Why are people ‘Lying Flat’? Personal relative deprivation suppresses self‐improvement motivation

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe ‘Lying Flat’ mindset refers to people's low intention to self‐improvement. We hypothesized that personal relative deprivation (PRD), the negative consequence of social comparisons, is one of the reasons that might harm individuals' self‐improvement motivations. In study 1 (N = 313), we found that PRD negatively predicted self‐improvement after controlling for various confounding variables. This result is confirmed in study 2a (N = 3399) and 2b (N = 3219) by using a national representative sample. Furthermore, Study 2a found that the effect of PRD on self‐improvement was mediated by the system‐justifying belief (SJB). In study 3 (N = 160), we experimentally demonstrated that PRD harms self‐improvement and persistence via its effect on SJB. The higher PRD people experienced, the less they endorsed the SJB, which thereby reduced self‐improvement. Taken together, this research manifested that not only would PRD affect people's social beliefs (e.g. SJB) but also hinder self‐improvement motivations.

AbstractAs one of the most important forcing factors, relative sea‐level changes exert a major influence on the building of shelf‐margin clinothems. However, it is still not well understood how these changes control the growth of shelf edges and the condition of sediments transporting into deep water, especially over the individual‐clinothem scale of several 100 ky. On the late‐Quaternary Pearl River margin, there are two distinct shelf‐margin clinothems: SQ3 and SQ4. They have different shelf‐edge trajectories (slight rising vs. steep rising) and different styles of deep‐water deposition (fan lobes consisting mainly of MTDs vs. fan lobes consisting mainly of turbidites). This work takes those SQ3 and SQ4 as study objects and runs a total of 136 experiments from the Dionisos stratigraphic forward model to investigate how relative sea‐level changes control the trajectories of shelf edges and the volumes of MTDs in deep water over the individual‐clinothem scale. Our quantitative results suggest that under the geological background of high sediment supply on the late‐Quaternary Pearl River margin, the duration of highstand systems tracts (HST) relative to lowstand systems tracts (LST) or forced regressive systems tracts (FST) has a significant influence on the building of individual shelf‐margin clinothems. If the relative duration of HST is either very short or very long, slight‐rising shelf‐edge trajectories and large‐volume MTDs would be formed, whereas if the relative duration of HST is comparable with LST or FST, steep‐rising shelf‐edge trajectories and limited MTDs would be formed. Through the constrains of the model set to the real geological condition of the SQ3 and SQ4 clinothems, it is found that SQ3 was caused by the quite long relative duration of HST, which made highstand deltaic systems advance over the pre‐existing shelf‐slope break, leading to significant accretion and instability of the shelf edge and thus, giving rise to the formation of slight‐rising shelf‐edge trajectories and fan lobes with high MTDs contents. SQ4, however, formed as a result of the comparable durations of HST, LST, and FST, which made highstand deltaic systems advance to but not beyond the previous shelf‐slope break allowing the subsequent FST to be directly perched on the clinoform slope. Such building processes did not drive pronounced accretion and instability of the shelf edge and thus, caused the formation of steep‐rising shelf‐edge trajectories and fan lobes with low MTDs contents.

