We present three studies examining evaluative associations as manifestations of implicit attitudes towards languages in three sociolinguistically distinct bilingual communities: Lombard–Italian, Moselle Franconian–German, and Welsh–English. Using a Go/No-Go Association Task (GNAT) that controls for spurious priming effects and subsequently allows split analyses, study 1 evidenced strongly negative attitudes towards Lombard across measures. Study 2 uncovered a similar trend towards Moselle Franconian, but only in response to pictures following words that required a Go response, not for pictures that followed non-target words. In study 3, although the GNAT failed to detect any significant associations, split analysis revealed that participants responded faster to positive pictures following non-target English words. Therefore, by splitting data according to the Go/NoGo status of the attitude object, we can achieve finer characterizations of implicit attitudes, while highlighting the prominent role of sociolinguistic context in modulating activation of each language in regional/minority language communities.

Gender-fair language policies promoting inclusivity are increasingly adopted in organizations, yet their effects on employees remain underexplored. We conducted two studies in an Italian public administration to examine the relationship between inclusive language and resignation intentions. Study 1 ( n = 369) investigated the associations among formal communications (e.g., official documents), perceived gender discrimination, inclusion, and turnover intentions. Results showed that formal inclusive language was associated with lower resignation intentions through perceived inclusion, but not through perceived discrimination. Study 2 ( n = 587) extended Study 1's findings by incorporating informal gender-inclusive language (e.g., casual conversations) into the language measure. Results showed that gender-inclusive language is indirectly and negatively associated with resignation intentions via the mediating effect of perceived workplace inclusion and, in turn, job satisfaction. These findings indicate that gender-inclusive language is most effective when organizational policies align with employees’ everyday communication. Both formal and informal channels play critical roles in shaping employees’ sense of inclusion and retention, highlighting the importance of integrating inclusive practices across organizational communication.

厘清虚拟网红情感依恋的中介与边界条件，对数字心理服务有借鉴意义。

Why selected: 平均 53 分，低于来源门槛 60

As virtual human influencers (VHIs) increasingly inhabit social media landscapes, they are functioning not merely as marketing tools but as social entities capable of eliciting user affection. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying emotional attachment to these artificial agents remain underexplored compared to their human counterparts. This study investigates how VHI self-disclosure influences emotional attachment, positing parasocial relationships as a mediator and perceived attractiveness and humanness as boundary conditions. We analyzed online survey data from 540 young adults familiar with VHIs using a moderated mediation framework. The findings reveal a complex dynamic distinct from human interaction: VHI self-disclosure generally hindered parasocial relationship formation unless the VHI was perceived as physically attractive. This suggests attractiveness acts as a requisite gateway for users to accept artificial disclosure as relationally meaningful. Subsequently, parasocial relationships strongly predicted emotional attachment, an effect significantly amplified by perceived humanness. Consequently, self-disclosure indirectly promoted emotional attachment only when the VHI was viewed as both attractive and human-like. These results delineate the distinct roles of VHI attributes: Attractiveness facilitates the initial establishment of a social connection (parasocial relationship), whereas perceived humanness deepens this bond into a meaningful emotional attachment. Theoretically, this study expands the understanding of human–agent interaction by identifying these differential pathways. Practically, it suggests that developers must prioritize high visual attractiveness to make VHI interactions acceptable, while simultaneously imbuing agents with human-like qualities to foster lasting emotional loyalty.

Despite growing interest in prompt engineering, its influence on user experience—particularly in relation to cultural communication norms—remains largely unexplored. This controlled experiment examined how respectful versus directive prompting—a culturally meaningful contrast in Korean—affects Korean users’ psychological experience during LLM interactions. Forty-three Korean female college students were randomly assigned to respectful prompt (RP) (using polite requests, compliments, and gratitude) or directive prompt (DP) (using imperatives, criticism, and performance-based penalties) conditions. Participants completed a writing task using ChatGPT. Results indicated that RPs yielded significantly higher satisfaction, particularly for affinity and likability, whereas the difference in perceived output quality was smaller and nonsignificant. Furthermore, RPs elicited socially supportive ChatGPT responses, whereas DPs were followed by apologies, suggesting bidirectional social adaptation between users and ChatGPT. Together, these findings suggest that culturally grounded communicative conventions may shape users’ subjective experience even where perceived output quality does not differ significantly, pointing to culturally adaptive large language model systems that recognize diverse communication patterns as essential design considerations rather than imposing universal paradigms.

以韧性视角替代缺陷取向，呈现黑人男性社区暴力暴露下的意义建构。

Why selected: 平均 55 分，低于来源门槛 60

Black men’s community violence exposure (CVE) is often framed through deficit-based lenses that obscure adaptation, meaning-making, and resilience. Using a qualitative descriptive design grounded in a social constructivist epistemology and guided by the Social Ecological Model, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 Black men aged 22–34 living across U.S. regions. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis, which generated four themes: Keeping My Head on a Swivel: Hypervigilance and Safety; Violence Is Everywhere; Community Protective Factors; and Creating Resiliency in the Face of Adversity. Participants described hypervigilance as a form of adaptive safety work that carried psychological and embodied costs. They also described violence as pervasive across neighborhoods, schools, and policing encounters. Protective factors included maternal figures, faith and spirituality, and education, while resilience was supported through emotion regulation, meaning-making, future orientation, mentoring, and strengthened relationships. Findings conceptualized CVE as an ecological condition rather than a discrete event and support Black psychology–informed assessment, intervention, and prevention that distinguish adaptive vigilance from pathology and strengthen protective systems.

