The Ritual Logic of Gendered Rules for Solitary Burial: Ghost Marriage in North China
Ghost marriage is a critical ritual practice addressing the exclusion of unmarried deceased women from ancestor worship in traditional Chinese society. Based on fifteen ghost marriage cases collected during ethnographic fieldwork in Zhangjiakou, this article examines the ritual logic and social mechanisms underlying the practice of ghost marriage in rural North China. It argues that the primary function of ghost marriage is to restore the social …
User Needs and Preferences for Multimodal Interaction in Social Robots for Later-Life Support: An Exploratory Survey and Conceptual Five-Layer Architecture
Social robots hold promise for enhancing later-life support, but user needs and preferences for multimodal interaction modalities remain underexplored. This study explores awareness, willingness, perceived barriers, and modality–function associations across multiple interaction modalities among middle-aged and older adults, and proposes a conceptual five-layer architecture for design guidance. A questionnaire survey with 199 Chinese respondents (…
Motivation for birding tourism and its relationship with travel and twitching behaviour
Birding (birdwatching) is a fast-growing leisure activity that, when involving travel, becomes avitourism. This study develops and validates a comprehensive motivation scale for avitourism by integrating existing birding motivation research with tourism motivation frameworks, especially novelty seeking and learning. We developed a 39-item motivation scale (refined to 34 items) and collected data via an online survey (405 Chinese birders). Eight m…

A Two-Step Estimator for Growth Mixture Models with Covariates in the Presence of Direct Effects
Growth mixture models (GMMs) are popular approaches for modeling unobserved population heterogeneity over time. GMMs can be extended with covariates, predicting latent class (LC) membership, the within-class growth trajectories, or both. However, current estimators are sensitive to misspecifications in complex models. We propose extending the two-step estimator for LC models to GMMs, which provides robust estimation against model misspecification…

Moral absolutism drives support for bans: Unpacking ideological differences in the moral philosophies of conservatives and liberals
Recent polls suggest conservatives are more likely than liberals to support bans on politicized practices, even when both groups view the practice as similarly immoral (e.g., abortion opposition among pro-life conservatives vs. pro-life liberals). We propose a novel theory to explain this phenomenon based on people's moral philosophies. Nine studies found that conservatives tended to endorse moral absolutism, whereas liberals tend to endorse mora…

Global financial networks, municipal offshore financing and state-sponsored city-regional development
The municipal government in China has engaged deeply in offshore financing to lever local development projects. However, what is the role of the central government in this process? This paper answers this question by considering the central government’s dual role: as a stakeholder in city-regional development and as a financial regulator determining unequal access to financial markets among market actors. We argue that the Chinese central state h…
