Pathological behaviors toward drugs and food rewards have underlying commonalities. Risk-taking has a fourfold pattern varying as a function of probability and valence leading to the nonlinearity of probability weighting with overweighting of small proba
In this paper, we provide an explanation for why risk taking is related to optimism. Using a laboratory experiment, we show that the degree of optimism pre
We previously noted no adverse effects of breastfeeding associated with AED use on IQ at age 3 years, but IQ at age 6 years is more predictive of school performance and adult abilities. Objectives To examine the effects of AED exposure via breastfeeding on cognitive functions at age 6 years...
Overall, while the ability of single pre-treatment brain scans to guide clinical decision making is an important goal, the current neuroimaging literature does not point to any immediate clinical applications of neuroimaging biomarkers due to inconsistent findings and small sample sizes (Table1). Furth...
(~1/7 of total) was shown to student participants in the scanner, while performance was measured using an exam deliberately designed to span the entire course. Therefore, to explain the predictive power of alignment-to-class, we need to go beyond lecture-specific effects. We submit that ...
Aims/Background Our study aimed to evaluate transient elastography (TE) (Fibroscan®, Echosens, Paris) and Fibrotest® (Biopredictive, Cambridge) in patients taking methotrexate for psoriasis. Method Chi square test was used for the comparison of dichotomous variables, and Mann-Whitney U test ...
The Risk Index was then calculated for each subject. Results The answers of 710 skiers (mean age 35.5, range 16–81 years) were analyzed. The predictive power for risk-taking behavior was tested for gender, age, educational level, level of skiing, years of skiing, and helmet usage. ...
The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to quantify the effect of induced negative and positive mood on meal consumption in healthy participants and patients with eating and weight disorders.The search term "MOOD" was combined with the following keywords: "TEST MEAL" or "LABORATORY...
This study examines the role of women included in governance system in explaining the impact of dividend policy framework on the risk-taking of banks, using a panel dataset of 52 African countries over the period, 2006–2020. The empirical outcome confir
the role of gender as a moderator might help to better explain the predictive role of selfie expectancies in photo manipulation. Contrary to several previous findings that found a female predominance in selfie-related activities and photo-editing strategies (Bij de Vaate et al.,2018; Dhir et al...
