One major concern in women’s health is dysmenorrhea. Amongst many other aspects, it can disrupt their daily and quality of life. A sincere and effective intervention is critical, especially as early as possible. Puberty is a milestone in children's development, especially in their personality and autonomy, which emphasises the need to alleviate the pain and allow for a healthy life and development. A lack of understanding and research has led to little progression in these types of life-changing interventions. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the data that is available is attested. This paper examines the replicability of the interaction effect of Anxiety and Depression on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The replicability of this will be an indication of robustness. This was investigated through the implication of percentage dropout conditions (excluding 5%, 15% and 30%) as well as resampling conditions with the most central, the most extreme and a random resampling condition. The results revealed that the central subsampling condition was comparatively the most robust to the percentage dropout condition, indicating a genuine interaction effect. The variability of the extreme condition, and its influence which is also reflected in the random condition, signifies the importance of proceeding research with caution.Show less

The desire for cognitive consistency is eminently influential on how such implicit and explicit attitudes translate into behavior and how attitudes change over different contexts. While it has been found that experiencing cognitive dissonance between discriminating behaviors and one’s values can lead to bias reduction, a recent study by Szekeres et al. (2022) also found the opposite: Inaction, or a failure to confront, in the face of witnessing prejudice, subsequently correlates with more discriminating attitudes. This effect was reported to be mediated by how much a person values confronting; it was specifically observed for respondents that valued confronting highly. The present paper aimed to test the robustness of this interaction of confronting importance with confronting behavior on attitude change across other subsamples. For this, three different resampling approaches instrumentalizing bootstrapping were employed that excluded different percentages of random respondents. The exclusions were either completely random or random within either extreme or central scoring participants. The comparison of the mean interaction coefficients and variances of the different resampling conditions showed that the mean interaction remained quite stable after resampling. Only excluding large percentages of extreme values led to somewhat of a drift to a larger interaction effect.Show less
