The observations were published in 1920 and 1922, and appear to be of particular interest to the modern nutritionist. Results The papers of Abderhalden (1920) and Bloch (1920) describe German children of all social strata who were born shortly before World War I, and raised in apparently "normal" families. After severe long-standing undernutrition, they participated in an international charity program. They experienced exceptional catch-up growth in height of 3-5 cm within 6-8 weeks. Goldstein (1922) observed 512 orphans and children from underprivileged families. Goldstein described very different growth patterns. These children were much shorter (mean height between -2.0 and -2.8 SDS, modern WHO reference). They mostly failed to catch-up in height, but tended to excessively increase in weight particularly during adolescence.}, language = {en} } @article{WrightHarperWachs2018, author = {Wright, Michelle F. and Harper, Bridgette D. and Wachs, Sebastian}, title = {Differences in Adolescents' Response Decision and Evaluation for Face-to-Face and Cyber Victimization}, series = {The Journal of Early Adolescence}, volume = {39}, journal = {The Journal of Early Adolescence}, number = {8}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {0272-4316}, doi = {10.1177/0272431618806052}, pages = {1110 -- 1128}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The current study was designed to assess early adolescents' response evaluation and decision for hypothetical peer victimization vignettes. Participants were 336 (59\% girls; X¯¯¯ age = 12.55) seventh and eighth graders from one school in the Midwestern United States. Adolescents read a hypothetical online or offline social situation and answered questions designed to access internal congruence, response evaluation, response efficacy, emotional outcome expectancy, and social outcome expectancy. Girls were more likely to believe that aggressive responses online and offline would lead to positive social and emotional outcome expectancies when compared with boys. Adolescents were more likely to believe that offline and online aggressive responses were legitimate responses to face-to-face victimization, feel that aggressive responses online or offline were easier to execute in response to face-to-face victimization, and that aggressive responses online or offline would lead to positive emotions and better social outcomes.}, language = {en} } @article{WrightHarperWachs2019, author = {Wright, Michelle F. and Harper, Bridgette D. and Wachs, Sebastian}, title = {The associations between cyberbullying and callous-unemotional traits among adolescents}, series = {Personality and individual differences : an international journal of research into the structure and development of personality, and the causation of individual differences}, volume = {140}, journal = {Personality and individual differences : an international journal of research into the structure and development of personality, and the causation of individual differences}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0191-8869}, doi = {10.1016/j.paid.2018.04.001}, pages = {41 -- 45}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential moderating role of online disinhibition in the associations between adolescents' callous-unemotional traits (callousness, uncaring, unemotional) and anonymous and non-anonymous cyberbullying. To this end, 1047 (49.2\% female) 7th and 8th graders completed questionnaires on their face-to-face bullying, cyberbullying, callous-unemotional traits, and online disinhibition. The findings revealed that increases in uncaring were more associated with self-reported non-anonymous and anonymous cyberbullying at higher levels of online disinhibition. The findings are discussed in the context of the characteristics associated with callous-unemotional traits, and how these characteristics increase adolescents' risk of cyberbullying perpetration. Recommendations are made for tailoring intervention programs to consider adolescents' personality traits.}, language = {en} } @article{WrightWachsHarper2018, author = {Wright, Michelle F. and Wachs, Sebastian and Harper, Bridgette D.}, title = {The moderation of empathy in the longitudinal association between witnessing cyberbullying, depression, and anxiety}, series = {Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace}, volume = {12}, journal = {Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace}, number = {4}, publisher = {Masrykova Univ.}, address = {Brno}, issn = {1802-7962}, doi = {10.5817/CP2018-4-6}, pages = {14}, year = {2018}, abstract = {While the role of and consequences of being a bystander to face-to-face bullying has received some attention in the literature, to date, little is known about the effects of being a bystander to cyberbullying.
