Individuals can sway legal, medical, employment, or other decisions by dishonestly self-reporting on psychological tests. Accordingly, the Comprehensive Assessment of Traits relevant to Personality Disorder (CAT-PD) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) include validity scales to detect overreporting and underreporting. Although many studies have empirically tested the validity scales of the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF, fewer have done so with the updated MMPI-3, and none with the CAT-PD.

- People with higher attachment avoidance often perceive self-change in relationships as a loss, which can lead to lower commitment in those relationships.
- Research found that this perceived loss of self does not align with external indicators, such as behaviors or third-party assessments.
- Four studies confirmed that avoidantly attached individuals experience a greater sense of self-loss but fail to have that loss reflected in objective measures, highlighting a disconnect between subjective experiences and external observations.
Background: PDA and ASD are common intracardiac shunts noted in prematurely born infants. While there is evidence of persistent PDA and ASD associated with a higher risk for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (ICS-BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (ICS-BPD-PH), the underlying pathogenesis is poorly understood and hence challenging to identify at-risk infants. Our study goal was to evaluate transcriptomic expression and associated pathways in tracheal aspirates (TAs) of low-birth-weight infants with hemodynamically significant cardiac shunt (ICS) that develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (ICS-BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (ICS-BPD-PH).

The purpose of this pilot study was to gather preliminary data on the use of humor in the raising of children.
Materials And Methods: We developed and administered a 10-item survey to measure people's experiences being raised with humor and their views regarding humor as a parenting tool.
