Published: October 2024

Do the words we use reveal how we feel? While much research has explored language use in social media, little is known about how the content of spontaneous thoughts and experiences—daytime mind-wandering and nighttime dreaming—reflects well-being and ill-being. Here, we analyzed 1496 mind-wandering reports (N = 152) and 1781 dream reports (N = 172) using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count. Participants also self-reported their well-being and ill-being. Multilevel regression analyses showed that ill-being (negative affect, anxiety and depression symptoms) was associated with negative tone and negative emotion words (including anxiety, anger, sadness words) in mind-wandering reports. Although links between ill-being and negative tone in dream reports were weaker, well-being was exclusively associated with positive emotion word use in dream reports. These findings indicate that the way people describe their feelings in reports of different conscious states reflects mental health and may contribute to future diagnostic tools in psychology and psychiatry.

Modeling Non-Linear Psychological Processes: Reviewing and Evaluating Non-parametric Approaches and Their Applicability to Intensive Longitudinal Data
Authors: Failenschmid Jan Ian , Vogelsmeier Leonie V. D. E. , Mulder Joris , Jongerling Joran
Published: October 2024

Psychological concepts are increasingly understood as complex dynamic systems that changeover time. To study these complex systems, researchers are increasingly gathering intensivelongitudinal data (ILD), revealing non-linear phenomena such as asymptotic growth, mean-levelswitching, and regulatory oscillations. However, psychological researchers currently lackadvanced statistical methods that are flexible enough to capture these non-linear processesaccurately, which hinders theory development. While methods such as local polynomialregression, Gaussian processes, and generalized additive models (GAMs) exist outside ofpsychology, they are rarely applied within the field because they have not yet been reviewedaccessibly and evaluated within the context of ILD. To address this important gap, this articleintroduces these three methods for an applied psychological audience. We further conducted asimulation study, which demonstrates that all three methods infer non-linear processes that havebeen found in ILD more accurately than polynomial regression. Particularly, GAMs closelycaptured the underlying processes, performing almost as well as the data-generating parametricmodels. Finally, we illustrate how GAMs can be applied to explore idiographic processes andidentify potential phenomena in ILD. This comprehensive analysis empowers psychologicalresearchers to model non-linear processes accurately and select a method that aligns with theirdata and research goals.
Designing LLM-Agents with Personalities: A Psychometric Approach
Authors: Huang Muhua , Zhang Xijuan , Soto Christopher J. , Evans James
Published: October 2024

This research introduces a novel methodology for assigning quantifiable, controllable andpsychometrically validated personalities to Large Language Models-Based Agents (Agents)using the Big Five personality framework. It seeks to overcome the constraints of humansubject studies, proposing Agents as an accessible tool for social science inquiry. Through aseries of four studies, this research demonstrates the feasibility of assigningpsychometrically valid personality traits to Agents, enabling them to replicate complexhuman-like behaviors. The first study establishes an understanding of personalityconstructs and personality tests within the semantic space of an LLM. Two subsequentstudies—using empirical and simulated data—illustrate the process of creating Agents andvalidate the results by showing strong correspondence between human and Agent answersto personality tests. The final study further corroborates this correspondence by usingAgents to replicate known human correlations between personality traits anddecision-making behaviors in scenarios involving risk-taking and ethical dilemmas, therebyvalidating the eﬀectiveness of the psychometric approach to design Agents and itsapplicability to social and behavioral research.

Authors: Hu Yue , Cai Xinxin , Bai Xue
Published: October 2024

Background: Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an emerging method to facilitate advance care planning (ACP). Through conceptualizing ACP drawing on the model of preparation for future care needs, this study systematically reviewed the effectiveness of and participants’ experience with MI on ACP. Methods: A mixed-methods systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out on the eligible studies by searching Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, LICAS, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov starting from the creation of the databases to December 2023. Results: The meta-analysis found that MI intervention was associated with higher odds of concrete ACP behaviors as compared to that under the control condition. The synthesized quantitative and qualitative evidence showed that MI intervention promoted attitudes, knowledge, readiness or intention to engage in ACP, and efficacy. Conclusion: MI is effective to promote ACP.
Examining age-related changes in global and local attentional control
Authors: Weichart Emily Ruth , Francis Cole , Sederberg Per Benjamin
Published: October 2024