While prior research has interrogated matters of suicide among Black young adults (i.e., 18 to 30 years old), few studies intentionally probe for gender differences during this developmental stage. In response to this concern, we analyzed data collected from ( N = 480) Black young adults who participated in an online cross-sectional survey. We used linear regression tests to measure the association between social support and suicidal ideation and applied qualitative content analysis techniques when asking participants to name their preferred sources of mental health support. Findings from the quantitative strand revealed no differences in suicidal ideation across gender groups. Results generated from the qualitative strand, however, demonstrate that young Black women more commonly reported turning to therapists and other mental health professionals, while young adult Black men more often reported turning to doctors instead. Notably, both groups listed that they relied on no one as their most common response. The divergence and similarities in the qualitative responses underscore the utility of mixed methods research and point to promising opportunities for advancements in suicide prevention research.

Although attitudes toward non-U.S. accented speakers have been widely studied, less is known about how accent and race intersect in the United States. This study examined the reported thoughts and feelings U.S. nationals expressed when they encounter Black, non-U.S.-accented speakers. Using a qualitative open-ended questionnaire, a purposive sample of monolingual English-speaking U.S. nationals ( N = 500) was assembled. Thematic analysis revealed that U.S. nationals’ thoughts about Black, non-U.S. accented speakers included (a) admiration, (b) curiosity, (c) profiling, (d) accommodation, and (e) processing fluency, with primary attention directed toward accent. Findings also indicated positive, negative, and neutral affect, centering on the intersection of accent, race, and immigrant identity. Overall, findings highlight the complexity and ambiguity of U.S. nationals’ cognitive and affective attitudes, demonstrating how multiple markers of social identity simultaneously implicated participants’ evaluations.

比较预防性接种与反应性羞辱，为危机沟通策略选择提供预注册证据。

Why selected: 平均 47 分，低于来源门槛 60

Tests comparing inoculation theory's preemptive refutation and image repair theory's reactive mortification in political scandals have indicated that the two monotherapies for crisis management are as effective as each other and perform equally well in adjunctive combination. Conspicuously absent from prior testing, however, is broader inoculation (“blanket protection”). I conduct preregistered multiple-message-design experiments testing a theoretical multiple-mediation model to assess messages affecting perceived scandal cover-up, followed by perceived trustworthiness, ultimately resulting in behavioral intentions. In the first study, N = 490 U.S. voters are exposed to political debate excerpts featuring a strongly favored politician under attack for sexist and higher-ed scandals. Isolated inoculation and mortification remain superior and do not vary. In the second study, N = 209 U.S. voters’ supported politician is attacked for public safety scandals. Isolated inoculation demonstrates superiority.

Digital visual aids like smartphone applications can potentially increase uptake and maintenance of Self-Skin Examination (SSE) behaviours, which is an essential secondary prevention strategy for early detection of skin cancer. This review aimed to understand whether digital visual aids with lesion monitoring functions improve SSE behaviours without negatively impacting health outcomes. A systematic search was performed using six databases for relevant literature published before June 2025. Studies were included if they used digital interventions that could monitor skin lesions and reported outcomes on SSE behaviours or their antecedents, such as SSE knowledge, attitudes and intentions. Data were analysed following an adapted Technological Acceptance Model framework. Twenty studies conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Australia involving 19 to 1,000 participants were included. Nineteen studies were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or nested within RCTs, with one non-nested cross-sectional study. Interventions were delivered by smartphone and/or tablet applications, or websites. Studies found digital visual aids led to improved knowledge ( n = 6), perceived usefulness ( n = 5), ease of use ( n = 7), attitudes towards SSE ( n = 13), as well as intention to perform regular SSE ( n = 5). Overall, there was a positive impact on health outcomes, with only two studies reporting an increase in anxiety and worry following the intervention. Three of seven studies demonstrated an increased likelihood of detecting malignant skin lesions when monitoring using digitally aided SSE. There is potential for digital visual aids to improve SSE behaviours. However, it is important to address barriers to the use of digital visual aids for SSE and to improve their integration with clinical care.

This study examined how older Nigerian adults appraise and cope with fear of falling (FOF) and how local context and personality influence coping strategies and support preferences. Using Interpretive Description with reflexive thematic analysis, we analyzed qualitative interviews with 24 community-dwelling adults aged 60–75 in Abuja and Jos, located in North Central Nigeria. Three primary themes emerged from the qualitative narratives: (1) Living with Uncertainty as Place-Bound Appraisal, (2) Composure-In-Action: Turning Fear into Procedures and Meanings, and (3) Social Architectures of Safety: Co-Producing What One Body Cannot Do Alone. Fear was tied to specific situations rather than experienced as generalized anxiety. Rather than avoiding activity altogether, participants developed practical coping routines, such as pausing and concentrating on stairs, resting when dizziness occurs, and ensuring dry footing before stepping onto tiled surfaces. Many reframed fear as caution, drew on faith to set a steady state, and selected visible or discreet supports to protect dignity. Coping was co-produced with peers, clinicians, family members, and transport workers through groups, WhatsApp prompts, situated coaching, and real-time negotiation. Personality appeared to shape preferences for how support was delivered rather than acting as a fixed determinant of behavior. Findings provide African-based evidence relevant to Black aging scholarship and point to meso-level delivery models in Nigerian cities that protect mobility, dignity, and independence.
