Evaluating public health campaigns on health promotion, substance use prevention and physical activity
Public health campaigns on substance use and physical activity aid disease prevention. This review examines how process evaluations are conducted in substance use and physical activity campaigns, focusing on methodologies, theoretical frameworks, implementation quality, fidelity, reach, and delivery. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubM…
Lagged predictors of psychological capital in junior high school students
Psychological capital (PsyCap)—a higher-order construct comprising hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism—is increasingly studied in educational settings, yet its antecedents remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify longitudinal psychosocial predictors of PsyCap in adolescents using a machine learning framework. We analyzed data from 283 Italian junior high school students (aged ~12–13) who completed validated self-report measure…

Openness to Experience Predicts Engagement in Role-Play
Background Role-play, or the transient embodiment of a different role from one’s own, is a uniquely human activity that permeates many aspects of life. However, what psychosocial factors is one’s involvement in role-play associated with? Current role-play research tends to focus on limited variables and is partially marred by negative perception towards role-play in the context of online gaming. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that role-play has po…
Culture, sex and social context influence brain-to-brain synchrony
Main findings indicate lowered brain-to-brain synchrony during role-playing activities that is moderated by the dyad's sex make-up and culture, implying differential processing of social interactions that is also influenced by individuals' background factors. Findings align with current literature that role-playing is a cognitively demanding activity requiring greater levels of self-regulation and suppression of self-related cognition as opposed …

Predictors of Contemporary under-5 Child Mortality in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Child Mortality (CM) is a worldwide concern, annually affecting as many as 6.81% children in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). We used data of the Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS) (N = 275,160) from 27 LMIC and a machine-learning approach to rank 37 distal causes of CM and identify the top 10 causes in terms of predictive potency. Based on the top 10 causes, we identified households with improved conditions. We retrospectively val…
Children with Developmental Disabilities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Little is known about parenting in the context of developmental disabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), penalized by both lack of data and a research bias toward western societies. In this study, we apply data mining methods on a large (N = 25,048) dataset from UNICEF to highlight patterns of association between developmental disabilities of children and parental involvement. We focus on the co-presence of multiple disabilities a…
