The Socialization of Cultural Values and the Development of Latin American Prosociality
Authors: Cortes Barragan Rodolfo , Meltzoff Andrew N. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTUnderstanding childhood socialization across multiple world cultures is important for developing comprehensive and generalizable theories of developmental psychology. Studies suggest that Latin American children show markedly high levels of prosocial behavior. In this article, we theorize that this hyper‐prosociality is supported by a particular cluster of “other‐oriented” values that are fundamental to Latin American culture—including the values of simpatía, respeto, acomedirse, familismo, and cariño. Based on our review of 60 papers describing studies with more than 12,000 participants, we discuss these values in adult caregivers and examine socialization processes that facilitate the intergenerational transfer of Latin American prosocial values from caregivers to children. The study of Latin American children yields new and important insights into cultural influences on prosocial behavior, while at the same time promoting inclusion and scientific generalizability. Social experiences, which vary by culture, undergird the development of human prosociality.

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo investigate the extent of the association of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with co‐occurring poor self‐reported oral health (SROH) and multimorbidity in middle‐aged and older adults, and whether these associations differ by age and sex.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study used data from 27 765 adults aged 45–85 years from the first follow‐up wave (2015–2018) of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). Four categories were generated to assess co‐occurring SROH and multimorbidity: (i) good SROH, no multimorbidity; (ii) poor SROH, no multimorbidity; (iii) good SROH, multimorbidity and (iv) poor SROH and multimorbidity. Age‐and sex‐stratified multinomial logistic regressions were used to examine associations of ACEs (e.g. childhood maltreatment, neglect, parental death, serious illness or separation) with co‐occurring poor SROH and multimorbidity, adjusted for the confounders race/ethnicity, income, level of education, smoking status and alcohol consumption.ResultsOver a third of participants reported having multimorbidity (35.3%), 10.4% reported poor SROH, and almost 30% of participants had experienced at least one ACE. There was a gradient in the association between higher ACEs and each of the health outcome categories, with the greater odds being for the co‐occurrence of poor SROH and multimorbidity (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.44). The associations between ACEs and adverse health outcomes in later life were significant across age groups and sexes, with middle‐aged females demonstrating the strongest associations.ConclusionsACEs are linked to an increased non‐communicable chronic disease burden and poor oral health among middle‐aged and older Canadians, highlighting the importance of prevention in early life and the focus on psychosocial factors over the life course for healthy aging.

AbstractHuman activity in the North Sea is intensifying, as emerging uses, such as offshore wind farms (OWFs) and liquid natural gas (LNG) terminals, are added to fishing, freight shipping, and fossil fuel production as traditional forms of resource exploitation. The volume and scale of these additional installations are projected to increase substantially in the coming decades, which amplifies the need to better understand the biological implications of human activities in the ecoregion. Previous studies have identified that offshore wind turbines either pose a physical barrier to flying animals, leading to avoidance and displacements, or act as ecological traps by interfering with sensory input, leading to increased attraction, collision risk, and mortality. Here we aim to characterize the impacts of marine artificial light pollution at night (ALAN) on offshore migratory birds and bats and discuss implications for conservation policy and practice. Considering littoral states aim to multiply the OWF capacity by a factor of eight before the year 2050, a significant increase in the cumulative impacts of ALAN can be expected. In light of these developments, we discuss the potential for scientifically informed, anticipatory, and ecosystem‐based marine governance.

