Past meta-analyses of the effects of priming on overt behavior have not examined whether the effects and processes of priming behavioral or nonbehavioral concepts (e.g., priming action through the word and priming religion through the word ) differ, even though these possibilities are important to our understanding of concept accessibility and behavior. Hence, we meta-analyzed 351 studies (224 reports and 862 effect sizes) involving incidental presentation of behavioral or nonbehavioral primes, a neutral control group, and at least one behavioral outcome. Our random-effects analyses, which used the correlated and hierarchical effects model with robust variance estimation (Pustejovsky & Tipton, 2021; Tanner-Smith et al., 2016), revealed a moderate priming effect ( = 0.37) that remained stable across behavioral and nonbehavioral primes and across different methodological procedures and adjustments for possible inclusion/publication biases (e.g., sensitivity analyses from Mathur & VanderWeele, 2020; sensitivity analyses from Vevea & Woods, 2005). Although the findings suggest that associative processes explain both the effects of behavioral and nonbehavioral primes, lowering the value of a behavior weakened the effect only when the primes were behavioral. These findings support the possibility that even though both types of primes activate associations that promote behavior, behavioral (vs. nonbehavioral) primes may provide a greater opportunity for goals to control the effect of the primes.

Telehealth has been shown as a tool to improve health access and outcomes in rural areas. There is less literature examining the usability and utility of telehealth by rural and low-income populations. Existing literature focuses on examining telehealth usability for specific telehealth platforms and specific use cases.

Working memory (WM), a key component of cognitive functions, is often impaired in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. Through a genome-guided drug repurposing approach, we identified fampridine, a potassium channel blocker used to improve walking in multiple sclerosis, as a candidate for modulating WM. In a subsequent double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial in 43 healthy young adults (ClinicalTrials.

Schools are a promising access point for youth with mental health concerns, but school-based mental health professionals (SPs) often need ongoing support to provide high-fidelity cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Adherence and competence, two critical elements of fidelity, were examined in a cluster-randomized implementation trial. We evaluated CBT adherence and then triangulated CBT adherence with end-of-study competence.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research shows that how individuals perceive their socioeconomic status (SES) on a ladder system is closely linked to their health outcomes, even beyond traditional measurements like income and education.
  • The study explores different ladders measuring respect and social influence, finding that these ladders also relate to behaviors like smoking and exercise, but mainly the traditional U.S. SES ladder predicts health behavior.
  • The findings emphasize the need to investigate factors like physical activity, feelings of respect, and non-behavioral influences on health disparities, as they can provide insights beyond conventional SES measures.

The role of facial cues in signalling cooperativeness is limited and nuanced.

Sci Rep

September 2024

Department of Biology, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

Humans display a remarkable tendency to cooperate with strangers; however, identifying prospective cooperation partners accurately before entering any new relationship is essential to mitigate the risk of being exploited. Visual appearance, as inferrable, for example, from facial images on job portals and dating sites, may serve as a potential signal of cooperativeness. This experimental study examines whether static images enable the correct detection of an individual's propensity to cooperate.
