Sense of Control and Belonging
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the tourism and hospitality industries hard, posing health risks to consumers and vastly affecting their psychology and behavior. Drawing on protection motivation theory and self-determination theory, this study investigates hotel consumers’ brand preferences between strong brands and others during the crisis and the underlying mechanisms. In Study 1, questionnaires were collected online (based on the Credamo platfor…
Greater psychological distance, better creative-idea selection
This research underscores the importance of psychological distance and construal level in creative-idea selection. Increasing psychological distance can enhance individuals' ability to select more creative ideas by fostering higher-level construals. These findings offer practical implications for improving the creative selection processes in various contexts, suggesting that subtle cues (e.g., emphasizing future scenarios or abstract thinking) ca…
Does authenticity always breed mental health? A cross‐cultural comparison between the United States and China
Numerous studies on Western cultures have suggested a strong linkage between authenticity and mental health. However, little is known about whether such an association can be generalized to Eastern cultures. This study aimed to conduct a cross‐cultural comparison on the association between three dimensions of authenticity (authentic living, self‐alienation, and accepting external influence) and two factors of mental health (negative and positive)…
Do all roads lead to Rome? Authenticity, openness to experience, and risk-taking relate to general and malevolent creativity differently
Impact of value co‐creation in the artificial intelligence innovation ecosystem on competitive advantage and innovation intelligibility
Artificial intelligence has been widely adopted for digital transformation and value creation for enterprises. However, studies about how participants can co‐create value in the AI innovation ecosystem are needed. Thus, this research proposed a comprehensive research model to examine the impact of value co‐creation in the AI innovation ecosystem for competitive advantage and innovation intelligibility with the mediating effect of dynamic capabili…
Knowledge chain integration of design structure matrix‐based project team
Based on the project team's knowledge activities in the knowledge chain, we analyse the knowledge management, develop a design structure matrix (DSM) model, and utilize the AIDER clustering to solve the cooperation problems caused by team members from different departments. By analysing the coupling relationship between team members' knowledge chains and clustering the knowledge activities with a high coupling degree, the project team's knowledge…

Exploring the Spatiotemporal Evolution and Sustainable Driving Factors of Information Flow Network
The promotion of information flow reinforces the interactive cooperation and evolutionary process among cities. In the information age, public online search is a typical behavior of Internet society, which is the key to information flow generation and agglomeration. In this study, we attempt to explore the evolutionary characteristics of intercity networks driven by public online social behavior in the information age and construct an information…
Are emotionally intelligent people happier? A meta‐analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and subjective well‐being using Chinese samples
To assess an overall correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and subjective well‐being (SWB) within Chinese culture, accounting for possible moderating factors, we conducted a meta‐analysis of 119 correlations obtained from 62 studies with a total sample size of 29,922. The results uncovered a moderately positive correlation, r = .32, 95% CI [0.29, 0.36], p r = .49, and self‐report ability EI, r = .32, than when it was measured as perform…
A study on the cross level transformation from individual creativity to organizational creativity
Family socioeconomic status and Chinese high school students’ test anxiety
It is widely documented that students with lower family socioeconomic status (SES) tend to have higher test anxiety than their peers from higher SES families. However, few studies have empirically examined the underlying mechanism whereby family SES shapes students’ test anxiety. To bridge this gap, the present study proposed and tested a serial mediation model in which family SES is associated with students’ test anxiety through the indirect eff…
Smart factory in Industry 4.0
The transformation from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing intrigues the profound and lasting effect on the future manufacturing worldwide. Industry 4.0 was proposed for advancing manufacturing to realize short product life cycles and extreme mass customization in a cost‐efficient way. As the heart of Industry 4.0, smart factory integrates physical technologies and cyber technologies and makes the involved technologies more co…
Manufacturing upgrading in industry 4.0 era
Intelligent manufacturing system is considered as the key of industrial competitiveness, which has a far‐reaching impact on the enterprise development. This paper conducts an analysis of intelligent manufacturing in small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). The study provides insight on upgrading manufacturing SMEs in industry 4.0 era
The challenges and countermeasures of blockchain in finance and economics
As a new technology, blockchain can be used to analyse and process the data through the effective integration of financial resources. New financial formats or service models are produced to upgrade the financial system and promote the efficiency and quality of financial operations and service from three layers (data, rules, and application) based on customers' needs. The blockchain technology can help the financial industry to automatically and a…
Can Concept Mapping Facilitate Verbal Divergent Thinking
It is well established that creativity can be stimulated by expanding the breadth of knowledge activation. In addition, some researchers have proposed that concept mapping can stimulate individuals into more flexible thinking processes. Based on the literature, three studies were conducted in the present research to systematically investigate whether concept mapping as a way of knowledge activation can increase individual performance in a widely …
Adolescents' perceived parental psychological control and test anxiety
We examined the relationship between parental psychological control and their children's test anxiety in the Chinese cultural context, and tested the mediating role of the children's academic self-efficacy in this relationship. Chinese high-school students ( N = 401, 158 boys and 243 girls), aged between 15 and 18 years, completed a self-report survey assessing parental psychological control, academic self-efficacy, and test anxiety. The results …
