Cultural Values as Moderators of the Relationship between Destructive Leadership and Followers’ Job Satisfaction

Prior organizational research has shown that destructive leadership adversely affects followers’ job satisfaction. However, we still have an incomplete understanding of why the strength of this relationship varies across contexts. In this study, we leverage implicit leadership theory to explain why cross-national differences in cultural values moderate this relationship. First, drawing on implicit leadership theory, we develop theory-based predictions about why the cultural value dimensions from the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) study explain differences in the strength of this relationship across countries. Then, we aggregate findings from 51 primary studies ( k = 51, N = 16,870) conducted across 12 countries to test our hypotheses. Our results indicate that the negative relationship between destructive leadership and job satisfaction weakens in magnitude as uncertainty avoidance, future orientation, power distance, and assertiveness values increase. Conversely, the negative relationship between destructive leadership and job satisfaction strengthens in magnitude as institutional collectivism, in-group collectivism, humane orientation, performance orientation, and gender egalitarianism values increase. We also demonstrate the independent, relative, and collective predictive validity of GLOBE’s cultural values as moderators of the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ job satisfaction. Collectively, our findings (1) indicate that cross-national differences exist in the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ job satisfaction and (2) highlight the need to consider destructive leadership in light of the broader cultural context in which it is being examined.

Abstract WMP69: Brain Atrophy and White Matter Disease Agreement on NCCT and MRI in Ischemic Stroke

Background: NCCT is the most widely used parenchymal imaging for acute stroke. Evaluations of brain frailty measures like atrophy and white matter disease (WMD) are becoming increasingly relevant in stroke outcome prediction but are conventionally thought to be best seen on MRI. We assessed the agreement between baseline NCCT and follow-up MRI ratings of brain atrophy and WMD and compared their predictive validity in relation to 90-day functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. Methods: In this post-hoc analysis of baseline NCCT and follow-up MRI data from the Alteplase compared to Tenecteplase (AcT) randomised-controlled trial, expert readers (stroke neurologists and radiologists) assessed atrophy using the global cortical atrophy (GCA), Koedam, and medial temporal lobe atrophy scales. WMD was measured using the Fazekas scale. Binary agreement (none-mild vs. moderate-severe) and agreement across the full range of scores between atrophy and WMD measures on NCCT and MRI were calculated using Gwet’s agreement coefficient (AC1). Logistic regressions and Delong’s test were used to compare the area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction of 90-day modified Rankin score (mRS) 0-1 when using NCCT vs MRI-based ratings for each atrophy and WMD variable. Results: Of 1577 patients included in the AcT trial, 491 had interpretable NCCT+MRI. Binary agreement was substantial (AC1:0.68-0.80) for deep and total WMD scores, Koedam scale and frontal GCA. Almost perfect binary agreement (AC1:0.81-0.97) was found for all other measures. Deep white matter showed a significant difference between NCCT and MRI ratings for predicting 90-day mRS 0-1 (MRI AUC = 0.61 [0.56-0.66], CT AUC = 0.56 [0.50-0.60], p = 0.01, Delong p = 0.02) There was no significant difference in predicting 90-day mRS for the other variables (all p > 0.12, GCA: MRI AUC = 0.54 [0.49-0.60] CT AUC = 0.53 [0.47-0.58], p = 0.58, Delong p = 0.86). Conclusion: NCCT ratings of brain atrophy and WMD by experts have substantial to almost-perfect agreement with MRI atrophy and WMD ratings and achieve similar prediction of 90-day mRS 0-1 functional outcomes in acute stroke patients. This implies that it is reasonable to use NCCT scans to evaluate these brain frailty measures in clinical practice and in stroke trials.

An implicit leadership theory examination of cultural values as moderators of the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ task performance

Destructive leadership and its effects on followers all over the world have been emphasized in cross-cultural research in recent years. Despite continued scholarly and practitioner interest in both destructive leadership and job performance due to its implications for cross-cultural research, we have an incomplete understanding of the impact of cultural context on the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ task performance. We advance international business research by building and testing implicit leadership theory predictions about the impact of country-level cultural values as moderators of the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ task performance. We test our hypotheses and research question with a meta-analytic dataset that includes respondents from 12 countries (k = 72, N = 20,878). Our results demonstrate that several of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) framework’s cultural value dimensions moderate the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ task performance across countries. The findings are driven by the strong predictive validity of the performance orientation, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, and humane orientation cultural value dimensions. Our contributions are important because we generate nuanced knowledge about the independent, relative, and collective predictive validity of cultural values in explaining the strength of the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ task performance across countries.

