Inhibitory control, a salient component of self-regulation, predicts child academic and social competency into the college years. Typical measures of self-regulation (including teacher report, direct assessment, and observation) focus on inhibitory control and are each susceptible to unique flaws. The current study examined whether informant bias or differential contextual environments...
Background: It is unclear what the long-term consequences of a trustworthy or untrustworthy face may be across adolescence and into adulthood. Some people in boys’ lives may be differentially influenced by facial trustworthiness, and those differences may partially explain discrepancies among ratings of boys’ externalizing behaviors (e.g., by mothers, fathers,...
People of all ages and ethnicities implicitly use others’ facial characteristics to evaluate their personalities. The field of person perception has identified several mechanisms through which one’s facial appearance may be associated with one’s behavior. For example, a person with an untrustworthy-looking face may elicit negative reactions from social partners,...
Introduction: People whose faces look untrustworthy tend to receive harsher social evaluations, including more severe criminal sentences. Yet little is known about how much facial trustworthiness reflects individuals’ behavioral histories. We examined whether adolescent histories of delinquency and substance use predict strangers’ perceptions of young men’s facial trustworthiness. Methods: Boys...
This report presents a nested gauging study of streamflow variability from three sub-catchments (150-200 ha in area) of the Burns Creek catchment (565 ha) in the Entiat Experimental Forest of central Washington State. We test and reject the hypothesis that headwater catchments of this size are composed of physically and...
This study investigated the influence of microwave and
broiling cooking methods on quality parameters of portion size
cuts of beef semitendinosus muscle subjected to pre-rigor
pressure treatment. The pre-rigor pressurized beef was compared
to conventionally processed portion size cuts. Juiciness,
tenderness, and flavor were evaluated by objective and
subjective tests....
A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that relationships exist between the microbiome and vertebrate health and disease. The zebrafish is a frequently utilized model organism to support this claim. Specifically, its gut microbiome is an advantageous resource for the study of microbiome health and diversity. While it is an...
While the use of powered mobility devices for young children with mobility challenges has taken off in recent years following evidence that the use of powered mobility at a young age augments other traditional mobility skill interventions, the research is still limited and focuses on physical impacts more. Recently, the...
Columbia Glacier, Alaska’s most rapidly retreating body of ice, provides a compelling insight into the fragile state of tidewater glaciers worldwide. Catastrophic retreat of the glacier’s terminal ice margin began in 1978 when contact was lost with its stabilizing terminal moraine shoal. Since this time, Columbia Glacier has lost ~20...
Previous research has associated insecure adult attachment with lower levels of pain self-efficacy within a laboratory setting. However, the external validity of these results remains unclear. This study focused on the applicability of this theory outside of a laboratory setting, specifically within the lens of exercise habits. If insecure adult...
