Heterogeneity of Effects in a Prosociality‐Based Intervention to Reduce Loneliness and Increase Social Contact
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the effects of an act of kindness intervention on increasing daily social contact and reducing loneliness among community adults experiencing loneliness. It also explores heterogeneity in effects and potential moderators, including individual differences in baseline social health and intervention implementation. METHOD: In a randomized controlled trial, 208 adults were randomly assigned to perform daily acts of kin…

Mixed-gender anxiety and gender-based relationship efficacy: A cross-lagged study of single-sex versus coeducational schooling bridging high school graduation
How psychopathic traits affect individuals’ trust decisions and outcome evaluations: Preliminary ERP evidence
Individuals with psychopathic traits exhibit a range of maladaptive manifestations, including self-centeredness, interpersonal manipulation, and decline to cooperate. Such individuals may have an antagonistic relationship with trust, which may, in turn, affect their behavioral choices. However, it remains unclear how individuals with psychopathic traits make decisions about trusting strangers. To address this gap, 44 healthy participants were sel…

A long-term prospective cross-lagged study of gender-typed play and mental transformation in children
Gender-typed play may contribute to gender disparities in spatial skills, but evidence of this link is limited. Gender-typed play and mental transformation, an important spatial skill, were studied using age-appropriate and comprehensive measures. Chinese children were tested at 5–6 years and at 11–14 years (N = 210), creating a long-term data set considering bidirectional associations. Play and mental transformation showed moderate to large gend…
Changed pattern of physical activity and energy expenditure among mid-pregnancy women during China's Covid-19 lockdown: A cross-sectional study
This study examines the physical activity (PA) patterns and energy expenditure of Chinese pregnant women during the COVID-19 lockdown, their influencing factors, and explores potential improvement strategies. A survey using the Chinese version of the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) was conducted among 610 women in their second trimester. It compared their PA patterns and energy expenditure during the lockdown with pre-pandemic le…

Predictors of attitudes toward potentially having a lesbian, gay, or bisexual child among Chinese heterosexual adults
Parental acceptance is a robust protective factor for lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) individuals' mental health, yet its predictors have not been frequently studied in China. The present study examined predictors of Chinese heterosexual adults' attitudes toward potentially having an LGB child. Participants were 700 Chinese nationals (37.6% women and 62.4% men) aged 18–64 who identified as exclusively heterosexual and did not have an LGB child. W…

Predictors and Mental Health Benefits of Chosen Name Use Among Transgender Youth
Chosen name use among transgender youth (youth whose gender identities are different from their sex assigned at birth) can be part of the complex process of aligning gender presentation with gender identity and can promote mental health. However, little is known about the factors that predict whether or not transgender youth have a chosen name and outcomes of chosen name use, especially in specific social contexts. We examined, among a sample of …
Investigating site-level longitudinal effects of population health interventions: Gay-Straight Alliances and school safety
There is limited research on evaluating nonrandomized population health interventions. We aimed to introduce a new approach for assessing site-level longitudinal effects of population health interventions (SLEPHI) by innovatively applying multiple group multilevel (MG-ML) modeling to repeated cycles of cross-sectional data collected from different individuals of the same sites at different times, a design commonly employed in public health resear…
Sexual Experimentation in Heterosexual, Bisexual, Lesbian/Gay, and Questioning Adolescents From Ages 11 to 15
To examine adolescent sexuality development, we analyzed data from a British cohort study (N = 5,070), which assessed the same 12-14 sexual activities at ages 11, 12, 13, and 15, and sexual orientation identity at age 15. The sexual activities ranged from low (e.g., cuddling), moderate (e.g., kissing), to high (e.g., sexual intercourse) intensity. We found that most adolescents having sexual activities of low-to-moderate intensity with same-sex i…

Preschool Gender-Typed Play Behavior at Age 3.5 Years Predicts Physical Aggression at Age 13 Years
Gender differences in play behavior and physical aggression have been consistently reported. Theoretical perspectives concerning evolutionary, social, and social-cognitive mechanisms suggest that male-typical play behavior during childhood increases subsequent physical aggression. The evidence supporting these connections is limited, however. The present study investigated the association between gender-typed play behavior in early childhood and …
Childhood gender-typed behavior and adolescent sexual orientation: A longitudinal population-based study
Lesbian and gay individuals have been reported to show more interest in other-sex, and/or less interest in same-sex, toys, playmates, and activities in childhood than heterosexual counterparts. Yet, most of the relevant evidence comes from retrospective studies or from prospective studies of clinically referred, extremely gender nonconforming children. In addition, findings are mixed regarding the relation between childhood gender-typed behavior …
Depression and Sexual Orientation During Young Adulthood: Diversity Among Sexual Minority Subgroups and the Role of Gender Nonconformity
In Search of Emerging Same-Sex Sexuality: Romantic Attractions at Age 13 Years
Sex-typed behavior in childhood is significantly related to sexual orientation in adulthood. In addition, same-sex attractions in early adolescence are more non-exclusive than in adulthood and can differ from later same-sex orientations. However, little research has focused on romantic attractions as they emerge during early adolescence. Drawing a sample from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (197 girls, 204 boys), the current s…

摘要: 本文通过两个研究探讨道德自我调节对亲社会行为和违规行为的影响。研究一中, 被试随机分为三组, 分别抄写"正性特质词语" "负性特质词语"或"中性词语", 并回忆自己所经历的与关键词有关的事情。启动完成后, 考察其捐助行为。结果发现, 正性特质启动组被试愿意捐助的数目显著高于负性特质和中性词语启动组。研究二用同样的方法改变被试的道德自我知觉, 然后对被试的作弊行为进行了考察。结果发现, 正性特质启动组的作弊严重程度显著低于中性词语启动组, 负性特质启动组的作弊发生率和作弊严重程度显著低于中性词语启动组。本研究表明, 道德自我调节过程不一定遵循负反馈机制:虽然"道德净化效应"在本研究中得到了部分验证, 但是我们的实验结果不符合"道德许可效应"的预期
