The high costs of low agreeableness: Low agreeableness exacerbates interpersonal consequences of rejection sensitivity in U.S. and Chinese adolescents

Jennifer M. Wang, Amy C. Hartl, Brett Laursen, Kenneth H. Rubin

Journal of Research in Personality > 2017 > 67 > C > 36-43

Although personality is a powerful predictor of adjustment, its potential moderating effects have been less studied in youth. This investigation examined why some youth are more susceptible to the negative consequences of rejection sensitivity than others. Two separate studies tested the hypothesis that agreeableness moderates the links between rejection sensitivity and interpersonal outcomes. Study...

Preference-for-solitude and depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents

Jennifer M. Wang

Personality and Individual Differences > 2016 > 100 > C > 151-156

Social withdrawal has been associated with internalizing difficulties across development. Although much is known about shyness, little is known about preference-for-solitude; even less is known about how preference-for-solitude might relate to youth depression in non-Western countries. Using structural equation modeling, this study examined the links between preference-for-solitude and depressive...

Loneliness and Attitudes Toward Being Alone in Belgian and Chinese Adolescents: Examining Measurement Invariance

Marlies Maes, Jennifer M. Wang, Wim Noortgate, Luc Goossens

Journal of Child and Family Studies > 2016 > 25 > 5 > 1408-1415

Loneliness is an adverse phenomenon that tends to peak during adolescence. As loneliness is a subjective state, it is different from the objective state of being alone. People’s attitudes toward being alone can be more or less negative or positive. Cultures differ in the form and meaning of social behavior, interpersonal relationships, and time spent alone. However, for cross-cultural comparisons...

Falgun H. Chokshi, Danny R. Hughes, Jennifer M. Wang, Mark E. Mullins, more

Journal of the American College of Radiology > 2015 > 12 > 7 > 664-669

The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in diagnostic radiology resident and fellow workloads in recent years.Berenson-Eggers Type of Service categorization was applied to Medicare Part B Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary Master Files to identify total and resident-specific claims for radiologist imaging services between 1998 and 2010. Data were extracted and subgroup analytics performed...

Wesley Angel, C. Matthew Hawkins, Jennifer M. Wang, Danny R. Hughes, more

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology > 2015 > 26 > 5 > 680-685

To evaluate national trends in percutaneous hepatic and renal biopsy procedures with regard to utilization, specialty group roles, and sites of service.Service-specific claims data for percutaneous hepatic and renal biopsy procedures were identified using Medicare Physician Supplier Procedure Summary Master Files for the period 1994–2012. Longitudinal national utilization rates were calculated using...

Expanding Roles of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants As Providers of Nonvascular Invasive Radiology Procedures

Richard Duszak, D. Gail Walls, Jennifer M. Wang, Jennifer Hemingway, more

Journal of the American College of Radiology > 2015 > 12 > 3 > 284-289

To evaluate national trends in nonvascular invasive radiology procedures performed by advanced practice providers (APPs), focusing specifically on nurse practitioners and physician assistants.Nonvascular invasive radiology procedures commonly performed by APPs at our 2 largest hospitals were used to identify procedure groups for national trends analysis. We mapped categories of services annually to then-current...

Psychometric Properties of the Network Relationship Inventory-Social Provision Version in Chinese Youth

Jennifer M. Wang

Child Psychiatry & Human Development > 2014 > 45 > 6 > 695-702

Given the lack of psychometric research on friendship measures in non-Western countries, this study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the network relationship inventory-social provision version (NRI-SPV-C) in a sample of 200 young adolescents living in China (91 boys; M age = 13.21 years). Results from confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that a hierarchical structure...

Interpersonal and Personal Antecedents and Consequences of Peer Victimization Across Middle Childhood in Hong Kong

Jennifer M. Wang, Mylien Duong, David Schwartz, Lei Chang, more

Journal of Youth and Adolescence > 2014 > 43 > 11 > 1934-1945

Although much is known about peer victimization, the majority of the longitudinal research in this area has been restricted to Western settings. The main objective of this study was to examine the interpersonal (rejection) and personal (withdrawal, aggression) antecedents and consequences of victimization for Chinese children living in Hong Kong. A sample of 1,058 children (501 boys; M age = 9.5 years)...

Removal and Reconstitution of the Carotenoid Antenna of Xanthorhodopsin

Eleonora S. Imasheva, Sergei P. Balashov, Jennifer M. Wang, Janos K. Lanyi

The Journal of Membrane Biology > 2011 > 239 > 1-2 > 95-104

Salinixanthin, a C₄₀-carotenoid acyl glycoside, serves as a light-harvesting antenna in the retinal-based proton pump xanthorhodopsin of Salinibacter ruber. In the crystallographic structure of this protein, the conjugated chain of salinixanthin is located at the protein–lipid boundary and interacts with residues of helices E and F. Its ring, with a 4-keto group, is rotated relative to the plane of...

Variation in the onset of incubation and its influence on avian hatching success and asynchrony

Jennifer M. Wang, Steven R. Beissinger

Animal Behaviour > 2009 > 78 > 3 > 601-613

Variation among species in the onset of incubation has been attributed to differences in life history traits, and variation within species has been related to individual and environmental factors. We quantified within- and among-species variation in the onset of incubation in five cavity-nesting passerines, using a continuous record of diurnal and nocturnal incubation from clutch initiation through...

Excitation Energy-Transfer and the Relative Orientation of Retinal and Carotenoid in Xanthorhodopsin

Sergei P. Balashov, Eleonora S. Imasheva, Jennifer M. Wang, Janos K. Lanyi

Biophysical Journal > 2008 > 95 > 5 > 2402-2414

The cell membrane of Salinibacter ruber contains xanthorhodopsin, a light-driven transmembrane proton pump with two chromophores: a retinal and the carotenoid, salinixanthin. Action spectra for transport had indicated that light absorbed by either is utilized for function. If the carotenoid is an antenna in this protein, its excited state energy has to be transferred to the retinal and should be detected...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Study of Structural Changes in the O Photointermediate of Bacteriorhodopsin

Deliang Chen, Jennifer M. Wang, Janos K. Lanyi

Journal of Molecular Biology > 2007 > 366 > 3 > 790-805

The structural changes of bacteriorhodopsin during its photochemical cycle, as revealed by crystal structures of trapped intermediates, have provided insights to the proton translocation mechanism. Because accumulation of the last photointermediate, O, appears to be hindered by lattice forces in the crystals, the only information about the structure of this state is from suggested analogies with the...

Functions of carotenoids in xanthorhodopsin and archaerhodopsin, from action spectra of photoinhibition of cell respiration

Vladimir A. Boichenko, Jennifer M. Wang, Josefa Antón, Janos K. Lanyi, more

BBA - Bioenergetics > 2006 > 1757 > 12 > 1649-1656

The recent discovery of a carotenoid light-harvesting antenna in xanthorhodopsin, a retinal-based proton pump in Salinibacter ruber, made use of photoinhibition of respiration in whole cells to obtain action spectra [Balashov et al. Science 309, (2005) 2061–2064]. Here we provide further details of this phenomenon, and compare action spectra in three different systems where carotenoids have different...
