Genetic and Familial Influences on Self-Perception in Early Childhood and Self-Esteem in Adulthood: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Self-perception in early childhood and self-esteem in adulthood are related to a variety of aspects of psychological wellbeing. The goal of the present study was to examine genetic and familial influences on self-perception and self-esteem in separate samples of children (153 twin pairs of 5-year-olds) and adults (753 twin pairs between the ages of 25-75 years). Genetic common factor modeling showed that three facets of self-perception (physical competence, peer acceptance, and maternal acceptance) loaded onto a single heritable factor in children. Multilevel modeling showed no effects of self or co-twin sex on self-perception, but authoritative parenting style was negatively related to self-perception in boys. Similarly, in Study 2, with the adult sample, five self-esteem items loaded on a single heritable factor with no effects of co-twin sex on adult self-esteem. Remembered maternal affection, paternal affection, and maternal discipline were positively related to self-esteem in adults; maternal affection was especially significant for women. The reversal in direction of parenting effects between early childhood and adulthood suggests that parents may play different roles in shaping how children and adults think of themselves. These results suggest that self-perception in childhood and self-esteem in adulthood are both influenced by genetic and environmental factors and that parenting is an important environmental factor for both children and adults.

Soft-capsule formulation of a re-esterified triglyceride omega-3 employing self-emulsifying technology and bioavailability evaluation in healthy volunteers

Despite the superior clinical efficacy of the re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form compared to the ethylester form, few studies have been conducted on improving the bioavailability of the rTG form of omega-3 oil. The aim of study was to evaluate the effect of self emulsifying formulation on the improvement of bioavailability of rTG form of omega-3 oil.To develop a re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) soft capsule, an rTG-loaded self-emulsifying delivery system (SEDS) was designed using coconut oil, polysorbate 80, and lecithin. Candidate formulations were designed from a phase-diagram study and optimal SEDS formulations containing 85% of high omega-3 (ω−3) oils were screened from the evaluation of droplet size distribution, measurement of oil floating area and emulsion turbidity. The selected, optimized rTG SEDS formulation was filled into a soft capsule (NOVASEDS) and applied to a sequence-randomized, double-blind, single-dose, and two-way crossover clinical study (n = 44), and the the bioavailability of NOVASEDS was compared with that of a ‘raw’ rTG capsule (rTG OMEGA3) as control. The droplet size (D50) formed from the candidate formulations was approximately 30–45 μm, and the optimal formulation showed a unimodal particle distribution with the smallest oil floating area and small changes in turbidity after 24 h. Cmax and AUC from 0 to 24 h for NOVASEDS, calculated from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and as the sum of DHA and EPA, were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than corresponding values for rTG OMEGA3. In conclusion, NOVASEDS formulated by SEDS technology enabled the manufacture of a high rTG payload soft capsule with improved bioavailability in human subjects.

The effectiveness of self: A meta-analysis of using self-referential encoding techniques in education.

Self-related information is difficult to ignore and forget, which brings valuable implications for educational practice. Self-referential encoding techniques involve integrating self-referencing cues during the processing of learning material. However, the evidence base and effective implementation boundaries for these techniques in teaching and learning remain uncertain due to research variability. The present meta-analysis aims to quantitatively synthesize the results from studies applying self-referential encoding techniques in education. The analysis was based on data from 20 independent samples, including 1082 students from 13 primary studies identified through a systematic literature search. Results from random effect models show that incorporating self-referential encoding techniques improved learning (g = .40, 95% CI [.18, .62]). Subgroup analysis showed that the valence of learning material serves as a significant boundary condition for this strategy. The students' cohorts, types of learning materials, and research context did not moderate the effect sizes. Our results suggest that incorporating self-referential encoding techniques on negative materials shows an aversive effect. Overall, there is a universal benefit to using self-referential encoding techniques as an appropriate design guideline in educational contexts. Implications for teaching practice and future directions are discussed. Further studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness in more diverse educational and teaching situations.

Threat effects on cognitive systems: Testing links to aggression proneness.

The biobehavioral study of aggression has implications for expanding our understanding of transdiagnostic processes that increase risk for disinhibited behaviors. Toward this end, our study tested tenets from the process model of aggression (Verona & Bresin, 2015). First, we expected that the predictability of threat would differentially alter cognitive networks, including attentional alerting and executive control. Second, we examined the moderating effects of self- and informant reports of aggression on threat-related changes in cognitive functioning. Using event-related potential (ERP) measures of cognitive-attentional processes, 143 community individuals participated in a well-validated and translational threat manipulation (NPU) task (Schmitz & Grillon, 2012) while completing the Attention Network Test (Fan et al., 2002). Analyses revealed that relatively unpredictable threat quickened alerting-related reaction time, whereas predictable threat interfered with processing of flanker task stimuli. The results, however, failed to show reliable relationships between aggression proneness and threat-related cognitive alterations. The findings fit with a broader literature on cognitive and behavioral outputs of threat activation and provide fruitful avenues for better understanding threat-related aggression.

