“…These results showed that, in the utilization of health services, especially high-level health services, high-SES migrant workers had more advantages. Compared with migrant workers with low SES, migrant workers with high SES had a better living environment and more resources [ 39 , 40 ]. Therefore, considering that medical supplies are classified according to quality level, migrant workers with high SES might be more capable of obtaining better medical services due to their resource advantages.…”

“…Additionally, although this study identified both state and trait predictors of costly, reactive aggression, it did not examine the effects of longer-term situational or environmental factors. This is important as physical and social environmental influences have been identified as key determinants of self-control and decision-making processes (Sheehy-Skeffington, 2020). This emerging body of research demonstrates that it is not only the short-term situational context that influences self-control, impulsivity, and aggression, but chronic exposure to environmental stressors, structural prejudice against groups, financial and environmental instability, and the effects of low socio-economic status can have major impacts (Sheehy-Skeffington, 2020;Lawson et al 2018;Figueredo et al 2020).…”

“…Importantly, there are key environmental influences which lead to lower selfcontrol and similar psychological processes. Research demonstrates that chronic stress, unemployment, resource scarcity, environmental instability, and other stressors can have a significant influence (Lovallo, 2013;Sheehy-Skeffington, 2020). Thus, the relationship between self-control and aggression is likely affected by complex interactions between more stable dispositional differences in self-control and those in the short-and long-term which are heavily shaped by the environment and changing circumstances.…”

Lack of self-control has been theorized to predict an individual’s likelihood to engage in antisocial behaviors such as impulsive aggression upon provocation, but existing measures have not allowed for the specific examination of costly, reactive aggression. We introduce a novel paradigm, the Retaliate or Carry-on: Reactive AGgression Experiment (RC-RAGE) to fill this methodological gap, and test to what extent dispositional impulsivity, self-control, aggression, and state anger contribute to aggression upon provocation when there is a financial cost involved. We find that costly retaliation is strongly linked to dispositional aggression, the tendency to act impulsively, and angry state affect, but less affected by other forms of self-control (e.g., delay of gratification) or social desirability. This work sheds light on the prominent role of motor impulsivity in predicting reactive aggression that has a tangible financial cost and provides a tool for the future investigation of reactive aggression in an experimental setting.

“…Although the homogeneity of the condition presented common challenges, homogeneity of demographics such as socioeconomic status, race, and gender is a limitation of the study. As our participants had a higher education and socioeconomic status than the national average, they might experience lower resource scarcity and higher environmental stability, and thus have more opportunity for focusing on future needs, critical thinking, and self-reflection [ 69 ]. In addition, as participants were recruited from a text-based online support group, they may have fewer symptoms relating to communicative or social ability than other people with brain injury.…”

Background The effects of brain injury, structural damage, or the physiological disruption of brain function last far beyond initial clinical treatment. Self-tracking and management technologies have the potential to help individuals experiencing brain injury in their personal recovery—helping them to function at their best despite ongoing symptoms of illness. However, current self-tracking technologies may be unsuited for measuring the interconnected, nonlinear ways in which brain injury manifests. Objective This study aimed to investigate (1) the current informational practices and sensemaking processes used by postacute brain injury patients during personal recovery and (2) the potential role of quality-of-life instruments in improving patient awareness of brain injury recovery, advocacy, and involvement in care used outside the clinical context. Our objective was to explore the means of improving awareness through reflection that leads to compensatory strategies by anticipating or recognizing the occurrence of a problem caused by impairment. Methods We conducted a qualitative study and used essentialist or realist thematic analysis to analyze the data collected through semistructured interviews and questionnaires, 2 weeks of structured data collection using brain injury–specific health-related quality of life instrument, quality of life after brain injury (QoLIBRI), and final interviews. Results Informational practices of people with brain injury involve data collection, data synthesis, and obtaining and applying the insights to their lifestyles. Participants collected data through structured tools such as spreadsheets and wearable devices but switched to unstructured tools such as journals and blogs as changes in overall progress became more qualitative in nature. Although data collection helped participants summarize their progress better, the lack of conceptual understanding made it challenging to know what to monitor or communicate with clinicians. QoLIBRI served as an education tool in this scenario but was inadequate in facilitating reflection and sensemaking. Conclusions Individuals with postacute brain injury found the lack of conceptual understanding of recovery and tools for making sense of their health data as major impediments for tracking and being aware of their personal recovery. There is an urgent need for a better framework for recovery and a process model for choosing patient-generated health data tools that focus on the holistic nature of recovery and improve the understanding of brain injury for all stakeholders involved throughout recovery.
