Article Abstract
Adolescents are often resistant to interventions that reduce aggression in children. At the same time, they are developing stronger beliefs in the fixed nature of personal characteristics, particularly aggression. The present intervention addressed these beliefs. A randomized field experiment with a diverse sample of Grades 9 and 10 students (ages 14-16, n = 230) tested the impact of a 6-session intervention that taught an incremental theory (a belief in the potential for personal change). Compared to no-treatment and coping skills control groups, the incremental theory group behaved significantly less aggressively and more prosocially 1 month postintervention and exhibited fewer conduct problems 3 months postintervention. The incremental theory and the coping skills interventions also eliminated the association between peer victimization and depressive symptoms.

Machine Learning and Lexical Rule-Based Cost-Efficient Emotion Annotation of Hinglish Utterances.

Emotion annotation in code-mixed languages like Hinglish (Hindi-English) presents unique challenges due to linguistic complexity and resource constraints. This study introduces a hybrid active learning framework that combines lexical rules, machine learning, and iterative expert feedback to achieve cost-efficient, high-accuracy emotion annotation. Grounded in psychological theories of emotion, including Discrete Emotions Theory and Cognitive Appraisal Theory, the framework employs bilingual emotion dictionaries (e.

Developmental plasticity at the behavioral repertoire level allows animals to incrementally adjust their behavioral phenotypes to match their environments through ontogeny. Quantifying this plasticity in sufficient resolution across substantial periods of development, however, has been challenging. Here, we use high-resolution tracking to monitor 45 genetically identical Amazon mollies ( reared in near-identical environments over their first four weeks of life.

Cognitive performance during cognitive-motor dual-task (CMDT) varies with exercise intensity. According to the inverted-U theory, low-to-moderate intensity enhances cognition, but this remains unexplored in trained individuals who may better sustain cognitive performance at high intensities due to improved prefrontal cortex (PFC) homeostasis. Additionally, how sustained attention influences neuromuscular fatigue during whole-body CMDT is unclear.

Fiber metal laminates are applied in aerospace equipment due to their excellent crack propagation performance. However, during the service process of fiber metal laminates, the coupling between overload effect and fiber bridging effect makes the crack propagation behavior complex, which makes it difficult to predict. Addressing this issue, the fatigue crack propagation behavior of Fiber/Al-Li laminates under typical overload conditions was analyzed and predicted in this paper.
