Terror management theory suggests that following culturally derived scripts for valued behaviour protects people from death concerns, and conversely, not meeting standards for cultural value can weaken this protection, heightening mortality concerns.

Use of routine data to support effective public health initiatives such as smoking cessation has been demonstrated. However, the data collected about infant ...

Despite growing interest in the temporal dynamics of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), we know little about the intra-day fluctuations of key symptom constructs.

Ten symptom measures were taken per day over 6 days (N= 2231 observations). Daily dynam...
