Sleep deprivation degrades different kinds of memory in the same way, finds this study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition (Ratcliff, R., & Van Dongen, H., Vol. DOI: 10.1037/amp0000191 4: The Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Item and Associative Recognition Memory The standards also offer modules for authors reporting on N-of-1 designs, replications, clinical trials, longitudinal studies and observational studies, structural equation modeling and Bayesian analysis. The recommendations include dividing the hypotheses, analyses and conclusions sections into primary, secondary and exploratory groupings to enhance understanding and reproducibility. The new standards are voluntary guidelines for authors and reviewers, developed by a task force of APA’s Publications and Communications Board. This open-access article in American Psychologist lays out new journal article reporting standards for quantitative research in APA journals (Appelbaum, M., et al., Vol. DOI: 10.1037/ppm0000182ģ: Journal Article Reporting Standards for Quantitative Research in Psychology Participants who saw the beauty and fitness images rated their own attractiveness lower than a control group that saw no images. In a follow-up experiment, the researchers showed women beauty, fitness or travel images from Instagram. On average, more Instagram use was correlated with more depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, more general and physical appearance anxiety, and more body dissatisfaction.

Researchers surveyed 119 women, ages 18 to 35, about their Instagram use, mental health outcomes and self-perceptions. DOI: 10.1037/amp0000151 2: The Relationship Between Frequency of Instagram Use, Exposure to Idealized Images, and Psychological Well-Being in Womenįrequent use of the social media photo-sharing app Instagram could contribute to negative psychological outcomes in women, suggests this study in Psychology of Popular Media Culture (Sherlock, M., & Wagstaff, D.L., advance online publication). The article presents these standards and their rationale, details the ways they differ from quantitative research reporting standards and describes how they can be used by authors as well as by reviewers and editors. They cover a range of qualitative traditions, methods and reporting styles. Developed by a working group of the APA Publications and Communications Board, the new standards describe what should be included in a qualitative research report, as well as in qualitative meta-analyses and mixed-methods research reports. The voluntary guidelines are designed to help authors communicate their work clearly, accurately and transparently. This American Psychologist open-access article lays out-for the first time-journal article reporting standards for qualitative research in psychology (Levitt, H.M., et al., Vol. 1: Journal Article Reporting Standards for Qualitative Research in Psychology