AbstractHydrops fetalis is a rare disorder associated with significant perinatal complications and a high perinatal mortality of at least 50%. Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is more frequent and results from a wide variety of etiologies. One cause of NIHF is lymphatic malformation 6 (LMPHM6) due to biallelic loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in PIEZO1. Most individuals are diagnosed postnatally and only few clinical data are available on fetal presentations. We report six novel biallelic predicted LoF variants in PIEZO1 identified by exome sequencing in six fetuses and one deceased neonate from four unrelated families affected with LMPHM6. During the pregnancy, most cases are revealed by isolated NIHF at second trimester of gestation. At post‐mortem examination ascites, pleural effusions and telengectasies can guide the etiological diagnosis. We aim to further describe the perinatal presentation of this condition which could be underdiagnosed.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate image quality and diagnostic accuracy of buccal bone thickness assessment in maxillary and mandibular anterior region using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3‐dimensional double‐echo steady‐state (DESS) MRI for preoperative planning of immediate dental implants in healthy individuals.MethodsOne hundred and twenty teeth in 10 volunteers were retrospectively evaluated for image quality and artifacts using Likert scale (4 = excellent to 0 = decreased). Buccal bone thickness was measured at three measurement points (M1 = 2 mm from the cementoenamel junction, M2 = middle of the root, and M3 = at the root apex) for each tooth in the maxillary (13–23) and the mandibular anterior region (33–43). Descriptive statistics and two‐way ANOVA with Tukey's Post‐hoc test were performed to evaluate the significant differences (α = 0.05) between both imaging modalities.ResultsImage quality showed little to no artifacts and enabled confident diagnostic interpretation (CBCT (3.72 ± 0.46); MRI (3.65 ± 0.49)), with no significant differences between both imaging modalities (p > 0.05). Regarding the assessment of buccal bone thickness at M1‐M3 for the teeth 13–23 and 33–43, no significant differences were noted (p > 0.05). MRI demonstrated slight, nonsignificant overestimation of thickness with the canines having mainly a thick buccal bone wall, where thin buccal wall was evident for the central incisors.ConclusionBlack bone MRI sequences, such as 3D‐DESS MRI, for immediate implant planning provided confidential diagnostic accuracy in bone thickness assessment without significant disadvantages compared to CBCT. Thus, the implementation of no‐dose protocols for dental rehabilitation using an immediate loading approach seems promising and could further improve the treatment strategy for dental rehabilitation.
Climate‐linked compensation, societal values, and climate change impact: International evidence

Published: December 2022

AbstractResearch question/issueWe examine whether linking executive compensation to climate‐related performance is associated with better firm‐level climate change impact. We also explore the interaction of culture and climate‐linked incentive compensation with climate change impact.Research findings/insightsUsing firm‐level climate change strategy and carbon emissions to measure climate change impacts, we find that climate‐linked compensation is associated with improved climate change strategy. Climate‐related incentives for the CEO and other (operational) executives are found to be negatively associated with firm‐level carbon emissions, although the relationship is not as strong; however, no such association is found for climate‐linked compensation of the board and top‐3 executives. Country‐level attitudes to whether solutions for environmental issues are considered a joint (society) responsibility versus an individual's personal responsibility are found to have an effect on the association between climate‐linked compensation and climate change impacts. We also find that country‐level cultural views enhance the positive association between climate‐linked compensation and climate change strategy but not the association with actual firm‐level carbon emissions. Further analysis shows that non‐US firms drive our study's findings. Finally, improvement in climate strategy is found to have a positive effect on Tobin's Q but has no effect on profitability.Theoretical/academic implicationsAcademic research is growing on the role of climate change risk and carbon emissions in corporate decisions. The findings of our study are important given that linking executives' compensation with climate performance is gaining momentum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine any link between climate‐linked compensation and climate change impact.Practitioner/policy implicationsWhile climate‐linked compensation is associated with positive changes in climate strategy, its association with firm‐level carbon emissions is promising. This is particularly the case when this compensation is offered to executives who are likely to make operational decisions with a direct impact on a firm's carbon footprint and carbon emissions.
Spanish‐speaking caregivers’ use of referential labels with toddlers is a better predictor of later vocabulary than their use of referential gestures

