A desindustrialização no Brasil desde os anos 90 tem sido acompanhada pelo crescimento do agronegócio, impulsionado por fatores como a abertura comercial e políticas favoráveis. Este fenômeno, embora aumente a produção de alimentos e gere renda, também traz desafios socioambientais, como degradação ambiental e proliferação de doenças animais. A pecuária intensiva, característica do agronegócio moderno, favorece o surgimento e disseminação de doenças como a brucelose, afetando bovinos e podendo ser transmitida aos humanos. Fatores como alta concentração de animais, manejo inadequado e falta de investimento em sanidade animal contribuem para sua persistência. A brucelose causa prejuízos econômicos significativos à pecuária e representa um risco à saúde pública, exigindo compreensão de suas características, mecanismos de transmissão e fatores de prevalência para desenvolver estratégias de controle eficazes. Investimentos em pesquisa, medidas rigorosas de sanidade animal e educação sanitária são essenciais para garantir a saúde dos animais, segurança alimentar e proteção da saúde pública. Ao estudar profundamente a brucelose, podem-se identificar soluções inovadoras para promover a sustentabilidade da produção animal e o bem-estar humano e animal.

A infestação de plantas daninhas mesmo possuindo aspectos positivos, já é comprovado que interfere negativamente em uma lavoura. A identificação das plantas daninhas é o primeiro passo para o desenvolvimento de um programa de manejo. Atualmente a resistência de plantas daninhas está entre os maiores problemas agrícolas do mundo e a cada ano, são identificados novos casos de resistência no Brasil e no mundo. Existem mundialmente 530 casos únicos de resistência, tanto simples, quanto múltipla. Os biótipos de plantas daninhas resistentes a herbicidas existem devido diversidade a genética natural que ocorrem nas populações de plantas daninhas é responsável pelo aparecimento da resistência, sendo que o herbicida não é o agente de criação da resistência, apenas da seleção. Algumas práticas podem ser implantadas para minimizar o risco de surgimento de plantas resistentes como: preventivas, culturais, mecânicas, manuais, biológicas, sistema de plantio direto, químicas e até biotecnológicas. Pensando nisso, o uso de plantas de cobertura e rotação de mecanismos de ação dos agroquímicos devem ser inseridas nesse sistema. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as mudanças no manejo de plantas daninhas decorrentes da aplicação de herbicidas gerando plantas resistentes a esse manejo. Para tanto, será discutido o manejo de culturas de cobertura e rotação de culturas como forma de minimizar o problema de resistência de plantas daninhas no campo. O Manejo Integrado de Plantas Daninhas (MIPD) é uma ferramenta eficaz e inquestionável, entretanto, é fundamental conhecer a espécie (planta daninha), a cultura a ser implantada, as plantas de cobertura que serão utilizadas para o manejo, o princípio ativo do herbicida, as condições climáticas, o modo de aplicação, a tecnologia de aplicação para definir seu melhor posicionamento. Sem dúvida, o MIPD é a melhor forma de evitar interferência e/ ou rotacionar o grupo de herbicidas para assim garantir maior rentabilidade ao produtor, evitando a resistências de plantas daninhas a herbicidas.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of soft tissue structure on the psychosocial effects of malocclusions in women and men.
Material and Methods: The severity of malocclusion was determined in 84 individuals with a Class I skeletal pattern. The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire was administered to determine the malocclusion perceptions of the patients. Arnett’s soft tissue analysis was performed to determine the soft tissue structure. The difference between the sociodemographic factors and severity of malocclusion averages of men and women was statistically examined. Subsequently, the impact of Arnett’s soft tissue analysis parameters on the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire scores of each gender was evaluated.
Results: No statistically significant association was observed between women and men related to the sociodemographic factors and the severity of malocclusions. The number of Arnett’s soft tissue analysis parameters affecting the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire scores was higher in men than women. Women were more psychologically affected by malocclusions, while men were affected by soft tissue structure changes, and women were affected by dental factors.
Conclusion: Although the soft tissue structure did not affect the perception of malocclusions in women, women experienced a more severe psychological effect of malocclusion.