Finding better raters: The role of observer personality on the validity of observer-reported personality in predicting job performance

Drawing on Funder’s Realistic Accuracy Model, we investigate key sources of variance in the criterion-related validity of observer-reported personality in predicting target job performance. Specifically, this study builds theory on how observer personality impacts (a) access to and (b) processing of personality cues, influencing the extent to which observer-ratings of target personality predict supervisor ratings of target job performance. Results from a multisource field study (n = 301) indicate that observer-ratings of personality have the potential to capture both higher relative and incremental predictive validity over self-ratings. However, the extent to which observer-ratings outperform self-ratings depends upon personality characteristics of the observers, such that predictive validities are highest when observers score high on measures of conscientiousness, openness, and emotional stability.

Assessment of sentence sophistication in L2 spoken production: Expansion of verbs and argument structure constructions

Despite the vast body of literature concerning automatic analyses of L2 production, there is limited research on L2 spoken production. Furthermore, investigations into L2 sentence production abilities have predominantly been centered around sentence length. To provide more sophisticated descriptions of L2 syntactic sophistication, this study examines the validity of using the expansion of verbs and constructions as an index of L2 oral production abilities, drawing upon the principles of usage-based approaches to language development. Employing natural language processing tools, we analyzed 790 speech samples produced by L2 English learners using frequency-based and construction-focused indices to assess their predictive validity in relation to the learners’ speaking proficiency. Our findings revealed that advanced L2 learners tend to exhibit an increased use of diverse construction types and a wider range of verb types within each construction. Notably, among the individual construction types observed, the transitive and there-expletive constructions exerted the most substantial influence on the variance in speaking proficiency. These findings suggest a close relationship between the development of verbs and constructions in the spoken domain and factors related to language usage. The results provide an opportunity to evaluate L2 sentence production skills in speaking within the theoretical framework of usage-based approaches.

A multilevel meta-analysis of cyberstalking: Domains (and subdomains) of contributing factors

PurposeThe prevalence of cyberstalking, with its substantial harm to victims, highlights the importance of identifying the factors contributing to its occurrence. This study assesses, through an advanced three-level meta-analytic approach, the relative predictive validity of sociodemographic, background, risk, and protective domains of predictors associated with cyberstalking perpetration and victimization. MethodsIn each domain, multiple subdomains were measured for dozens of individual contributing factors. An extensive systematic search yielded 57 eligible studies, describing 54 independent samples between 2002 and 2022 with 515 effect sizes. ResultsMultilevel meta-analysis results revealed that the background domain had the largest composite effect sizes for both cyberstalking perpetration and victimization, followed by the risk domain, whereas sociodemographic and protective domains had no significant effect. According to the moderator analyses, the effect sizes of background and risk domains varied depending on the age of the sample and the country of the data, highlighting the need for future synthesis studies to identify the unique contributing factors to cyberstalking in adult samples from various countries. ConclusionsFindings from this meta-analysis provide valuable evidence for the development of primary prevention and risk assessment-management, as well as cyberstalking security and guardianship.

The predictive validity of the DSM-5 alternative model for borderline personality disorder: Associations with coping strategies, general distress, rumination, and suicidal ideation across one year.

The DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) characterizes borderline personality disorder (BPD) in part as a constellation of maladaptive personality trait facets including emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, depressivity, impulsivity, risk-taking, and hostility. Previous studies have supported the construct validity of AMPD-BPD; however, research examining its predictive validity in relation to theoretically and clinically relevant constructs remains needed. The present study investigates the longitudinal relationships between AMPD-BPD and general distress, rumination, and suicidal ideation, as well as adaptive and maladaptive coping targeted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in a sample of participants with elevated BPD symptomology. We also examined if dysfunctional coping skill use at 9-month follow-up explained the relationship between baseline BPD traits and outcomes at 1-year. There were significant correlations between baseline trait BPD with dysfunctional coping skill use at 9-month follow-up and psychological distress and rumination at 1-year follow-up. Dysfunctional skill use exhibited a significant indirect effect in the association between trait BPD and rumination after 1 year. The findings of this study support the construct validity of AMPD-BPD that can inform treatment and research.

