In recent years, alongside observations that educational disparities between urban and rural areas in China are gradually diminishing, the involvement and supportive role of fathers in preschool children's education have garnered increasing attention. Therefore, this study surveyed the fathers of 1218 preschool children using the Parent Expectations Scale (PES), the Chinese Preschool Children's Parent Involvement and Support Scale (CPISSPC), and the Preschool Behavior and Emotion Rating Scale (Pre-BERS). The findings are as follows: (1) Paternal expectations significantly predicted their involvement and support levels, and influenced preschool children's social-emotional competence. Furthermore, paternal involvement and support levels also significantly predicted preschool children's social-emotional competence. (2) In rural areas, paternal involvement and support fully mediated the relationship between expectations and children's social-emotional competence; whereas in urban settings, they only partially mediated this relationship. Findings suggest that providing fathers with necessary educational guidance to promote active involvement can serve as an effective intervention strategy for enhancing children's social-emotional competence.

Despite the rapid integration of AI-powered services into e-retailing, many firms continue to face challenges in meeting customer expectations and sustaining long-term usage. Addressing this issue, the present study investigates the determinants of customers' continuance usage intention by developing and empirically testing an extended Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM). A snowball non-probability sampling method was employed to collect data from 542 Vietnamese e-retail customers, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to validate the research model and examine the proposed relationships. The findings reveal a sequential mechanism in which AI-powered service quality significantly enhances customer experience (O = 0.770, p < 0.001), perceived usefulness (O = 0.161, p < 0.001), and perceived problem-solving ability (O = 0.695, p < 0.001). These cognitive and experiential evaluations subsequently strengthen expectation confirmation and customer satisfaction. Notably, customer satisfaction and perceived usefulness emerge as the strongest predictors of continuance usage intention (O = 0.371 and O = 0.279, respectively; p < 0.001), with customer experience playing a central role in this process. This research extends the ECM by integrating AI service performance, multi-dimensional customer experience (encompassing hedonic aspects such as enjoyment and engagement, as well as recognition aspects such as feeling valued and understood), and perceived problem-solving ability into a unified framework tailored for the e-retailing context. The findings highlight an important managerial implication: sustaining users' continued engagement with AI-powered services requires simultaneous investment in both technical performance and the quality of the customer experience and satisfaction these systems generate.
尽管人工智能支持的服务迅速整合到电子零售中，但许多公司在满足客户期望和保持长期使用方面仍然面临挑战。针对这一问题，本研究通过开发和实证检验一个扩展的期望-确认模型（ECM）来调查顾客继续使用意愿的决定因素。采用滚雪球非概率抽样方法对542名越南电子零售客户进行数据收集，并采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对研究模型进行验证，并检验所提出的关系。研究结果揭示了人工智能驱动的服务质量显著提高客户体验（O = 0.770, p < 0.001）、感知有用性（O = 0.161, p < 0.001）和感知解决问题能力（O = 0.695, p < 0.001）的顺序机制。这些认知和经验评价随后加强了期望确认和客户满意度。值得注意的是，客户满意度和感知有用性成为持续使用意愿的最强预测因子（分别为O = 0.371和O = 0.279; p < 0.001），客户体验在这一过程中起着核心作用。本研究通过将人工智能服务绩效、多维度客户体验（包括享乐方面，如享受和参与，以及认可方面，如感觉被重视和理解）和感知的解决问题能力整合到一个为电子零售环境量身定制的统一框架中，扩展了ECM。研究结果强调了一个重要的管理含义：维持用户对人工智能服务的持续参与需要同时在技术性能和客户体验质量以及这些系统产生的满意度方面进行投资。

