Family Dynamics and Young Adults' Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Sibling Bullying.

Although a common form of family violence, sibling bullying is often viewed as harmless by families and society. Consequently, it has not received as much attention in research compared with peer bullying or other types of family violence, such as interpartner violence, child abuse, and elder abuse. Considering that sibling relationships have lasting effects on children's development, this retrospective study focused on the antecedents and outcomes of sibling bullying.

Attentional bias toward alcohol-related stimuli in heavy drinkers: evidence from dynamic eye movement recording.

Background: It has been proposed that attentional biases toward alcohol stimuli are contributing factors maintaining problematic drinking behavior.

Objective: The main goal of the present set of studies was to provide an examination of dynamic attentional mechanisms associated with alcohol consumption derived from eye movement monitoring.

Method: Undergraduate students were recruited for two studies.

The impact of familiarization strategies on the missing-letter effect.

When reading a text and searching for a target letter, readers make more omissions of the target letter if it is embedded in frequent function words than if it is in rare content words. While word frequency effects are consistently found, few studies have examined the impacts of passage familiarity on the missing-letter effect and studies that have present conflicting evidence. The present study examines the effects of passage familiarity, as well as the impacts of passage familiarization strategy promoting surface or deep encoding, on the missing-letter effect.
