Competitions in combat sports are divided into certain weight classes in order to compete fairly among athletes of similar body weight.

Fowler, Lauren A.; Moore, Philip J.; Macura, Zeljka; Singh, Michelle A.; Cooke, Frances P. R.; Charmak, William D. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The expectancy-value (EV) framework is among the most prominent psychological approaches to predicting behavioral intentions. However, how expectancies and values are cognitively integrated (e.g., multiplicatively, additively or averaging) to produce intentions has yet to be tested. This research combined EV and Information Integration Theory…

Brazendale, Keith; Brazendale, Allison B.; Garcia, Jeanette M.; Monroe, Courtney M.; Weaver, R. Glenn; Beets, Michael W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The 'Structured Days Hypothesis' suggests that children's obesogenic behaviors (e.g., activity, diet, sleep, and screen time) are less favorable during times when there is less-structure to a child's day (e.g., summer). To compare obesogenic behaviors of children with developmental disabilities (DD) during summer on days with differing amounts of…
