Advancing textbook evaluation with debiased machine learning: A theoretical and empirical approach
Introduction Textbooks can substantially influence student achievement, but common evaluation approaches (e.g., linear regression) often depend on strong functional-form assumptions that may misstate causal effects. This study presents Double/Debiased Machine Learning (DML) as a more flexible framework for estimating the causal impact of textbooks on learning outcomes. Methods We use DML to estimate textbook effects while allowing high-dimensiona…
Swipe right on AI: Understanding psychological profiles behind chatbot love
The emergence of AI chatbots capable of simulating intimate interactions has created new forms of romantic engagement. This study investigates the psychological profiles that predict individuals’ likelihood of forming romantic connections with AI chatbots. A sample of 650 participants completed measures of the Big Five personality traits and two distinct dimensions of loneliness—emotional and social loneliness. Using latent profile analysis (LPA)…
Promoting Transboundary Water Cooperation Under Scarcity: The Role of Intergovernmental Regulatory Costs and Measures
A framework for urban planning of rapidly urbanized cities from the perspective of functional zoning
Integrating functional zoning based on ecosystem service (ES) supply–demand into urban planning has received little attention. Therefore, a novel framework for urban planning in rapidly urbanized cities from the functional zoning perspective is presented. Here, urban functional zones are first delineated based on the ES supply–demand. Then, key urban functional zones are designated as restricted development zones to simulate land use structures u…
Revealing the dynamic biological flow between eastern and western China from the perspective of ecological network
Political orientation and Covid-19 policy preferences during the early pandemic: A comparative analysis of China and South Korea
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge to governments and societies worldwide, highlighting the complex relationship between state policies and public acceptance during crises. This study examines how regime types, political tendencies, and social culture influence citizen's preferences for epidemic prevention policies in China and South Korea. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional online survey was operated in May …
Trained AI as “Experiment Participants”: Theory and practice
This study introduces an innovative methodology that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) to replace the functional roles of experimental participants, addressing key challenges in behavioral economics and economic psychology. Traditional experiments often face logistical difficulties, such as the high cost of recruiting large-scale participants and the inability to model idealized experimental conditions. By leveraging AI, we create functional b…
Leeks help leeks: A study of peer assistance, performance pressure, and mental well-being in Chinese academia
Tracing spatial variations in ecological and economic benefits to support basic dimensions of wellbeing during urban expansion
Cities exist to support the multidimensional wellbeing of their residents. However, urban expansion has been accompanied by a rapid increase in economic benefits (EBs) and a decline in ecosystem services (ESs), both of which are essential for achieving multidimensional human wellbeing. Most existing studies have focused on regional-level changes in EBs and ESs due to the lack of reliable methods for spatially mapping the distribution of EBs. Howe…

A Study of the Features of Confucianism: Secularization, Maximal Morality and Minimal Enlightenment
China’s political, social and cultural environment has a whole system; it is mainly shaped by Confucian culture and the whole system determines the development direction of Confucianism too. According to the sociocultural perspective, we must confirm that the way of thinking and behavior of people have been shaped by their culture, it’s the same for China. This essay will explore the main aspects of Confucianism and analyses the influence that Co…
Names and individual differences: A systematic review
Belief of nonexistent inherent relationship and its impact on decisions
A minute makes a difference: Apply countdown timers to cognitive well-being surveys
This paper implemented the use of countdown timers in online subjective well-being (SWB) surveys via an online experiment. The study involved 600 US residents who were equally divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Both groups were posed with the same question, "All things considered; how do you rate your own life satisfaction?" However, the experimental group was subjected to a 1-minute countdown timer before submitt…
Urban ecosystem services supply-demand assessment from the perspective of the water-energy-food nexus
A framework for human-computer interactive street network design based on a multi-stage deep learning approach
Ecological redlines provide a mechanism to maximize conservation gains in Mainland Southeast Asia
Developing effective targets for conservation remains a topic of global debate. Ambitious targets for 50% or more of the Earth's land surface have been proposed, yet balancing human needs with area-based conservation measures remains challenging. Current global conservation targets focus on biodiversity conservation, ignoring ecosystem services and vulnerabilities. Using China's ecological conservation redline as a basis, here we put forward a fr…
Incorporating Planning Intelligence into Deep Learning: A Planning Support Tool for Street Network Design
Deep learning applications in shaping ad hoc planning proposals are limited by the difficulty of integrating professional knowledge about cities with artificial intelligence. We propose a novel, complementary use of deep neural networks and planning guidance to automate street network generation that can be context-aware, learning-based, and user-guided. The model tests suggest that the incorporation of planning knowledge (e.g., road junctions an…
Recidivism Among Justice-Involved Youth: Findings From JJ-TRIALS
Recidivism, and the factors related to it, remains a highly significant concern among juvenile justice researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. Recent studies highlight the need to examine multiple measures of recidivism as well as conduct multilevel analyses of this phenomenon. Using data collected in a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded Juvenile Justice-Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal Syste…
Standardization of Exchanged Water with Different Properties in China’s Water Rights Trading
Water rights trading is an effective way to optimize the allocation of water resources. However, the existing practice of water rights trading in China lacks any consideration of the practical value of the exchanged water. This deficiency may lead to disputes between transferor and transferee during the implementation of the water rights trading contract. This paper puts forward the concept of Standard Water (SW). First, getting the original valu…
Individual Differences in the Acquisition of a Complex L2 Phonology: A Training Study
Many learners of a foreign language (L2) struggle to correctly pronounce newly learned speech sounds, yet many others achieve this with apparent ease. Here we explored how a training study of learning complex consonant clusters at the very onset of L2 acquisition can inform us about L2 learning in general and individual differences in particular. To this end, adult Dutch native speakers were trained on Slovak words with complex consonant clusters…
