Cross-Sectional Study of Virginity beliefs through Influences from Religion and Age groups among Malaysian adults
No full textThis study examines religious affiliation and age group influences on virginity beliefs among Malaysian adults, corresponding to Gift, Stigma and Process metaphors. Malaysians are majorly religious. Religiously, premarital sex is often stigmatized, because virginity considered as marriage gift except in Buddhism tends towards secularism while non-religious hold individual perspectives; young adults face virginity-related tensions, while most older Malaysians hold traditional views on virginity. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 Malaysian adults, using adapted Virginity Belief Scale (VBS), measuring three frames via mean value (higher mean value, stronger frame endorsement). Respondents were divided into four religious affiliations (Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism) and No religious affiliation and six age groups (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65 or above) and. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests conducted, with pairwise comparisons conducted on significant frames. For religious affiliation, significant differences showed across all frames, for gift (H = 45.076, p < 0.001, ƞ2 ≈ 0.098) and stigma (H = 116.523, p < 0.001, ƞ2 ≈ 0.27), for both endorsement Hinduism showing highest while Buddhism lowest for both, and Christianity/Islam/non-religious affiliation intermediate. Significantly weak differences for process frame (H = 9.508, p = 0.050, ƞ2 ≈ 0.013). Age groups showed significant differences for the gift frame (H = 45.375, p < 0.001, ƞ2 ≈ 0.097), lowest in 25-34, highest in 65 or above and significant differences for the stigma frame (H = 132.216, p < 0.001, ƞ2 ≈ 0.31), highest in 35-44 and lowest in 25-34 while age groups showed no significant differences for the process frame (H = 9.135, p = 0.104, ƞ 2≈ 0.0099). To conclude, this study among Malaysians found that gift and stigma frames varied with religious affiliation and age groups, weakly varied process frames for religious affiliation. While stable process frames among age groups suggested a more universal developmental perspective on virginity

Split Sibling Correlations Aren’t What You Think: The Hidden Mean Differences
No full textResearch on social mobility has increasingly emphasized heterogeneity in mobility experiences. One popular approach examines heterogeneity in sibling correlations by splitting samples according to parental or ancestral characteristics. A prominent example is estimating sibling correlations in children’s earnings stratified by parental earnings. What remains underappreciated, however, is that splitting the sample by social background abstracts from mean differences in children’s earnings by social background—differences that constitute an important channel of intergenerational reproduction. Drawing on a decomposition by Karlson and In (2024) and a procedure used in Hällsten and Kolk (2023), I show how these mean differences can be incorporated. Replicating a newly published Swedish study (Forsberg et al., 2025) that reports attenuating sibling correlations in children’s earnings at higher levels of parental earnings, I show that accounting for mean differences substantially alters the conclusions, yielding sibling correlations that instead increase with parental earnings
The impact of conduct issues on future events: a rapid review
No full textExperiences and developmental trajectories in early life (the first 1000 days of life) can shape outcomes across the life course, with downstream effects on education, employment and earnings, involvement with the criminal justice system, health and wellbeing, and patterns of service use. These impacts matter not only for individuals and families, but also because they translate into long-term public costs across multiple sectors (e.g., health and social care, education, welfare, and justice).
This rapid review focuses on conduct issues (conduct problems and hyperactivity) as an influential risk factor linked to early life (the first 1000 days of life) development and synthesizes evidence on their associations with later “future events” such as educational outcomes, labor market outcomes (employment, earnings), crime/justice outcomes, and service use. The evidence base is spread across disciplines and study designs, and findings are often reported in ways that are difficult to compare across outcome domains. A focused synthesis is therefore needed to consolidate what is known about the longer-term impacts of conduct issues in a way that is usable for subsequent cost and modelling work that spans multiple outcome domains and policy sectors
From course-based initiatives to institutional adoption: levels of integration of gamification in undergraduate nursing education – a scoping review
No full textGamification has increasingly been adopted in health professions education as a strategy to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. In undergraduate nursing education, gamification has been implemented at varying levels, ranging from isolated, course-based initiatives to broader institutional strategies embedded across curricula. However, the extent to which gamification is integrated, the forms it takes, and the contexts in which it is applied remain heterogeneous and insufficiently mapped.
The purpose of this scoping review is to systematically explore and map the existing literature on the integration of gamification in undergraduate nursing education. Specifically, the review aims to identify and categorize the different levels of gamification integration, from individual teaching activities to program- or institution-wide implementations. It will also examine the educational contexts, types of gamification strategies used, targeted learning outcomes, and reported benefits or challenges associated with these approaches.
This scoping review will follow established methodological guidance for scoping reviews and will be reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR framework. By synthesizing and organizing the available evidence, this review is expected to provide a comprehensive overview of how gamification is currently integrated into undergraduate nursing education. The findings will help identify research gaps, inform educators and institutions about current practices, and support the development of more coherent and sustainable gamification strategies in nursing education

No full textThe Gated Staged Collapse Framework (GSCF): A Conceptual Dynamical Systems Model of Consciousness and Psychopathology (Pre-Empirical)
No full textThis registration describes the Gated Staged Collapse Framework (GSCF), a theoretical, multi-stage model of cognitive processing and psychopathology. The framework integrates attractor dynamics, loop theory, and phenomenological observations to generate falsifiable predictions about collapse, snapback, and recovery dynamics in humans.
Key elements:
Nine-stage architecture of cognition, from salience gating to meta-cognition
Proposed behavioral paradigms (PRRT, HAT) designed for future empirical testing
Conceptual explanations for rigidity, rumination, and perceptual re-domination
Potential applications to therapy, cognitive modeling, and AI reasoning systems
No empirical data has been collected at this stage; this registration establishes the framework, ensures intellectual priority, and allows future researchers to reference or collaborate on empirical testing.
Expected outcomes: The framework provides a conceptual bridge between dynamical systems theory and clinical psychology, with testable predictions regarding recovery patterns and attentional collapse
