Sustainability of a School-University Partnership in Vietnam: Perspectives from the Practice Architecture Theory
Unlocking social sustainability and inclusivity of digitalized urban public Facilities: A Causal model across global case studies
The rapid digital transformation of urban environments is reshaping how citizens interact with public infrastructure. One emerging innovation is Digitalized Urban Public Facilities (DUPFs). While DUPFs are widely recognized for their operational and technological benefits, their social implications, particularly regarding inclusivity and social sustainability, remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining how DUPF characteristi…
The Comparative Status Hypothesis: Inferences About Discrimination Vary Based on Identity Salience
Past research examining when people label an outcome as discrimination has largely ignored contextual factors beyond the victim–perpetrator dyad. We contend that the person who benefits from the outcome—referred to here as competitor—also influences how likely someone is to be labeled a victim of discrimination. Specifically, we argue that because people hold multiple social identities, which vary in their perceived status, the identity of a targ…
Seeing is believing: How front-of-pack food imagery shapes parents’ perceptions of child-oriented snack foods
Child-oriented snack foods often display front-of-pack images suggesting they are natural or wholesome, yet many of these products are ultra-processed and nutrient poor. This study investigated parent's perceptions in response to common forms of front-of-pack food imagery on child-orientated snacks. An online experiment comprising four between-subjects food image conditions (no image; food photo; food cartoon; cartoon of children gardening) and t…
Dynamics of Social Experiences in the Context of Extended Lockdown
Social interaction and loneliness have received much research interest. However, the direction of their relationship is unclear—does social interaction shape loneliness, or does loneliness shape willingness to interact? We explored dynamics of these social experiences under exceptional circumstances: COVID-19 lockdowns, which were necessary for public health but impacted people’s social lives. We investigated the relationship between social inter…
Why do we engage in everyday interpersonal emotion regulation
Interpersonal emotion regulation occurs when people influence others' emotions (extrinsic regulation) or turn to others to influence their own emotions (intrinsic regulation). Research on interpersonal regulation has tended to focus on how people regulate emotions, with little interrogation of why people do it, despite the importance of motives in driving emotion regulation goals and strategy selection. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic…
An investigation into teachers’ occupational well-being and education leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated rapid adjustments by teachers to ensure effective education. This shift in circumstances has created a more challenging working environment for teachers, leading to growing concerns about their occupational well-being both nationally and globally. While adapting to change and sustaining professional well-being are crucial for teachers, it is equally important to address their well-being during t…
Trajectories of Psychological Distress of Men Treated at Aboriginal Residential Rehabilitation Services for Alcohol and Drug Misuse
Does interpersonal emotion regulation effort pay off
Interpersonal emotion regulation shapes people's emotional and relational experiences. Yet, researchers know little about the regulation processes that influence these outcomes. Recent works in the intrapersonal emotion regulation space suggest that motivational strength, or effort , people invest in regulation might be the answer. We applied this motivated approach for the first time in the interpersonal space-looking at both intrinsic and extri…

Can Elections Motivate Responsiveness in a Single-Party Regime? Experimental Evidence from Vietnam
A growing body of evidence attests that legislators are sometimes responsive to the policy preferences of citizens in single-party regimes, yet debate surrounds the mechanisms driving this relationship. We experimentally test two potential responsiveness mechanisms-elections versus mandates from party leaders-by provisioning delegates to the Vietnamese National Assembly with information on the policy preferences of their constituents and remindin…
Impact and Return on Investment of the Take Kare Safe Space Program—A Harm Reduction Strategy Implemented in Sydney, Australia
Safe spaces are increasingly utilized to reduce alcohol-related harm, violence, crime and improve public safety in nightlife settings. This study aimed to determine the impact and return on investment of the Take Kare Safe Space (TKSS) program-a harm reduction program implemented to address alcohol-related violence and disorder in three locations in Sydney's night-time economy between 2014 and 2019. TKSS ambassadors provided support at static saf…
Testing Legislator Responsiveness to Citizens and Firms in Single-Party Regimes: A Field Experiment in the Vietnamese National Assembly
We investigate whether communicating constituents' preferences to legislators increases the responsiveness of delegates to the Vietnamese National Assembly (VNA). Using a randomized control trial, we assign legislators to three groups: (1) those briefed on the opinions of their provincial citizenry, (2) those presented with the preferences of local firms, and (3) those receiving only information on the Communist Party's objectives. Because voting…
The Effect of Sibship Size on Children’s Outcomes: Evidence from Vietnam
The Effect of Having Children on Women’s Marital Status: Evidence From Vietnam
In developing societies, women living without a husband face significant social-economic hardship. Previous evidence suggests that teenagers in Kenya are willing to get pregnant in hopes of marrying the father of their children. In this paper, we study the relationship between having children and women’s marriage outcomes more generally. Using the 2009 Vietnam Census data and twins as an instrument, we find that having more children reduces the p…
ELT lecturers’ experiences of a new research policy: Exploring emotion and academic identity
Do cardiometabolic, behavioural and socioeconomic factors explain the ‘healthy migrant effect’ in the UK? Linked mortality follow-up of South Asians compared with white Europeans in the Newcastle Hear…
BACKGROUND: Immigrants are sometimes found to have better health than locally born populations. We examined the mortality experience of South Asian origin and white European origin individuals living in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. METHODS: A linked 17-21 year mortality follow-up of a cross-sectional study of European (n=825) and South Asian (n=709) men and women, aged 25-74 years, recruited between 1993 and 1997. Poisson regression was used to estim…

The Impact of Recentralization on Public Services: A Difference-in-Differences Analysis of the Abolition of Elected Councils in Vietnam
Comparative political economy offers a wealth of hypotheses connecting decentralization to improved public service delivery. In recent years, influential formal and experimental work has begun to question the underlying theory and empirical analyses of previous findings. At the same time, many countries have grown dissatisfied with the results of their decentralization efforts and have begun to reverse them. Vietnam is particularly intriguing bec…
The Adverse Effects of Sunshine: A Field Experiment on Legislative Transparency in an Authoritarian Assembly
An influential literature has demonstrated that legislative transparency can improve the performance of parliamentarians in democracies. In a democracy, the incentive for improved performance is created by voters' responses to newly available information. Building on this work, donor projects have begun to export transparency interventions to authoritarian regimes under the assumption that nongovernmental organizations and the media can substitut…
Vietnam in 2010: Familiar Patterns and New Developments Ahead of the 11th Party Congress

Vietnamese Language Education in the United States
Vietnamese, like other immigrant languages, experiences decline in various forms from the time that its speakers first arrive in the US, a process that gathers pace in the second generation, and often leads to a near-complete loss of the language in the third generation. The article deals with the ways in which Vietnamese–Americans have attempted to keep their language alive using Vietnamese language schools and a variety of community initiatives…
