A 2026 cross-sectional study in Greece reveals that while approximately half of young adults support a social media ban for children under 15, the majority express skepticism about its effectiveness without supplementary measures and emphasize the critical need for government transparency, digital literacy, and enhanced regulatory oversight.
This mixed-methods study demonstrates that in metaverse-based EFL virtual exchanges, metacognitive scaffolding functions as a critical repair mechanism that enables learners to transform platform-induced disruptions into regulated collaborative actions, thereby sustaining communication and intercultural learning despite technological instability.
This study finds that high exposure to climate news in the UK is associated with a reduced likelihood of having a first child, but this effect is observed only among individuals with strong pro-environmental attitudes, suggesting that media-driven climate narratives influence fertility decisions through moral and emotional mechanisms rather than political identity or perceived long-term risk.
Through a comparative qualitative analysis of 40 experts from Turkey and Lithuania, this study reveals that sustainable forest-based recreation requires multidimensional, country-specific strategies addressing distinct local challenges—such as governance and waste in Turkey versus ecological fragmentation and funding in Lithuania—while leveraging digital tools to inform a dynamic, multi-actor conceptual framework.
This study validates the Persian version of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS-P) in a large Iranian sample, demonstrating its robust reliability, four-factor structure, measurement invariance across genders, and strong convergent and discriminant validity for assessing eco-anxiety in Persian-speaking populations.
This paper utilizes qualitative case studies in Karnataka, India, to demonstrate how agri-social entrepreneurship drives inclusive and sustainable rural development by creating employment, supporting farmers, and promoting environmental stewardship.
This mixed-methods study of 120 graduate engineering critiques reveals that while generative AI significantly improves surface-level writing scores, it risks distorting assessment validity by masking reduced methodological specificity and fostering cognitive offloading, thereby challenging the accurate measurement of disciplinary reasoning.
This cross-country study of 1,356 nurses in China, Pakistan, and Italy reveals that authoritarian supervision negatively impacts solidarity behavior by increasing role ambiguity, a relationship that is partially mitigated by religiosity.
This study examines the ethical complexities and systemic tensions faced by university teachers and students in Nepal's education discipline regarding GenAI use, highlighting how the absence of institutional guidelines creates confusion over authorship and transparency while offering insights for developing supportive national and institutional policies.
Using data from five European countries, this study finds that while over half of young adults not planning children cite concerns for a future child's well-being as a primary reason, the motivations behind climate-related fertility intentions vary significantly by demographic factors and personal exposure to climate hazards, distinguishing between altruistic worries about a child's future and ethical concerns about the environmental impact of having children.