Developing an Ecological Model of Turnover Intent: Associations Among Child Welfare Caseworkers’ Characteristics, Lived Experience, Professional Attitudes, Agency Culture, and Proclivity to Leave

Almost a quarter of the child welfare workforce leaves their job each year, and despite clarion calls over the decades, our insights into dynamics underlying turnover remain limited. Using survey data from 276 caseworkers in a midwestern state, this analysis explores an array of personality, stress, attitudinal, and perception measures and their association with three measures of turnover intent: thinking about quitting, intending to search, and intent to leave. Findings indicate that controlling for demographic factors, burnout, and confidence in decision support from agency leadership had consistent and strong associations with all three outcomes (positive for burnout; negative for decision support). In contrast, associations between conscientiousness, open-mindedness, secondary traumatic stress, and attitudes favoring family preservation over child safety varied in their significance, orientation, and strength depending on the outcome in question. Given that the most powerful and consistent predictors of turnover intentions are potentially malleable, these findings indicate that these are two important areas for agencies to consider developing interventions. Moreover, despite the commonalities, the finding that the three outcomes examined were associated with different predictors, suggests they may be distinguishing phases of contemplation and action along a pre-turnover continuum. Future research will explore the relative predictive validity of these scales.

Predictors of UK postgraduate researcher attendance behaviours and mental health-related attrition intention.

High rates of postgraduate researchers (PGRs) terminate their studies early. This attrition can have detrimental personal consequences, and results in a loss of productivity, and research and innovation for the higher education sector and society as a whole. PGRs are vulnerable to the experience of mental health problems; a factor that appears to be increasing attrition amongst students in the UK. However, investigation of the determinants of problems with PGRs' attendance and influencing intention to discontinue their studies is rare. Here, we consider the relative predictive validity of a set of putative predictors (mental health symptoms, demographic, occupational, psychological, social, and relational) of attendance behaviours (absenteeism, presenteeism, mental health-related intermission) and early attrition intention amongst UK PGRs. Depression, anxiety, and suicidality predicted attendance behaviours and greater attrition intention. Individual demographic and occupational factors predicted all outcomes. Psychological, social and relational factors had less predictive validity, although individual variables in theseconceptual clusters did significantly predict some outcomes. Our results suggest that interventions to reduce high rates of mental health problems are likely to improve attendancebehaviours, and reduce the extent to which PGRs intermit or consider ending their PhD studies for mental health-related reasons. Initiatives designed to improve supervisory relationships and reduce loneliness may also reduce absenteeism, intermission and attrition intention.

Critical Incidents Scale for Ambulance Work - Denmark (CISAW-D): the development of a screening tool for work exposure to critical events in operative ambulance personnel.

Critical incidents in ambulance work are not easily compared to other risk occupations. Understanding types of incidents that can be considered critical in operational ambulance work is important to prevent work-related post-traumatic stress (PTS). This study aimed to develop a scale of critical incidents in ambulance work and assess its predictive validity in relation to the severity of PTS symptoms. A total of 1092 open-ended descriptions from Danish ambulance personnel were content analysed to develop a categorical scale that identifies types of events perceived as critical to operative ambulance personnel. Multiple regression was used to assess whether the scale predicted PTS symptoms and to assess the cumulative effect of exposure to these events. The study found that the 1092 descriptions of critical events could be condensed into 28 categories of critical events. These ranged from life-threatening situations and deaths, to more daily events such as handling strong emotional reactions from patients' relatives and working with terminally ill children. The frequency of events significantly predicted the severity of PTS symptoms with low to moderate effect (std beta = 0.2, t(375) = 3.7, p < .001), even when adjusting for known risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder. This study showed that critical events in ambulance work included events that are not normally considered traumatic, and indicated that understanding the cumulative effect of these events is important when trying to prevent traumatic sequalae in ambulance personnel. The study highlighted the importance of increased focus on non-traumatic incidents that have an ongoing impact on paramedics' mental health and well-being. The Critical Incidents Scale for Ambulance Work - Denmark (CISAW-D) is a promising tool for systematic screening for exposure to critical events in ambulance work.

