New preprint 🥳 The city of Leipzig conducts large-scale surveys of adolescents. In 2023, the gender gap in life satisfaction has significantly widened, with girls declining more steeply than boys. What's up with that?> (work with @rmcelreath.bsky.social and @gregork.bsky.social)

Mean life satisfaction in the survey years 2010, 2015 and 2023, separately for female and male gender.
In general, girls have lower scores but in 2023, they are drifting even further down

The city of Leipzig in Germany conducts large-scale school surveys of adolescents in secondary education schools. Following the regular surveys in 2010 and 2015, the 2020 survey had to be rescheduled to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this latest survey wave, the gender gap in general life satisfaction has significantly grown. While in 2010 and 2015 girls were somewhat less satisfied than boys (0.26 to 0.33 SD), in 2023 this gender gap had doubled (with girls 0.57 SD less satisfied). Why? Here, we probe various explanations, aiming to provide a template for researchers who are asking reverse causal questions (“What caused this?”). First, we find that the widening of the gender gap is much more pronounced among students with a migration background. This could plausibly be explained by a shift in the composition of the underlying population, with a strong increase of Syrian students, and a relative decrease of Vietnamese ones. Second, among students without a migration background, part of the increasing gender gap could potentially be attributed to survey mode: In 2023, for the first time, the survey was conducted on tablets—and unexpectedly, girls (but not boys) reported significantly lower satisfaction when surveyed on tablet rather than on paper. Third, beyond these two patterns, we still find significantly widening gender gaps in satisfaction with leisure time activities and relationships to friends. Thus, there may be a substantive increase in the gender gap in satisfaction in those two domains that is not readily attributable to changes in population and survey mode.

Amid concern about skyrocketing fuel prices due to the illegal war on Iran, I am drawn back to this classic graph from @sciam.bsky.social showing that, among the diversity of locomotors in the animal kingdom, a human on a 🚲 is one of the most efficient www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-hu...

An X-Y graph that locates animals along dimensions of X - body weight (kilogrammes, on a log scale: lighter to heavier) and Y - cost of transport (calories per gramme per kilometre: More efficient to less efficient). The graph title is "A Human on a Bicycle is among the Most Efficient Forms of Travel in the Animal Kingdom." Groupings of animals are shown in purple (swimmers), teal (fliers), magenta (walkers/runners) and yellow (animals in vehicles). Swimmers are very efficient - and a purple cloud is located in the lower left quadrant. While vehicles (yellow cloud) are located to the right (heavy, and of moderate efficiency), a human on a bike is almost at maximum efficiency, and is located very close to the cloud of swimmers. A human on a velomobile (a bicycle with an aerodynamic shell is slightly more efficient). The source note at the bottom of the graph is as follows: DTAN Studio; Sources: “Energetic Cost of Locomotion in Animals,” by Vance A. Tucker, in Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Vol. 34; June 15, 1970 (most data); chart by Dan Todd in “Bicycle Technology,” by S. S. Wilson, in Scientific American, Vol. 228, No. 3; March 1973 (data for human on a bicycle); Tyson Hedrick/University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (velomobile calculation)

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is when heart rate fluctuates along with the respiratory cycle. Anticipatory cardiac deceleration (ACD) is when heart rate decreases in anticipation of stimulus. RSA and ACD overlap. This study attempted to disentangle them. Nice work!👏
