The paper addresses the topic of how much an individual likes a stimulus and also how much that individual prefers it to other stimuli. Research is reviewed showing that the context in which the stimulus is presented affects both liking and preference judgments. Having subjects think of the context stimuli and the test stimuli as being in different categories reduces the impact of the context stimuli on the ratings of the test stimuli and might be used to avoid such context effects in determining liking of and preferences for stimuli.

Preference for and resistance to a toxic sulfur volatile opens up a unique niche in Drosophila busckii.
Nat Commun
January 2025
Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany.
The ability to tolerate otherwise toxic compounds can open up unique niches in nature. Among drosophilid flies, few examples of such adaptations are known and those which are known are typically from highly host-specific species. Here we show that the human commensal species Drosophila busckii uses dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) as a key mediator in its host selection.

Southwest China is characterized by high plateaus, large mountain systems, and deeply incised dry valleys formed by major rivers and their tributaries. Despite the considerable attention given to alpine plant radiations in this region, the timing and mode of diversification of the numerous dry valley plant lineages remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the macroevolution of Isodon (Lamiaceae), a lineage commonly distributed in the dry valleys in southwest China and wetter areas of Asia and Africa.

The Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation provides non-clinical social support for adults living with a diagnosed mental illness or self-reported mental ill-health (referred to as 'members'). The Stepping Stone Clubhouse in Brisbane, Australia was evaluated between August 2022 and August 2023 using a participatory action research approach. Data was sourced from member surveys, member interviews, and an existing Clubhouse Member Database.

J Craniofac Surg
November 2024
Division of Plastic Surgery, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital.
Background: Patient satisfaction surveys usually overlook differences in patient family experience (PFE) for families whose spoken language is different from that of the treating physician. This study examines the relationship between language-discordant care and patient experience.
Methods: A retrospective review of deidentified pediatric plastic surgery PFE survey responses from 2018 to 2021 was performed with permission from Lurie Children's Hospital's PFE Team.
The gender gap in STEM: (Female) teenagers' ICT skills and subsequent career paths.
PLoS One
January 2025
University of Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany.
Skills shortage in the fields of Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) poses a significant challenge for industries globally. To overcome shortage of STEM talent, the selection into STEM fields must be fully understood. We contribute to existing research on the selection of STEM careers by analysing the interplay between teenagers' proficiency in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and their career preferences in the STEM domain.
