Mothers (N = 330) were induced to prioritize self-worth or self-improvement among children (Mage = 10.24 years; 48% girls) . Mothers induced to prioritize self-worth (vs. self-improvement) used more success-oriented responses in both regions (ds = 0.53 and 0.35). Mothers induced to prioritize self-improvement (vs. self-worth) used more failure-oriented responses only in the United States (d = 0.29). Mothers' success-oriented responses predicted more positive beliefs and affect in a cognitive task among children (βs = .10-.18). Taken together, the findings support the importance of parents' goals in the socialization process. Among hospitalised patients, diagnostic radiation is possibly used least on pregnant patients due to the fear of ionising radiation on the fetus; however, what levels are currently being prescribed? To assess the cumulative levels of ionising radiation received by pregnant patients during a single admission to a tertiary hospital. A retrospective audit of pregnant patients admitted to Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia, Australia, between 2013 and 2017 inclusive was performed. All procedures utilising ionising radiation were collected including conventional radiology, computed tomography, fluoroscopy and nuclear medicine. Individual and cumulative effective doses for mother and fetus were calculated using patient dose reports and published conversion factors. From 547 patients, the median cumulative effective dose was 0.02 mSv and only five patients received more than 10 mSv, with 19.07 mSv the highest dose received. The median fetal cumulative effective dose was 0.01 mSv but only three fetuses procedures received or the lack of diagnostic information if avoided? The present work describes the
