  • Beyond geography

    Open AccessYike Zhang, Qiulin Huang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Infrastructure Policy…2026

    Cross-regional healthcare-seeking, defined as utilizing medical services beyond one’s residential area, helps mitigate geographic disparities in health resources but may correlate with elevated financial burdens. As this practice grows in China, particularly in resource-diverse provinces like Shandong, its relationship with hospitalization costs remains insufficiently quantified. This study aims to measure the association between cross-regional c…

  • Lay beliefs about social class and rationality

    Open AccessYan Wang, Yuxin Zhang et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2025

    Human behavior arises from the interplay between deliberation and intuition, yet laypersons often perceive rationality and emotion as antagonistic forces shaping these actions. This research investigates the tendency to use social class as a cue for inferring reliance on rationality versus emotion. Across seven studies, we consistently observed that people attribute greater rationality to upper-class individuals compared to lower-class counterpar…
