Overprotective/authoritarian maternal parenting is associated with an enhanced error-related negativity (ERN) in emerging adult females

Gregopimpla kuwanae is a gregarious ectoparasitoid wasp attacking mature larvae and prepupae of the rice skipper Parnara guttata (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), a major herbivorous pest in rice paddies. Here, the biology of G. kuwanae was investigated using Galleria mellonella as a laboratory host. Adult females accepted G. mellonella cocoons for oviposition, and larvae of G. kuwanae developed successfully to adulthood on this host. Females laid, on average, 3.5 eggs per host. Time required for oviposition was relatively long (mean = 14.2 min). Survival of parasitoid offspring decreased with the increasing number of eggs on each host. Females used 18.9% of hosts for host feeding, killing the hosts with no exception. Oviposition did not occur on hosts used for feeding purpose, indicating that the parasitoid was a nonconcurrent, destructive host feeder. Newly emerging adult females carried no eggs in the ovary; females started oogenesis only after they had destructively fed on hosts. This parasitoid thus was extremely synovigenic (ovigeny index = 0). Gregopimpla kuwanae laid typically yolk-rich, anhydropic eggs. Females carried on average 15 mature eggs with 20 immature eggs, and larger females had a greater number of eggs in the ovary. Life history characteristics of G. kuwanae were discussed.

The Relationship

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara persepsi keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan dan kesiapan menikah emerging adult perempuan di Surabaya. Penelitian dilakukan secara online pada 128 responden perempuan dengan rentang usia 18-25 tahun. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah kuesioner persepsi keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan yang disusun berdasarkan teori Pleck (2010) dan kuEsioner kesiapan menikah yang berdasarkan teori Blood (1978), beserta satu aitem pendukung penelitian dengan total keseluruhan 88 aitem. Kedua alat ukur tersebut disusun secara mandiri melalui uji coba terpakai. Reliabilitas kesiapan menikah menunjukkan nilai 0,776 dan persepsi keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan menunjukkan nilai 0,995, artinya, kedua alat ukur yang digunakan memiliki reliabilitas yang tinggi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan Pearson Product Moment Correlation, dengan menggunakan IBM SPSS Statistic 22. Hasil penelitian yang sudah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara persepsi keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan dengan kesiapan menikah yang signifikan pada emerging adult perempuan di Surabaya. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi untuk dunia psikologi pendidikan dan perkembangan terkait dengan topik kesiapan menikah. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Perceived Father Involvement and Readiness for Marriage in Emerging Adult Female in Surabaya. There were 128 female respondents between 18-25 years old, and the data were collected online. The instruments used were Perceived Father Involvement Questionnaire based on Pleck’s theory (2010), Readiness for Marriage based on Blood’s theory (1978), and one supporting item totaling 88 items. The measuring instruments were arranged independently through a preliminary study. The Readiness of Marriage’s reliability value was 0.0776, and the Perceived Father Involvement value was 0.995, confirming that the two measuring instruments have high reliability. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation on IBM Statistics 22. The significant value was 0.007. Thus, there was a significant correlation between readiness for marriage and perceived father involvement in emerging adult females in Surabaya. The research result can be used as a reference for educational and developmental psychology, particularly related to readiness for marriage.

Abstract. We recorded event-related potentials in an illusory conjunction task, in which subjects were cued on each trial to search for a particular colored letter in a subsequently presented test array, consisting of three different letters in three different colors. In a proportion of trials the target letter was present and in other trials none of the relevant features were present. In still other trials one of the features (color or letter identity) were present or both features were present but not combined in the same display element. When relevant features were present this resulted in an early posterior selection negativity (SN) and a frontal selection positivity (FSP). When a target was presented, this resulted in a FSP that was enhanced after 250 ms as compared to when both relevant features were present but not combined in the same display element. This suggests that this effect reflects an extra process of attending to both features bound to the same object. There were no differences between the ERPs in feature error and conjunction error trials, contrary to the idea that these two types of errors are due to different (perceptual and attentional) mechanisms. The P300 in conjunction error trials was much reduced relative to the P300 in correct target detection trials. A similar, error-related negativity-like component was visible in the response-locked averages in correct target detection trials, in feature error trials, and in conjunction error trials. Dipole modeling of this component resulted in a source in a deep medial-frontal location. These results suggested that this type of task induces a high level of response conflict, in which decision-related processes may play a major role.

The Relationship

Abstract. Previous research suggests that parenting style influences the development of the needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. The present study investigated the relationship between parenting style and another important motive disposition – the need for autonomy – in a sample of Singapore university students ( N = 97, 69% female), using a cross-sectional and retrospective design. It was predicted that an authoritative perceived parenting style would relate positively to the implicit need for autonomy ( nAut), the explicit need for autonomy ( sanAut), and the congruence between these two motive dispositions. Authoritative maternal parenting was found to positively associate with sanAut, while maternal parenting was not found to associate with nAut, or with nAut/ sanAut congruence. Paternal parenting was not associated with any of the dependent variables.
