Mohaned G. Abed's research while affiliated with King Abdulaziz University and other places

... The sample included 41 men attending a Midwestern university in the U.S., with ages ranging from 18 to 33 years (M = 23.30; SD = 3.60; 71.1% of the sample was Caucasian, with Asian representing the second-most commonly reported ethnicity at 6.7%; see DeLecce, Fink, Shackelford, & Abed, 2020a;DeLecce et al. 2020b, DeLecce, Shackelford, Fink, & Abed, 2020cPham et al., 2018). By self-report, participants had not had a vasectomy and had never sought infertility treatment. ...

... For instance, maternal warmth likely also promotes positive images of God, such as God being a loving companion along a life journey (Dickie et al. 2006). In turn, recent evidence suggests that children presented with more positive images of God were more religious as adults (Tratner et al. 2020), both of which associate with greater levels of well-being (Homan 2014). Prior research has also documented that stably high levels of religiosity from childhood to adulthood is optimal for well-being relative to consistent non-involvement (Upenieks and Schafer 2020), but the results of the current study suggests that religious stability over the life course has differing effects for flourishing for men than for women. ...

... Schmitt (2006) argues that an unrestricted socio-sexual attitude appears in part to be an evolved feature of biological sex and is reported less by women in cross-cultural research. Women generally express more stringent standards to selecting short-term sexual partners (Li & Kenrick, 2006;Vance et al., 2020). Lesbians also report restricted, committed sexual attitudes whereas bisexual women display higher levels of non-committal sexual attitudes (Schmitt, 2006). ...

... Topics included those supported in previous research (e.g., sex, finances) and contemporary topics (screen time, entertainment choices) emerging from couples counseling experiences or literature. Interestingly, after multiple meetings, topics closely matched Lopes et al. (2020) Table 1 for the final list of topics. Participants selected and ranked their top five areas of disagreements from the list of 20 topics as not all topics would be relevant to all participants, and rating all topics could be arbitrary and potentially cumbersome for participants. ...

... The inclusive experiences of students with learning disabilities (LD) in higher education vary among universities worldwide (Abed & Shackelford, 2019, Lombardi et al., 2015. This variation is attributed to many factors, including the effectiveness of transition planning, which the students are provided within secondary school and the familiarity of faculty members with inclusive educational practices (Trainor et al., 2016). ...

... For example, among the horned beetle, males with smaller horns will compensate for this by developing larger testes (Simmons & Emlen, 2006). A number of studies have found that ejaculate quality in human males is negatively associated with social assertiveness and psychoticism, both markers of high testosterone (see DeLecce et al., 2020). ...
