  • Using Latent Class Analysis to Characterize Sickness Signaling in Relation to Familism and Public and Private Religiosity in a Stratified US Sample

    Open AccessTanvi Padalkar, Jessica K Perrotte et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2024

    BACKGROUND: In response to contracting an infection, individuals usually display a suite of external signs (including sickness behavior) as an outward indication of illness. This context-dependent phenomenon seems to weigh the benefits and costs of eliciting sympathy by indicating sickness versus hiding signs of illness to avoid exposing others to potential infection. In a dynamically social species like humans, non-kin may be as likely to respon…

  • Toward understanding and enhancing self-determination

    Open AccessSandy Thompson‐Hodgetts, Sandy Thompson-Hodgetts et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

Although individualized support was discussed, the ideal desired support was for an inclusive society that values and respects their neurodivergence, rather than imposing ableist expectations. An inclusive society is only achievable through reduc…
