However, teams comprising highly agreeable dogs and humans performed poorly in the obstacle course.

When considering the facets of mentalization (i.e., self-related mentalization, other-related mentalization and motivation to mentalize), self-related mentalization predicted reduced psychological distress, whereas other-related mentalization predicted greater life satisfaction and quality of interpersonal relationships. Mindfulness accounted for a comparable portion of the variance in interpersonal functioning as mentalization, suggesting that mindful awareness may serve as a foundation for reflective processes that enable understanding of self and others.

As a tooling species, modern humans show remarkable abilities when it comes to understanding and manipulating complex tools, such as a microscope. Nevertheless, our earliest technological steps, at least the first ones for which we have archaeological evidence, were stone tools, which today might appear easier to grasp than a highly sophisticated surgical telemanipulator. However, the complexity and diversity of lithic industries require a certain level of knowledge to be fully understood. Thus, the question remains whether modern humans can truly extract relevant features from stone tools to distinguish them, for example, from stones fractured by uncontrolled percussion (broken stones), which might look like the first lithic industries. Naive participants, divided into two groups with one receiving a training about stone tool features and the other not, were asked to distinguish stone tools from broken stones. Results show that participants needed a minimal level of knowledge to distinguish choppers or handaxes from broken stones. Nevertheless, trained participants were still not able to correctly classify unknown types of stone tools as tools, suggesting that they needed deeper knowledge to transfer their skills. Our findings underline the important role of technical knowledge in our ancestors’ expertise in stone knapping.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72746,"journal":{"name":"Current research in behavioral sciences","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100205"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146188184","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}

Previous research has supported the interpersonal role of SC, and examining its association with Prestige may further advance the theoretical framework for understanding how SC promotes adaptive social outcomes. Because Authentic Pride has been shown to have a causal relationship with Prestige and is also empirically associated with SC, the present study proposes Authentic Pride as a relevant construct for understanding potential associations between SC and Prestige. The study conceptualizes SC as a process that may increase Authentic Pride through both behavioral and intrapsychic mechanisms. A total of 208 Swedish university students completed a cross-sectional self-report survey including measures of SC, Authentic Pride, and Prestige. Regression analyses showed that SC significantly predicted Prestige, and that including Authentic Pride in the model reduced the direct effect of SC on Prestige. These findings support the association between SC and adaptive social outcomes, with Prestige representing a specific dimension related to social influence and respect within a group. The results also suggest that the association between SC and Authentic Pride generalizes to a predominantly female student population. Although correlational, the study integrates multiple theoretical perspectives and provides a foundation for further investigation of SC and its effects on adaptive social outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72746,"journal":{"name":"Current research in behavioral sciences","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145694050","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}

In a between-subjects design, participants (<em>N</em> = 164 undergraduate students) were randomly assigned to read one of three vignettes about a college professor who exhibited one of three teaching styles (authoritarian, authoritative, or permissive) and were subsequently asked about their self-reported levels of perfectionism and anxiety.

Perfectionism also mediated the relationship between permissive teaching style and state anxiety.
