Changes in frailty and incident risk of degenerative bone and joint diseases and their multimorbidity
Background: Frailty reflects multisystem physiological vulnerability and has been associated with an array of adverse health outcomes. However, evidence on how frailty and its longitudinal changes relate to degenerative bone and joint diseases (DBJDs) and their multimorbidity remains limited. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the UK Biobank (UKB). Frailty was evaluated using a validated frailty index (FI). Changes i…
Plant-based diet, metabolic signature, genetic susceptibility, and risk of musculoskeletal disorders
Aims To explore the association between plant-based diets, diet-related metabolic signatures, and the risk of total and specific musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), while accounting for genetic susceptibility. Methods We analyzed data from 107,983 participants in the UK Biobank. Plant-based diet indices [PDI, unhealthy PDI (uPDI), and healthy PDI (hPDI)] were calculated via 24-h dietary recalls. Elastic net regression was applied to generate PDIs-r…

This study investigates the impact of the Ecological Garden City (EGC) initiative, an environmental ince…
Testing message strategies that minimize White Americans’ backlash to racial equity information
Scholars have worried that messages about racial equity can produce backlash from White respondents. Drawing upon psychological reactance theory, we compared cognitive and affective responses to a message emphasizing how a redistributive policy would benefit everyone (universalist message) to a message that also emphasized how the policy would especially benefit minoritized racial groups (targeted universalist message) among a sample of 871 White…
Communicative AI in the scientific public sphere
Research on paragraph-level functional structure recognition in scientific literature
The automatic recognition of functional structures within scientific literature enhances fine-grained information retrieval and mitigates issues associated with imbalanced text classification. Although multilevel functional structure research is relatively advanced, achieving high accuracy in overall label prediction and recognition, precise functional structure identification at the paragraph level remains challenging. To address this issue, we …
Upcycling sewage sludge into anammox seeds via in situ nitrate-driven oxidation
Beyond fear of backlash
Although U.S. health disparities are well-documented, the very communities that bear the brunt of those disparities are, ironically, underrepresented in scientific efforts to understand and address them. In two experiments (total N = 9523), we explored the consequences of omitting those perspectives for efforts to understand and address disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that, by prioritizing the perspectives of White Americans, studi…
Effects of Race-Specific Prevalence and Racial Disparity Information About Obesity and Diabetes
There are significant racial disparities in obesity and diabetes such that prevalence rates are higher among Black Americans than White Americans. This study examined effects of communicating the prevalence of obesity/diabetes and comparing race-specific prevalence rates between White and Black Americans to highlight racial health disparities. We conducted two preregistered, between-subjects randomized online experiments with an analytic sample o…
Understanding the Interaction Effects of Sexual Appeals and Social Eating Cues in Food Advertisements on Attention, Memory, and Purchase Intention
Sexual appeals and social eating cues are pervasive elements within fast food advertising, widely recognized for their presumed effectiveness. However, their combined impact on cognitive processing and behavior remains understudied. This study sought to address this gap by examining how social eating cues (individual vs. group) in fast food ads would influence individual responses, as varied by the presence of sexual appeal. A mixed factorial des…
The Failure of Social Media Politics? Unpacking Interlocking Discourses in Contemporary China’s Online Anti-Surrogacy Sentiments
This paper combines automated scraping of Weibo data and critical discourse analysis to examine the online anti-surrogacy sentiments in China, and finds three nodal points in the interlocking anti-surrogacy discourses. Firstly, through a heterosexual male persona, anti-surrogacy sentiments argue that the legalization of surrogacy would reduce the number of women of marriageable age. Secondly, radical feminist voices argued that surrogacy would ma…
Effects of Melodic Contour on Sung Speech Intelligibility in Noisy Environments in Musicians and Nonmusicians
Using songs to facilitate speech processing in noisy environments seems appealing and practical. However, current research suggests otherwise, possibly due to the simplicity of sung speech contours. This study investigates the effects of contour tonality on sung speech intelligibility in noisy environments. A cohort of 20 trained musicians and 20 nonmusicians were tested on the intelligibility of Mandarin sentences sung on tonal, atonal, and fixe…
An exploratory qualitative analysis of public awareness, communication dynamics, and behavioral patterns regarding food safety in Mainland China
Findings from this study highlighted individuals' concerns about environmental pollution and the use of chemical substances in food safety issues.

