An experience-sampling study of depressive symptoms and their social context.
(J Nerv Ment Dis, 2011-06)Both clinical and subclinical depression are associated with social impairment; however, few studies have examined the impact of social contact in the daily lives of people with depressive symptoms. The current study used ... -
Behavior genetics and postgenomics.
(Behav Brain Sci, 2012-10)The science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal mosaicism, and the nature of the epigenome ... -
Cumulative early life adversity predicts longevity in wild baboons.
(Nat Commun, 2016-04-19)In humans and other animals, harsh circumstances in early life predict morbidity and mortality in adulthood. Multiple adverse conditions are thought to be especially toxic, but this hypothesis has rarely been tested in a ... -
For whom the bird sings: context-dependent gene expression.
(Neuron, 1998-10)Male zebra finches display two song behaviors: directed and undirected singing. The two differ little in the vocalizations produced but greatly in how song is delivered. "Directed" song is usually accompanied by a courtship ... -
Health events and the smoking cessation of middle aged Americans.
(J Behav Med, 2005-02)This study investigates the effect of serious health events including new diagnoses of heart attacks, strokes, cancers, chronic lung disease, chronic heart failure, diabetes, and heart disease on future smoking status up ... -
Operationalizing the social-ecological systems framework to assess sustainability.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015-05-12)Environmental governance is more effective when the scales of ecological processes are well matched with the human institutions charged with managing human-environment interactions. The social-ecological systems (SESs) framework ... -
Responses to conspecific chemical stimuli in the treatment snail Achatina fulica (Pulmonata: Sigmurethra).
(Behavioral biology, 1978-03)The giant African snail, Achatina fulica, followed trails made with the mucus of A. fulica, but did not follow those consisting of mucus from Otala vermiculata. In olfactometer experiments, A. fulica and Helix aperta oriented ... -
Social and physical environments and disparities in risk for cardiovascular disease: the healthy environments partnership conceptual model.
(Environ Health Perspect, 2005-12)The Healthy Environments Partnership (HEP) is a community-based participatory research effort investigating variations in cardiovascular disease risk, and the contributions of social and physical environments to those variations, ... -
Social determinants of health and survival in humans and other animals.
(Science (New York, N.Y.), 2020-05)The social environment, both in early life and adulthood, is one of the strongest predictors of morbidity and mortality risk in humans. Evidence from long-term studies of other social mammals indicates that this relationship ... -
The effect of the home environment on physical activity and dietary intake in preschool children.
(Int J Obes (Lond), 2013-10)BACKGROUND: The effects of the home environment on child health behaviors related to obesity are unclear. PURPOSE: To examine the role of the home physical activity (PA) and food environment on corresponding outcomes in ... -
The serotonin transporter gene polymorphism (5HTTLPR) moderates the effect of adolescent environmental conditions on self-esteem in young adulthood: a structural equation modeling approach.
(Biol Psychol, 2012-09)Here we examine the effects of both self-reported and independent observer-reported environmental risk indices, the serotonin transporter gene promoter (5HTTLPR) polymorphism, and their interaction on self-esteem. This trait ...