Psychometric Properties, Factor Structure, and Validity of the Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale in Children and Adults.

Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits identify children at high risk of antisocial behavior. A recent theoretical model proposed that CU traits arise from low sensitivity to threat and affiliation. To assess these dimensions, we developed the parent- and self-reported Sensitivity to Threat and Affiliative Reward Scale (STARS) and tested its psychometric properties, factor structure, and construct validity. Samples 1 (N =3 03; age 3-10; United States) and 2 (N = 854 age 5-9; Spain) were children and Sample 3 was 514 young adults (Mage = 19.89; United States). In Sample 1, differential item functioning and item response theory techniques were used to identify the best-performing items from a 64-item pool, resulting in 28 items that functioned equivalently across age and gender. Factor analysis indicated acceptable fit for the theorized two-factor structure with separate threat and affiliation factors in all three samples, which showed predictive validity in relation to CU traits in children and psychopathic traits in young adults.

"Three recommendations based on a comparison of the reliability and validity of the predominant models used in research on the empirical structure of psychopathology": Correction to Forbes et al. (2021).

Reports an error in "Three recommendations based on a comparison of the reliability and validity of the predominant models used in research on the empirical structure of psychopathology" by Miriam K. Forbes, Ashley L. Greene, Holly F. Levin-Aspenson, Ashley L. Watts, Michael Hallquist, Benjamin B. Lahey, Kristian E. Markon, Christopher J. Patrick, Jennifer L. Tackett, Irwin D. Waldman, Aidan G. C. Wright, Avshalom Caspi, Masha Ivanova, Roman Kotov, Douglas B. Samuel, Nicholas R. Eaton and Robert F. Krueger (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 2021[Apr], Vol 130[3], 297-317). In the article, Figure 1 had an error in the latent variable labels for Models 1, 2, and 3 whereby "Fear" and "Distress" had been inverted. The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2021-13650-001.) The present study compared the primary models used in research on the structure of psychopathology (i.e., correlated factor, higher-order, and bifactor models) in terms of structural validity (model fit and factor reliability), longitudinal measurement invariance, concurrent and prospective predictive validity in relation to important outcomes, and longitudinal consistency in individuals' factor score profiles. Two simpler operationalizations of a general factor of psychopathology were also examined-a single-factor model and a count of diagnoses. Models were estimated based on structured clinical interview diagnoses in two longitudinal waves of nationally representative data from the United States (n = 43,093 and n = 34,653). Models that included narrower factors (fear, distress, and externalizing) were needed to capture the observed multidimensionality of the data. In the correlated factor and higher-order models these narrower factors were reliable, largely invariant over time, had consistent associations with indicators of adaptive functioning, and had moderate stability within individuals over time. By contrast, the fear- and distress-specific factors in the bifactor model did not show good reliability or validity throughout the analyses. Notably, the general factor of psychopathology (p factor) performed similarly well across tests of reliability and validity regardless of whether the higher-order or bifactor model was used; the simplest (single factor) model was also comparable across most tests, with the exception of model fit. Given the limitations of categorical diagnoses, it will be important to repeat these analyses using dimensional measures. We conclude that when aiming to understand the structure and correlates of psychopathology it is important to (a) look beyond model fit indices to choose between different models, (b) examine the reliability of latent variables directly, and (c) be cautious when isolating and interpreting the unique effects of specific psychopathology factors, regardless of which model is used.

Measuring types and timing of childhood maltreatment: The psychometric properties of the KERF-40.

