Safety is essential for life. To survive, humans and other animals have developed sets of psychological physiological adaptations known as life history (LH) tradeoff strategies in response to various safety constraints. Evolutionarily selected LH turn regulate development behavior optimize survival under prevailing conditions. The present study tested hypotheses concerning based on a 6-year longitudinal sample 1,245 adolescents their parents from 9 countries. results revealed that, invariant...
Men’s mate values are defined based on three broad categories— good genes, providers, both of which selected early across the animal kingdom, and fathers that represent last pedigree primate evolution may have contributed to human development modernity gender equality. Women select long-term mates these 3 values, women’s preference over them depends prevailing ecological conditions. Based 4 samples comprising a total 1,257 Chinese women, we found women in general those with high...
Cultural evolutionary models have identified a range of conditions under which social learning (copying others) is predicted to be adaptive relative asocial (learning on one's own), particularly in humans where socially learned information can accumulate over successive generations. However, cultural evolution and behavioural economics experiments consistently shown apparently maladaptive under-utilization Western populations. Here we provide experimental evidence variation people's use...
The authors report a semistructured interview of 328 urban Chinese parents regarding their parenting beliefs and practices with respect to only children. Statistical analyses the coded parental interviews peer nomination data from children show none traditional or child behaviors that have been widely reported in literature. China was predominantly authoritative rather than authoritarian. strategies were child-centered, egalitarian, warmth-oriented control-oriented. encouraged prosocial...
A conflict of interest between the sexes prevents optimal parental investment in parents monogamous species.Most notably biparental birds, invest their young according to mate value, with parent higher (lower) value reducing (increasing) investment.We tested similar hypotheses a sample 408 married couples children.The results showed that, for both men and women (but more than women), warmth care correlated negatively extent which good-gene good-provider values compared favorably those peers...
Background: Dementia caregiving is often associated with increase in depressive symptoms and strained relationships. This study tested whether telephone-delivered psychoeducation combined an enhanced behavioral activation (BA) module had a better effect on the well-being of Alzheimer's caregivers than alone. The focus enhancing competent use coping skills via BA. program delivered by telephone to accessibility sustainability for caregivers. Senior citizens are trained as paraprofessionals...
Abstract Within the evolutionary life history (LH) framework, aggression and risk‐taking are adaptive implementations of a fast LH strategy to adapt environmental unsafety unpredictability. Based on longitudinal sample 198 Chinese adolescents living in rural areas, half whom were separated from their parents, this study tested hypotheses about relation safety constraints childhood environments. The results showed that proxies unpredictability, including parental separation, positively...
Objective To explore the developmental trajectory of sleep disturbance in geriatric oncology inpatients and assess impact locomotive syndrome (LS) on this trajectory. Methods This longitudinal study enrolled 284 through convenience sampling from August 2023 to February 2024 at Oncology Center Affiliated Hospital Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. Sleep quality was monitored for seven days following admission (T0-T6) using a wrist motion analyzer. The analyzed latent category...
<title>Abstract</title> In this study, we examined determinants of health fitness and physical activity levels in 372 patients with lung cancer undergoing their first chemotherapy at a tertiary hospital Wuxi, China, impact on quality life (QoL). Standardized measures were used to asses body composition, muscular function, cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility. Physical was measured using the International Activity Questionnaire, QoL evaluated European Organisation for Research Treatment...
A longitudinal study and a training were conducted to show that simply referring others facilitated theory of mind (ToM) development in Chinese children. In Study 1, 3- 4-year-old children (N = 52) tested on ToM autobiographical memory (AM). One year later, the group who initially failed false belief tasks, only those increased their references AM recall passed tasks. 2, preschoolers trained talk about through storytelling showed improvement performance. These findings suggest alternative...
Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. In our previous research, we discovered several new TrxR1 inhibitors and found that they all have excellent anti-tumor activity. At the same time, these lead to an increase in AKT phosphorylation cells, but detailed role of inhibitor-mediated cell death remains unclear. this study, identified combination inhibitor displayed strong synergistic effect colon cells. Furthermore, demonstrated auranofin (TrxR1...
Abstract Objective This study aims to explore the mediating role of parental reflective functioning (PRF) and sense competence (PSC) in effect romantic attachment on harsh discipline among Chinese parents young children through both variable‐ person‐centered approaches. Background Harsh is a negative parenting practice that has detrimental impacts children. Evidence showed parents' insecure may contribute use discipline, whereas psychological mechanism underlying this association remains...
Background To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of patients with gastric cancer (GC) toward nutritional therapy. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2024 at Affiliated Hospital Jiangnan University (Wuxi, China) enrolled GC. Questionnaires (Cronbach’s α = 0.923) were used collect data on demographics KAP dimensions. Scores &gt;75% considered good. Multivariable analyses performed examine factors associated KAP. A structural equation...
The external environment has traditionally been considered as the primary driver of animal life history (LH). Recent research suggests that animals' internal state is also involved, especially in forming LH behavioural phenotypes. present study investigated how these two factors interact formulating humans. Based on a longitudinal sample 1223 adolescents nine countries, results show harsh and unpredictable environments adverse states childhood are each uniquely associated with fast profiles...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has brought about healthcare, economic, and psychological crises around the world. impact on adolescents is likely going to be uneven across different societies, as cultures vary in terms of their dominant learning style that may influence how people cope with uncertainty perceive sense control. We postulate for individualistic where individual prevails, control might undermined by societal disease‐control regulations restrict personal...
Questions about origins of human warfare continue to generate interesting theories with little empirical evidence. One the proposed explanations is sexual selection theory. Within and supportive this theoretical framework, authors demonstrate a mating—warring association among young heterosexual men in four experiments. Male, but not female, participants exposed attractive, as compared unattractive, opposite-sex photographs were significantly more likely endorse war-supporting statements on...
Because women's faces and bodies carry different cues of reproductive value, men may attend to perceptual as functions their long-term versus short-term mating motivations. We tested this hypothesis in three experiments on 135 male 132 female participants. When influenced by rather than motivations, men's attention was captured (Study 1), shifted 2), distracted 3) the waist/hip area face photographs attractive women. Similar effects were not found among participants response men. These...
The COVID‐19 pandemic is but one of many instances environmental adversities that have recurred in human history. Biobehavioral resource allocation strategies, known as fast (reproduction‐focused) versus slow (development‐focused) life history (LH) tradeoff evolved to deal with challenges such infectious diseases. Based on 141 young people and their mothers observed prior (ages 9 13) during (age 20) COVID‐19, we investigated longitudinal relations involving LH strategies. results support the...
One species-general life history (LH) principle posits that challenging childhood environments are coupled with a fast or faster LH strategy and associated behaviors, while secure stable foster behaviors conducive to slow slower strategy. This coupling between strategies is based on the assumption individuals' internal traits states independent of their external surroundings. In reality, individuals respond environmental conditions in alignment intrinsic vitality, encompassing both physical...
