“…The statistical approach followed Preacher and Hayes [44] recommendations for testing multiple mediators, which has the advantage of specifying the magnitude of a potential mediator of the association conditioned on the presence of other mediators. We estimated the proportion of the direct effects that were mediated and tested the significance of these effects using bootstrapped standard errors and confidence intervals [45]. Because of the likelihood of non-normality of the total indirect effect, bootstrapping is advised [46].…”

Aims: To examine the role of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and impulsive personality disorders in nicotine addiction severity among treatment-seeking substance use disorder (SUD) patients. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we examined data from the second International ADHD in Substance Use Disorders Prevalence Study (IASP-2) on 402 adults in SUD treatment from Puerto Rico, Hungary, and Australia using diagnostic interviews for ADHD, antisocial (ASP) and borderline (BPD) personality disorders, and the self-report Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND). We compared SUD patients with and without ADHD on nicotine addiction severity. We tested direct and indirect pathways from ADHD to nicotine addiction and mediation Sánchez-García et al.

“…6 In Sweden, a country now championed for its family friendly environment, both contemporary and current scholars have argued that very low fertility was driven partly by female laborers who found it difficult to combine childcare with a career (Van Bavel 2010; Edin 1932). In the United States and Australia, nearly half of female university graduates in the early 20 th century remained childless, while the other half reached fertility levels well below replacement (Cookingham 1984; Mackinnon 1993; Goldin 2004). High incidences of childlessness among working women were also documented in England and Wales (Kelsall and Mitchell 1959) and Germany (von Ungern-Sternberg 1938).…”

While new empirical findings and theoretical frameworks provide insight into the interrelations between socioeconomic development, gender equity, and low fertility, puzzling exceptions and outliers in these findings call for a more all-encompassing framework to understand the interplay between these processes. We argue that the pace and onset of development are two important factors to be considered when analyzing gender equity and fertility. Within the developed world, “first-wave developers”—or countries that began socioeconomic development in the 19th/early 20th century – currently have much higher fertility levels than “late developers”. We lay out a novel theoretical approach to explain why this is the case and provide empirical evidence to support our argument. Our approach not only explains historical periods of low fertility but also sheds light on why there exists such large variance in fertility rates among today’s developed countries.

“…In South Australia only half of the first two hundred women graduates married. Their fertility rates, as a group, were far below the norm (Mackinnon 1993). In this they were no different to their highly educated sisters in Canada, the United States, Britain and New Zealand.…”