Childhood maltreatment, specifically during sensitive developmental periods, is a major risk factor for poor physical and mental health. Despite its enormous clinical relevance, there is still a lack of scales measuring different types, timing, and duration of childhood maltreatment. The current study sought to validate and determine the psychometric properties of the brief German version of the Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure (MACE) scale, the KERF-40. The KERF-40 was administered as an interview (i.e., KERF-40-I) to 287 adult participants with and without mental disorders. Based on item response theory, items of the KERF-40-I were assigned to different types of maltreatment, resulting in a scaled version, the KERF-40+. Test-retest reliability was assessed in a small subsample (n = 14). Convergent and relative predictive validity were measured with correlations of the KERF-40+ and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) as well as self-report measures of general and trauma-related psychopathology. Rasch analysis and fit statistics yielded a 49-item version, encompassing ten different types of maltreatment. The test-retest reliability of the KERF-40+ was shown to be acceptable to excellent for almost all global and subscale scores (.74 ≤ ρ ≤ 1.00), with the exception of the subscale emotional neglect (ρ = .55). Convergent validity with the CTQ was confirmed for both KERF-40+ global scores (.72 ≤ r ≤ .87) and corresponding subscale scores (.56 ≤ r ≤ .78). Relative predictive validity was reflected by significant small-to-moderate correlations between KERF-40+ global scores and indices of general and trauma-related psychopathology (.24 ≤ r ≤ .45). Taken together, the KERF-40+ appears to be suited for clinicians and researchers interested in retrospectively assessing different types, timing, and duration of childhood maltreatment experiences during sensitive periods in adults.

Personality and Spirituality as Predictors of Mental Health and Salivary Alpha-Amylase Activity in Breast Cancer Survivors.

To determine the relative predictive validity of personality and spirituality for mental health and salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) in breast cancer (BC) survivors. 23 BC survivors participated in a single-group, cross-sectional study. Predictor variables included personality and spiritual variables. Outcome variables included subjective physical and mental health outcomes and sAA, a neuroimmune biomarker. Hierarchical regressions indicated that (a) conscientiousness and forgiveness independently predict 38% and 11% of variance in mental health scores, respectively; and (b) conscientiousness and forgiveness independently predict 15% and 24% of the variance in sAA, respectively. Consistent with psychoneuroimmunology theory, personality and spiritual variables independently influence subjective mental health and neuroimmune activity in BC survivors. Nurses should be aware of BC survivors' personality characteristics and spiritual dispositions so that distinct interventions can be offered to promote mental health and reduce stress-related neuroimmune inflammation.

Scripted attachment representations of current romantic relationships: measurement and validation

ABSTRACT This report describes the development and validation of a new coding system for the Current Relationship Interview (CRI) that assesses individual differences in secure base script knowledge with respect to adult romantic partners. Drawing on data from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation (N = 116) a coding system was developed to parallel the secure base script coding system for the Adult Attachment Interview. Specifically, CRIs conducted in adulthood were re-coded for the extent to which the interviews reflected script-like expectations that romantic partners are available and provide effective support in times of distress (CRIsbs). CRIsbs was moderately associated with the traditional coding system for the CRI and showed concurrent and/or predictive validity in relation to observed and self-reported romantic relationship quality as well as interview ratings of the effectiveness with which adults engaged in romantic relationships. Theoretical and practical benefits of the CRIsbs coding system are discussed.

Validity of the modular assessment of risk for imminent suicide in predicting short-term suicidality.

The Modular Assessment of Risk for Imminent Suicide (MARIS) is a clinical assessment tool, consisting of four modules assessing (1) a pre-suicidal cognitive-affective state (Module 1); (2) patients' attitudes toward suicide (Module 2); (3) clinicians' assessment of suicide risk factors (Module 3); and (4) clinicians' emotional responses to patients (Module 4) that assesses short-term suicide risk. Initial evidence provided evidence for its reliability and concurrent validity. The present study extended these findings by examining the MARIS's predictive validity in relation to suicidal thoughts and behaviors at one-month follow-up. A sample of 1039psychiatric patients (378 inpatients, 661 outpatients) and their clinicians (N=144) completed a battery of measures at baseline; 670 patients completed the one-month follow-up assessment. MARIS total scores predicted suicidal thoughts and behaviors at one-month follow-up, even after controlling for baseline suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Moreover, both Module 1 and the Distress subscale of Module 4 were uniquely associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors at one-month follow-up, controlling for baseline suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Modules 2 and 3, on the other hand, exhibited poor internal consistency. Overall, both patient- and clinician-rated indices are uniquely predictive of suicidal thoughts and behaviors at one-month follow-up, highlighting the need for integrating clinicians' emotional responses into suicide risk assessment. Pending replication and extension of these findings in external samples, a briefer, two-module version of MARIS (MARIS-2) may be such an integrative, psychometrically sound, and clinically useful instrument that can be utilized to assess short-term suicide risk.

