AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzes self-reported surveys from 2,441 college students on childhood maltreatment, alcohol expectancies, and narcissistic traits to explore their links to intimate partner violence.
  • It finds that both male and female participants experience relationship violence related to child sexual abuse, but certain factors like negative alcohol expectancies and narcissism traits are notably linked to violence in men only.
  • The results indicate significant differences in how these variables affect men and women, with stronger connections between child abuse and violent behavior in men, highlighting the need for gender-specific approaches in policy discussions.

Article Abstract

Male ( = 1,104) and female ( = 1,337) college students' self-report surveys on childhood maltreatment, alcohol expectancies, and narcissistic personality traits are examined to determine their associations with relationship violence. Intimate partner violence was measured using the violence subscales of the revised Conflict Tactics. Because we were interested in the effects of gender and because tests of the correlations and tests of means indicated men and women differed significantly on several variables, ordinary least squares regression models were run separately for men and women. Results suggest there are both gender similarities and differences. Relationship violence was associated with child sexual abuse for both men and women, whereas high scores on negative alcohol expectancies and vulnerable narcissism, and low scores on grandiose narcissism, were significantly associated with violence for men only. In addition, tests revealed the regression coefficients for child sexual abuse and negative alcohol expectancies were significantly different for men and women. Child sexual abuse and alcohol expectancies had stronger associations with men's than women's violent behavior. In addition, the models explained a greater amount of variance in men's than in women's behavior. Policy implications of the research will be discussed.

Synergistic binding ability of electrostatic tweezers and femtosecond laser-structured slippery surfaces enabling unusual droplet manipulation applications.

We propose a novel contactless droplet manipulation strategy that combines electrostatic tweezers (ESTs) with lubricated slippery surfaces. Electrostatic induction causes the droplet to experience an electrostatic force, allowing it to move with the horizontal shift of the EST. Because both the EST and the slippery operating platform prepared by a femtosecond laser exhibit a strong binding effect on droplets, the EST droplet manipulation features significant flexibility, high precision, and can work under various operating conditions.

Mechanical interatomic bond formation under ultrahigh pressure induced by laser-driven shock waves has been demonstrated for C-C, C-O, and O-O bonds. In this study, molecules generated in primary amine solutions irradiated with high-intensity lasers were identified. When methylamine or ethylamine was dissolved in methanol or ethanol, molecules likely formed through C-C or O-N bonds between the amine and alcohol were detected.
