High sugar-sweetened beverage intake predicts adverse physical, emotional, and sleep health trajectories in adolescents
Background Excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is a major source of added sugars among adolescents and has been associated with adverse cardiometabolic, emotional, and sleep-related outcomes. However, longitudinal evidence from Asian populations remains limited. This 4-year prospective cohort study examined the associations between SSB intake and multiple health trajectories during adolescence. Methods A total of 1,204 adole…
Between Words and Minds
Psycholinguistics, established as a field in the 1950s, is concerned with how humans process language and how they store and retrieve linguistic information. Its development arose from a convergence of insights: Psychologists realized that one cannot study language without learning the structural properties of language itself, and linguists came to acknowledge that language, as a human capacity, must be represented in ways that can be processed b…
The relationship between mindfulness and second language resilience among Chinese English majors
The results of this study have implications for fostering students' L2 resilience and helping them cope with the challenge of the language learning process. Teachers can implement relevant intervention promoting students' mindfulness, academic hope, and L2 resilience into language instruction, which conducing to students' language learning success
How social responses to online hate messages affect hatefulness
This study explored competing predictions about how social interactions among social media hate posters affect the sequential level of hatefulness as toxicity. Analyses involve a thousand original hateful posts and the subsequent posts by the same posters ( N = 1,227,756 posts) on Gab—a platform particularly hospitable to hate messaging—and Likes, Dislikes, and written replies from other users that affirmed or negated the initial hate posts. Like…
Prosody in Pragmatic Competence
This cross-sectional study examines the sociopragmatic use of pitch and fluency features in requests among second language (L2) Chinese learners at two proficiency levels alongside native Chinese speakers. Twenty-eight L2 learners completed a 40-item oral discourse task with two types of request-making situations: (a) a high-imposition request to a higher status person and (b) a low-imposition request to an equal-status person. Similarly to nativ…
Seeing meaning even when none may exist
> 16,000 from the United States and China) support our prediction. People who score higher in collectivism (valuing connection and fitting in) are more likely to find fake news meaningful and believe in pseudoscience (Studies 1 to 3). China-U.S. cross-national comparisons show parallel effects. Relative to people from the United States, Chinese participants are more likely to see meaning in randomly generated vague claims (Study 4). People higher…
Truth from familiar turns of phrase
The power of precise numbers
Numerosity and Consumer Behavior How to Make a 29% Increase Look Bigger
Psychologists have long been intrigued by how humans and nonhuman primates process magnitudes such as “how far, how fast, how much, how long, and how many.” This fascination perhaps stems from the fact that magnitude estimations of space, time, and number form the bedrock of most of the decisions that we make in daily life. Decisions about how many cookies to eat, how many payments to make, how many days to wait for a product, all have one thing …
How and Why 1 Year Differs from 365 Days
The same quantity can be expressed at different levels of granularity, for example, "1 year," "12 months," or "365 days." Consumers attend to the granularity chosen by a communicator and draw pragmatic inferences that influence judgment and choice. They consider estimates expressed in finer granularity more precise and have more confidence in their accuracy (studies 1-4). This effect is eliminated when consumers doubt that the communicator compli…