Beyşehir Demirli Mescit örneğinde Anadolu’da tek ahşap taşıyıcılı harim geleneği
Authors: Yavuzyılmaz Ahmet , Budak Ayşe
Published: September 2024

Müslümanların ibadethanesi olarak bilinen ilk yapı Medine’de hicretten kısa süre sonra inşa edilen mescittir. Bu mütevazı yapının taşıyıcı ve örtü sistemi ahşapla oluşturulmuştu. İlk mescitten itibaren ahşap taşıyıcı ve örtü sisteminin varlığını sürdürdüğü bilinmektedir. Yüzyıllar boyunca kimi örnekte anıtsal nitelikte ulu camilere ve kimi örnekte de sade mescitlere dönüşmüştür. Kimi zaman onlarca ahşap ayak kullanılarak inşa edilen yapılara karşılık kimi zamanda tek ahşap taşıyıcıyla mekân biçimlendirilmiştir. Konya’nın Beyşehir ilçesinde Eşrefoğulları döneminde inşa edilmiş Demirli Mescit, küçük boyutları ve tek ahşap taşıyıcısı ile dikkati çeker. Yapının mescit ve bazı belgelerde geçen ifadeler nedeniyle medrese olarak inşa edilmiş olabileceği tartışmaları söz konusudur. Bu çalışmada, mescit olarak inşa edilen ve kullanılan bu yapının tarihsel süreci, geçirdiği onarımlar ele alınmıştır. Ancak bu çalışmanın birinci amacı bu mescidi tanıtmaktan ziyade yapının içinde barındırdığı ahşap taşıyıcısıyla birlikte bir geleneği sürdürüp sürdürmediğinin tespitidir. İlk olarak, ilk İslam ibadet yapısından itibaren görülen ahşap taşıyıcı geleneği kısaca örneklerle anlatılmış. Anadolu’da Selçuklular ve Osmanlılar arasında bir geçiş dönemi olan beylikler döneminde Konya’ya yakın konumu ve siyasi bağları nedeniyle Selçuklu geleneğini sürdüren Eşrefoğullarının inşa ettirdiği az sayıdaki örnekten birinin de yazıya konu olan tek ahşap taşıyıcılı Demirli Mescit olması ilginçtir. Bu çalışma da son olarak, bu yapıdan sonra da Anadolu’da tek ahşap taşıyıcıların hangi örneklerle devam ettiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu örneklerin sayılarının azımsanmayacak ölçüde olduğu ve bu yapıların mütevazı mahalle ve köy mescitleri olduğu görülmüştür. Tüm bu veriler ışığında tek taşıyıcılı yapıların bir gelenek içinde hangi yüzyıllar boyunca devam ettiği bu çalışmayla ortaya konulmuş ve alana katkı sağlamak hedeflenmiştir.

Birey veya kişi manasında olan nüfus, Arapça “Nefs” kelimesinden gelmekte olup, bir bölgede veya ülkede yaşayan insan topluluğu demektir. Nüfus, bir bölgenin dinamizmi olmakla birlikte nicelik ve nitelik açısından detaylı sonuçlar elde etmemizi sağlar. Yani herhangi bir yerin nüfusu, bölgenin iktisadi, içtimai ve sosyokültürel yapısı hakkında aydınlatıcı bilgiler verir. Bu bakımdan nüfus sayımları bölgelerin analizi noktasında önemli bir realitedir. Nüfus sayımları, bölgeler hakkında detaylı bilgiler verirken aynı zamanda geçmiş dönemlerin aydınlatılmasında da rol üstlenir. Bilhassa soy hakkında araştırma yapan kişiler ile ilgili aile büyüklerinin (cedlerinin) nereden geldiği, meşgul olunan ekonomik uğraşlar, aile yapıları vs. gibi unsurlar öğrenilir. Bu konuda Osmanlı Devleti, 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısında II. Mahmut döneminde uyguladığı ilk nüfus sayımları ve bu sayımların kaydedildiği defterler ile bahsedilen bilgilere erişmek açısından önemli bir çalışma gerçekleştirmiştir. Osmanlı’nın çoğu bölgesinde tutulan bu sayımlar, günümüzde Nevşehir ilinin bir kazası olan Derinkuyu (Melekobi) bölgesinde de 1831-1845 yılları arasında 6 kez yapılmıştır. İş bu çalışmada 1831 yılında ilk kez uygulanan nüfus sayımlarından hareketle Derinkuyu (Melekobi) bölgesinde yaşayan Müslim ve Gayrimüslim halkın kaç bireye sahip olduğu, hane sayıları, hane büyüklerinin isimleri, lakapları, meslekleri, tipolojik özellikleri ve diğer hane üyelerinin isim ve yaş bilgileri ifade edilmiştir.

