In this study, we examine the links between low self-control, risky lifestyles, and victimization. Specifically, we explore a full mediation model to test whether risky lifestyles (unstructured activity, association with deviant peers, and delinquency) account for the effect of low self-control on victimization. For the current study, we apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to data from 1057 South Korean adolescents. The results indicate that low self-control only has an indirect effect on victimization, primarily through unstructured time and one's own delinquency. Risky lifestyles were found to fully mediate the influence of low self-control on victimization. The findings demonstrate the utility of the integration of self-control with routine activities and lifestyle theories as a robust framework through which to examine victimization. Specifically, the results suggest that individuals maintaining low levels of self-control self-select into contexts that are conducive to victimization, increasing their attractiveness and suitability as targets for victimization in the absence of capable guardians.

The Influence of Parental Social-Emotional Competencies on Intergenerational Child Maltreatment: A Scoping Review.
Trauma Violence Abuse
January 2025
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, USA.
Child maltreatment is a major public and global health issue with well-documented intergenerational patterns. Social-emotional development, which is detrimentally impacted by child maltreatment, has been associated with parenting behaviors and implicated as a mechanism of intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment. This scoping review sought to synthesize information on the social-emotional skills that contribute to or protect against intergenerational maltreatment.

Here, we report a water-induced supramolecular polymer adhesive formed from confined water and an intrinsically amphiphilic macrocyclic self-assembly in a nanophase-separated structure. The selenium-containing crown ether macrocycle, featuring a strong hydrophilic hydrogen-bond receptor (selenoxide) and a synergistic hydrophobic selenium-substituted crown core, confines water within a segregated, interdigitated architecture. While water molecules typically freeze around 0 °C, the confined water in this supramolecular polymer remains in a liquid-like state down to -80 °C.

Self-Reported Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Orofacial Esthetics Among Young Adults With Treated Dental Trauma.
Clin Exp Dent Res
February 2025
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Institute of Odontology at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore how young adults with a history of dental trauma and restored teeth perceive their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and orofacial esthetics, with a focus on gender-based differences.
Materials And Methods: This pilot study is a retrospective case-control study. Young adults experiencing dental trauma and consequently receiving dental treatment were asked to answer CPQ11-14, Oral Esthetic Scale (OES), and some complimentary questions concerning the esthetics of their teeth.
Social defeat predicts the emergence of psychotic-like experiences through the effects on aberrant salience: insights from a network analysis of longitudinal data.
Psychol Med

Department of Psychiatry, Wroclaw Medical University, Pasteura 10 Street, 50-367 Wroclaw, Poland.
Background: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are subclinical phenomena that often precede the onset of psychosis and occur in various mental disorders. Social determinants of psychosis and PLEs are important and have been operationalized within the social defeat (SD) hypothesis. The SD hypothesis posits that low social status and exposure to repeated humiliation can lead to imbalanced dopamine neuron activity, and thus increased risk of psychosis.