This study aimed to compare the 9-month efficacy and safety of paliperidone palmitate 1-monthly injection (PP1M) versus oral paliperidone extended-release (ER) tablets in patients with stable schizophrenia (SCZ). A single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted, enrolling 119 adult outpatients (mean age 46.03 years) diagnosed with SCZ (DSM-5 criteria), randomized to PP1M (n = 60) or ER (n = 59). The primary outcome was change in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, with secondary outcomes including Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGIS) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) scores. No statistically significant differences in PANSS total score improvements were observed between groups at 3, 6, and 9 months (P > 0.05). PP1M demonstrated transient superiority in CGI-S reduction at 3 and 6 months (mean difference: −0.31 and − 0.45, respectively; P < 0.05), but this difference dissipated by month 9. No significant differences in tolerability, as measured by TESS scores, were found between groups, with no significant differences in adverse events across follow-up periods. PP1M showed numerically greater (though nonsignificant) improvements in negative symptoms, suggesting potential subtle benefits. In conclusion, this study did not detect significant differences in long-term efficacy or safety between PP1M and ER in stable SCZ patients. While PP1M provided early CGI-S advantages likely attributable to adherence optimization, no inherent pharmacodynamic superiority was observed. These findings support PP1M as a pragmatic option for adherence-challenged patients, emphasizing individualized treatment selection based on preferences and feasibility.

Olfactory social communication shapes emotional bonding, social cognition, and survival behaviors across mammals. In humans, body-odor–based social chemosignals contribute uniquely to interpersonal recognition and affective communication. However, atypical processing of social odors may disrupt early attachment formation and oxytocin-mediated socio-emotional development. Here, we review behavioral and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying social odor perception with a specific focus on maternal–infant bonding and its modulation by oxytocin pathways. Integrating evidence from humans and animal models, we propose that early disruptions in social chemosignaling may contribute to atypical developmental trajectories relevant to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We also outline a mechanistic framework and future research directions aimed at leveraging social odor processing for translational advances in ASD.

Understanding feedback is critical for students to cope with the complexities of multilingual development and transfer across languages. While it is crucial that students possess feedback literacy (FL) as a tool for engagement growth in writing, little is known about the predictive relationships between L1 FL, L2 FL, and L3 FL and the relationship between them and feedback engagement (FE). Therefore, this study aimed to address these identified research gaps. Data was collected using a questionnaire from 262 Chinese higher education students who majored in French-English language dual programs. Data was analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS. The results revealed that L1 FL predicted L2 FL, but it did not predict L3 FL. The study also found that L2 FL predicted L3 FL. Furthermore, it was found that L1 FL and L2 FL did not predict FE, whereas L3 FL did. Students' ability to understand feedback and its application mediated their participation and FE in learning, rather than being completely determined by FL established in their L1 and L2. This difference highlighted that L3 FL, on its own, might specifically influence how engaged students were in their learning.

This study investigates the roles of mindfulness and motivated behavior in relation to L2 achievement among intermediate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, with a focus on the mediating role of self-regulation. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, we combined quantitative assessments with qualitative insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of these relationships. A total of 347 intermediate EFL learners participated in the study, which included administering validated self-report scales and a modified IELTS proficiency test. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the direct and indirect associations of mindfulness, self-regulation, and motivated behavior with L2 achievement. The quantitative results indicated that mindfulness and motivated behavior were significant predictors of L2 achievement, both directly and indirectly through self-regulation. Qualitative findings from in-depth interviews and focus groups further illuminated the mechanisms through which mindfulness and motivated behavior may support language learning, emphasizing the importance of self-regulation in this process. This study contributes to the literature by elucidating the interplay between these psychological factors and their relationship with L2 achievement, offering valuable insights for both educators and learners in the field of language pedagogy.

Purpose
This study explored the relationships between autistic traits and cognitive functioning across the lifespan in the general population.
Methods
Young (19–39 years old, N = 38), middle-aged (40–57 years old, N = 40), and older adults (60–80 years old, N = 39) underwent performance-based assessments (e.g., verbal short-term and working memory, episodic memory, processing speed, executive functions) and completed self-reported measures (self-reported executive functioning), which are commonly studied in the context of autistic traits and aging. A self-reported questionnaire of anxiety and depression was also included to explore relationships among all self-reported measures.
Results
Findings showed that autistic traits, measured continuously using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) were negatively associated with age. Higher levels of autistic traits were associated with lower performance specifically in verbal short-term and working memory, with no significant associations found in other cognitive functions. These effects were consistent across all age groups. Interestingly, while elevated autistic traits were linked to more self-reported executive difficulties in young and middle-aged adults, no such relationship was observed in older adults. These findings suggest that the association between autistic traits and perceived executive function is weaker at older age, possibly due to older adults' lower and less correlated self-reported scores, while younger groups may exhibit a stronger tendency toward negative self-assessment rather than a specific direct link between autistic traits and perceived executive function.
Conclusion
Overall, the study highlights the complex relationships between autistic traits and cognition across the lifespan, suggesting the need for further research with larger, more diverse samples to clarify these associations.