COVID-19 outbreak has psychologically affected consumers in Turkey, and it reflects to consumer behavior. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between impulse buying behavior and anxiety levels in the COVID-19 epidemic process and to determine the changes in consumer responses as well as the role of traditional media and social media. The secondary purpose of the study is to determine whether consumers differentiate regarding impulse buying behaviors and anxiety levels on the basis of their socio-demographic characteristics. Online questionnaires were conducted with 776 consumers throughout Turkey. The results revealed that approximately 42% of the consumers bought and stored large amounts of products. Consumers bought products mostly in the fresh food category, as well as in the personal hygiene and household cleaning categories. Consumers preferred brands and intermediaries that they thought were healthy and hygienic. Official statements and TV news were the most important source motivating people to shop beyond normal. It is determined that more than 20% of the consumers followed COVID-19 news from social media groups. It was found that the level of anxiety was higher in young, women, and singles. During the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a positive correlation between impulse buying behavior and anxiety level.

Authors: Duran Zekeriya , Doğan Tuğba , Erdem Bülent
Published: September 2024

Particulate matter is one of the primary pollutants in open pit mining operations. Measurements must be taken to control particulate matter created during open pit mining activities and to compare them to the regulatory limits. Numerous studies have been undertaken to estimate particulate matter emissions produced by open pit mining. It was discovered that the research were largely conducted on coal mines (69.4%), with little study done in other mining types. Research studies on particulate matter estimation took into consideration mostly machine characteristics (loader bucket volume, truck capacity, number of truck wheels etc.) and atmospheric conditions (air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity etc.). This study emphasizes on particulate matter measurement methods along with other measuring parameters and equipment for particulate matter estimation (TSP, PM10, PM4, PM2.5, and PM1).
Investigation of the effects of psyllium powder addition on the quality of fresh and frozen gluten-free bread
Authors: Can Keman Sevda , Özülkü Görkem
Published: September 2024

The interest in gluten-free (GF) products has been growing since both the increase in prevalence of celiac disease and the preferences of GF diet. In this study, the contribution of psyllium powder (PP) to gluten-free (GF) bread quality, dough rheology and volatile compounds (VCs) profile was investigated throughout the frozen storage period of GF dough (-30 °C for 0, 7, 15, and 30 days). GF doughs containing 7.5% PP (PSY1) and 15% PP (PSY2) had lower tanδ value than GF control dough (p<0.05) according to the results obtained from fundamental rheological analysis. Frozen storage caused no effect on the tanδ value of PSY1 and PSY2 (p ≥ 0.05). PP addition increased the specific volume (SV) of GF breads (p<0.05). No significant effect of frozen storage on SV was shown for PSY2 while SV values of GF control bread (GFB) and PSY1 decreased (p<0.05). Lower crumb hardness was shown for PSY1 and PSY2 on day 0. Significant effect of frozen storage on crumb hardness was observed for PSY1 on day 30 while harder crumb structure was shown for GFB throughout the frozen storage (p<0.05). Psyllium addition led to a significant reduction in both L* value of crust and crumb color (p<0.05). In the VCs analysis performed by HS/GC-MS, ethanol and 1-butanol, 3-methyl from alcohol group, butanal, 3-methyl- and hexanal from aldehydes were common for GFB and GF breads containing psyllium. 1-butanol, 3-methyl-, butanal, 3-methyl- and hexanal were the VCs of PSY1 and they were also shown after frozen storage. This study suggested that quality deterioration due to frozen storage was less in gluten-free breads containing psyllium.
Unelected Representation
Authors: Vik Andrea
Published: September 2024

Greta Thunberg was TIME's Person of the Year in 2019 due to her “...bringing to a fragmented world a voice that transcends backgrounds and borders, for showing us all what it might look like when a new generation leads..” (Felsentahl, 2019). In other words, a young woman without electoral legitimacy has gained public perception as an unelected representative. The concept of unelected representation emerged from the constructivist turn in representation, where representation as a concept is no longer bound by an electoral process but instead created through the communication process of claim-making. Consequently, representation expands to include unelected representation, when unelected representatives make representative claims on behalf of self-articulated constituencies. But what do we know of this concept? In this book entry, I will define and conceptualize unelected representation, why it matters for political communication, the newest research on the subject, and where we can go from here.
Disingenuous ‘box-ticking’: Undergraduate students’ attitudes towards university mental health awareness efforts
Authors: Foulkes Lucy , Finan Sorcha
Published: September 2024