Widespread cognitive decline in older adults has been hypothesized to stem from a fundamental deficit in inhibition, or the ability to ignore goal-irrelevant information. However, previous efforts to measure inhibition in aging have been hindered by the task impurity problem, where multiple cognitive processes contribute to performance and make it difficult to isolate specific mechanisms. Here, we introduce the Global-Local AtteNtional Control Evaluation (GLANCE), a novel framework designed to 1) assess both global attentional control (between-trial inhibition) and local attentional control (within-trial inhibition) in a unified task; and 2) address the task impurity problem via an accompanying computational model. Behavioral results from younger, middle-aged, and older adults (N=100; age range: 18-73) reveal significant age-related differences in global attentional control, with older adults showing less efficient adaptation to rule changes compared to younger adults. Parameter estimates from fitting the computational model to subject-level data further identified reduced error-related memory suppression as the specific mechanism that accounts for age-related differences in behavior.
How to Produce, Identify, and Motivate Robust Psychological Science: A Roadmap and a Response to Vize et al.
Authors: Klonsky E David
Published: October 2024

Some wish to mandate preregistration as a response to the replication crisis (Vize et al., 2024), while others caution that such mandates inadvertently cause harm and distract from more critical reforms (Klonsky, 2024). In this context, I offer a three-part vision for cultivating a robust and cumulative psychological science. First, we must know how to produce robust rather than fragile findings. Key ingredients include sufficient sample sizes, valid measurement, and honesty/transparency. Second, we must know how to identify robust (and non-robust) findings. To this end, I reframe robustness checks broadly into four types: across analytic decisions, across measures, across samples, and across investigative teams. Third, we must be motivated to produce and care about robust science. This aim requires marshalling sociocultural forces to support, reward, and celebrate the production of robust findings, just as we once rewarded flashy but fragile findings. Critically, these sociocultural reinforcements must be tied as closely as possible to rigor and robustness themselves – rather than cosmetic indicators of rigor and robustness, as we have done in the past (Klonsky, 2024).
Frequency tagging in the sensorimotor cortex is enhanced by auditory compared to visual body movement information in a walking movement integration task
Authors: Matamala-Gomez Marta , Vilà-Balló Adrià , Vega David Cucurell , JIMENEZ ANA TAJADURA , Rodriguez-Fornells Antoni
Published: October 2024

Body movements like walking can synchronize with auditory and visual inputs presented within a periodic frequency range, peaking around 2 Hz. The EEG frequency-tagging approach allows to capture the synchronization of beat perception with neural brain oscillations at the beat frequency. This study used EEG frequency-tagging to explore brain dynamics during rhythmic sensorimotor synchronization with auditory (footstep sound) and visual (walking point-light figure) inputs. Sensory inputs were delivered at different rates (1 Hz, 2 Hz, 3.6 Hz) in rhythmic or random sequences while recording EEG activity. The experiment included three conditions: (i) Auditory, (ii) Visual, and (iii) Audiovisual, including data from 22 participants. Results showed a main effect of rhythmic sequences compared to random sequences across all frequencies in all three auditory, visual, or audiovisual conditions. Specifically, at 2 Hz, rhythmic sequences enhanced synchronization in the sensorimotor cortex for auditory and audiovisual conditions. This effect was absent in the visual condition alone. Notably, 2 Hz rhythmic sequences in the audiovisual condition led to synchronization with temporal, sensorimotor, and occipital regions. The study suggests that attention to rhythmic auditory input at 2 Hz can mediate neural synchronization between auditory and sensorimotor brain areas.
The Basic Psychological Needs in Excellencism and Perfectionism: A Dual Perspective with the Need-As-Motives and the Need-As-Nutriments Frameworks
Authors: Andrade Giovanni , Gaudreau Patrick , Pétrin-Pomerleau Philippe
Published: October 2024

