AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored how personal relative deprivation (PRD)—the feeling of being worse off compared to similar others—affects people's explanations for outcomes in their lives, focusing on the concept of locus of control (the extent to which individuals believe they can control events).
- Across eight studies involving 6,729 participants, results showed that those with higher PRD tended to attribute outcomes to external factors (like luck or circumstance) rather than internal factors (such as their own abilities), regardless of their socioeconomic status.
- The findings suggest that PRD not only consistently correlates with external locus of control across different cultures but also influences how individuals interpret events in their lives, indicating a significant psychological effect
Article Abstract
Objective: We investigated the relationship between personal relative deprivation (PRD)-resentment from the belief that one is worse off than people who are similar to oneself-and locus of control.
Background: Research has yet to comprehensively investigate whether PRD is associated with a tendency to favor external (vs. internal) explanations for self- and other-relevant outcomes.
Method: Eight studies (N = 6729) employed cross-sectional, experimental, and (micro)longitudinal designs and used established trait and state measures of PRD and loci of control.
Results: Participants higher in PRD adopted more external (vs. internal) explanations for others' outcomes while controlling for socio-demographics (e.g., socioeconomic status; Studies 1-4). This relationship was mediated by a lowered sense of personal control (Study 1) and evident in a cross-national sample of participants in Asia (Study 2). PRD is more robustly associated with external than internal explanations for self and other-relevant outcomes (Studies 5-8), and within-person changes in PRD are positively associated with within-person changes in external explanations (month-to-month and day-to-day; Studies 7-8).
Conclusions: PRD is positively associated with external locus of control independent of socioeconomic status, within and between people, and across cultures. This research highlights the implications of PRD for people's construal of the causal forces that govern their lives.

Objective: Breast ultrasound (BUS) is used to classify benign and malignant breast tumors, and its automatic classification can reduce subjectivity. However, current convolutional neural networks (CNNs) face challenges in capturing global features, while vision transformer (ViT) networks have limitations in effectively extracting local features. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a deep learning method that enables the interaction and updating of intermediate features between CNN and ViT to achieve high-accuracy BUS image classification.

The cyclopoid copepod species Apocyclops royi has attracted significant attention due to its importance in marine food webs and its role as a vital food source for many marine organisms, particularly marine fish larvae. This study aims to understand the activity patterns, osmoregulation mechanisms, and physiological adaptations of A. royi in response to acute decreasing salinities.

Background And Purpose: Atypical meningiomas are prevalent intracranial tumors with varied prognoses and recurrence rates. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) in atypical meningiomas remains debated. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model incorporating machine learning techniques and clinical factors to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with atypical meningiomas and assess the impact of ART.

Purpose: To explore the feasibility of Deep learning radiomics nomograms (DLRN) in predicting IDH genotype.
Methods: A total of 402 glioma patients from two independent centers were retrospectively included, and the data from center I was randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 239) and an internal validation cohort (n = 103) on a 7:3 basis. Center II served as an independent external validation cohort (n = 60).