The investigation on enhancing the attractiveness of music festivals and sustainable consumption is an important subject in the development of the leisure tourism market. It is necessary to pay close attention to the push-pull motivational factors influencing consumers' emotional connection and behavioral intentions towards a music festival product. Using the Xi'an International Music Festival as a research case (n = 324), data were collected from December 12 to 26, 2023. The results revealed that seven dimensions (arousal, pleasure, well-being, learning, escapism, socializing, and relaxation) and six dimensions (atmosphere of music concerts, reputation of the music festival, fullness of music culture, staff service, accessibility, and infrastructure) could be the important push and pull factors in the music festival consumption. Based on the push-pull theory and complexity theory, this study used SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 to examine the linear relationships among constructs. Furthermore, fsQCA 4.1 software was employed to explore the net effects from push-pull factors to music festival attractiveness and approach behaviors, and identified causal recipes for predicting different levels of music festival attractiveness and approach behaviors, with the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Research findings provided essential theoretic and managerial implications on how to satisfy tourists' needs, perceived attractiveness and approach behaviors towards the music festival products.

This study examines how CEO personality traits influence IPO risk disclosure quality. We employ a novel multimodal deep learning approach to measure CEO personality traits using audio-visual data from IPO roadshow presentations. Our methodology integrates visual and audio data to capture both verbal and non-verbal behavioral cues, providing a more comprehensive assessment of personality traits than traditional single-modal approaches. Using a manually collected dataset of 866 IPO firms from China's ChiNext and STAR Markets between 2019 and 2024, we find that openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion are positively associated with risk disclosure quality, while agreeableness and neuroticism show negative associations. These relationships are moderated by underwriter reputation, particularly strengthening the positive effects of openness and conscientiousness. This study contributes to the literature by introducing a novel methodological approach to measuring CEO personality traits through multimodal deep learning analysis, extending our understanding of IPO risk disclosure determinants, and demonstrating the effectiveness of multimodal data analysis in organizational research.

We employ a novel multimodal deep learning approach to measure CEO personality traits using audio-visual data from IPO roadshow presentations. Our methodology integrates visual and audio data to capture both verbal and non-verbal behavioral cues, providing a more comprehensive assessment of personality traits than traditional single-modal approaches. Using a manually collected dataset of 866 IPO firms from China's ChiNext and STAR Markets between 2019 and 2024, we find that openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion are positively associated with risk disclosure quality, while agreeableness and neuroticism show negative associations.

The deployment of autonomous delivery vehicles (ADVs) is undergoing unprecedented expansion in China, fueled by escalating investments from online retail and logistics enterprises. Despite the multifacted benefits of ADVs, i.e. enhanced delivery efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability, academic inquiry into consumes' intention to utilize such innovative technologies remains relatively scarce. To address this research gap, the study enhances and extends the Normative Activation Model (NAM) by integrating two critical constructs: perceived behavioral control (PBC) and perceived risk (PR). Using a structural equation model (SEM), we empirically analyze survey data collected from 354 online consumers via Wenjuanxing, a reputable online sampling platform. The results reveal that personal norms (PN) and PBC significantly affect consumers' intentions to adopt ADVs, while the impact of PR is statistically non-significant. Furthermore, ascription of responsibility (AR) partially mediates in the relationships between awareness of consequences (AC) and PN, and PN serves as a partial mediator in the relationships linking AC, AR, PBC and behavioral intention. These findings provide valuable theoretical and practical insights for logistics service providers - guiding the optimization of ADVs service design and risk mitigation strategies - and relevant government departments - informing the formulation of supportive policies for ADVs deployment and consumer protection regulations.
