An examination was carried out of the influences of concealing academic achievement on self-esteem in an academically relevant social interaction based on the assumption that concealing socially devalued characteristics should influence individuals' self-esteem during social interactions.
An interview paradigm called for school-aged adolescents who either were or were not low (academic) achievers to play the role of students who were or were not low achievers while answering academically relevant questions. The data suggest that the performance self-esteem of low achievers
who played the role of good students was more positive than that of low achievers who played the role of low achievers. On the other hand, participants who played the role of good students had more positive performance self-esteem than did participants who played the role of low achievers.

In this study, cognitive effects relating to concealable stigma of adolescents with learning disabilities (Learning Disabilities, LD) were examined under the condition in which learning-related information was concealed. A total of 158 adolescents (78 LD adolescents, 80 NLD adolescents)
participated in the present study. Results showed that: (1) the LD group in the concealed condition exhibited a higher level of suppressing learning-relevant thoughts than did those in the disclosed condition; (2) LD children in both conditions showed increasing accessibility of learning-relevant
thoughts than did the NLD (Non-Learning Disabilities) group during the interview.

Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the association between negative aging stereotypes and goal pursuit in daily life among older adults. We also explored the roles of stereotype threat and stereotype challenge reactions in mediating this association. Additionally, this study investigated whether variations in these associations exist among older adults based on their self-integrity levels.
Methods
Participants were 100 older adults who completed daily measures assessing negative aging stereotype experiences, threat and challenge reactions, goal pursuit activities, and self-integrity over a week.
Results
More daily experiences of negative aging stereotypes were associated with greater avoidance of responsibilities in goal pursuit and less progress toward goals. Increased threat reactions and decreased challenge reactions were mediators of the association between stereotype experiences and avoidance of responsibilities, as well as that between stereotype experiences and progress toward goals, respectively. Moreover, the associations between threat reactions and avoidance of responsibilities as well as between stereotype experiences and challenge reactions were more pronounced in older adults with lower self-integrity levels.
Discussion
This study is pioneering in demonstrating the real-life interplay between aging stereotypes and goal pursuit among older adults. Its findings not only expand upon the literature concerning aging stereotypes, but also offer theoretical insights for the development of interventions aimed at goal pursuit. These insights have significant implications for fostering healthy aging.

Development of a highly effective vaccine or antibodies for prevention and ultimately elimination of malaria is urgently needed. Here, we report the isolation of a number of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) circumsporozoite protein (CSP) from several subjects immunized with an attenuated whole sporozoite (SPZ) vaccine (Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine). Passive transfer of one of these antibodies, mAb CIS43, conferred high-level, sterile protection in two different mouse models of malaria infection. Stoichiometry and affinity of mAb CIS43 for PfCSP indicate two sequential multivalent binding events to six sites: the first 7-fold higher affinity binding event is to a unique "junctional" epitope positioned between the N-terminus and the central repeat domain of PfCSP. Moreover, mAb CIS43 prevented proteolytic cleavage of PfCSP on PfSPZ. Crystal structures of the CIS43 fragment antigen binding (Fab) in complex with the junctional epitope determined the molecular interactions of binding, revealed the epitope's conformational flexibility, and defined NPN as the structural repeat motif. The demonstration that mAb CIS43 is highly effective for passive prevention of malaria has potential application for use in travelers, military personnel and elimination campaigns and identifies a new and conserved site of vulnerability on PfCSP for next generation rational vaccine design.
