... The discounting paradigm has been challenged by an increasing number of studies presenting qualitative variations in the individual discount function. Particularly, the subjective value of a loss does not necessarily systematically decrease with delay to the outcome. Qualitative variation refers to variations in shape rather than steepness of the discount function, such as positive discounting, ze ...

Abstract:
... The present study primarily aimed to investigate the interactive effect of chronotype and time of day on adolescent’s emotional states. Chronotype influences behaviour throughout the day, with variables such as mood exhibiting circadian rhythmicity. We also considered the influence of potential covariates, such as sleep variables and psychopathological symptoms. A total of 190 8ᵗʰ-grade students ( ...

... This study aimed to examine the anthropometric measurements of adolescents between the ages of 10 and 13, and to determine the BMI-for-age-based neck circumference (NC) and BMI-for-age-based mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) cut-off points for this age group. This methodological study was conducted with 626 students of early adolescent age in Kırklareli in Turkey. The cut-off values of BMI-for-ag ...

Abstract:
... Morningness/Eveningness (M/E) is an attribute related to adolescent mental and physical health. The Morningness/Eveningness Scale for Children (MESC) is a widely used instrument for measuring M/E in adolescents. In this study, an Spanish translation of the MESC was adapted to the Río de la Plata population. A psychometric study was carried out in a sample of 368 Uruguayan adolescents (63.6% female ...

Abstract:
... Appetite traits have multifactorial origins. In association with environmental and genetic factors, they could become problematic and lead to Feeding or Eating Disorders (FED). As the DSM-5 classification is not suitable for pediatric FED, another way to describe eating behavior is to distinguish the clinical profiles of "small eater" and "big eater". The aim of this study was to identify socio-de ...

Abstract:
... The present study focused on an in-depth analysis of adolescents’ (aged 15–16) attitudes towards animal experimentation. Focus group interviews were conducted to gain a deeper understanding regarding the ethical considerations of this age group. The data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. All participants considered their own knowledge about the whole topic as low. Our results sho ...

Abstract:
... People evaluate products based on cues that are easily available to them (e.g., product packaging). Textual elements, such as nutrition claims, and visual elements, such as imagery, are often used to give products a favorable image. It is important to find out how these elements shape consumers’ ideas about the product, for instance in terms of healthiness, naturalness and taste. This is especiall ...

RECENT FINDINGS : After searching PubMed and the Web of Science, 26 articles comprised the prevalence and/or determinants of concurrent stunting and overweight/obesity. Most of the articles were published from 2018 onwards. There is great variati ...

Abstract:
... Snacking contributes significantly to U.S. adolescents’ dietary intake and is a particularly significant eating occasion for urban adolescents, who have high amounts of food autonomy and access to corner stores. Consequently, research has focused on understanding and improving snacking among urban adolescents. However, the word “snack” possesses several definitions in the literature, leading to in ...

Abstract:
... Centered on the Basic Psychological Needs Theory, recent theoretical underpinnings were used and initial empirical processes were initiated to conceptualize, develop and validate a new questionnaire about how teachers shape instructional goals. In a first exploratory study, 188 university graduates and 211 in-service teachers from both the general and special education domains were recruited to re ...

... Little is known about how adolescent best friends may affect each other's food intake. This study explored whether friendship selection and socialization mechanisms explained potential food intake similarities in adolescent reciprocated best friend dyads. We also tested whether socialization processes were moderated by dyad member's relative zBMI. Members of 145 same-gender best friendship dyads ( ...

... BACKGROUND: Traditional food marketing, mostly involving advertisement of nutrient poor and energy dense foods, has the effect of enhancing attitudes, preferences, and increasing intake of marketed foods in adolescents, with detrimental consequences for health. While the use of social media applications in adolescents has proliferated, little is known about the content of food promotions within th ...

Abstract:
... In wild primates, infanticide is a risk that is especially prevalent when a new male takes over the alpha position. Insight into risk factors related to infanticide may decrease the incidence of infanticide in captivity during male introductions. We investigated several risk factors of infanticide derived from hypotheses explaining infanticide in the wild and tested this in captive long-tailed mac ...

Abstract:
... Menstruation among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) can be marked by several challenges that often result in exclusion from social activities. Information regarding this subject matter is however sparse in Ghana. This study examined the rural-urban differences in prevalence and correlates of exclusion from social activities due to menstruation among AGYW in Ghana. The study used cross-secti ...

Abstract:
... Delay discounting, time perspective, and self-schemas are well-known predictors of health risk behaviors among adolescents. However, the associations between these constructs and their influence on such behaviors are yet to be examined. This study aimed to determine the relationships among three cognitive constructs, namely, delay discounting, time perspective, and self-schemas, and determine the ...

... Cognitive insight (CI), the ability to perceive erroneous beliefs and correcting them based on safe experiences, is a common cognitive manifestation among schizophrenic individuals. Even though the functional morphology of the default mode network (DMN), the central executive network (CEN) and the salience network (SN) differs between non-schizophrenic and schizophrenic individuals, it is unclear ...

Abstract:
... School climate is one of several important factors influencing adolescent well-being and life satisfaction. Although a growing number of studies investigate the role of school climate, they often apply a global scale and only a few of them measure any specific elements. Likewise, most studies are focused on well-being and not life satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate how diffe ...

... Depression affects one in five persons at 18 years of age. Allele A of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) rs6265 is considered to be a risk factor for depression. Previous studies of the interaction between BDNF rs6265, early adversity, and/or physical activity have shown mixed results. In this study, we explored the relation between BDNF rs6265 polymorphism and childhood stress, as well ...
