Although empirical studies have indicated that parents have an important role in preventing Internet gaming disorder in adolescents, longitudinal research on the parental predictors of Internet gaming disorder is lacking. We used a three-wave cross-lagged panel model to explore the reciprocal association between parental monitoring and Internet gaming disorder, and examined the different impact...

Predicting how species interactions evolve requires that we understand the mechanistic basis of coevolution, and thus the functional genotype-by-genotype interactions (G × G) that drive reciprocal natural selection. Theory on host-parasite coevolution provides testable hypotheses for empiricists, but depends upon models of functional G × G that remain loosely tethered to the molecular details o...

To determine if cytoplasmic effects have contributed to long-term selection response for increased growth rate in mice, reciprocal cross matings were made between an unselected control line (ICR) and a line (M16) derived from ICR by long-term selection for high postweaning weight gain from 3 to 6 wk of age. Embryos were recovered 2 to 4 d following mating and transferred to pseudopregnant F1 (D...

This report is to serve as an introduction to hy bridization studies which have been undertaken concerning adrenal cortical tumors and related pathological conditions. It is planned that reports similar to that for the reciprocal DBA and CE hy brids (27) will also be made. Hybridization studies have been used in many types of experiments with animals and with plants. Such experiments were of th...

OBJECTIVE To address the question of how the CNS generates muscle activation patterns for complex gestures, we have chosen to study a figure-eight movement. We hypothesized that the well defined rhythmic aspect of this figure will provide further insights into the temporal features of multi-muscular commands. METHODS Subjects performed, as fast as possible, figure-eights initiated in the cent...

The four studies in this special issue represent important advances in research on the intergenerational transmission of aggressive behavior. In this commentary, we review the key features and findings of these studies, as well as our own cross-generational study of aggression, the Columbia County Longitudinal Study. Next, we consider important theoretical issues (e.g., defining and operational...

Previous research has consistently demonstrated the importance of parents' expectations and adolescents' expectations on adolescents' academic achievement. Less is known, however, about the reciprocal relationships among these constructs. To address this issue, we analyzed two waves of data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) using longitudinal cross-lagged path mod...

Previous research has clearly shown that work stressors are positively related to counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Most of these studies, however, used cross-sectional designs, which limits insight into the direction of effects. Nevertheless, it has been assumed that work stressors have a causal effect on CWB, but the role of CWB as an antecedent of work stressors has been neglected. The ...

Two hundred twenty-five lactation and litter performance records from 82 does representing four genetic groups and two diets were analyzed to quantify breed, heterosis, reciprocal F1 cross and diet effects for milk production and associative traits. Doe genetic groups were New Zealand White (NN) and Californian (CC) straightbred and Californian x New Zealand White (CN) and New Zealand White x C...

This paper models competing mechanism games as extensive games where the extensive form is incompletely understood by a modeler, typically because the modeler doesn’t see all the messages that are being exchanged and doesn’t understand all the contracts that can be enforced. For this reason, the revelation principle can’t be used to characterize supportable outcomes. The paper provides a relati...
