Predicting Alcohol Use From Genome-Wide Polygenic Scores, Environmental Factors, and Their Interactions in Young Adulthood
OBJECTIVE: Alcohol use during emerging adulthood is associated with adverse life outcomes, but its risk factors are not well known. Here, we predicted alcohol use in 3153 young adults aged 22 years from a) genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) based on genome-wide association studies for the target phenotypes number of drinks per week and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores, b) 30 environmental factors, and c) their interactions (i.e., …
Breastfeeding, Early Self-Regulation, and Academic Achievement in Kindergarten Among Disadvantaged Children
Physiological substrates of imagination in early childhood
Recent research suggests that imagination, defined as engaging in behaviors or cognitions not representative of one's current reality, is related to the development of emotion regulation (ER) skills in early childhood. Yet, the underlying mechanisms responsible for driving this relationship are unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate one potential pathway through which imagination may influence ER by examining the possible physiological sub…
