Given the explicit ageist messages in the media, we anticipated increases in both benevolent and hostile ageism in the context of COVID-19. Moreover, we predicted that age and initial COVID-related concerns would influence both initial levels and change over time in ageism, with younger adults and those who were more concerned about COVID-19 exhibiting higher levels of both types of ageism. Adults (N = 325, M-age = 39.7) were surveyed at 5 time points across the first 4 months of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. A series of growth curve analyses was conducted to examine individual differences in ageism and change over time for each type of ageism. We were able to detect individual differences in both benevolent and hostile ageism. Benevolent ageism and hostile ageism decreased over time. Although age and COVID-19 concerns were associated with initial levels of ageism, neither influenced the rate of change. Our results demonstrate that benevolent ageism and hostile ageism decreased over the first 4 months of the U.S. pandemic. As a dynamic situation, changes may require a longer period of time in order to be detected.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42064269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants (N = 185, M-age = 36.9, SDage = 5.87) were screened to be above the age of 21 and to have consumed alcohol in the previous 12 months and were asked to complete an online survey in February of 2021. Survey responses were analyzed to assess the hypothesized moderating effects of social support and loneliness on the Tension Reduction Theory's proposed relationship between perceived stress and substance use. Results demonstrated several negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, namely increased loneliness and perceived stress related to pandemic-specific stressors. Social support was negatively related to pandemic stress while loneliness and pandemic stress were positively related. Contradicting study hypotheses, negative binomial regression results indicated that increased pandemic stress did not predict alcohol consumption;on the other hand, loneliness was unexpectedly shown to predict fewer days-per-month alcohol use. This pattern of results suggests that more sophisticated multivariate models may be more appropriate to predict and model substance use than reductionistic theories of self-medication. Particularly given the unique contextual factors of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that substance use behaviors vary as functions of their social context. Pandemic factors that may have deterred greater alcohol use are discussed.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41491347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jackson","doi":"10.1037/tps0000328","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/tps0000328","url":null,"abstract":"As the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to impact the globe, it is increasingly urgent to determine to what degree individual differences predict risk perceptions and protective behaviors that can potentially mitigate the spread of the disease. Past research has linked masculine and feminine gender norms with risk perceptions as well as a variety of health behaviors. The current study surveyed U.S. adults (N = 479) about their perceptions of the COVID-19 threat to themselves and other people, mask wearing, and conformity to relevant gender norms. Results indicate that conformity to gender norms shape risk perceptions and mask wearing behavior. Specifically, masculine autonomy norms, risk-taking norms, and antifeminine norms either directly or indirectly predicted less mask wearing, often due to lower perceived threat to self or others. Feminine communal norms predicted greater mask wearing due to increased perceived threat to others. This indicates that conformity to different gender norms may alter risk calculations and that concern about others is at least as important as concern about the self in understanding what motivates people's protective health behaviors. Public health messaging that aligns with communal norms by emphasizing one's ability to protect others or that aligns with masculine norms such as how the behavior will promote their self-reliance may be particularly effective at promoting a range of COVID-19 prevention behaviors that will likely be required for several years. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement The present study suggests that gender norms shape people's responses to COVID-19, including mask wearing behavior and whether they are primarily concerned about risk to themselves or to other people. Those who value their autonomy are less likely to wear masks, and those who value relationships are more likely to wear masks because they are concerned about others. This shows that how individuals perceive risk is important for developing specific public health messaging that engages different audiences.

Such activities have been promoted as a way to develop both acting performance skills and more generalizable habits such as creativity, empathy, or communication. However, research on these questions is not often placed in a real world setting such as a theatre conservatory, and rarely does it follow students longitudinally. In the current study, we analyze 6 years of mixed-methods data from a theatre conservatory for students aged 5 – 18. Each occurrence of data includes teacher ratings of students’ 21st Century Skills (Creativity, Problem Solving, Initiative, Communication and Collaboration) and teacher and student open-ended qualitative comments. A Cross-Classified Hierarchical Linear Model was employed and revealed significant skill level growth over semesters enrolled and significant skill decrease with advancement through class levels. In other words, for each semester in the program, 21st Century Skills increased, but advancing through theatre class levels showed lowered levels of growth. Skill variance was attributable to semester, followed by child factors, and teacher factors. Qualitative data was analyzed using a priori theory-driven coding and grounded theory thematic coding; results reflect the quantitative results across 21st Century Skill constructs. Our findings suggest participation in theatre arts classes promote positive youth development and generalizable abilities, and as teachers judge students more stringently in higher levels, theatre may be affording 21st Century habits rather than","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47208924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
