Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective This research, conducted in Iran, examined whether recalled childhood separation anxiety varied with sex, sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.Method Iranian cisgender gynephilic males (n = 248), cisgender ambiphilic males (n = 104), cisgender androphilic males (n = 310), transgender androphilic males (n = 102), cisgender androphilic females (n = 234), cisgender ambiphilic females (n = 94), cisgender gynephilic females (n = 31), and transgender gynephilic females (n = 119) rated their recalled traits of childhood separation anxiety (i.e., Parent Separation and Parent Worry) between 6 and 12 years of age.Result For Parent Separation subscale, cisgender ambiphilic and androphilic males scored intermediate between cisgender gynephilic males and transgender androphilic males. In females, transgender gynephilic females scored lower than all other groups except cisgender gynephilic females. For Parent Worry subscale, only transgender androphilic males exhibited an elevated mean score compared to other male groups, while no between-group difference was found in females.Conclusion Consistent with previous reports, our findings from Iran indicate positive associations exist in males among recalled childhood separation anxiety, androphilic sexual orientation, and feminine gender identity/expression. In addition, this study provides evidence that recalled childhood separation anxiety is lowered in transgender gynephilic females.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