Perfectionism has been theorized as a risk factor for psychological need frustration. However, past studies on basic psychological needs often reported ambiguous and unexpected findings for perfectionistic standards. The Model of Excellencism and Perfectionism (MEP) recently distinguished between perfectionistic standards and the pursuit of high yet attainable standards (excellencism). This study investigated their distinct associations with basic psychological needs, using measures taken from the need-as-motives and the need-as-nutriments perspectives. Young adults (n=305) completed the Scale of Perfectionism and Excellencism and various measures of need-related constructs. A multivariate multiple regression supported the hypothesis that excellencism and perfectionism are differentially linked with psychological needs. Excellencism was positively associated with three approach-oriented motives (need for achievement, affiliation, power) and satisfaction with the need for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Conversely, pursuing perfectionistic standards was positively linked to two avoidance-oriented motives (e.g., fear of failure and losing control) and frustration with the three basic psychological needs. These findings reconcile research and theories by showing that pursuing perfection is not associated with adaptive psychological needs. Perfectionistic standards are linked to two avoidance-oriented motives (i.e., fear of failure and losing control) and frustration of basic psychological needs when properly distinguished from excellencism.

Published: October 2024

Drawing on a large-scale mobile trace dataset (N = 463 participants; N = 19,867,944 app logs),we examined variability in social app ecologies while directly contrasting social media andmessaging apps. We found that users had primary apps that dominated their media andmessaging usage, respectively; concurrently, users were more likely to draw on a diverse set ofsocial media (vs. messaging) apps. However, we observed small to insignificant correlationsbetween social media and messaging use, suggesting that the two categories – or sub-ecologies –are not strongly displacing or driving one another. Both social media and messaging apps wereused consistently across space – though individuals averaged slightly more time on social mediaat home and messaging on foot. Overall, the study affirms the importance of taking a naturalisticapproach to studying app ecologies, while also offering insights into the increasingly complexrelationship between social media and messaging use (and users).

ENGEL’S CURVES AND ECONOMICS OF DEPRIVATION. DEMAND FUNCTION FOR EXPENDITURES ON INDIVIDUAL COMMODITIES VIS-À-VIS INCOME REDEFINED.
Authors: Sitaramam Vetury
Published: October 2024

Man and his wealth are catalysts for consumption of resources that we refer to as commodities. While this was understood since Engel, who first tabulated these expenditures, the nature of the demand function itself remained unresolved. Economics of consumption is redefined here in terms of its basic variables, income and expenditures, in a self-consistent universal hierarchy. The analyses so far did not take into account a correction for income though the preference for consumption is primarily hierarchical. Using data from National Sample Survey Organization of India, we demonstrate the universality of the rectangular hyperbola that defines the consumption for each commodity on the basis of residual income, by deducting expenditures of higher preference based on elasticity coefficients. Since different commodities show a hierarchy of hyperbolic functions, both in the rate at which the saturation is achieved as well as the saturation itself, we needed a commodity for which the critical time constant (accounting for the hyperbolic function) is known and invariant, viz., educational expenditures. The year-wise income classes of parents that reflect the relevant expenditures for education of Brazilian children, compiled earlier by Costa Ribiero, uniquely show a constant hyperbolic function for all the years when analyzed in terms of ‘residual income’. The study corrects long-standing errors of commission and omission in relevant econometrics and biology of work-calorie relationship.

Descarbonização da indústria química: empresas que aderem a iniciativa Science Based Targets (SBTI) e análise de um caso brasileiro
Authors:   , Marinho Kettily Oliveira
Published: October 2024

This study addresses the reduction of the carbon footprint in the chemical industry in Latin America, with an emphasis on the commitments made by companies that are part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The research adopts the following research questions: What are the commitments of chemical companies in Latin America that adhere to the SBTi to reduce their GHG emissions? How do chemical companies in Latin America work to reduce their scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions? The study investigates the strategies adopted by these companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in scopes 1, 2, and 3, with a focus on an illustrative case of a Brazilian chemical company. The study is motivated by the significant influence of the chemical industry on global GHG emissions, as it is a challenging sector for emission reductions due to its complexity and high carbon intensity. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using interviews and sustainability reports as the main sources. The analysis is based on a comparison of the four cases investigated, considering the following categories: Facilitators of entry into the SBTi, Challenges faced, Pressures involved, and Benefits from participating in the SBTi. The illustrative case of the Brazilian company exemplifies the strategies adopted, such as the transition to renewable energy sources and process improvements. The results highlight the variability of the practices adopted by companies, ranging from the transition to clean energy to the difficulty in implementing complex goals, such as those related to scope 3. Among the facilitators, leadership and top management support are essential for goal implementation, while the main challenges include the complexity of data collection and the high costs of innovation. The research contributions provide insights into the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of decarbonization practices, reinforcing the importance of innovation policies and committed leadership. However, limitations such as restricted data availability and the limited sample of companies hinder the generalization of the results. The analysis concludes that following the SBTi is a significant step toward reducing emissions in the Latin American chemical industry, but emphasizes that continuous efforts are needed to overcome existing challenges. The study provides valuable insights for companies, policymakers, and researchers interested in reducing emissions in the chemical industry
Modelo preditivo de investimento em distribuição de energia elétrica no contexto da transição energética
Authors:   , Andrade Fernando
Published: October 2024

