In accord with social information processing theory, executive function and childrearing beliefs may play significant roles in preventing negative childrearing practices. Still, the interplay of these two components is not well understood. The current study tested the moderating role of authoritarian childrearing beliefs in the relation between caregiver executive function and negative childrearing practices. The sample included 50 predominantly low-income caregivers of children between 3 and 5 years of age. The results indicated that executive function was significantly and inversely related to inconsistent and hostile childrearing practices only among caregivers who reported high levels of authoritarian childrearing beliefs. Executive function and childrearing practices were unrelated among caregivers who reported low levels of authoritarian childrearing beliefs. The findings suggest that intervention programs for caregivers may need to target childrearing beliefs.

Corporal punishment (CP) is a widely extended practice within Ecuadorian households. However, there is international pressure to ban it, CP is not considered a topic of relevance either for researchers nor public policy, and there is a lack of information about this phenomenon, its causes, and effects in this specific context. That is why this research aims to identify common beliefs supporting CP usage inside homes since beliefs have been found to shape individual behavior at the same time they are socially and culturally produced.

Burgeoning neuroimaging research documents the associations between working memory (WM)-associated neural and behavioral responses. However, these associations have yielded small and inconsistent effect sizes. We hypothesize that one reason for the weakened brain-behavior associations stems from different environmental contexts.

Article Synopsis
- Culicoides oxystoma is a significant vector for various diseases affecting livestock and wildlife in tropical and subtropical regions, necessitating a deeper understanding of its associated bacterial communities.
- The study cataloged the bacteria present at different life stages of C. oxystoma, comparing lab-reared specimens with those collected from the field, using techniques like Sanger sequencing of 16S rRNA to identify dominant bacterial phyla.
- Key findings revealed that Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, particularly Bacillus species, were prevalent in multiple life stages, indicating their potential role in influencing the vector's capacity, digestion, and larval development and highlighting areas for future research.
