Spontaneous Dedication in Making a Relationship: Exploring Manufactured Otherness in McDonaldized Intimacy with Generative AI
Otherness has long been central to intimate relationships, as relational meaning depends on encountering differences that cannot be fully reduced to the self. The increasing rationalization and homogenization of society witnesses the McDonaldization of otherness. However, little attention has been paid to how the rise of human-GenAI intimacy reshapes relational difference and otherness. This study brings McDonaldization to explain the structural …
Digital (dis-)engagement and individual autonomy on Chinese social media: The case of Xiaohongshu
As digital platforms become increasingly embedded in everyday life, users struggle to balance digital engagement with individual autonomy. Through thematic analysis of online posts and in-depth interviews with individuals who have uninstalled Xiaohongshu, a popular integrated social media platform in China, this research investigates the dynamics of digital disconnection using the theoretical framework of relational autonomy. Findings suggest tha…

Can shifting attention to accuracy reduce misinformation on social media? A replication and extension in China
The inattention-based theory of Pennycook et al. ( 2020 ) holds that because social media context focuses attention on factors other than accuracy the sharing of online misinformation is often unintentional. They provided evidence in the context of COVID-19 misinformation by conducting two survey experiments with more than 1700 U.S. participants. The present study replicates and expands on the original study of Pennycook et al. ( 2020 ) through r…
Between development and surveillance: Faculty perceptions and challenges of instructional coaching in an underdeveloped university context
Although instructional coaching has been increasingly adopted as a tool for faculty professional development in Chinese higher education, it often encounters resistance due to signals of authority, emotionally detached delivery, lack of sustained follow-up, and non-specific or generic feedback. This qualitative study was carried out to explore how faculty at a public university in Gansu Province perceive the instructional coaching. To achieve tha…
Hysteria in empathy: Understanding virtual companionship and emotional connection between humans and Al
Increasing numbers of people tend to seek relationships with artificial intelligence (AI) because of its comprehensive mastery of knowledge. This research reveals that ChatGPT has become a temporary refuge for individuals encountering real-life emotional crises. The communicative affordance of human–AI conversation is featured by logos-centrism, pursuing the identity of language and essence between humans and technology. Grounded in Lacanian disc…
Does Trust Affect Behavior in a Public Health Crisis? Testing an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior Model With Trust
Trust dynamics are known to impact an individual's compliance with information from different sources and their behaviors. It is helpful to explore the roles of trust in different entities in predicting people's behavioral intentions and behaviors in a mega‐crisis. With the initial stage of a public health crisis in China as its context, this study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior by incorporating trust in four key entities: the government,…

Effects of Carbonaceous Materials with Different Structures on Cadmium Fractions and Microecology in Cadmium-Contaminated Soils
Carbonaceous materials have proved to be effective in cadmium remediation, but their influences on soil microecology have not been studied well. Taking the structural differences and the maintenance of soil health as the entry point, we chose graphene (G), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and wetland plant-based biochar (ZBC) as natural and engineered carbonaceous materials to explore their effects on Cd fractions, nutrients, enzyme activi…
Testing the Mediating Effect of Need–Supply Fit on the Relationship Between Volunteer Management Practices and Volunteer Satisfaction in China
In recent years, volunteer management practices (VMPs) have attracted the attention of scholars. However, the mechanism by which VMPs affect volunteer satisfaction, an important antecedent of volunteer sustainability, remains poorly understood. This article examines one such mechanism, need–supply fit, through which VMPs influence volunteer satisfaction. Although need–supply fit has been verified as a mediating mechanism of human resource managem…
Transcriptome Profiles of Leaves and Roots of Goldenrain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm.) in Response to Cadmium Stress
Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a widespread environmental problem. In this study, we explored the transcriptome and biochemical responses of goldenrain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm.) leaves and roots to Cd stress. Leaf and root growth decreased substantially under Cd stress (50 mg/L CdCl2), but leaf and root antioxidant mechanisms were significantly activated. In RNA-seq analysis, roots treated with 25 mg/L CdCl2 featured enriched GO terms in ce…

What Influences Philanthropic Participation by Chinese Internal Immigrants: Research Based on the Perspective of Integration
Philanthropic participation is a stepping stone to integration for immigrants. However, the philanthropic participation behavior of Chinese internal immigrants, the largest immigrant group in the world, is not well understood. Data from the Special Survey on Social Integration and Mental Health of the Chinese Immigrant Population are employed to examine philanthropic participation among Chinese internal immigrants based on the perspective of inte…
Determinants of information retweeting in microblogging
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual model to investigate the determinants of information retweeting in microblogging based on Heuristic‐Systematic Model. Design/methodology/approach Microblogging data about emergency events from Sina microblogging ( http://weibo.com ) are collected and analyzed with text mining technology. The proposed hypotheses are tested with logistic and multiple linear regressions. Findings The resul…

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has attracted more and more attention in the biomedical field due to its ability to provide molecular fingerprint information of biological samples, as well as its potential in single-cell analysis. This work aims to establish a simple strategy for label-free SERS bioanalysis based on Au@carbon dot nanoprobes (Au@CDs). Here, polyphenol-derived CDs are utilized as the reductant to rapidly synthes…