Mental health problems are common amongst UK undergraduate students. In response, many universities have put considerable effort into raising awareness about student mental health problems and avenues of support, for example via workshops, posters, email newsletters and social media posts. Nonetheless, reported rates of mental health problems in students have continued to rise. Despite the ubiquity of awareness efforts, there has been limited research assessing students’ attitudes towards and experience of these initiatives. To address this, in this study, N=15 undergraduate students (aged 18 to 24) from thirteen UK universities were interviewed in depth to explore their attitudes towards the mental health awareness efforts of their respective universities. Using reflexive thematic analysis, three themes were generated: (1) University life directly contradicts university mental health awareness efforts; (2) University mental health awareness efforts are perceived as disingenuous and inadequate; and (3) Students don't want awareness – they want accessible help and supportive communities. These themes highlight the frustration students feel towards what they see as misguided efforts from their universities, and the structural problems at university that make living a mentally healthy life difficult. Simultaneously, the findings highlight the elements of mental health support that students value. The findings of this study have important implications for the designing and implementing of universities’ efforts to improve and support student mental health, while also adding constructively to the wider societal conversation critiquing the impact of mental health awareness efforts.
Buy-in for Buyouts: Attitudes Toward Compensation for Reforms
Authors: Arel-Bundock Vincent , Pelc Krzysztof
Published: September 2024

Political reforms are often impeded by concentrated interest groups who lobby to block change that would benefit the majority. One under-examined policy response is to compensate the recalcitrant group in exchange for agreeing to the reform. We refer to such mass compensation schemes as public buyouts. After laying out the theoretical case for and against buyouts, we design a series of survey experiments to gauge the determinants of public support for buyouts linked to three reforms---phasing out coal energy, simplifying tax filing, and amnesty for dictators. Partisanship appears systematically related to attitudes towards buyouts, as does program design: buyouts find significantly more favour when they target individual workers, rather than companies. Yet the chief objection to buyouts is normative: individuals' "moral aversion" to compensating actors who hold up beneficial reforms dominates other salient concerns, like moral hazard. Our results also highlight a vexing credibility problem: those who support reform also support reneging on the compensation once the reform is passed. Recipients may thus be right to fear policy reversals. Buyouts appear democratically viable as a means of passing beneficial reforms that have been blocked for decades---yet their design proves decisive.

Belief systems are an individual-level construct. Scholars have been unable to study them as such. As a result, key predictions from prominent theories of belief systems and inter-attitude structure have been left untested at the appropriate level of analysis. In four studies (N Study 1 = 387, N Study 2 = 389, N Study 3 = 598, N Study 4 = 1156), we use the conceptual similarity task to measure individual-level belief systems, allowing us to directly test key predictions from theories of political belief systems and inter-attitude structure. In line with hypotheses, we find that identity-based elements are more central to belief systems than policy-based elements, that those who are higher in political knowledge and political engagement have denser belief systems than those who are lower in political knowledge and political engagement, and that attitudes that are more central to belief systems are more stable over time than attitudes that are peripheral to belief systems. In contrast, our results are mixed with respect to whether those higher in political knowledge and political engagement have symbolic elements as more central to their belief systems than those lower in these constructs, and whether those with dense belief systems have more stable attitudes over time. Taken together the mixed support we find for the predictions of prominent theories of belief systems and inter-attitude structure at the individual level of analysis underscores the importance of testing theories at the theoretically appropriate level of analysis.
Virtual Universals and Creativity: A New Approach to Music Cognition
Authors: Steingo Gavin , Ghazanfar Asif
Published: September 2024

If music is so varied, how do we understand it? Is there anything universal about it? And if not, can there be a cognitive science of it? Radically limiting examples so they fit certain frameworks but then calling everything else an exception is not helpful. We propose a redefinition of music that is based not on specific features but rather as creative experimentation with what we term “virtual universals”. These are universals that exert force even when they are not actualized or sounded.

