Digital innovation capability and sustainable performance in strategic emerging industries: The sequential mediation of knowledge absorption and knowledge diffusion within an innovation ecosystem
Against the backdrop of digital transformation and innovation ecosystems, strategic emerging industries increasingly rely on digital innovation capability to secure sustainable competitive advantage. Integrating the resource-based view and the knowledge-based view, this study proposes a dual-mediation model of “knowledge absorption→knowledge diffusion” to unpack how digital innovation capability drives firm sustainable performance through dynamic…
Bridging Self-Efficacy and Digital Competence: A Comprehensive Scoping Review of Teachers’ Readiness for the Digital Age
In the digital era, the incorporation of digital technology into educational settings has underscored the critical role of teachers’ digital competence. Concurrently, self-efficacy has emerged as a key contributor to this competence, attracting significant scholarly attention. This study conducts a scoping review of journal articles published in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2000 to April 2025, aiming to explore the main interactive rel…
We Only Care What You Do, Not Who You Are: Reexamining Human Rights and Public Support for War
Does the public apply a “double standard” for human rights abuses based on the perpetrator’s alliance status? Research shows that individuals are more supportive of military action against states that violate human rights. However, other studies claim that condemnations of violations are often contingent upon the strategic relationship with the perpetrators. In this paper, we bridge these different strands of literature by examining whether the e…
Do external threats increase bipartisanship in the United States? An experimental test in the shadow of China's rise
Do external threats increase American bipartisanship? We subject this question to an experimental test. Leveraging the Biden and Trump administrations’ similar characterization of the China threat, we exposed American respondents to real-world primes about security threats from China, while randomizing the messenger of such primes. We find that the threat primes—regardless of the partisan identity of their messenger—boosted Democrats’ and Republi…
Pride and Prejudice: The Dual Effects of “Wolf Warrior Diplomacy” on Domestic and International Audiences
China has shifted its foreign policy from careful diplomacy to “wolf warrior diplomacy” (WWD). I argue that WWD increases the Chinese public’s support for their government. However, foreign audiences are likely to view WWD as aggressive and threatening; as a result, WWD has dual effects, increased security for the regime at the domestic level and heightened tensions at the international level. To examine these hypotheses, I conducted preregistere…
Bipartisanship in the Shadow of China’s Rise: The Effect of External Threats on Internal Unity in the US Congress
In recent years, political analysts and media observers claim that taking a harder line against China has become one of the few remaining bipartisan issues left in a highly partisan US Congress. However, a closer look at China-related bills and resolutions reveals significant variation in the level of bipartisan support they receive. While some China-related legislation receives support from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, others are su…

Reneging on alliances: Experimental evidence
To what extent can democratic leaders mitigate the costs of reneging on alliance agreements? Previous research suggests that democratic leaders suffer from domestic backlash if they decide to renege on alliance treaties. However, less is known about whether and to what extent leaders can mitigate the domestic costs of reneging on alliance commitments. We study strategies leaders use to mitigate these costs. Specifically, we experimentally investi…
Hematologic and spirometric characteristics of Tajik and Kyrgyz highlanders in the Pamir Mountains
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we measured the hematologic and spirometric parameters of native Tajik and Kyrgyz highlanders in the Pamir Mountains to investigate adaptations to high altitude stressors. METHODS: ), red blood cell (RBC) counts, and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration were measured on Sarikoli Tajik (n = 80; 3100 m), Wakhi Tajik (n = 48; 3500 m), and Kyrgyz (n = 64; 3250 m) in comparison to lowland Uyghurs (n = 50; 1300 m). Spirometric param…
