Research suggests that situational characteristics influence attributions for violent events. The present study examined the effect of confrontational female behavior on women's positive and negative attributions for their boyfriends' abusive behavior and the influence of confrontational behavior and attributions on intentions to remain involved with those partners. College women (N = 293) read descriptions of scenes that involved dating conflict and provided attribution ratings and stay/leave intentions. Results showed that female behavior predicted positive and negative attributions as well as behavioral intentions. Individual differences were less critical to the prediction of attributions or intentions. Limitations, future directions, and clinical implications are discussed.

Nasopharyngeal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in a rural population, Sierra Leone.

Int J Med Microbiol

December 2024

Institute of Medical Microbiology, University Hospital Münster, Münster, Germany; Masanga Medical Research Unit, Masanga Hospital, Masanga, Sierra Leone.

Background: Nasopharyngeal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for subsequent infection. Isolates from colonization can therefore provide important information on virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance when data from clinical isolates are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess colonization rates, resistance patterns and selected virulence factors of S.

Network Abnormalities in Ischemic Stroke: A Meta-analysis of Resting-State Functional Connectivity.

Brain Topogr

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT, 06520, USA.

Aberrant large-scale resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) has been frequently documented in ischemic stroke. However, it remains unclear about the altered patterns of within- and across-network connectivity. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify the altered rsFC in patients with ischemic stroke relative to healthy controls, as well as to reveal longitudinal changes of network dysfunctions across acute, subacute, and chronic phases.
