Sexual Dimorphism in Neutral Lipid Metabolism in the Indian-Meal Moth, Plodia Interpunctella (Hubner)
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Biology, Millersville State College, Millersville, PennsylvaniaOf last larval instar Indian-meal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner), males contain slightly more total neutral lipid per gram live weight than do females. The qualitative composition of the various neutral fractions is similar in both sexes. During the pupal period, the female catabolizes considerably more triglyceride than the male, resulting in a much lower triglyceride content in the newly emerged adult female. There is an almost equal rate of lipid utilization in both sexes during the first three days of adult life
Down to a r/science: Integrating Computational Approaches to the Study of Credibility on Reddit
No full textDigital trace data enable researchers to study communication processes at a scale previously impossible. We combine social network analysis and automated content analysis to examine source and message factors’ impact on credibility ratings. We found that the expertise of the author, the network position that the author occupies, and characteristics of the content the author creates have a significant impact on how that content will be assessed by others. By observationally examining a large-scale online community, we provide a real-world test of how source and message characteristics are evaluated by message consumers. Our results show that it is important to think of online communication as occurring interactively between networks of individuals, and that the network positions people inhabit may inform their behavior

The Impact of Web-Based Ratings on Patient Choice of a Primary Care Physician Versus a Specialist: Randomized Controlled Experiment (Preprint)
No full text
BACKGROUND
Physician review websites have empowered prospective patients to acquire information about physicians. However, little is known about how Web-based ratings on different aspects of a physician may affect patients’ selection of physicians differently.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this study were to examine (1) how patients weigh ratings on a physician’s technical skills and interpersonal skills in their selection of physicians and (2) whether and how people’s choice of a primary care physician versus a specialist is affected differently by Web-based ratings.
METHODS
A 2×2×2×2 between-subjects experiment was conducted. Over 600 participants were recruited through a crowdsourcing website and randomly assigned to view a mockup physician review Web page that contained information on a physician’s basic information and patients’ ratings. After reviewing the Web page, participants were asked to complete a survey on their perceptions of the physician and willingness to seek health care from the physician.
RESULTS
The results showed that participants were more willing to choose a physician with higher ratings on technical skills than on interpersonal skills compared with a physician with higher ratings on interpersonal skills than on technical skills, t369.96=22.36, P<.001, Cohen d=1.22. In the selection of different types of physicians, patients were more likely to choose a specialist with higher ratings on technical skills than on interpersonal skills, compared with a primary care physician with the same ratings, F1,521=5.34, P=.021.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings suggest that people place more weight on technical skills than interpersonal skills in their selection of a physician based on their ratings on the Web. Specifically, people are more likely to make a compromise on interpersonal skills in their choice of a specialist compared with a primary care physician. This study emphasizes the importance of examining Web-based physician ratings in a more nuanced way in relation to the selection of different types of physicians.

Neutralizing the Effect of Political Worldviews by Communicating Scientific Agreement: A Thought-Listing Study
No full text Messages emphasizing scientific agreement are increasingly used to communicate politically polarizing issues. Proponents argue that these messages neutralize the effect of people’s political worldviews due to the neutral scientific character of the message. Yet this argument has not undergone extensive testing. Addressing this, we measured participants’ thoughts on scientists featured in messages emphasizing scientific agreement on politically dissonant issues. Our results show that readers often produce less favorable thoughts and moral judgments when scientists agree on a politically dissonant issue. As a result, messages emphasizing scientific agreement on politicized issues might not always neutralize the effect of people’s political worldviews. </jats:p