Cognition serves to resolve uncertainty. Living in social groups is widely seen as a source of uncertainty driving cognitive evolution, but sociality can also mitigate sources of uncertainty, reducing the need for cognition. Moreover, social systems are not simply external selection pressures, but rather arise from the decisions individuals make regarding who to interact with and how to behave. Thus, an understanding of how and why cognition evolves requires careful consideration of the co-evolutionary feedback loop between cognition and sociality. Here, we adopt ideas from information theory to evaluate how potential sources of uncertainty differ across species and social systems. Whereas cognitive research often focuses on identifying human-like abilities in other animals, we instead emphasise that animals need to make adaptive decisions to navigate socio-ecological trade-offs. These decisions can be viewed as feedback loops between perceiving and acting on information, which shape individuals’ immediate social interactions, and scale up to generate the structure of societies. Emerging group-level characteristics such as social structure, communication networks, and culture in turn produce the context in which decisions are made and so shape selection on the underlying cognitive processes. Thus, minds shape societies and societies shape minds.

Published: September 2024

Ransomware continues to pose a significant threat to cybersecurity, particularly as it increasingly targets virtual machine environments that are widely used in both enterprise and cloud infrastructures. The novel approach taken through this research involves a comprehensive analysis of ransomware's behavior within virtualized systems, highlighting its evasion techniques, encryption methods, and persistence mechanisms. By employing advanced static and dynamic reverse engineering techniques, the study provides detailed insights into how ransomware interacts with virtual machines, adapting its strategies to circumvent detection and maximize its impact. The findings reveal the complexity and sophistication of ransomware attacks on virtual machines, emphasizing the inadequacy of traditional security measures and the need for a multi-faceted defense strategy. Furthermore, the research offers a foundational understanding that can inform the development of more effective countermeasures, including behavior-based detection systems and enhanced virtual machine introspection methods, to protect against the evolving threat landscape posed through ransomware.
Damage detection in uncertain nonlinear systems based on stochastic Volterra series
Authors: Villani Luis Gustavo , Da Silva Samuel , Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

The damage detection problem in mechanical systems, using vibration measurements , is commonly called Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Many tools are able to detect damages by changes in the vibration pattern, mainly, when damages induce nonlinear behavior. However, a more difficult problem is to detect structural variation associated with damage, when the mechanical system has nonlinear behavior even in the reference condition. In these cases, more sophisticated methods are required to detect if the changes in the response are based on some structural variation or changes in the vibration regime, because both can generate nonlinearities. Among the many ways to solve this problem, the use of the Volterra series has several favorable points, because they are a generalization of the linear convolution, allowing the separation of linear and nonlinear contributions by input filtering through the Volterra kernels. On the other hand, the presence of uncertainties in mechanical systems, due to noise, geometric imperfections, manufacturing irregularities, environmental conditions, and others, can also change the responses, becoming more difficult the damage detection procedure. An approach based on a stochastic version of Volterra series is proposed to be used in the detection of a breathing crack in a beam vibrating in a nonlinear regime of motion, even in reference condition (without crack). The system uncertainties are simulated by the variation imposed in the linear stiffness and damping coefficient. The results show, that the nonlinear analysis done, considering the high order Volterra kernels, allows the approach to detect the crack with a small propagation and probability confidence, even in the presence of uncertainties.
Damage detection in an uncertain nonlinear beam based on stochastic Volterra series: an experimental application
Authors: Villani Luis Gustavo , Da Silva Samuel , Cunha Jr Americo , Todd Michael
Published: September 2024

The damage detection problem becomes a more difficult task when the intrin-sically nonlinear behavior of the structures and the natural data variation are considered in the analysis because both phenomena can be confused with damage if linear and deterministic approaches are implemented. Therefore, this work aims the experimental application of a stochastic version of the Volterra series combined with a novelty detection approach to detect damage in an initially nonlinear system taking into account the measured data variation, caused by the presence of uncertainties. The experimental setup is composed by a cantilever beam operating in a nonlinear regime of motion, even in the healthy condition, induced by the presence of a magnet near to the free extremity. The damage associated with mass changes in a bolted connection (nuts loosed) is detected based on the comparison between linear and nonlinear contributions of the stochastic Volterra kernels in the total response, estimated in the reference and damaged conditions. The experimental measurements were performed on different days to add natural variation to the data measured. The results obtained through the stochastic proposed approach are compared with those obtained by the deterministic version of the Volterra series, showing the advantage of the stochastic model use when we consider the experimental data variation with the capability to detect the presence of the damage with statistical confidence. Besides, the nonlinear metric used presented a higher sensitivity to the occurrence of the damage compared with the linear one, justifying the application of a nonlinear metric when the system exhibits intrinsically nonlinear behavior.
Robust optimization and uncertainty quantification in the nonlinear mechanics of an elevator brake system