The climate crisis, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, demands urgent attention and the implementation of effective mitigation measures. Within this context, the Energy Transition, which involves shifting from a fossil fuel-based energy matrix to one with low or zero carbon emissions, emerges as a fundamental strategy for neutralizing these emissions. In the current state of the energy transition, decarbonization is predominantly achieved through the generation of electricity from renewable sources and the electrification of various activities. From this perspective, Electric Vehicles, Distributed Generation, Energy Storage, and Demand Response are key elements in this process. Given this scenario, the electric sector, particularly the distribution of electric power, plays a crucial role in enabling the Energy Transition. The Brazilian electrical system possesses characteristics that are global benchmarks and favorable elements for the Energy Transition, such as a predominantly clean energy matrix and one of the largest and most robust interconnected transmission systems in the world. However, the distribution of electric power faces significant challenges, from investment capacity to the quality of the service provided. In light of the above, the primary objective of this study is to estimate the investment required in distribution infrastructure to facilitate the effective development of the Energy Transition in Brazil. To this end, a Systematic Scoping Review was conducted, providing the necessary foundation for the development of a model aimed at estimating the investment required in the distribution of electric power in Brazil, based on variables identified in the literature. The model was validated by subject matter experts through the Delphi Method. Following the collection of data on the associated variables, simulations were conducted, indicating an investment volume between 110 and 130 billion reais for the period from 2022 to 2032, with an 80% confidence level. The main contribution of this to scientific knowledge lies in the proposition and subsequent validation of an integrated model for forecasting investments in electricity distribution infrastructure within the scope of the strategies aimed at making the energy transition viable

الذاكرة في الجائحة والجائحة في الذاكرة
Authors: سوكاح زهير
Published: October 2024

تناقش هذه الدراسة تأثير جائحة فيروس كورونا (كوفيد–19) على تشكيل الذاكرة الفردية والجمعية، من خلال استعراض ثلاثة أوجه للعلاقة بين الوباء والذاكرة. الوجه الأول يرتبط بقدرة الحدث الكوروني على استدعاء "ذاكرة قبلية" تحتفظ بتجارب جمعية قديمة مشابهة لتفشي الأوبئة، مما يعيد تشكيل الذكريات الجماعية لدى بعض المجتمعات.

أما الوجه الثاني فيتناول "الذاكرة المعيشة" التي تمثل ذاكرة جماعية ما زالت قيد التشكل عن الجائحة الحالية، حيث تعكس التجربة العالمية المشتركة لهذا الحدث.

وأخيرًا، يطرح الوجه الثالث مفهوم "الذاكرة المستقبلية"، وهي الذاكرة التي ستستدعي الجائحة في المستقبل كحدث تاريخي مع تداعياته، مع احتمالية حدوث "نسيان مستقبلي" لأجزاء من هذه التجربة مع مرور الزمن، ما لم تكن محتوياتها مهددة بالاندثار.

Retorno salarial da experiência de migração dos empreendedores e assalariados
Authors: Orellana Vivian dos Santos Queiroz , Aragón Jorge Alberto Orellana , Rosa Samanda
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o diferencial de rendimento entre migrantes de retorno interestadual e não migrantes inseridos em ocupações empreendedoras ou assalariadas usando dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra por Domicílios (PNAD) de 2015. Para tanto, é aplicada a decomposição detalhada de Oaxaca-Blinder e um método em dois estágios para contornar o problema de autosseleção amostral na estimação das equações de salários. Os resultados mostram que o migrante de retorno de curto e médio prazo inserido como empreendedor ganha um rendimento 19% e 17% menor do que o não migrante na mesma ocupação, respectivamente, sendo negativamente selecionado em atributos produtivos não observados. Já o remigrante assalariado de curto e médio prazo recebe um salário 62% e 49% maior do que o não migrante na mesma ocupação, respectivamente, sendo positivamente selecionado em melhores  tributos produtivos não observados. O engajamento do remigrante no empreendedorismo pode ter sido motivado pornecessidade.
Comportamento do consumo e do preço de cigarro no Brasil: Uma análise dos impostos de 2006 a 2018
Authors: Banho de Andrade Reis Rodrigo , De Fátima Monteiro Waleska , Ehrl Philipp
Published: October 2024

