The impact of media coverage of a celebrity suicide on suicide and attempted suicide rates in Taiwan
Mind over matter
Singapore implemented legal amendments that led to a transition from a mandatory death penalty to a discretionary death penalty in some cases of murder. This has granted judges greater leeway in the sentencing of homicide offenders, with a decade having now passed since the 2012 amendment. A notable scarcity of research exists to understand the relationship between mental illnesses and criminal culpability, as well as how diminished responsibilit…
Association Between Egalitarian Gender Attitudes and Attitudes Toward Same-Sex Marriage
Egalitarian gender attitudes are linked to increased support for same-sex marriage, with previous studies mainly focusing on Western countries. Limited existing research from Asian countries often relied on non-representative, convenient samples. Taiwan, the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019, offers a valuable context. Since surveys before 2020 lacked questions on attitudes toward same-sex marriage, we utilized the 2020 PS…
Dynamic reciprocal relationships between traditional media reports, social media postings, and youth suicide in Taiwan between 2012 and 2021
Rising social media use over the past decade has been linked with increasing suicide rates among young people.

Understanding the use of circumvention tools to bypass online censorship
Circumvention tools designed to bypass online censorship—such as simple web proxies, virtual private network service, and so on—are frequently used in countries whose governments impose heavy Internet censorship. Around 18 million Internet users in China are currently using those tools to bypass the Great Firewall and access unblocked online content. In a pioneering empirical investigation of unblocked information seeking in China’s censored onli…
A test of the substitution hypothesis
Neuroethics in Taiwan
Latecomers to neuroscience, Taiwanese scientists and humanities scholars have yet to develop a distinctive discourse of neuroethics. It is important to involve the public in the discussion of science policy early on, so the results of a survey of attitudes toward the establishment of a brain bank in Taiwan are used here to explore Taiwanese thinking about the brain. Finally, the possibility of developing a Confucian neuroethic is discussed as an …
