The maximization personality trait refers to the tendency to face decision-making situations along a continuum from exhaustively analysing all the options (maximize) to choosing the one that exceeds a subjective threshold of acceptability (satisfy). Research has revealed the influence of maximizing on decision making, although little is known about its possible role in high risk and high uncertainty situations. A sample of 153 active Spanish nurses, with an average experience of 11 years, completed a maximization questionnaire and responded to written vignettes depicting time-demanding decision making in which three options were offered, representing delayed action, non-action, and immediate action.

- - Evidence shows that online only child sexual abuse (OOCSA) has serious negative effects on victims, and understanding its scale can help law enforcement target suspects effectively.
- - A review identified eleven studies on the impact of OOCSA, revealing five key themes in how it affects victims, while a prevalence study estimated various costs associated with OOCSA, suggesting a significant financial and emotional toll.
- - The total estimated lifetime costs of OOCSA range from £7.4 million to £1.4 billion, with over 75% of these costs being non-financial impacts on victims, indicating a major social and economic burden that necessitates improved police action and prioritization.
Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, and while screening for it could enhance survival rates, current methods aren't suitable for most asymptomatic adults; targeting high-risk groups, especially those with new-onset diabetes (NOD), is crucial.
- The UK-EDI study will recruit 2,500 adults over 50 with NOD, conducting follow-ups every six months for three years to gather data and biospecimens that can help in developing biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer.
- The study has received ethical approval and aims to share findings through conferences and peer-reviewed publications, aiming to influence future research and detection strategies.
Two studies examined whether rapport-based interviewing with child sexual abuse (CSA) suspects provides greater interview yield that could result in overall cost-savings to the investigation. First, multi-level modelling was applied to 35 naturalistic CSA suspect interviews to establish whether rapport-based interviewing techniques increase "yield" - defined as information of investigative value. The Observing Rapport Based Interviewing Technique (ORBIT coding manual was used to code interviews; it includes an assessment of both interpersonal adaptive and maladaptive rapport-based interviewer engagement as well as motivational interviewing (MI) strategies.

High exposure of adolescents to video games has been linked to a variety of disorders, but the relationship between problem video game playing and emotional welfare is unknown. The aim of the study is to analyse problem video game playing in a sample of adolescents and to determine whether there are differences between online and offline players, in addition to examining its relationship with anxiety and depressive symptomatology.

In doing so, unbiased techniques can be used to assess hits and false alarms and to obtain standardized distributions for each experimental condition. Our results confirm the existence of differences in word recognition memory for experimental exposition time, type of words and other pre-experimental effects.