ABSTRACTAimUnderstanding the distribution of marine biodiversity is critical for evidence‐based identification of areas for protection and restoration. Taxonomic richness is a key, intuitive component of biodiversity and is often used to guide marine spatial planning and protection. In this study, we explore the relative merits of two spatial modelling approaches, stacked species distribution models (S‐SDMs) and macro‐ecological models (MEMs), for mapping the richness of benthic invertebrate taxa.LocationNew Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone.MethodsTwo hundred and seven individual layers from SDMs of benthic invertebrate genera were pooled from an existing database and stacked to create a single genera richness layer. The same occurrence data used to develop the SDMs, comprising over 120k occurrences, was used to fit MEMs using an ensemble modelling approach.ResultsThe S‐SDM layer performed poorly when validated against a database of observed genera richness, while the MEM approach performed well. While there were some consistencies in the areas predicted as high richness, substantial differences between the methods were also apparent, with the MEM seemingly better able to discern nuanced, fine‐scale patterns in richness. Areas of high richness predicted by the MEM include parts of the Chatham Rise, a large component of the sub‐Antarctic region, continental‐shelf and coastal habitat in the south of the South Island, the north‐east coast of the North Island, around East Cape and the Kermadec, Lau‐Colville and Macquarie Ridges.Main ConclusionsSpatial and catchability biases in the underlying occurrence data may contribute to the poor performance of the S‐SDM and suggest the approach may not be appropriate when using occurrence datasets with limited systematic sampling. The predictions from the MEM provide the best available information for the distribution of benthic invertebrate richness for New Zealand waters and thus offer important information for current and future marine spatial planning processes.

AbstractMotivationUnderstanding the consequences of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site is crucial for global nuclear disarmament, environmental protection, and community‐centred social policies. This article highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the inhabitants of the Abay region in Kazakhstan.PurposeThe primary objective of the study is to inform and enhance policies related to the former Semipalatinsk nuclear testing site. A key focus is understanding how locals perceive the site's impact on socioeconomic development.Methods and ApproachThis study uses semi‐structured interviews with locals. The research question addresses how locals perceive the impact of the Semipalatinsk test site on socioeconomic development. Data were collected through 48 interviews from January to March 2024 in the cities of Semey and Kurchatov and thematic patterns were analysed within Galtung's (1990) social justice framework.FindingsThe research shows how prolonged neglect by government impacts the investment climate and social well‐being. Restricted access to information on land contamination has hindered explanatory work. The study reveals gaps in understanding among residents and varying access to information.Policy ImplicationsAn effort on the part of the government to improve information and communication exchange is needed to address the nuclear site's impact, considering differing perceptions. Legislative actions should focus on remediating contamination, protecting public health, and ensuring participatory environmental governance. Policies must address the socioeconomic effects of environmental degradation, promoting social justice and sustainable development. Targeted infrastructure investment is vital for economic growth. Supporting emerging sectors such as medicine, services, and knowledge‐based industries will create employment opportunities and address brain drain.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTMultisystemic Therapy (MST) is an evidence‐ and family‐based treatment for youth with serious aggressive and delinquent behavior. Despite randomized controlled trials demonstrating short‐ and long‐term effectiveness of MST, arrest is still a concern for many youths who complete treatment. Prior studies examined risk factors for arrest after MST treatment but accounted for risk at pre‐treatment rather than over the course of treatment and failed to consider the combined impact of risk and protective factors by the end of treatment on long‐term outcomes. Models of resilience suggest that when faced with cumulative stress, the effects of family could serve as a protective factor that promotes either stabilizing, enhancing, or reactive effects. As such, the current study examined family environment (i.e., cohesion and flexibility) at the end of treatment as a moderator of relations between cumulative stress by the end of treatment and the likelihood of arrest at follow‐up. Results demonstrated that high family cohesion and flexibility served as protective factors by decreasing the likelihood of arrest when cumulative stress was low; however, these effects faded as cumulative stress increased. These results suggest the protective effects of known targets of MST (i.e., family cohesion and flexibility) do not buffer against post‐treatment arrest for all youth in treatment. Treatment targeting family cohesion and flexibility is less likely to be effective in preventing arrest for youth that continue accumulating stressful life events during treatment. Results of this study suggest that MST treatment should be further tailored to account for these families.

