Physically and visually disabled persons in nursing-home based care face numerous challenges and are a vulnerable population subjected to environmental barriers and restrictions potentially leading to poor quality of…
Historically, personality traits have been viewed as highly stable and âset like plasterâ once people reach adulthood. Although decades of research have refuted this claim, it remains unclear how much personality…
The interplay between sleep, light exposure, and circadian rhythms is critical for health, yet it remains inadequately described in the everyday lives of parents with young infants. Prior work has focused mainly on…
Radical climate protests have been theorized to shape perceptions of moderate climate groups, a dynamic known as the radical flank effect (RFE). We examine this phenomenon through a longitudinal analysis of German media…
As humanoid robots and artificial intelligence technologies advance, people’s concerns about non-human entities becoming like or replacing humans are increasing. However, considering the prospect of coexistence with…
Children and youth face rising mental health challenges in an increasingly digital world. Universal Tier 1 digital mental health interventions (DMHIs)—low-intensity, high-reach supports for non-clinical populations—have…
Speaking remains a persistent challenge for Saudi EFL learners, as large classes, limited exposure, and speaking anxiety restrict opportunities for practice. This quasi-experimental study examined whether…
Peer relationships are closely linked to academic development, but the distinct roles of best friend (BF) and fixed peer groups (PGs) across developmental stages remain unclear. Clarifying these patterns is important for…
