Parents’ social comparisons and adolescent self-esteem: the mediating effect of upward social comparison and the moderating influence of optimism by Hongyang Liu, Jana Kvintova, Lucie Vachova

“…The results of the study found that upward social comparison plays a partial mediating role in the negative impact of parents’ social comparison on self-esteem, and optimism plays a moderating role in the impact of upward social comparison on self-esteem. This study illustrates the harmful effects of parents’ social comparison on adolescent mental health, but this harm can be mitigated through the teaching of optimism. …”

Effective dimensionality of space-time in f(R)-general relativity with quantum boundary terms included by Mauricio Bellini

“…But perhaps the most intriguing of this phenomena is that these space-time alterations change the effective number of space-time dimensions of the system with perturbations included N(z), in a such manner that N(z) can take an irrational value $$N(z=2)=8/(1+\sqrt{5})\simeq 2.4721$$ N ( z = 2 ) = 8 / ( 1 + 5 ) ≃ 2.4721 , when the nonlinear quantum perturbations of space-time are related to the relativistic velocities $$\bar{U}^{\mu }$$ U ¯ μ . To illustrate the theory, we calculate exactly the cosmological parameter in an early inflationary universe.…”
