Parenting styles and externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers: mediation through self-control abilities and emotional management skills by Zhang WenLi, Xu Tiemei, Li Shuangqi, Yu Qun, Zhu Jingbo, Sun Sijie

“…Here, teachers and parents of 799 preschoolers from China were surveyed.ResultsThe findings of this investigation are 3-fold: (1) a significant association exists between the parenting styles adopted by parents and externalizing problem behaviors observed among preschoolers; (2) self-control abilities and emotional management skills independently mediate the associations between parenting styles and children's externalizing problem behaviors, highlighting their roles as mediators; and (3) sequential mediation of self-control abilities and emotional management skills elucidates a pathway through which parenting styles impact preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors.DiscussionThis study clarified the relationship between parenting styles, externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers, self-control abilities, and emotional management skills to provide a theoretical basis for solving the externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers.…”

Acceptability of artificial intelligence in breast screening: focus groups with the screening-eligible population in England by Jo Waller, Rumana Newlands, Lauren Gatting, Angie A Kehagia, Syeda Ahmed, Priscilla Meccheri

“…Data were analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis.Results Four themes described public perceptions of AI in breast screening found in this study: (1) Things going wrong and being missed summarises a predominant and pervasive concern about an AI tool being used in breast screening; (2) Speed of change and loss of control captures a positive association of AI with technological advances held by the women but also feelings of things being out of their control, and that they were being left behind and in the dark; (3) The importance of humans reports concern around the possibility that AI excludes humans and renders them redundant and (4) Desire for thorough research, staggered implementation and double-checking of scans included insistence that any AI be thoroughly trialled, tested and not solely relied on when initially implemented.Conclusions It will be essential that future decision-making and communication about AI implementation in breast screening (and, likely, in healthcare more widely) address concerns surrounding (1) the fallibility of AI, (2) lack of inclusion, control and transparency in relation to healthcare and technology decisions and (3) humans being left redundant and unneeded, while building on women’s hopes for the technology.…”
