGen and CHARGE+ consortia accumulating 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake. We identified 46 novel, common loci, and investigate…
Observations of Toddlers' sensory-based exploratory behaviors with a novel food
Activity level in the lab: Overlap with shyness indicates it is more than pure motoric activity
The observation that children's activity level (AL) differs between novel and familiar situations is well established. What influences individual differences in how AL is different across these situations is less well understood. Drawing on animal literature, which links rats' AL when 1st placed in a novel setting with novelty seeking phenotypes, and child temperament literature, which links AL, novelty response, and shyness, we hypothesized that…
Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses
Poor Adherence to US Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Population
Rethinking shared environment as a source of variance underlying attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms: Comment on Burt (2009)
Burt (2009) recently published a meta-analysis of twin studies on behaviors associated with childhood psychopathologies, concluding that the finding that traits associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were the only behaviors that did not show a significant influence of shared environment (C) was surprising. We agree, highlighting four methodological issues that may account for this finding: (a) the use of nonlinear transfo…
Professional Oversight of Expert Testimony Austin v American Association of Neurological Surgeons
Introduction Neurosurgeon Donald Austin was suspended for 6 months by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), a voluntary medical association. AANS gave as cause for the suspension Austin's irresponsible testimony while serving as an expert witness. Austin sued AANS for violation of his due process rights, claiming that AANS had vengefully suspended him after he testified as an expert witness on behalf of a patient in a medical …
