Institutional environment, academic attitude, and misconduct among medical students
BACKGROUND: Academic misconduct poses a severe threat to scientific integrity and medical ethics. While gender disparities in misconduct are widely documented, the underlying cognitive mechanisms explaining why males are more susceptible, and whether a supportive institutional environment can buffer the risks associated with academic pressure and negative attitudes, remain underexplored in the context of Chinese medical education. METHODS: A mult…
When Can AI Models Explain Learning? Validity Criteria for AI as Cognitive Models in Education
Traditional verbal theories in educational psychology often remain underspecified at the mechanistic level. While they offer rich descriptive constructs and conceptual insights, they provide limited accounts of how learning processes unfold dynamically and causally. Here, “verbal” denotes theories stated in prose and qualitative relations rather than as formal, computational process models. This lack of mechanistic precision constrains rigorous t…
Emotions Are Not Random
Emotion research in second language learning has largely focused on static, trait-based measures, especially anxiety, while neglecting contextual and temporal dynamics. This study reconceptualizes emotions as emergent and context-dependent, shaped by real-time interactions with learning activities and self-perceptions. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), 92 adult learners reported their emotional states (anxiety, enjoyment, boredom), per…

Five Educational-Psychology Lenses for Training and Evaluating AI Models
Artificial intelligence has drawn on cognitive and educational psychology since its origins, and contemporary training pipelines for large language models and related systems (curated data curricula, staged prompting supports, feedback from human judges, and benchmark-driven evaluation) make this connection unusually concrete. Drawing on Messick’s (1995) unified theory of validity, we use educational psychology to derive a set of validity checks …

Government Environment Attention and Firms' Subnational Migration in China
Prior literature has mainly focused on cross‐country migration driven by the heterogeneous stringency of environmental regulations. Drawing upon the political dependence perspective, we propose that local governments expressing greater attention to environmental issues prompted firms to relocate subnationally. To test our hypotheses, we compiled a firm‐level longitudinal dataset composed of 970 Chinese publicly listed firms from 2012 to 2022 and …
Graph Neural Networks With Interaction-Aware View Fusion for Graph Classification
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in graph classification tasks. Most existing GNNs designed for graph classification adopt a structure that combines graph convolutional operators with graph pooling operators. However, these methods are often prone to being misled by spurious connections between nodes, which can arise due to noise or inherent data bias. Furthermore, these methods struggle to simultaneously cap…

The Chinese mafia
Gambetta's theoretical framework focuses on two important aspects directly relating to the birth and development of mafias, namely a demand for private protection and a supply of the same. In the Post-Mao era, China started its transition from a centrally controlled economy to a market-directed economy by adopting reform and opening-up policies. The widespread creation of property rights has exponentially enlarged the demand for protection. Howev…

Results revealed that transformational leadership and effica…
Criminal rituals
Why do criminals use rituals? Past work argues that criminal rituals provide a sense of continuity or certainty in an inherently uncertain environment. We argue instead that rituals play an important organisational role. Criminal rituals facilitate internal governance and promote group activity through three mechanisms: creating common knowledge, mitigating the costs of asymmetric information, and shaping identity among group members. Using inter…
After the Bo Xilai Trial
Curbing corruption is vital for China's future. But the exposure of corruption cases can only damage public confidence in the CCP and the state more generally
How to Engage in Illegal Transactions
How do exchange participants address risk in illegal transactions? The socio-cultural literature examines risk from cultural, ‘risk society’ and ‘governmentality’ perspectives, but there is relatively little empirical work focusing on the ways in which people experience and handle risk in illegal markets. Drawing on insights from criminology, economic sociology and social psychology, this article aims to contribute to the study of risk and uncert…
Family patronage, institutional patronage, and work family conflict
This paper concerns women’s life chances by investigating the relationship between women’s employment status and their subjective well-being. Based on the segmented labor market structure in urban China, we divide urban women into three groups, i.e., women working in the public sector, women working in the private sector, and women who are not in the labor market. Analyzing data from the 2013 Chinese General Social Survey, we find that (1) marrie…

Cultural Omnivorousness and Status Inconsistency in Chile
Sociological research has long suggested that cultural participation is socially stratified. We build on this literature to discuss the role of the subjective and objective dimensions of stratification and how they are linked to practices of social distinction through cultural consumption. The aim of this study is to understand (1) the effect of subjective and objective social status on patterns of cultural participation and (2) the implications …
The effects of violent video games and shyness on individuals’ aggressive behaviors
The general aggression model (GAM) has suggested that the interaction between person factors (e.g., personality variables) and situation factors (e.g., playing violent video games [VVGs]) can increase individuals’ aggressive behaviors through their cognition (e.g., hostile attributions), affect (e.g., negative affect), and/or arousal. The present study employed a modified competitive reaction time task to test the effects of shyness, violent (vs.…
