Behavioral Biases in Investor Decision-Making: A Comparative Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Finance Research by Seyed Amir Sabet, Saeed Aibaghi esfahani, Abdolmajid Abdolbaghi Ataabadi

“…By understanding these biases, markets can develop tools to mitigate their effects and foster more rational decision-making, as recognizing behavioral biases in investment decisions proves crucial for both investors and policymakers to help mitigate irrational choices and avoid unexpected financial risks, while this research aligns with global behavioral finance studies in emphasizing the need for bias-aware strategies to enhance decision-making stability.MethodsThis meta-analysis synthesizes empirical research on investor behavioral biases through a rigorous four-step methodology: (1) systematic literature review to identify relevant studies, (2) effect size calculation using standardized metrics, (3) heterogeneity testing via Q-statistics and I² to assess consistency, and (4) model selection (fixed- or random-effects) based on heterogeneity levels, with inclusion criteria requiring studies to examine at least one of 12 key biases (e.g., overconfidence, loss aversion), report statistical outcomes (effect sizes, p-values), and cover diverse markets including traditional assets and cryptocurrencies. …”

Investigating the role of basement structures in controlling facies characteristics, depositional models, and diagenetic alterations of the Sarvak Formation in the eastern and west... by Marzieh Mahmoodi, Hamzeh Mehrabi, Reza Nozaem

“…For facies analysis and reconstruction of the depositional environment, the standard model by Flügel (2013) is applied. The sequence stratigraphic division is based on the identification of certain significant surfaces (i.e., sequence boundaries and maximum flooding surfaces) that act as timelines in creating the chronostratigraphic framework of the target formation (Vail et al. 1977). …”

Approaches used to prevent and reduce the use of restrictive practices on adults with learning disabilities: a realist review by Joy Duxbury, Alina Haines-Delmont, John Baker, Peter Baker, Gary Bourlet, Elaine Craig, James Ridley, Rachel Whyte, Beth Morrison, Michaela Thomson, Anthony Tsang, Tella Lantta

“…Interventions should be implemented to target stress reduction among staff to mitigate burnout; these could be both preventive (e.g. mindfulness training) and provided as care for staff who already have developed burnout symptoms. Workforce development Training for staff should focus more on continuing education on topics such as human rights, person-centred and trauma-informed approaches rather than short courses on physical interventions (see The Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards: https://restraintreductionnetwork.org/know-the-standard/). …”
