Narcissism and the strategic pursuit of short-term mating : universal links across 11 world regions of the International Sexuality Description Project-2.
Previous studies have documented links between sub-clinical narcissism and the active pursuit of short-term mating strategies (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality, marital infidelity, mate poaching). Nearly all of these investigations have relied solely on samples from Western cultures. In the current study, responses from a cross-cultural survey of 30,470 people across 53 nations spanning 11 world regions (North America, Central/South America, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and East Asia) were used to evaluate whether narcissism (as measured by the Narcissistic Personality Inventory; NPI) was universally associated with short-term mating. Results revealed narcissism scores (including two broad factors and seven traditional facets as measured by the NPI) were functionally equivalent across cultures, reliably associating with key sexual outcomes (e.g., more active pursuit of short-term mating, intimate partner violence, and sexual aggression) and sex-related personality traits (e.g., higher extraversion and openness to experience). Whereas some features of personality (e.g., subjective well-being) were universally associated with socially adaptive facets of Narcissism (e.g., self-sufficiency), most indicators of short-term mating (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality and marital infidelity) were universally associated with the socially maladaptive facets of narcissism (e.g., exploitativeness). Discussion addresses limitations of these cross-culturally universal findings and presents suggestions for future research into revealing the precise psychological features of narcissism that facilitate the strategic pursuit of short-term mating

En este estudio se han usado respuestas de la encuesta transcultural de 30.470 personas de 53 naciones de 11 regiones mundiales (AmĂ©rica del Norte, AmĂ©rica del Sur/AmĂ©rica Central, Europa del Norte, Europa del Oeste, Europa del Este, Europa del Sur, Oriente PrĂłximo, Ăfrica, Asia del Sur/Sudoeste de Asia, Asia del Este y OceanĂa) para evaluar si el narcisismo (medido por el Inventario de Personalidad Narcisista; NPI) se asocia panuniversalmente con los indicadores del emparejamiento a corto plazo, tanto en la direcciĂłn, como en la intensidad. Los resultados sugieren que el narcisismo (incluidos muchos aspectos suyos medidos por el NPI) tiene las mismas asociaciones bĂĄsicas con los rasgos de personalidad relacionados con el sexo (p. ej. extraversiĂłn alta) y con los resultados sexuales claves (p. ej. bĂșsqueda mĂĄs activa de las estrategias del emparejamiento a corto plazo) a travĂ©s de las 11 mayores regiones mundiales del PDSI 2. La discusiĂłn se enfoca en las implicaciones y limitaciones del estudio actual

Tracking peripheral vascular function for sixâmonths in young adults following SARSâCoVâ2 infection
Abstract SARSâCoVâ2 infection is known to instigate a range of physiologic perturbations, including vascular dysfunction. However, little work has concluded how long these effects may last, especially among young adults with mild symptoms. To determine potential recovery from acute vascular dysfunction in young adults (8 M/8F, 21â±â1 yr, 23.5 ±â3.1 kgâ
mâ2), we longitudinally tracked brachial artery flowâmediated dilation (FMD) and reactive hyperemia (RH) in the arm and hyperemic response to passive limb movement (PLM) in the leg, with Doppler ultrasound, as well as circulating biomarkers of inflammation (interleukinâ6, Câreactive protein), oxidative stress (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, protein carbonyl), antioxidant capacity (superoxide dismutase), and nitric oxide bioavailability (nitrite) monthly for a 6âmonth period postâSARSâCoVâ2 infection. FMD, as a marker of macrovascular function, improved from month 1 (3.06â±â1.39%) to month 6 (6.60â±â2.07%; p â0.05). Circulating markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, and nitric oxide bioavailability did not change during the 6âmonths (p >â0.05). Together, these results suggest some improvements in macrovascular, but not microvascular function, over 6âmonths following SARSâCoVâ2 infection. The data also suggest persistent ramifications for cardiovascular health among those recovering from mild illness and among young, otherwise healthy adults with SARSâCoVâ2
Monthly transthoracic echocardiography in young adults for 6Â months following SARSâCoVâ2 infection
Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâCoVâ2) can elicit acute and longâterm effects on the myocardium among survivors, yet effects among otherwise healthy young adults remains unclear. Young adults with mild symptoms of SARSâCoVâ2 (8M/8F, age: 21â±â1âyears, BMI: 23.5â±â3.1 kg·mâ2) underwent monthly transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and testing of circulating cardiac troponinâI for months 1â6 (M1âM6) following a positive polymerase chain reaction test to better understand the acute effects and postâacute sequelae of SARSâCoVâ2 on cardiac structure and function. Left heart structure and ejection fraction were unaltered from M1âM6 (pâ>â0.05). While most parameters of septal and lateral wall velocities, mitral and tricuspid valve, and pulmonary vein (PV) were unaltered from M1âM6 (pâ>â0.05), lateral wall sâČ wave velocity increased (M1: 0.113â±â0.019âm·sâ1, M6: 0.135â±â0.022âm·sâ1, p = 0.013); PV S wave velocity increased (M1: 0.596â±â0.099âm·sâ1, M6: 0.824â±â0.118âm·sâ1, pâ<â0.001); the difference between PV A wave and mitral valve (MV) A wave durations decreased (M1: 39.139â±â43.715âms, M6: 18.037â±â7.227âms, p = 0.002); the ratio of PV A duration to MV A duration increased (M1: 0.844â±â0.205, M6: 1.013â±â0.132, p = 0.013); and cardiac troponinâI levels decreased (M1: 0.38â±â0.20âng·mlâ1, M3: 0.28â±â0.34âng·mlâ1, M6: 0.29â±â0.16âng·mlâ1; p = 0.002) over time. While young adults with mild symptoms of SARSâCoVâ2 lacked changes to cardiac structure, the subclinical improvements to cardiac function and reduced inflammatory marker of cardiac troponinâI over 6 months following SARSâCoVâ2 infection provide physiologic guidance to postâacute sequelae and recovery from SARSâCoVâ2 and its variants using conventional TTE