ABSTRACTVariability in larval transport has long been hypothesized to drive recruitment fluctuations in fishes, yet evidence for these hypotheses is often lacking. Further, the origins of many of these hypotheses come from temperate to subpolar regions, leaving such questions largely underexplored for other regions, especially the tropics. To assess drivers of larval transport in a tropical archipelago, we simulated the dispersal of a culturally and commercially important bottomfish, uku (Aprion virescens), from Penguin Bank, its most prominent spawning location in the main Hawaiian islands. We used Lagrangian particle tracking models forced by a regional ocean model to assess the degree of interisland potential connectivity from this spawning location and the drivers of interannual variability in this potential connectivity across 13 years from 2008 to 2020. Simulated uku larvae released from Penguin Bank primarily reached Maui Nui and Oʻahu, the nearest potential settlement areas, with lower potential connectivity to more distant regions. Interannual variability in overall number of connections was pronounced and linked both to local wind speed and direction, with increased particle loss occurring during higher overall wind speeds and more northerly winds. Recruitment deviations from the stock assessment of uku showed a similar pattern, with recruitment estimates significantly decreasing during years of strong northerly winds. Our results provide evidence, derived from a simulation model integrating ecological and physical components, of larval dispersal patterns contributing to the recruitment of a socioeconomically important species and sensitivity of these patterns to local wind forcing. Understanding how these wind patterns will change in a warming climate may be essential to understanding patterns in uku recruitment in coming years.

ABSTRACTWhether species extinctions have accelerated during the Anthropocene and the extent to which certain species are more susceptible to extinction due to their ecological preferences and intrinsic biological traits are among the most pressing questions in conservation biology. Assessing extinction rates is, however, challenging, as best exemplified by the phenomenon of ‘dark extinctions’: the loss of species that disappear before they are even formally described. These issues are particularly problematic in oceanic islands, where species exhibit high rates of endemism and unique biological traits but are also among the most vulnerable to extinction. Here, we document plant species extinctions since Linnaeus' Species Plantarum in Macaronesia, a biogeographic region comprised of five hyperdiverse oceanic archipelagos, and identify the key drivers behind these extinctions. We compiled 168 records covering 126 taxa, identifying 13 global and 155 local extinction events. Significantly higher extinction rates were observed compared to the expected global background rate. We uncovered differentiated extinction patterns along altitudinal gradients, highlighting a recent coastal hotspot linked to socioeconomic changes in Macaronesian archipelagos from the 1960s onwards. Key factors influencing extinction patterns include island age, elevation, introduced herbivorous mammals, and human population size. Trait‐based analyses across the floras of the Azores and Canary Islands revealed that endemicity, pollination by vertebrates, nitrogen‐fixing capacity, woodiness, and zoochory consistently tended to increase extinction risk. Our findings emphasize the critical role of geography and biological traits, alongside anthropogenic impacts, in shaping extinction dynamics on oceanic islands. Enhancing our knowledge of life‐history traits within island floras is crucial for accurately predicting and mitigating future extinction risks, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive biodiversity assessments in island ecosystems.

ABSTRACTIntroductionThis study explored the relationship between post dialysis fatigue (PDF) and dialysis recovery time (DRT) with perceived stress and depression.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted on 223 patients on hemodialysis (HD). We collected demographic, laboratory and clinical variables [including depression and perceived stress levels measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI‐II)] to explore their association with PDF and DRT.FindingsOf the total, 120 patients suffered PDF and 103 did not. Groups differed in Charlson comorbidity index, dialysate sodium concentration, dialysate temperature, and BDI score, but had similar perceived stress levels. Logistic regression identified BDI and Charlson scores as independently associated with PDF. Of 130 patients, DRT was ≤ 120 min, and in 73, it was > 120 min, with higher BDI scores in the latter. Stratifying by perceived stress levels showed no significant differences in PDF or DRT. However, PDF and DRT were higher in patients with BDI > 17, and perceived stress levels strongly correlated with BDI.ConclusionWhile PDF and DRT are not significantly linked to perceived stress, they are strongly associated with depression levels in HD patients.