AbstractVariation in how frequently caregivers engage with their children is associated with variation in children's later language outcomes. One explanation for this link is that caregivers use both verbal behaviors, such as labels, and non‐verbal behaviors, such as gestures, to help children establish reference to objects or events in the world. However, few studies have directly explored whether language outcomes are more strongly associated with referential behaviors that are expressed verbally, such as labels, or non‐verbally, such as gestures, or whether both are equally predictive. Here, we observed caregivers from 42 Spanish‐speaking families in the US engage with their 18‐month‐old children during 5‐min lab‐based, play sessions. Children's language processing speed and vocabulary size were assessed when children were 25 months. Bayesian model comparisons assessed the extent to which the frequencies of caregivers’ referential labels, referential gestures, or labels and gestures together, were more strongly associated with children's language outcomes than a model with caregiver total words, or overall talkativeness. The best‐fitting models showed that children who heard more referential labels at 18 months were faster in language processing and had larger vocabularies at 25 months. Models including gestures, or labels and gestures together, showed weaker fits to the data. Caregivers’ total words predicted children's language processing speed, but predicted vocabulary size less well. These results suggest that the frequency with which caregivers of 18‐month‐old children use referential labels, more so than referential gestures, is a critical feature of caregiver verbal engagement that contributes to language processing development and vocabulary growth.Research Highlights
We examined the frequency of referential communicative behaviors, via labels and/or gestures, produced by caregivers during a 5‐min play interaction with their 18‐month‐old children.
We assessed predictive relations between labels, gestures, their combination, as well as total words spoken, and children's processing speed and vocabulary growth at 25 months.
Bayesian model comparisons showed that caregivers’ referential labels at 18 months best predicted both 25‐month vocabulary measures, although total words also predicted later processing speed.
Frequent use of referential labels by caregivers, more so than referential gestures, is a critical feature of communicative behavior that supports children's later vocabulary learning.

AbstractObjectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with excessive fetal growth in later gestation.Recent data suggest accelerated growth may begin before 28 weeks' gestation when GDM is typically diagnosed. The identification of pregnancies at risk of early fetal growth would enable early intervention. We assessed the use of early pregnancy HbA1c in predicting excessive fetal growth.Research Design and MethodsWomen were recruited at antenatal booking from a major maternity unit in the UK. HbA1c was measured at <14 weeks gestation in 1243 women at risk of GDM as defined by UK NICE risk factors of whom 1115 underwent OGTT. Women with previous GDM were excluded. Comprehensive fetal ultrasound was performed at 28 weeks' gestation alongside 75 g OGTT in 976 of these women. GDM was defined using WHO criteria. Pregnancy outcomes were extracted from the regional maternity care database.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty‐six women screened positive for GDM. At diagnosis, GDM pregnancies demonstrated higher adjusted fetal weight percentile than non‐GDM pregnancies: (51.8 vs. 46.3, p = 0.008). This was driven by increases in the fetal abdominal circumference percentile in GDM compared with non‐GDM pregnancies (55.3 vs. 46.2, p = <0.001). Early pregnancy HbA1c was higher in the GDM versus non‐GDM group: (35.7 mmol/mol vs. 32.9 mmol/mol p = <0.01). A threshold for predicting excessive fetal growth was not identified in this cohort.ConclusionsAccelerated fetal growth is evident prior to the diagnosis of GDM. There remains a need for suitable methods of early identification of pregnancies at high risk for early accelerated fetal growth due to GDM. First‐trimester HbA1c was not useful in identifying these pregnancies.Novelty StatementWhat is already known?

Recent research suggests excessive growth associated with GDM may begin prior to 28 weeks' gestation, when GDM is typically tested for

What this study has found?

Pregnancies affected by GDM are already subject to accelerated fetal growth in comparison to non‐GDM pregnancies by way of higher estimated fetal weight and fetal abdominal circumference

Neither first‐trimester HbA1c nor plasma glucose was useful predictors of these outcomes

What are the implications of this study?

Highlights the emergence of excessive growth prior to detection of GDM

Reinforces need for suitable methods of identifying such pregnancies in earlier gestation

AbstractThe reciprocal interaction between pain and negative affect is acknowledged but pain‐related alterations in brain circuits involved in this interaction, such as the mediodorsal thalamus (MDThal), still require a better understanding. We sought to investigate the relationship between MDThal circuitry, negative affect and pain severity in chronic musculoskeletal pain. For these analyses, participants with chronic knee pain (CKP, n = 74) and without (n = 36) completed magnetic resonance imaging scans and questionnaires. Seed‐based MDThal functional connectivity (FC) was compared between groups. Within CKP group, we assessed the interdependence of MDThal FC with negative affect. Finally, post hoc moderation analysis explored whether burden of pain influences affect‐related MDThal FC. The CKP group showed altered MDThal FC to hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex and subgenual anterior cingulate. Furthermore, in CKP group, MDThal connectivity correlated significantly with negative affect in several brain regions, most notably the medial prefrontal cortex, and this association was stronger with increasing pain burden and absent in pain‐free controls. In conclusion, we demonstrate mediodorsal thalamo‐cortical dysconnectivity in chronic pain with areas linked to mood disorders and associations of MDThal FC with negative affect. Moreover, burden of pain seems to enhance affect sensitivity of MDThal FC. These findings suggest mediodorsal thalamic network changes as possible drivers of the detrimental interplay between chronic pain and negative affect.

