This is the first comprehensive cross-domain personality profile mapping akin to neurosynth.org or epigraphdb.org. We encourage personality scientists to try out our pipeline on their own phenotypes of interest that have published NEO PI facet-level profiles!

We also introduced novel statistical methods to estimate correlation between profiles obtained from different samples, and replicated Vainik et al (2020) correlations between obesity, uncontrolled eating and addictive phenotypes, controlling for varying sample sizes and facet intercorrelations.

The most prominent phenotypes studied over 30 years of personality psychology are maladaptive profiles, with little representation for a range of healthy or normative profiles. Just like media is prone to negative news, personality psychologists are attracted to problematic phenotypes!

Each cluster was then compared to an expert-rated ‘healthy’ personality profile obtained from Bleidorn et al (2020), suggesting that three biggest clusters of phenotypes strongly deviate from this desired personality type.

Using hierarchical cluster analysis, we found the most prominent NEO PI profiles to cluster into 5 dominant groups, naming them based on their unique Big Five dynamics and phenotypes they consisted of.

We systematically collected 311 NEO PI facet-level published profiles across domains, standardised them to Pearson’s r, meta-aggregated duplicates and ran a cluster analysis on resulting 162 distinct phenotypes. The combined sample size of this was about 100 000!

Ever wondered whether we could map personality profiles as we do with genetic or brain data? We applied a similar method to explore similarities and differences of NEO PI profiles in our fresh-out paper. Here’s what we found 🧵 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This issue is packed with interesting stuff (and not saying that because I have a v short commentary in it!). There's papers on how food environments are changing, food policy and UPFs, the role of corporations etc. Unfortunately, few papers are open access ☹️...

Image from the preprint "Overnutrition is a risk factor for iron deficiency in children and young people: a systematic review and meta-analysis of micronutrient deficiencies and the double burden of malnutrition". It shows the forest plot of reported associations between overnutrition and odds of iron deficiency. REML: Random effects restricted maximum likelihood; CI: confidence interval. The odds are higher for obese and overweight

While many know that restrictive diets can cause nutrient deficiencies, not everyone is aware that overeating can too.

This study showed that overweight & obese children and young adults have a higher risk of iron deficiency (but not zinc or vitamin A deficiency).

We addressed the classic 🐔or the🥚question:

Do children who read more become better readers, or do better readers simply choose to read more? Our findings revealed that reading proficiency primarily drove the amount of reading in children rather than the other way around.

Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities Microplastics get in the blood and are eaten by immune cells, leading to cell obstruction and cerebral thrombosis.

🧠 Microplastics in your bloodstream

New research reveals that microplastics can block brain capillaries, reduce blood flow, and cause neurological changes in mice. A concerning link between pollution and health.

Why do most nutrition labels still seem like riddles in tiny font? Making healthier and/or more informed choices while grocery shopping shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle. Clearer labels could be a small but important step towards changing that.