ABSTRACTIntroductionThe Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) programme is a stakeholder informed intervention adopting the biopsychosocial pain approach, specifically for people with hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) experiencing pain. The programme topics included were based on a modified Delphi of a large sample of stakeholders: people with hEDS/HSD and healthcare practitioners who are experienced with managing these conditions. Programme feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness were previously evaluated quantitatively in a pilot randomised controlled trial, but the in‐depth experiences and perceptions of participants who engaged with the programme is unknown.MethodsQualitative study. 1:1, semi‐structured online interviews of participants who took part in the HOPE programme. Data was analysed using an inductive thematic analysis approach as described by Braun and Clark.ResultsTwelve participants were interviewed; 91% were female, mean age 38.1 (SD 9.1). Four themes emerged: (1) The biopsychosocial approach to understanding pain used in the HOPE programme was acceptable and appropriate, (2) benefits of the programme were stronger for those who were newer on their hEDS/HSD journey, (3) self‐guided reflections included in the programme required headspace and personal meaning and (4) participants desired more adaptable content and programme functionality. Additionally, participants gave suggestions on how to improve the content, adherence and engagement to the programme.ConclusionThe HOPE programme was considered feasible, acceptable and appropriate for people with hEDS/HSD. The four themes and suggestions from our study findings will be used to refine subsequent versions and large‐scale trials of the HOPE programme, as well as provide translatable insights for other online interventions for hEDS/HSD or similar complex, chronic multisystemic conditions.Patient or Public ContributionA large community of hEDS/HSD patients' and healthcare providers' input were obtained from a two‐staged online Delphi from a prior study. This approach was preferred to capture the greatest amount of feedback from a diverse international voice. Via the Delphi study, they provided suggestions for content topics and consensus on what they felt were important to include in a hEDS/HSD specific online pain management programme, as well as programme parameters (e.g., duration and frequency of programme; healthcare provider telehealth component; types of learning activities).

Aims‘Vascular intrusion’ is a proposed but poorly recognised phenomenon of colorectal adenomas whereby dysplastic epithelium is forced into blood vessels. This study aimed to validate its existence and to characterise histological features that distinguish it from true vascular invasion.Methods and resultsThree gastrointestinal pathologists independently assessed 38 colorectal polyps showing possible vascular intrusion as two cohorts. After the cohort A (15 cases) assessment, the pathologists met to decide upon diagnostic criteria and consensus diagnoses. They met again after the cohort B (23 cases) assessment to establish final consensus diagnoses. Histological features found to favour vascular intrusion were: absence of adenocarcinoma; presence of adjacent epithelial misplacement; low‐grade cytology; crush artefact; and presence of lamina propria among the intravascular glands. The proportion of cases where all three pathologists independently agreed upon diagnoses of vascular intrusion versus vascular invasion increased from 53% for cohort A to 74% for cohort B. However, while there were final consensus diagnoses of vascular intrusion and vascular invasion for 21 and seven cases, respectively, the assessors were unable to agree upon either diagnosis for 10 cases. Follow‐up of 17 patients who had undergone polyp resection > 3 years previously (including eight with consensus diagnoses of vascular intrusion) did not demonstrate recurrent or metastatic colorectal carcinoma.ConclusionsVascular intrusion may be caused by forcing of adenoma into vessels as part of epithelial misplacement or during resection or laboratory processing of the polyp. Histological features of the intravascular glands and surrounding adenoma help to distinguish this benign/artefactual phenomenon from true vascular invasion.
POLITICAL BRINKMANSHIP AND COMPROMISE

Published: February 2025

AbstractWe study how do‐or‐die threats ending negotiations affect gridlock and welfare when two opposing parties bargain. Failure to agree on a deal in any period implies a continuation of the negotiation. However, under brinkmanship, agreement failure in any period may precipitate a crisis with a small chance. In equilibrium, such brinkmanship threats improve the probability of an agreement, but also increase the risk of crisis. Brinkmanship reduces welfare when one might think it is most needed: severe gridlock. In this case, despite this global welfare loss, a party has incentives to use brinkmanship strategically to obtain a favorable bargaining position.