Published: September 2024

This paper deals with nonlinear mechanics of an elevator brake system subjected to uncertainties. A deterministic model that relates the braking force with uncertain parameters is deduced from mechanical equilibrium conditions. In order to take into account parameters variabilities, a parametric probabilis-tic approach is employed. In this stochastic formalism, the uncertain parameters are modeled as random variables , with distributions specified by the maximum en-tropy principle. The uncertainties are propagated by the Monte Carlo method, which provides a detailed statistical characterization of the response. This work still considers the optimum design of the brake system, formulating and solving nonlinear optimization problems, with and without the uncertainties effects.
Polynomial Chaos-Kriging metamodel for quantification of the debonding area in large wind turbine blades

Published: September 2024

This study aims to investigate the performance of a data-driven methodology for quantifying damage based on the use of a metamodel obtained from the Polynomial Chaos-Kriging method (PC-Kriging). The investigation seeks to quantify the severity of the damage, described by a specific type of debonding in a wind turbine blade as a function of a damage index. The damage indexes used are computed using a data-driven vibration Structural Health Monitoring (VSHM) methodology. The blade's debonding damage is introduced artificially, and the blade is excited with an electromechanical actuator that introduces a mechanical impulse causing the impact on the blade. The acceleration responses' vibrations are measured by accelerometers distributed along the trailing and the wind turbine blade. A metamodel is formerly obtained through the PC-Kriging method based on the damage indexes, trained with the blade's healthy condition and four damage conditions, and tested with the other two damage conditions. The PC-Kriging manifests promising results for capturing the proper trend for the severity of the damage as a function of the damage index. This research complements the damage detection analyzes previously performed on the same blade.
CRFlowLib — Chemically Reacting Flow Library

Published: September 2024

The simulation of reactive flows is a very challenging task from the computational point of view, as in addition to taking into account all the complex aspects of fluid dynamics, it requires a detailed description of the chemical kinetics involved in the process. Thus, the use of strategies to reduce simulation time is essential. Among the existing reduction techniques, the In Situ Adaptive Tabulation (ISAT) is one of the most promising since it offers a good compromise between accuracy and cost reduction. This paper presents the CRFlowLib, a computational package to simulate chemically reacting flows using ISAT algorithm.
Are women really (not) more talkative than men? A registered report of binary gender similarities/differences in daily word use

Women are widely assumed to be more talkative than men. Challenging this assumption, Mehl et al. (2007) provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each. However, concerns were raised that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates, and too age- and context-homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students. This registered report replicated and extended the previous study of binary gender differences in daily word use to address these concerns. Across 2,197 participants (>5-fold the original sample size), pooled over 22 samples (631,030 ambient audio recordings), men spoke on average 11,950 WPD and women 13,349 WPD, with very large individual differences (<100 to >120,000 WPD). The estimated gender difference (1,073 WPD; d = 0.13; 95% CrI [316; 1,824]) was about twice as large as in the original study. Smaller differences emerged among adolescent (513 WPD), emerging adult (841 WPD), and older adult (-788 WPD) participants, but a substantially larger difference emerged for participants in early and middle adulthood (3,275 WPD; d = 0.32). Despite the considerable sample size(s), all estimates carried large statistical uncertainty and, except for the gender difference in early and middle adulthood, provide inconclusive evidence regarding whether the two genders ultimately speak a practically equivalent number of WPD, based on the preregistered ±1,000 WPD ROPE criterion. Experienced stress had no meaningful effect on the gender difference, and no clear pattern emerged whether the gender difference is accentuated for subjectively rated compared to objectively observed talkativeness.
Helping in Times of Need Cultivates Empathic Concern Over Time

Published: September 2024

We test the hypothesis that wealth is associated with lower empathic concern because wealthier people experience fewer challenges and give help less often to people in need. As predicted, Study 1 (N = 513; cross-sectional) showed wealth was negatively associated with trait empathic concern through experiencing fewer challenges and providing less help. Study 2 (N = 915; longitudinal) replicated this while also revealing unexpected curvilinear associations. At low levels of helping (measured monthly across one year), wealth led to lower empathy through experiencing fewer challenges and less helping. However, more helping led to decreasing empathy at higher levels of helping. Moreover, person-centered analyses showed that people experienced higher state-level empathic concern in months in which they provided moderate amounts of help relative to when they helped less than their usual amount of helping. Results suggest people can cultivate empathy through helping, but only for those who help a moderate amount.