Effects of communicating health disparities using social comparison framing
Equivalence Framing and the Construction of Advocacy Messages
Alternative messages that present logically equivalent information, often referred to as equivalence frames, have been shown to influence readers' opinions on public issues. While equivalence framing has been studied in the context of issue advocacy, exhibiting pervasive effects across domains of decision‐making, little attention has been paid to whether the general public is able to choose these equivalence frames based on the goal of persuasion…
Is exposure to pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising for heart disease and diabetes associated with physical activity and dietary behavior
Many Americans were regularly exposed to pharmaceutical DTCA for heart disease and diabetes from 2003 to 2016. Widespread exposure to such DTCA is associated with higher levels (though small in magnitude) of consuming alcohol, fast food, candy, and sugar-sweetened beverages
Effects of social comparison framing of racial health disparities and behaviors
Messages that feature intergroup comparisons (social comparison frames) regularly communicate the relative prevalence of health problems and preventive behaviors. While prior studies find that comparing disease risks between racial groups are met with resistance from the disadvantaged group, we extended existing research by investigating if behavioral comparisons which show that the higher-risk group also excels in disease prevention efforts coul…
Factors Influencing Public Awareness of and Attitudes Toward Palliative Care
Background: The global burden of serious health-related suffering requiring palliative care has been projected to grow significantly by 2060, which indicates the imminent need for integrating palliative care into health systems globally. Moreover, research evidence has been accumulating in support of the earlier adoption of palliative care into the treatment course of serious life-threatening illnesses. However, barriers to earlier access to pall…

Cultural Differences in Cancer Information Acquisition
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in China and the United States. Past studies found that cancer risk perceptions, fatalistic beliefs, and worry were prominent predictors of health-related behaviors. Perceived cancer risks, fatalistic beliefs, and worry were associated with cancer information acquisition in the United States. However, little is known about whether these factors played comparable roles in China. This study investiga…
Effects of Communicating Prevalence Information about Two Common Health Conditions
Obesity and diabetes are widespread health conditions with rising prevalence rates in the United States. News stories and health campaign messages frequently feature prevalence rates of obesity and diabetes, at times under the expectation that such messages will increase readers' disease awareness, health behaviors, and policy support. At the same time, American adults overestimate the prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the absence of prevalen…
Trait Mindfulness and Physical Health among Chinese Middle-Older Adults
Few studies have focused on the specific effects of trait mindfulness on physical health status, especially from a resilient aging perspective. This study examined the mediating role of mental health in the association between trait mindfulness and physical health status among middle-older adults in urban China. The participants included 188 individuals who were recruited from a community senior university and five community senior care centers. …
Camera Point-of-View Exacerbates Racial Bias in Viewers of Police Use of Force Videos
The implementation of body-worn cameras (BWC) by policing agencies has received widespread support from many individuals, including citizens and police officers. Despite their increasing prevalence, little is known about how the point-of-view (POV) of these cameras affects perceptions of viewers. In this research, we investigate how POV interacts with skin color of citizens in police use of force videos to affect perceptions of procedural justice…
Effects of Frame Repetition Through Cues in the Online Environment
Research has shown that message frames can shape a reader’s subsequent judgments on political issues. In the online news environment, additional cues outside the story may be present that can affect the power of the frame. This online experiment investigates the role of repetitive cues in the framing processes using news editorials and their accompanying recommended headlines that repeat the editorial’s frame. Results suggest that regarding issue…
The role of prior attitudes in narrative persuasion
Narrative messages are assumed to be more effective in changing recipients' attitudes than non-narrative messages. However, empirical evidence to support this assumption is sparse. We incorporated theoretical assumptions about the mechanisms of narrative persuasion into the two-step model of defensive processing to test whether narratives were more effective in changing recipients' attitudes toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. We co…
Framing Risk with Numbers
This study examines how risk assertions and relevant statistics presented in different number formats interact to influence emotional and cognitive outcomes. Experimental news stories present risk assertions that highlight either safety from or vulnerability to violent crime; these assertions are accompanied by crime statistics in absolute frequency, simple fraction, or percentage format. Although it may be tempting to assume that national statis…

