To investigate impression formation, researchers tend to rely on statements that describe a person's behavior (e.g., "Alex ridicules people behind their backs"). These statements are presented to participants who then rate their impressions of the person. However, a corpus of behavior statements is costly to generate, and pre-existing corpora may be outdated and might not measure the dimension(s) of interest. The present study makes available a normed corpus of 160 contemporary behavior statements that were rated on 4 dimensions relevant to impression formation: morality, competence, informativeness, and believability. In addition, we show that the different dimensions are non-independent, exhibiting a range of linear and non-linear relationships, which may present a problem for past research. However, researchers interested in impression formation can control for these relationships (e.g., statistically) using the present corpus of behavior statements.

Previous research has identified a number of stereotypical beliefs about sexual crimes, particularly in relation to child sexual abuse and rape. We suggested that these beliefs may be the result of a negative halo effect (i.e.

When we hear someone speak, we do not just perceive "a voice." Instead, we use the sound of the voice to make sense of who we are talking to. If the voice is unfamiliar, we form an often complex first impression by inferring various characteristics about the person.

Applying physico-analytical methods to whole hair fibers enables investigation of hair dye performance. Light microscopy, SEM imaging and EDX mapping of intact hair fibers, as well as TEM imaging of microtome cuts, provided insights into the distribution, size, shape and growth patterns of the dyeing species and particles, thus demonstrating the correlation between silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and dye impression. Yak hair fibers were treated with a polyphenol-containing L.

This study aimed to investigate the association between serum ferritin levels and functional impairment in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In addition, we investigated whether this relationship remained significant after controlling for core symptom severity and examined the correlations between ferritin levels and ADHD symptom levels. The sample included 88 children aged 6-13 years: 44 diagnosed with ADHD and 44 healthy controls (HCs) matched for age and sex.

Background: Training radiology residents to perform CT-guided procedures can be challenging due to limited access to scanner time, competition for procedures with other residents and fellows and the risk of exposing patients to unnecessary additional radiation due to the inexperience of the primary operator. Simulation training has shown great benefit in reducing patient risk and increasing training opportunities. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a high-fidelity 3D-printed model as an interventional radiology training tool for trainees.
