ANCOVA is a widely used statistical procedure that is particularly useful in analyzing data from experimental designs. There are, however, a number of assumptions that must be tested before proceeding with the ANCOVA. Of particular concern is the assumption of homogeneity of regression slopes (HOS). When the HOS assumption has been violated, the researcher needs to look for an alternative approach to the ANCOVA. The Johnson-Neyman procedure (J-N) is presented as such an alternative. Although the calculations for the procedure are somewhat tedious and are not currently a standard feature of statistical software packages, an alternative approach using SAS syntax codes is presented.

Maternal alexithymia and caregiving behavior: the role of executive functioning - A FinnBrain Birth Cohort study.
Arch Womens Ment Health
November 2024
Department of Clinical Medicine, The FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study, Turku Brain and Mind Center, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how parental cognitive abilities (executive functioning) and emotional processing difficulties (alexithymic traits) affect the emotional quality of parent-child relationships (emotional availability).
- Researchers measured these factors in 119 mothers with young children, finding that higher alexithymic traits were linked to poorer caregiving abilities.
- The results suggest that parents with lower cognitive executive functioning may struggle more with emotional availability, indicating the need for further research into the interaction between these traits.
Maternal Phubbing and Problematic Media Use in Preschoolers: The Independent and Interactive Moderating Role of Children's Negative Affectivity and Effortful Control.
Psychol Res Behav Manag
August 2024
Shanghai Institute of Early Childhood Education, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Given that mother plays the main nurturing role in a family unit and their unique influence on children's development, the current study aimed to examine the influence of maternal phubbing on children's problematic media use and the independent and interactive moderating role of children's negative affectivity and effortful control.
Methods: Participants were 1986 children aged 3 to 6 years in Shanghai, China. Their mothers were asked to complete a series of questionnaires including parental phubbing scale, problematic media use measure, and child behavior questionnaire.
Detection of neurophysiological markers of cognitive reserve: an EEG study.
Front Aging Neurosci
August 2024
Department of Preventive Gerontology, Center for Gerontology and Social Science, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Background And Objectives: Cognitive reserve (CR) is a property of the brain that allows for better-than-expected cognitive performance relative to the degree of brain change over the course of life. However, neurophysiological markers of CR remain under-investigated. Electroencephalography (EEG) features may function as suitable neurophysiological markers of CR.

Background: The cycle of violence highlights a strong correlation between child maltreatment and aggression. However, there remains a significant gap in the pathway models of the cycle of violence. Given the exceptionally high rates of child maltreatment and violent crime among Chinese drug users, it is essential to examine the mechanisms of the cycle of violence within this group.