Esta pesquisa avalia os impactos das políticas da tributação de cigarro sobre o consumo e a cessação do fumo. A abordagem utilizada baseia-se em dados individuais da pesquisa Vigitel e avalia os impostos IPI, PIS/COFINS e o preço mínimo dos maços de cigarro no período entre 2006 e 2018. Os modelos Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (Pooled OLS) e Probit foram utilizados na estimação dos parâmetros das regressões. Os resultados indicam que há uma interferência da política de preços sobre o consumo de cigarros. Consequentemente, o ente estatal deve realizar ações efetivas, voltadas à mitigação do fumo no mercado tabagista brasileiro como o aumento da tributação.
Increase of resistance and improvement of adaptation and compensatory mechanisms of the body of juvenile fish under conditions of multitrophic aquaculture
Authors: Honcharova Olena , Bekh Vitaliy
Published: October 2024

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the trend in the development of organic aquaculture with the production of environmentally safe products. The purpose of the study was to determine and compare the effectiveness of the introduction of feed factors of different origins in feeding and rearing rainbow trout in the early stages of ontogenesis. The study was based on theoretical (analysis, synthesis, comparison, modelling), experimental, and laboratory methods adopted in fisheries, physicochemical studies. The results show an increase in the resistance and overall viability of the body of young trout, an improvement in the morpho-functional parameters of the blood, and activation of metabolic processes in the experimental groups 1 and 2. However, higher parameters were obtained in experimental group 2 in relation to other study groups. The average body weight of fish exceeded the parameters in experimental group 1 (by 11.7%, p < 0.01) and experimental group 2 (by 19.5%, p < 0.001) of the control group. The total number of red blood cells in experimental group 1 exceeded the values in the control group by 10.6% (p < 0.01) and in experimental group 2 by 15.3% (p < 0.001). In experimental group 1, the total protein content exceeded the value by 14.8%, in experimental group 2 – by 22.2% (p < 0.01) compared to the control group. The creatinine content in the blood of fish in experimental group 1 exceeded the values (by 9.7%) and in experimental group 2 (by 17.6%, p < 0.05) of the control group. The biochemical composition of the muscle part of trout was higher and better in terms of nutritional characteristics in experimental group 1 and 2 compared to the control group. The proposed method of feeding by two methods (experimental groups 1 and 2) promotes activation of fish growth rates in two experimental groups. The practical significance of the study is to help improve qualitative and quantitative parameters, in particular, the biochemical composition of the muscle part in experimental groups 1 and 2 compared to control values against the background of increased growth rates

The establishment of the latest pencak silat rules passed by PERSILAT in 2021 has led to various perceptions that lead to differences of opinion from pencak silat practitioners. The purpose of this study is to observe the perceptions of pencak silat practitioners in Indonesia about the plan to enforce the pencak silat competition regulations. This research method uses quantitative and qualitative approaches. The target subjects in the study amounted to 513 respondents which included: administrators, coaches, and pencak silat athletes throughout Indonesia, with data collection techniques using purposive sampling. The data analysis technique uses data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing followed by descriptive frequency analysis. The survey on the application of pencak silat match rules in 2021 consists of: (1) knowledge of match rules, (2) training preparation; (2) athlete safety level; and (3) suggestions or input for improvement. The results showed that of the 513 respondents, more than half (89.1%) of the respondents knew about the regulations that would be applied, the rest did not know about the implementation of the latest pencak silat match regulations. Based on the level of safety of athletes from 391 respondents more than half chose a higher risk of injury or 65%. However, further research is needed related to socialization and assistance, both from administrators, coaches, athletes, and all Indonesian pencak silat practitioners.
