Using complete-count register data spanning three generations, we document spatial patterns in inter- and multi-generational mobility in Sweden. Across municipalities, grandfather-child correlations in education or earnings tend to be larger than the square of the parent-child correlations, suggesting that the latter understate status transmission…

This study examined the impact of Catch-Up Sleep Ratio (CSR) on health outcomes in Korean adults. Adjusted for age and gender, 2,484 participants were categorized into three groups: Weekday (CSR <1.0), Average (1.0 = CSR < 1.5), and Weekend (1.5 = CSR). Weekday participants were less likely to meet WHO's moderate physical activity guidelines…

The purpose of the current study was to identify nuanced depressive subgroups among adolescents (by race, ethnicity, and sex) who have experienced school discipline and school policing. Adolescents (N = 4,898) from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing (FFCWS) were used to conduct a latent class analysis to examine the subgroup differences…

The present investigation administered 55 DT tasks to three GAI services (Bard, GPT 3.5, and GPT 4.0). Instead of examining individual responses, an Idea Density algorithm was used to assess the output.…
