Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is threatening not only health but also life worldwide. It is important to encourage citizens to voluntarily practise infection-prevention (IP) behaviours such as social distancing and self-restraint. Previous research on social cognition suggested that emphasizing self-identity is key to changing a person's behaviour. The present study investigated whether reminders that highlight self-identity would be effective in changing intention and behaviour related to the COVID-19 outbreak, and hypothesized that those who read reminders highlighting sel

Abstract:
This paper deals with patients who attempt suicide, focusing on their evaluation in the emergency room. It is suggested that as the actual risk of completed suicide in suicide attempters is low, the evaluating psychiatrist might preferentially focus on assessing the patient's motivation for self-destructive behaviour. Recent studies are reviewed which demonstrate a linkage between self-destructive acts and the status of relationships with significant others. An illustrative case history is presented.

Abstract:
The development of children’s use of two social rules concerning learning to share with peers was examined in two studies. Past research on children’s cognitive reasoning suggests that with increasing age, children are less self-centred and more willing to share with others. At the same time, research with adolescents and adults indicates that the context exerts a strong impact on the degree of self-centred behaviour exhibited. In this research, actual sharing behaviour of children was examined in same-gender groups of four participants. Children from kindergarten and Grade 4 participated in S

Abstract Research on work and aging predominantly relies on self-report data to create new insights relevant to individuals, organizations, and society.

This is because what employees actually do is often considerably different from their survey-based reports of what they or others do. In this commentary, we challenge the field to mo

Abstract:
Background:Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterised by fluctuating periods of flare and remission. Flare is a multidimensional change of disease state; whereby flare definitions have previously been formulated using validated composite indices, or through qualitative retrospective investigation of flare states. Smartphone technologies for tracking disease symptoms provide unique, daily insights into self-reported individual flare experience, and may present an opportunity to gain a more complete understanding of flare burden and symptom patterns.Objectiv

Abstract:
Gender has a profound effect on the sexual risk preventive intentions and behaviour of young people. However, little is known about the role of gender on condom use negotiation among adolescents in Ghana. This study explored gender differences in condom use negotiation among school-going adolescents in Ghana. Participants ( n = 684) completed self-report measures based on attitudes towards condom use, subjective norms regarding condom use, perceived behavioural control over condom use, intentions to use condoms, and on actual condom use behaviour. Results revealed statistically significant dif

Abstract:
Behavioral and neuroscientific studies explore two pathways through which internalized social norms promote prosocial behavior. One pathway involves internal control of impulsive selfishness, and the other involves emotion-based prosocial preferences that are translated into behavior when they evade cognitive control for pursuing self-interest. We measured 443 participants’ overall prosocial behavior in four economic games. Participants’ predispositions [social value orientation (SVO)] were more strongly reflected in their overall game behavior when they made decisions quickly than when they s

Abstract The associations between smoking and health are well documented. Using the Healthy Ageing In Scotland (HAGIS) survey linked to the administrative Scottish National Health Service (NHS) records this study analyses health service resource usage by older people according to self-reported smoking status. Individual level smoking status (current, ex-smoker, or never smoked), socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, level of deprivation) and subjective health are sourced from people aged 50+ across Scotland using HAGIS. These responses are then linked to NHS Scottish Morbidity Record

Abstract:
We investigated how love versus lust influences an individual's self-control behavior. We anticipated that individuals primed with love would show a higher degree of self-control than those primed with lust. In Experiment 1 (N = 236 participants), we examined how a hypothetical choice between a healthy and an unhealthy food was influenced by priming with love or lust, and found that participants were more likely to prefer a healthy option when primed with love than when primed with lust. In Experiment 2 (N = 94 participants), we examined our hypothesis with the actual consumption of an unhealt

The participants’ data on subjective perception and objective performance were collected every four weeks over a semester. The active interaction mode group ( n = 18) was required to take care of the plants in the classroom and surrounding areas, while the passive interaction mode group ( n = 17) was not.

To date, no study has directly and simultaneously measured the discrepancy between what people actually eat and what they report eating under observation in the context of energy balance (EB). The present study aimed to objectively measure the ‘extent’ and ‘nature’ of misreporting of dietary intakes under conditions in which EB and feeding behaviour were continuously monitored. For this purpose, a total of fifty-nine adults were recruited for 12 d, involving two 3 d overt phases and two 3 d covert phases of food intake measurement in a randomised cross-over design.

The occurrence of waste could happen intentionally or accidentally, and towards the end, it can impact others. In this situation, consumer behaviour plays an important role in food waste management. By identifying types of behaviour that influence food waste behaviour in order to improve consumer behaviour, it can lead to success in waste management.