AbstractSpecies competing for resources also commonly share predators. While competition often drives divergence between species, the effects of shared predation are less understood. Theoretically, competing prey species could either diverge or evolve in the same direction under shared predation depending on the strength and symmetry of their interactions. We took an empirical approach to this question, comparing antipredator and trophic phenotypes between sympatric and allopatric populations of threespine stickleback and prickly sculpin fish that all live in the presence of a trout predator. We found divergence in antipredator traits between the species: in sympatry, antipredator adaptations were relatively increased in stickleback but decreased in sculpin. Shifts in feeding morphology, diet and habitat use were also divergent but driven primarily by stickleback evolution. Our results suggest that asymmetric ecological character displacement indirectly made stickleback more and sculpin less vulnerable to shared predation, driving divergence of antipredator traits between sympatric species.
Reciprocity and interaction effectiveness in generalised mutualisms among free‐living species
Authors: Quintero Elena , Rodríguez‐Sánchez Francisco , Jordano Pedro 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMutualistic interactions among free‐living species generally involve low‐frequency interactions and highly asymmetric dependence among partners, yet our understanding of factors behind their emergence is still limited. Using individual‐based interactions of a super‐generalist fleshy‐fruited plant with its frugivore assemblage, we estimated the Resource Provisioning Effectiveness (RPE) and Seed Dispersal Effectiveness (SDE) to assess the balance in the exchange of resources. Plants were highly dependent on a few frugivore species, while frugivores interacted with most individual plants, resulting in strong asymmetries of mutual dependence. Interaction effectiveness was mainly driven by interaction frequency. Despite highly asymmetric dependences, the strong reliance on quantity of fruit consumed determined high reciprocity in rewards between partners (i.e. higher energy provided by the plant, more seedlings recruited), which was not obscured by minor variations in the quality of animal or plant service. We anticipate reciprocity will emerge in low‐intimacy mutualisms where the mutualistic outcome largely relies upon interaction frequency.
Divergence in rates of phenotypic plasticity among ectotherms
Authors: Einum Sigurd , Burton Tim 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAn individual's fitness cost associated with environmental change likely depends on the rate of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and yet our understanding of plasticity rates in an ecological and evolutionary context remains limited. We provide the first quantitative synthesis of existing plasticity rate data, focusing on acclimation of temperature tolerance in ectothermic animals, where we demonstrate applicability of a recently proposed analytical approach. The analyses reveal considerable variation in plasticity rates of this trait among species, with half‐times (how long it takes for the initial deviation from the acclimated phenotype to be reduced by 50% when individuals are shifted to a new environment) ranging from 3.7 to 770.2 h. Furthermore, rates differ among higher taxa, being higher for amphibians and reptiles than for crustaceans and fishes, and with insects being intermediate. We argue that a more comprehensive understanding of phenotypic plasticity will be attained through increased focus on the rate parameter.
Defining null expectations for animal site fidelity

Published: December 2022

AbstractSite fidelity—the tendency to return to previously visited locations—is widespread across taxa. Returns may be driven by several mechanisms, including memory, habitat selection, or chance; however, pattern‐based definitions group different generating mechanisms under the same label of ‘site fidelity’, often assuming memory as the main driver. We propose an operational definition of site fidelity as patterns of return that deviate from a null expectation derived from a memory‐free movement model. First, using agent‐based simulations, we show that without memory, intrinsic movement characteristics and extrinsic landscape characteristics are key determinants of return patterns and that even random movements may generate substantial probabilities of return. Second, we illustrate how to implement our framework empirically to establish ecologically meaningful, system‐specific null expectations for site fidelity. Our approach provides a conceptual and operational framework to test hypotheses on site fidelity across systems and scales.
