Novel effects also emerged for benevolent sexism. Men's higher benevolent sexism predicted lower aggressive parenting, and women's higher benevolent sexism predicted greater aggressive behavior toward partners, irrespective of power and relationship quality. The current study provides the first longitudinal demonstration that men's hostile sexism predicts residual changes in aggression toward both intimate partners and children. Such aggressive behavior will intensify the health, well-being, and developmental costs of the pandemic, highlighting the importance of targeting power-related gender role beliefs when screening for aggression risk and delivering therapeutic and education interventions as families face the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19.

With prevalence estimates ranging from 10% to 28%, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (GPPPD) is an important sexual problem resulting in negative consequences for affected women and their partners, including significant sexual dysfunction and dissatisfaction. Findings from cross-sectional studies indicate that higher levels of intimacy are associated with better sexuality outcomes in couples coping with GPPPD. However, single-occasion measurements may not capture the daily variations in intimacy that could have important implications for couples' sexual well-being. The present study focused on a key intimacy-building component-perceived partner responsiveness (PPR)-and its daily associations with women's pain and both partners' sexual function and satisfaction. Using daily diaries over an 8-week period, 160 women (Mage = 26.23, SD = 6.26) with GPPPD and their partners (Mage = 27.73, SD = 7.35) reported on PPR, sexual function and satisfaction, as well as women's pain, on days when sexual activity occurred (M = 8.87, SD = 5.87). Drawing on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, a multivariate multilevel modeling approach was adopted. Controlling for trait-level PPR, when women and partners reported greater PPR, women reported greater sexual function and satisfaction and partners reported greater sexual function. When partners reported greater PPR, they reported greater sexual satisfaction. No association was found between PPR and women's pain. PPR may facilitate better sexual function and satisfaction and could be an important target in sex and couple therapy for GPPPD.

Unpublished tool by T. Malti, 2017.). We present a systematic psychometric evaluation of the SERT using data from two different samples of 4-8-year-old children from Canada (N = 291, Mage = 6.55 years, SDs = 2.02, 50% boys in Sample 1 and N = 282, Mage = 6.57 years, SDs = 1.56, 49% boys in Sample 2). Children reported their anticipated emotions in six vignettes describing three domains of transgressions [aggressive acts (AA), prosocial omission (PO), and social exclusion (SE)]. Caregivers rated children's sympathy and prosocial and aggressive behaviors. Results supported a one-factor ("domain-general") model over a three-factor ("domain-specific") model, indicating convergence of anticipated emotions across vignettes and domains. Measurement invariance was established across gender and age groups, indicating the robustness of the assessment. Construct validity was supported by associations with sympathy and less robustly, with prosocial and aggressive behavior. We discuss the use of SERT as an assessment tool for children's social-emotional capacities in research and practice settings.

However, cross-cultural measurement invariance is rarely achieved and detecting the source of noninvariance is often challenging. In particular, when different language versions of a measure are administered to different cultural groups, noninvariance on certain items may originate either from translation inconsistencies (translation bias) or from actual differences between cultural groups (culture bias). If, on the other hand, a measure is administered in a common language version (e.g., English), item noninvariance may also result from comprehension issues of nonnative speakers (comprehension bias). Here, we outline a procedure suitable for dissociating these sources of item noninvariance, termed the culture, comprehension, and translation bias (CCT) procedure. The CCT procedure is based on a between-subjects design comparing samples from two different cultures who complete a measure in either the same or a different language version. We demonstrate in a simulation study and illustrate in an empirical example with actual cross-cultural data how performing multiple pairwise comparisons across (a) groups differing in culture but not in language, (b) groups differing in language but not in culture, and (c) groups differing in both culture and language allows to pinpoint the source of item noninvariance with high specificity. The CCT procedure thus provides a valuable tool for improving cross-cultural assessment through directing the process of item translation and cultural adaptation.

In a known groups comparison, currently depressed adults with SAD had significantly higher SBQ scores than currently depressed adults with nonseasonal major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls, and the MDD group had significantly higher SBQ scores than controls.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/acy-775.html  Using that database, this study explored the predictive validity of using an SBQ cutoff score to differentiate SAD from MDD. Receiver operator characteristic curve analyses used SBQ total score to predict SAD versus MDD, SAD versus control, and MDD versus control status. The SBQ subscale combined score, derived from multivariable logistic regression with SBQ subscales, was examined as an alternative predictor. SBQ total score with a cutpoint of 132 had good predictive ability for distinguishing SAD from MDD (C-statistic = .
