Construction and Measurement of an Indicator System for the Citizenization Capability of New-Generation Migrant Workers

This study constructs a three-dimensional indicator system to evaluate the citizenization capability of China's new-generation migrant workers using 2012–2021 survey data, revealing a fluctuating temporal trend, a structural gap where psychological adaptation outperforms economic transition, and a spatial decline from east to west, ultimately attributing these patterns to institutional and human capital constraints and proposing targeted policy reforms.

Quantifying Inside-Out acting: facial action units and silence duration as markers of interior performance

This study provides quantitative evidence that "Inside-Out" acting techniques can be distinguished from control conditions by specific increases in facial Action Units 12 and 14 and longer silence durations, thereby offering an existence proof for the operationalization of this performance approach despite the lack of universal markers across all contexts.
