Predicting self-care behaviors based on anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty and personality traits in nurses working in Covid-19 ward

Introduction: Corona disease has affected people around the world since late 2019. Hospital personnel are at the forefront of the fight against the virus. Nurses, as the largest active workforce in health care organizations, have the most contact with Corona's patients. The aim of this study was to predict self-care behaviors based on anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty and personal...

Ecological genomics in full colour.

Colour patterns in animals have long offered an opportunity to observe adaptive traits in natural populations. Colour plays myriad roles in interactions within and among species, from reproductive signalling to predator avoidance, leading to multiple targets of natural and sexual selection and opportunities for diversification. Understanding the genetic and developmental underpinnings of variat...

Schizotypal Personality Traits: An Extension of Previous Psychometric Investigations

In an exploratory scale factor analysis of the Combined Schizotypal Traits Questionnaire, Claridge et al. (1996) reported four schizotypal trait dimensions, which they labelled Aberrant Perceptions and Beliefs, Cognitive Disorganisation with Anxiety, Introvertive Anhedonia, and Asocial Behaviour. The present paper reports the findings of a further examination of both scale and item factor analy...

Ecology predicts large-scale patterns of phylogenetic diversification in birds.

One of the most striking patterns in evolutionary biology is that clades may differ greatly in the number of species they contain. Numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain this phenomenon, and several have been tested using phylogenetic methods. Remarkably, however, all such tests performed to date have been characterized by modest explanatory power, which has generated an interest ...
