Discussing good news builds strength in relationships. In particular, perceiving a close other as enthusiastic about good fortune can help individuals maintain relational strength when relationship security is threatened. In an experiment and a daily diary study, how self‐esteem moderates perceptions of a partner's response to these capitalization attempts following relationship threats were examined. After having been primed with relationship threat (Study 1) or on days following relationship conflict (Study 2), low‐self‐esteem persons perceived less partner enthusiasm about their good news, but high‐self‐esteem persons perceived more partner enthusiasm. Self‐esteem had no effect after a neutral prime or no‐conflict days. These results indicate that capitalization as a strategy for repairing relationships may depend on the partners' self‐esteem.

In January 2014, Hicks & Company completed an intensive areal survey of the Jacob's Well Natural Area in Wimberley, Hays County, Texas. The survey was completed for Hays County under Texas Antiquities Permit #6732 in preparation for redevelopment of the 81.5-acre area as detailed in the Jacob's Well Development Master Plan finalized in July 2012. The improvements will be constructed on land that is owned and controlled by Hays County, a political subdivision of the State of Texas, and is therefore subject to the requirements of the Antiquities Code of Texas. Furthermore, since the proposed project is funded through an Outdoor Recreation Grant by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Recreation Grants Branch, and utilizing the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, the project is also subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Construction is anticipated to include a new visitor center, trails, interpretive areas, and other associated infrastructure throughout the site. The archeological investigations consisted of pedestrian survey supplemented by shovel testing (n = 79). No previously unrecorded archeological sites were encountered during the survey; however, archeologists revisited Site 41HY25 just south of Jacob's Well, originally recorded in 1963 as a site comprised of three burned rock middens. No clear indication of the three burned rock middens originally recorded was observed, and no artifacts or additional features were recorded during the current investigations. Regarding its boundaries within the survey area, the research value of Site 41HY25 is considered to be exhausted, and any of its components within the Jacobs Well Natural Area are considered ineligible for listing as a State Antiquities Landmark or for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The remainder of the project area contained three intermittent trash scatters, most of which contained glass bottles, rusted metal car parts, and other discarded items. One of these scatters covered an approximately 30-meter by 40-meter area and contained modern (likely post-1980) discarded materials such as doors, windows, fencing, and a concrete sculpture within the prairie west of Camp Jacob. Two isolated finds, a broken biface and a primary flake, were noted on the surface of the uplands in the northern portion of the project area. Shovel testing and surface inspection surrounding these artifacts indicated that the area was devoid of additional artifacts or features. Hicks & Company recommends that the proposed project be allowed to proceed with no further cultural resource coordination. The survey followed a no-collection policy, and all artifacts were returned to their find location in the field. All project-related notes, forms, and photographs will be permanently curated at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory in Austin, Texas.

Abstract
Beyond its probable effect on preventing financial problems, frugality may contribute to consumer well‐being in other ways. Using survey data collected from American undergraduates, in this paper we demonstrate that frugality is negatively associated with several types of alcohol use. These relationships hold even when sex and impulsivity are controlled. To further substantiate the link between frugality and college‐student drinking, we confirmed that typical amount spent on alcohol mediates the relations between frugality and each type of drinking we assessed. These results are consistent with suggestions that young adults' drinking‐related choices are subject to price considerations and that policy makers may be able to leverage such considerations to prevent excessive drinking.

Abstract Four‐year‐olds were asked to assess an adult listener's knowledge of the location of a hidden sticker after the listener was provided an ambiguous or unambiguous description of the sticker location. When preschoolers possessed private knowledge about the sticker location, the location they chose indicated that they judged a description to be unambiguous even when the message was ambiguous from the listener's perspective. However, measures of implicit awareness (response latencies and eye movement measures) demonstrated that even when preschoolers had private knowledge about the sticker location, ambiguous messages led to more consideration of an alternative location and longer response latencies than unambiguous messages. The findings demonstrate that children show sensitivity to linguistic ambiguity earlier than previously thought and, further, that they can detect linguistic ambiguity in language directed to others even when their own knowledge clarifies the intended meaning.