Self, partner, and observers' humor perceptions: Relative validity of ratings across sources

AbstractPrior studies examining humor in romantic relationships often assume that behavioral ratings obtained from different sources (i.e., self, partner, and observer) are interchangeable. However, it is unclear if humor ratings across sources reflect a common construct. The current study (N = 160 couples, Mage = 20 years, Mrelationshiplength = 15 months) investigated whether partner and observer ratings of humor offer unique information beyond actor ratings. Additionally, the relative predictive validity of humor ratings was evaluated. In general, the results showed that ratings tend to converge across sources. In addition, partner and observer ratings generally did not explain unique variance beyond self‐ratings. These results suggest that rating sources for assessing humor are largely interchangeable, with a few exceptions. This study offers recommendations for the methodological consideration of rating sources regarding humor reports in close relationships.

Examining client self-exploration in motivational interviewing: Preliminary psychometrics of an observational rating measure

PurposeWe examine in-session self-exploration among Latinx heavy drinkers who received a motivational interview (MI) to reduce heavy drinking. The goals of this study are to report the validity and reliability of an adaptation of the Global Client Rating for Self-Exploration from the Motivational Interviewing Skill Code (MISC SE). MethodThe study measured the MISC SE as three subscales (Emotional, Cognitive, New Learning/Developing Discrepancy SE) to assess underlying processes that might allow for higher predictive validity in relation to behavioral change (drinking) outcomes. The study created a dichotomous variable, Personally Relevant Vulnerable Making (PR-VM), to distinguish the disclosure of particularly sensitive material related to drinking behavior. The study used the measure of Everyday Discrimination as a criterion variable for the PR-VM measure. The study collected observationally rated data for n = 158 participants. ResultsSubscales showed moderate correlations with the MISC SE (r = 0.421 to 0.574, p < .001). The MISC SE was not associated with number of drinking days or percent heavy drinking days at 3-month follow-up. Cognitive and New Learning/Developing Discrepancy SE were associated with fewer drinking days (r = −0.247 to −0.266, p < .005), and Cognitive SE was associated with percent heavy drinking days (r = −0.169, p < .05), Subscale interrater reliability was comparable to the MISC SE (ICC = 0.72 to 0.86). The study observed higher mean scores on the Everyday Discrimination scale when session PR-VM was present than when not present (t (df = 118) = −3.02, p < .005). ConclusionsThe subscale adaptation of the SE measure may provide a sensitive approach to understanding how self-exploration relates to behavior change in the context of MI.

Universal Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Strength and Risk Screening: Relative Predictive Validity for Students’ Subjective Well-Being in Schools

The national social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) screening in South Korean schools focuses on identifying and intervening with students at risk for SEB concerns, with little attention paid to students’ SEB strength. This study aimed to examine (a) the technical adequacy of the Social Emotional Health Survey—Primary (SEHS-P), Youth Internalizing Problem Screener (YIPS), and Youth Externalizing Problem Screener (YEPS), (b) the relations of the YIPS and YEPS to students’ subjective well-being (SWB) in schools, and (c) the incremental predictive utility of the SEHS-P for students’ SWB in schools. Confirmatory factor and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted using a sample of 790 fourth–sixth grade students in South Korea. Results supported the factor structures and reliability of the screeners and indicated that the SEHS-P explained significant additional variance in school-specific SWB beyond that accounted for by the YIPS and YEPS. Implications for future research and practice are discussed. Impact Statement This study adds empirical support to international research on dual-factor models, suggesting the need to attend to both SEB strength and risk to promote well-being among youth. Results support the inclusion of a SEB strength screener in the current deficit-oriented screening in South Korea to gather more well-rounded data to inform prevention and intervention efforts.

Distributional learning in English: The effect of verb-specific biases and verb-general semantic mappings on sentence production.

Previous studies using artificial languages suggest that sentence production can be guided by verb-specific as well as verb-general statistics present in the language input. Here we investigated whether the statistical properties of ongoing input in the speakers' native language systematically affected their sentence production. Three experiments used a training-plus production test paradigm to examine whether sentence production comes to rely more on verb-specific biases or on verb-general semantic mappings depending on the relative predictive validities of those cues in the input. We found different patterns in speakers' structural choices and utterance characteristics depending on the relative validity of different cues. These results show that native language production can be updated by new input and suggest that the nature of the updating can be explained at least in part by adopting a cue-validity approach.