Association Between Self- and Proxy-Reported Depression and Quality of Life in Mild-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

Prior studies have reported an association between depression and quality of life (QOL) in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the effect of self- versus proxy rating of mood and QOL has not been described. In this secondary analysis of data from a cohort study, the authors used a linear mixed-effects model to determine if the association between depression and QOL is affected by whether both measures are assessed by the same member of the patient-caregiver dyad. Participants and caregiver informants were recruited from 10 California Alzheimer Disease Centers. A total of 137 participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. Self- and proxy-rated scores on both the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease scale (QoL-AD). Multivariable linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate the association between depression and QOL. Results of the multivariable linear mixed-effects models showed a significant association between self-rated QoL-AD and self-rated (B=-0.49, p <0.0001) but not proxy-rated GDS (B=-0.07, p=0.19) after adjusting for confounders. Likewise, there was a significant association between proxy-rated QoL-AD and proxy-rated GDS (B=-0.48, p <0.0001) but not self-rated GDS (B=0.05, p=0.36). Depression was associated with QOL in AD over short-term longitudinal follow-up, but the association was not statistically significant if both instruments are not administered to the same member of the patient-caregiver dyad. The choice of self- versus proxy-reported QOL should be intentionally considered in future studies as it may influence reported outcomes.

The role of parent brand creating loyalty and acceptance toward premium extended wine brand: a cross-national study

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the key characteristics of parent brands and the relationships among customer perceived value (a second-order construct containing financial, functional, individual and social attributes), parent brand loyalty and the willingness to pay for a premium extended brand. Moreover, the moderating effect of self–brand integration on the influences in the model is examined.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in two countries, the USA (n = 535) and China (n = 511), through an online survey. Structural equation modeling and a multi-group analysis were used to analyze the data.FindingsThe results show that perceived quality and premium brand authenticity are two important predictors of perceived value. The relationships among perceived value, parent brand loyalty and willingness to pay for an extended premium brand were significantly supported. In addition, self–brand integration was found to moderate the relationship between perceived value and loyalty to the parent brand.Practical implicationsWine marketers and managers can use recommendations to establish effective brand extension strategies to help the industry know what essential characteristics of a parent brand to focus on and maintain sustainable development through the customer–extended brand relationship.Originality/valuePrevious researchers have discussed wine consumption behaviors or branding strategies. By limiting combining two theories (flow theory and the theory of planned behavior), this paper proposes a chain of behaviors to optimize customer experience to develop a brand extension strategy based on key characteristics of the parent brand.

A Window to What We Missed: Effects of Self- versus Other-Exclusion on Social Media Users’ Fundamental Needs, Emotional Responses, and Online Coping Behaviors

ABSTRACT The present paper investigates the psychological and behavioral responses postulated within the Temporal Need-Threat Model of a specific form of social exclusion: Not being included in other users’ social media posts. Across two experiments (N Total = 563), we distinguished two reasons for this aversive experience: (a) Voluntarily choosing not to engage in the activity being displayed in the post (i.e. self-exclusion); (b) not being invited to this activity (i.e. other-exclusion). Compared to the inclusion condition, being excluded was – for both reasons – associated with threatened needs and impaired emotional responses. As hypothesized, these detrimental effects were more pronounced for other- than for self-exclusion. Concerning coping behavior, we found that self-excluded users more frequently behaved in a prosocial way, whereas those who were excluded by others performed more withdrawal behavior. Depending on self- versus other-exclusion, different coping behaviors were more versus less effective in restoring needs and regulating emotions.

Leverage self‐ and other‐compassion to prevent the abuse trickle‐down

SummaryAlthough previous research has shown that abuse can trickle down from managers to supervisors, it remains unclear why many abused supervisors do not perpetuate the abuse of their subordinates. To address this issue, drawing upon frustration‐aggression and self‐regulation theory, the current research investigated the underlying mechanism of frustration and the mitigative effects of self‐ and other‐compassion in the manager abuse—supervisor frustration—supervisor abuse circle. Across two field studies (a time‐lagged survey study,N = 381, and an experience sampling study,N = 66, with 593 daily observations), we find support for our arguments at both between‐ and within‐person levels. Our findings support that there is a positive indirect relationship between manager abuse and supervisor abuse via supervisor frustration and that the indirect effect is weaker among supervisors who possess higher levels of self‐ and other‐compassion. We discuss the implications for theory and human resource practice.

