Dietary diversity and the triple burden of malnutrition among children aged 6–23 months in 62 low- and middle-income countries
Background: The 2021 World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund definition of minimum dietary diversity (MDD) includes breast milk as an eighth food group. However, cross-country evidence under this revised definition remains limited. We estimated MDD achievement among children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and examined its associations with anaemia, stunting, underweight, and overweight/obesity (OWOB). Methods: We…

Semi-Supervised AI for Architectural Heritage Classification and Style Lineage Discovery in Chinese Traditional Settlements
Large-scale classification of architectural styles in Chinese traditional settlements is important for heritage conservation and geospatial documentation, but scalable deployment remains constrained by the high cost of expert annotation because villages are widely distributed, the imagery is captured from heterogeneous viewpoints, and each architectural tradition exhibits substantial intra-class variation. To address this bottleneck, we propose C…
The evolution of 4-2-1 family structure in China
The 4-2-1 family structure has become more prevalent with the rise of only-child families, yet it remains understudied. Using 2020 census data, probability theory, and life table methods, this paper constructs multistate family structure tables to analyse the survival probabilities, expected durations, and elapsed durations of the 4-2-1 family and its 29 evolved configurations over the family life cycle. We identify 13 family structures with high…

Gender inequality and cultural values in explaining gender differences in positive and negative emotions
The coronavirus pandemic posed a major challenge to mental health. Existing evidence shows that COVID-19 is related to poor emotional well-being, particularly among women. However, most work on the subject uses single-country samples, limiting the ability to generalize the disparity or explain it as a function of societal variables. The present study investigates the expression of positive and negative emotions during the pandemic as a function o…

Impact of Covid-19 on the psychological and behavioral health of college students worldwide
The outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the psychological and behavioral health of college students. However, few studies have systematically explored the relationship between COVID-19 and psychological and behavioral health among college students worldwide. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the impact of COVID-19 on college students’ psychological and behavioral health using a knowledge-mapping approach. In total, …
The determinants of Covid-19 case reporting across Africa
Background: According to study on the under-estimation of COVID-19 cases in African countries, the average daily case reporting rate was only 5.37% in the initial phase of the outbreak when there was little or no control measures. In this work, we aimed to identify the determinants of the case reporting and classify the African countries using the case reporting rates and the significant determinants. Methods: We used the COVID-19 daily case repo…
Reducing family and school-based violence at scale

Intentions to be Vaccinated Against Covid-19
Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to inform policy decisions and plan vaccination campaigns. The aims of this research were to: (1) explore the individual- and country-level determinants of intentions to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, and (2) examine worldwide variation in vaccination intentions. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted during the first wave of the pandemic, involving 6697 responden…
Impact of National Pandemic Lockdowns on Perceived Threat of Immigrants
Xenophobia and anti-immigrant attacks rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet this may not be solely due to the disease threat. According to theories of frustration and scapegoating, situational obstructions and deprivation can motivate prejudice against outgroups. Using a global natural quasi-experimental design, this study tests whether the restrictiveness of national lockdowns can explain higher individual-level perceptions of immigrant threat.…
“Before I was like a Tarzan. But now, I take a pause”
This feasibility study is one of the few studies in Southeast Asia that examined the feasibility and initial program impact of a parenting program delivered by government staff to families with children across the developmental spectrum from birth to 17 years. Promising results suggest that the program may reduce child maltreatment across a range of child ages. Findings also indicate areas for program improvement prior to further delivery and tes…
Pandemic boredom
Some public officials have expressed concern that policies mandating collective public health behaviors (e.g., national/regional "lockdown") may result in behavioral fatigue that ultimately renders such policies ineffective. Boredom, specifically, has been singled out as one potential risk factor for noncompliance. We examined whether there was empirical evidence to support this concern during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large cross-national sampl…
Integrating intimate partner violence prevention content into a digital parenting chatbot intervention during Covid-19

Identifying important individual‐ and country‐level predictors of conspiracy theorizing
Psychological research on the predictors of conspiracy theorizing—explaining important social and political events or circumstances as secret plots by malevolent groups—has flourished in recent years. However, research has typically examined only a small number of predictors in one, or a small number of, national contexts. Such approaches make it difficult to examine the relative importance of predictors, and risk overlooking some potentially rel…
Valuing the effect of Capital goes to countryside on cropland abandonment
We are all in the same boat’
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis. Consequently, many countries have adopted restrictive measures that caused a substantial change in society. Within this framework, it is reasonable to suppose that a sentiment of societal discontent, defined as generalized concern about the precarious state of society, has arisen. Literature shows that collectively experienced situations can motivate people to hel…

This study assessed the impact of different types of intergenerational support and medical expenditures on depression among older adults in rural China. Method: A three-phase balanced panel was constructed based on data from …
Lockdown Lives
We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020. The results demonstrated that although online contacts help to reduce feelings of loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely to use that strategy. Solidarity played only a small role in s…
