Article Abstract
Maladaptive risk attitudes, such as extreme risk seeking and risk aversion, are closely linked to psychopathology such as psychopathy and anxiety. Having culturally appropriate assessments of risk attitudes is essential for the research of psychology and psychopathology of responses to risk in a target population. We aimed to develop and validate the multi-domain risk tolerance (MDRT) scale for the multi-ethnic Singaporean population. Initial items were constructed from revising the item pool used in the previous study via interviews with Singaporean community-dwelling adults ( = 31). The candidate items of the MDRT were then tested and selected via a subsequent survey study ( = 882). A second longitudinal study ( = 1003) with two time-point measurements was conducted to validate the MDRT scale. The results suggested that the scale had satisfactory structural validity, criterion validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. The MDRT scale also demonstrated scalar measurement invariance across genders and age groups. The results further highlighted the importance of cultural adaptation of measures in risk attitudes and continuing improvement of assessment and understanding of risk attitudes across populations.

An estimated 254 million people live with hepatitis B worldwide, with only 13% of people diagnosed and 3% receiving antiviral treatment. Without timely treatment, people with hepatitis B risk developing liver damage and liver cancer. In countries like Australia, where most people with hepatitis B are born in countries with higher prevalence, it is important that the knowledge and perceptions of hepatitis B in immigrant populations are explored to improve engagement in care.

Background: Cancer survivors may be more likely to experience accelerated declines in physical function compared to cancer-free controls, but objective data and knowledge of preventive interventions are limited.
Methods: The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study was a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized trial conducted at 8 centers across the United States that enrolled 1635 sedentary adults aged 70-89 years and with physical limitations but who could walk 400 m at baseline, of which 371 (22.7%) reported a history of cancer.

Background: Hispanic/Latina women in the United States have high rates of cervical cancer and little is known regarding how sociocultural factors might be related to their cervical cancer prevention behaviors.
Purpose: Two studies examined correlates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation, HPV vaccine completion, ever screening for cervical cancer, and being up to date with screening among screening- and vaccine-eligible Hispanic/Latina women.
Methods: Study 1 examined sociodemographic correlates of these behaviors using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Introduction: Despite decades of research and intervention, aggressive driving behavior (ADB) remains a prevalent risk on our roads. This study aimed to systematically review how drivers' personality traits, perceptual tendencies, self-regulatory capacity, and psychological functioning, have been linked to the engagement of ADBs.
Method: Under guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, a literature search was performed in four databases, followed by a manual search in Google Scholar.
