PCA reveals multidimensional patterns of covariation across behavioral measures that discriminate resilience and susceptibility. (A) Markedly greater explained variance by the first principal components (PCs), particularly PC1-3, than expected from shuffled data. (B) PCA map, which uses PC1 and PC2 ...
Using evidence-based methods, behavioral scientists analyze why people behave as they do and design interventions to address real-world challenges in areas like health, public policy, and business.

We used a structural equation mod- eling approach to test associations with single and multi-mediation effects of behavioral and contextual indicators on GrimAge, adjusted for covariates. Results The ADHD-PGS was significantly and directly associated with GrimAge when adjusting for covariates. In ...
