Empathetic language in AI travel services: The moderating effects of system adaptivity and AI disclosure on user intentions
This research investigates how empathetic language influences user engagement in AI-driven travel services, focusing on the roles of AI adaptivity and disclosure. Grounded in the Elaboration Likelihood Model, two experimental studies demonstrate that empathetic language enhances user intentions when AI adaptivity is low; and that cognitive empathy is more persuasive than affective empathy when AI is disclosed. These findings challenge the belief …
The Association Between Adolescent Mental Health Symptoms and Characteristics of Cigarette and E-Cigarette Use
INTRODUCTION: While there is a bi-directional relationship between internalizing mental health (IMH) symptoms (i.e., symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety) and nicotine use, it is unclear how IMH relates to patterns of use. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively examine the relationship between IMH symptoms and indicators of nicotine dependence, quit intentions, and quit attempts among adolescents who use cigarettes and/or e-cigaret…
Leveraging an AI chatbot to support socially shared regulation in collaborative project-based learning
Hope in the Face of Adversity
The rising sun is a recurring symbol in Handel’s oratorios, commonly associated with hope, renewal, and triumph over darkness. Yet depictions of sunrise in these works are far from uniform, and closer examination reveals that the color of the morning sky has greater significance than has been acknowledged. In Theodora and Samson, “rosy” and “cloudy red” mornings are mentioned ahead of looming crises: Irene, in Theodora (part 1), sings “As with ro…

AI chatbot design principles to enhance the collective efficacy in collaborative learning
To support effective collaborative learning, it is essential to enhance collective efficacy and provide timely, tailored feedback throughout the learning process. However, it is often difficult for a single instructor to monitor multiple groups and deliver feedback that meets the specific needs of each team in real time. This study aims to develop and validate a systematic design for an AI chatbot that enhances collective efficacy in collaborativ…
The Path From Tourist Mindfulness to Storytelling: A Meaning‐Making Perspective
Despite the significant meaning‐making role of mindfulness in the tourist experience and storytelling as a powerful value generator for tourism services, limited research has been devoted to investigating the impact of mindfulness on tourists' storytelling behavior. Based on the Mindfulness‐to‐Meaning Theory (MMT), this study empirically tests the relationships among mindfulness, place authenticity, tourist engagement, and storytelling. PLS‐SEM m…
An enhanced framework for data-based environmental impact assessment in reflection of public input
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a globally recognized tool for proactively managing dynamic development projects by identifying, predicting, and analyzing their environmental impact and proposing preventative measures. However, public participation in EIA often remains one-directional and limited to procedural hearings. To address this, a technology-driven framework enhances public involvement in EIA procedures. EIA-related newspaper art…
Prospective memory difficulties in adults aged 60 and above with subjective memory complaints
Objectives Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) refer to individuals’ self-reported memory problems in the absence of objective evidence. Subjective memory complaint has been recognized as an early indicator of the future development of dementia. Although neuropsychological evaluations for dementia typically focus on retrospective memory, SMC can manifest in both retrospective and prospective memories (PMs). Considering that impairments in PM refl…

“Do all bisexuals have this power?”: An exploratory study of “crippling nicotine addiction,” identity, and other emergent themes in vaping messages on QueerTok
Nicotine and tobacco use disproportionally affect sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations in the US. Social media narratives may contribute to these disparities. This qualitative study delineated perceptions and experiences depicted in SGM-related messaging about nicotine vaping on TikTok. Young adult researchers engaged in every step of the research process, adding an insider perspective. Using four TikTok accounts, we used vaping and SGM-r…
Unraveling the enigma: Housekeeping gene Ugt1a7c as a universal biomarker for microglia
We propose employing UGT1A7C as the representative biomarker for microglia, irrespective of their developmental state, age, or activation status. Using UGT1A7C can reduce the requirement for using multiple biomarkers, enhance the precision of microglia analysis, and even be utilized as a standard for gene/protein expression

From Milton to Hamilton and Handel
In Handel’s oratorio Samson (1742), the aria “Total eclipse” compares Samson’s blindness, inflicted by the enemy’s gouging out of his eyes, to darkness during the total solar eclipse. The librettist Newburgh Hamilton drew the astronomical metaphor as well as the majority of his text for the oratorio from John Milton’s closet drama Samson Agonistes (1671). With respect to scientific knowledge on the eclipses, however, the two works are from very d…

Heated tobacco products likely appeal to adolescents and young adults
PMI's own data and available evidence from scientific studies conducted independent of the tobacco industry regarding how novel tobacco products are currently being marketed suggest that introduction of IQOS will result in adolescent and young adult non-users initiating tobacco use with IQOS and could also increase poly-use of IQOS along with other tobacco products
Iqos labelling will mislead consumers
Consumers will not understand the condition of the claims-that they must quit using cigarettes completely to achieve the inferred health benefits of IQOS. Rather, they are likely to misunderstand the unsupported claims of reduced risks to mean IQOS are harm-free

Priming social media and framing cause-related marketing to promote sustainable hotel choice
Hotels utilize cause-related marketing (CRM) to attract consumers by advertising green practices. However, CRM does not always result in the intended outcomes. In online settings, customer-generated cues transmitted through social media can influence responses to company-generated CRM. Two psychological processes can operate to influence the effect of online cues on decision processes: priming and framing. The current research used an online surv…

Using Peer Crowd Affiliation to Address Dual Use of Cigarettes and E-Cigarettes among San Francisco Bay Area Young Adults: A Cross Sectional Study
Given the emerging tobacco landscape, dual use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes has increased among young adults, but little is known about its associated factors. Peer crowds, defined as macro-level connections between individuals with similar core values (e.g., "Hip Hop" describing a group that prefers hip hop music and values strength, honor, and respect), are a promising way to understand tobacco use patterns. We examined associations between p…
Unboxed: US Young Adult Tobacco Users’ Responses to a New Heated Tobacco Product
The heated tobacco product (HTP) IQOS was authorized for sale in the US in 2019. We investigated how young adults with experience using multiple tobacco products reacted to, perceived, and developed interest in IQOS, informing policies that might prevent HTPs from becoming ubiquitous. We used a novel qualitative method in which 33 young adult tobacco users in California (fall 2019) "unboxed" an IQOS device, tobacco sticks, and marketing materials…
Peer crowd-based targeting in E-cigarette advertisements: A qualitative study to inform counter-marketing
Peer crowd and lifestyle cues, age and device type are all salient features of e-cigarette advertising for young adults. Similarly, educational campaigns about e-cigarettes should employ peer crowd-based targeting to engage young adults, though messages should be carefully tested to ensure authentic and realistic portrayals
The Effects of Orthodontic Brackets on the Time and Accuracy of Digital Impression Taking
