This study utilizes longitudinal SHARE data to demonstrate that the impact of relying on a single confidant on loneliness among unpartnered older adults varies significantly based on the tie's identity (e.g., child vs. non-child kin) and whether that exclusive relationship persists or dissolves over time.
Based on data from 1,407 working women, this study reveals that traditional gender roles suppress childbearing decisions both directly and indirectly by intensifying work–family conflict, particularly stress and behavioral conflicts, thereby highlighting the need for gender-sensitive policies to address China's demographic challenges.
This cross-sectional study of 169 Grade 6 learners in a Philippine public school found a significant positive association between self-reported metacognitive awareness and science achievement, with perceived knowledge of cognition showing a stronger correlation to grades than perceived regulation of cognition.
This paper challenges Timothy Williamson's epistemic conception of vagueness by arguing that the apparent inability to know the boundaries of vague predicates stems not from a principled cognitive limitation but from instrumental deficits in tracking community norms, proposing instead that such indeterminacy is a contingent measurement issue resolvable through the Pragmatic Calibration Account.
This cross-sectional study of medical students at Gonabad University of Medical Sciences reveals that while higher digital literacy predicts greater AI tool acceptance, the relationship between digital self-efficacy and academic anxiety varies significantly by gender, showing a protective effect for males but a potential risk trend for females.
Drawing on qualitative fieldwork across Africa, this article argues that dynamic Indigenous Knowledge Systems serve as active epistemic resources for negotiating and reconfiguring contemporary African identities, thereby advancing the concept of epistemic sovereignty to address colonial legacies and foster epistemic justice.
This qualitative study of twenty public school teachers in Mpumalanga, South Africa, reveals a critical lack of digital professional development and skills, recommending that educators pursue higher education courses and that policymakers revise curricula to better support technology integration in the digital era.
This paper critiques the assumption that digitalization inherently improves occupational safety governance by introducing the "Digital Shadow Labor" framework, which demonstrates how Türkiye's algorithmic OHS system systematically excludes informal and migrant construction workers through four filtering gates, thereby transforming their invisibility into a constitutive feature of governance rather than a temporary deficit.
This paper describes the development and preliminary psychometric evaluation of the WILAP-VSTM-SA, a low-cost, physically administered test for visual short-term memory and selective attention, which demonstrated strong reliability and feasibility but requires further validation with larger, more diverse samples to establish full psychometric robustness.
Using a three-wave longitudinal study of multicultural adolescents in South Korea, this research demonstrates that social support from parents, peers, and teachers sequentially enhances life satisfaction by first fostering bicultural acceptance and subsequently improving perceived health, with parental support showing the strongest indirect effects.