Thus, the higher the self-commitment and self-motivation of a teacher, the higher the tacher’s performance.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

Agency appraisal of emotions and brand trust

PurposeThis study aims to examine how the appraisal of both incidental and direct positive other-agency emotions (vs self-agency emotions) enhances brand trust and, subsequently, brand attitudes.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents three experiments that examine the effect of other-agency emotions (vs self-agency emotions) on brand trust and brand attitudes by both Australian and USA consumers. Studies 1 and 2 compared the effect of self- and other-agency emotions evoked through an irrelevant reflective task. Study 3 used real-world marketing communication to evoke self- or other-pride.FindingsGratitude (Study 1) and other-pride (Study 2) evoked through an irrelevant, reflective task enhanced brand trust and attitudes for both familiar and unfamiliar brands. The authors replicated these effects using marketing communications that evoked other-pride (Study 3) and showed how these findings can be applied in a marketing context.Research limitations/implicationsThere are contradictory findings in the literature on how positive emotions influence brand trust and attitudes. The findings show that other-agency appraisal is a crucial appraisal within a marketing context and reveals why not all positively valenced emotions increase brand trust and brand attitudes. The findings highlight the importance of examining the effects of emotions on brand trust and attitudes beyond the consideration of their valence.Practical implicationsThe research provides significant implications for marketers to improve brand trust and brand attitudes through the elicitation of other-agency emotions. The findings also demonstrate that different components of emotions, such as appraisal structure, may influence consumer trust and attitudes towards marketing and branding communications.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is the first to empirically demonstrate how other-agency appraisals of emotions can influence consumer brand trust and attitudes in a marketing context.

The effect of self and peer assessment training on stoma care skills of nursing students: A randomised controlled experimental study

BackgroundIn nursing education, it is important to acquire and assess psychomotor skills. Traditional assessment and evaluation methods are outcome-oriented and educator-centred. In education, there is a greater need for the use of process-oriented and student-oriented complementary assessment methods. AimThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of self and peer assessment training given to nursing students on stoma care skill success. MethodsThis study was conducted using a randomised controlled experimental design model. The sample consisted of a total of 53 students (27 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group). The data were collected using the Information Form, the Stoma Care Skill Rubric, the View Scale for Peer and Self Assessment and the Impression Scale for the Peer and Self Assessment. The intervention group received a training on self and peer assessment. The students were trained on stoma care and they were asked to practice stoma care. The applications were recorded on video. At the end of application, each student in both the intervention and control groups was assessed by himself, his peers and the educator. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Shapiro-Wilk, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyse the data. ResultsNo difference was found in the stoma care skill scores in the intervention and control groups at the end of stoma care practice. When the stoma care skill scores were examined within the group, there was a significant difference between the self assessment scores and the peer, educator and self-assessment-video watching scores in both groups. No difference was observed between the self assessment-video watching scores and the peer and educator scores. In the intervention and control groups, the scores of the view scale for the peer and self assessment and the scores of the impression scale for the peer and self assessment increased, but there was no significant difference between them. The students stated that they intended to use the self and peer assessment method in other skills as well since it enabled them to notice its mistakes and helped them learn the skill better. ConclusionsIt is recommended that the use of self and peer assessment methods be expanded in nursing education during skill acquisition and assessment practices. It is thought that using video recording, scales, or rubrics in conjunction with these methods would be beneficial.

Workplace bullying, psychological distress, and work engagement in the hospitality industry: The moderating effect of self- compassion

The present study investigates the structural associations between workplace bullying, employee psychological distress, and work engagement within the hospitality setting. It also evaluates the moderating impact of self- compassion on the direct path between workplace bullying and employee psychological distress. Employing a quantitative approach, PLS-SEM has been applied to analyse the data, collected by survey, from full-time employees at 2-star and 3-star hotels in Antalya. The results indicated that workplace bullying significantly predicted psychological distress and deteriorated employee engagement. In addition, there is a significant effect of employees’ psychological distress on their engagement. However, employee self-compassion did not significantly moderate the effect of workplace bullying on psychological distress. The study findings add solid and valuable contributions to concerned scholars and hoteliers by illustrating how bullying behavior could impact employees’ psychological distress and their work engagement, considering the interaction role of self-compassion on the link between bullying behavior on employees’ psychological distress. Limitations and future research are further discussed.

Communicating with ethnic minorities during COVID-19: An experimental test of the effect of self-, ingroup-, and intergroup-focused messages

Developing messaging to encourage minorities to adhere to health recommendations has been a complex task for governments worldwide during the COVID-19 crisis. Here, we propose and tests a new typology of messages among minorities that can be used to mobilize compliance and engagement. This typology comprises three messaging treatments emphasizing personal, ingroup, and intergroup benefits. We examine, via an experimental field study, whether there is a difference in the effect of these messages on two policy outcomes, social distancing and vaccine hesitancy, among the Arab minority living in Israel. The findings suggest that social messages, i.e., ingroup and intergroup messages, positively affect social distancing, while self-messaging harms social distancing compliance. Regarding vaccine intake, within the social messages tested, intergroup-focused messages were more effective than ingroup-focused messages for vaccination intentions only among citizens with low trust in the government. We discuss the findings in detail and propose new avenues in theory and practice to foster health policy compliance among minorities.