Campaign Advertising and the Cultivation of Crime Worry
Previous research has documented that political information in the mass media can shape attitudes and behaviors beyond voter choice and election turnout. The current study extends this body of work to examine associations between televised political campaign advertising (one of the most common forms of political communication people encounter) and worry about crime and violence in the context of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. We merge two l…
Exposure to televised political campaign advertisements aired in the United States 2015-2016 election cycle and psychological distress
There was a consistent positive association between the volume of campaign advertising exposure and a reported diagnosis of anxiety among American adults
Beyond the Notion of Accessibility Bias
This study examines the cognitive mechanisms behind agenda-setting and priming effects. Recent evidence suggessts that accessibility effects within network models of memory are not well suited to explain agenda-setting and priming effects. This article attempts to provide additional evidence regarding the roles of issue accessibility and message content in agenda-setting and priming processes. Our findings indicate that changes in issue accessibi…

Global Heat Wave Hazard Considering Humidity Effects during the 21st Century
Humidity is a significant factor contributing to heat stress, but without enough consideration in studies of quantifying heat hazard or heat risk assessment. Here, the simplified wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) considering joint effects of temperature and humidity was utilized as a heat index and the number of annual total heat wave days (HWDs) was employed to quantify heat hazard. In order to evaluate the humidity effects on heat waves, we qua…

The Effects of Framing and Advocacy Expectancy on Belief Importance and Issue Attitude
Message frames have been found to influence relevant issue attitudes by influencing the weight of issue considerations emphasized in the message. As such message frames often originate from advocacy interest groups, this study investigates differences in the framing effects of advocacy groups, depending on whether the message fits readers’ expectations for the communicators’ issue position (expected advocacy) or not (unexpected advocacy). Across …

Source Trust and Covid-19 Information Sharing
Health information sharing has become especially important during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic because people need to learn about the disease and then act accordingly. This study examines the perceived trust of different COVID-19 information sources (health professionals, academic institutions, government agencies, news media, social media, family, and friends) and sharing of COVID-19 information in China. Specifically, it inv…
Evaporation and cracked soda soil improved by fly ash from recycled materials
The osmotic pressure of a soil solution increases due to soil salinization and the stability and sustainability of the soil becomes poor, which will affect the movement of water in soil. In this study, the evaporation capacity and desiccation cracking characteristics of soda soil samples with different content (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% by weight) of fly ash were investigated. After drying, the unconsumed water content of soil increased from 8.55 to…
Exploring Numerical Framing Effects
Statistical information permeates media messages, but little is known about how the use of different presentation formats influences message processing. Thus, we explore numerical framing effects by examining how presentation formats interact with gain/loss frames to alter message processing and issue perceptions. We found that logically equivalent information embedded in gain/loss frames generated different levels of comprehension when it was pr…
A 30-year controversy over the Shanghai East China Electric Power Building
The Shanghai East China Electric Power Building, which was completed in 1988, is widely accepted as one of the first postmodern high-rise buildings in Shanghai. Based on articles published in mass media and professional magazines, interviews with relevant stakeholders and social media debates, this paper focuses on two controversies regarding the building’s peculiar architectural form. The first occurred between 1988 and 1992, when the building’s…
