1. Clarifying the Association Between Digital Media Engagement and Risk Taking.
1. 厘清数字媒体参与与冒险行为之间的关联PMID:日期:2026-08-04In two cross-sectional studies, we examined the association between smartphone and social media use (SSMU) and risk-taking behavior, focusing on the psychological mechanisms and dimensions of media engagement that may underlie this relationship. In Study 1, we tested whether individual differences in impulsivity, reward sensitivity, and exploratory tendencies accounted for associations between SSMU and multiple forms of risk taking, and whether engagement with more socially interactive platforms differentially related to risk behavior. Results showed that risk taking was associated with SSMU above and beyond specific psychological traits. Negative low-stakes risk taking emerged as the strongest and most consistent correlate of SSMU, and this association was stronger for use of more highly socially interactive platforms. In Study 2, these analyses were conceptually replicated in a larger sample spanning adolescent and young adult cohorts. Across developmental stages, risk taking, particularly involving low-stakes negative risks, remained a robust correlate of SSMU, whereas associations with dispositional traits varied by age group. Together, these findings suggest that SSMU is uniquely linked to everyday forms of risk taking in ways that are not fully captured by broader dispositional traits.

2. The calculator analogy: Epistemic virtues for using LLMs.
2. 计算器类比：使用大型语言模型的认识论美德PMID:日期:2026-04Like the arrival of calculators in 1970s classrooms, large language models (LLMs) provoke both fears of intellectual deskilling and hopes of more efficient learning. In this paper we analyze the calculator analogy, arguing that while it is a useful starting point to understand the potential impact of LLMs in education, it is ultimately insufficient. We show where the analogy holds and, just as importantly, where its limitations reveal the unique pedagogical challenges posed by LLMs. These challenges arise from fundamental differences in how calculators and LLMs mediate learning, reflecting the distinct affordances of each technology. We argue that because of their affordances, realizing the educational potential of LLMs calls for cultivating epistemic virtues suited to human-AI interaction, such as patience, reflective engagement, or intellectual vigilance and humility. Equally, LLM design must actively foster these virtues through features like built-in prompts, feedback loops or reflective questions, to name just a few.

3. Children's susceptibility to content generated by artificial intelligence.
3. 儿童对人工智能生成内容的易感性PMID:日期:2026-03-18Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) tools can make it difficult to discern what is "real". Though children are interacting with AI-generated materials through entertainment and learning applications, no published work directly considers children's ability to distinguish human-created from AI-generated information. In the current study, 37 children (6-10 years old) heard a narrative about a "SmartBot" (representing AI) that could write text, invent photos, and create art. They were then asked to discern which in a series of stimuli including short texts and images of objects, art, and faces, had come from the SmartBot vs. a human teacher and answer questions regarding their beliefs about AI. Children also completed measures of abstract reasoning and receptive vocabulary, and parents completed a home technology use survey. A separate sample of 49 adults (18-34 years) served as a comparison group for accuracy scores on the set of stimuli. On average, children performed at or below chance in discriminating human-created from AI-generated content across modalities, and their overall accuracy was significantly below that of adults. Children's individual discernment varied and was significantly and negatively associated with parent reports of children's at-home technology use. Children had varied beliefs about AI agency and experience, but broadly understood that an AI agent (the SmartBot) is not alive (95%). Our findings suggest that spending more time on digital devices is associated with susceptibility to artificial content and risk for misattributing AI content as human, highlighting the importance of early AI literacy to support children's engagement with AI technologies.

4. A Social and Ethical Framework for Providing Health Information Obtained from Combining Genetics and Fitness Tracking Data.
4. 提供结合遗传学和健身追踪数据的健康信息的社会与伦理框架PMID:日期:2023-06-16In this paper we explore a new technological intersection in the "big data revolution": the integration of two forms of data, genetic data and fitness tracking data. For example, a small number of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing companies have recently begun offering customers the ability to link their fitness tracking data with their genetic profile to get personalized diet and exercise recommendations. In this paper we put forward four ethical considerations that should inform potential uses of this health information. Those considerations are: the heightened risks to privacy resulting from combining sensitive data sets; the poor quality of health information that is possible at present in the realm of precision DTC genomics; the limited usefulness of the recommendations; and finally, the cultural assumptions about health and personal responsibility that are embedded within fitness genetic testing and fitness tracking. To conclude, we offer some guidance on how the benefits and risks of returning this type of health information can be weighed.

5. An empirical analysis of American Passenger's willingness to fly in commercial airplanes after vaccination against COVID-19.
PMID:日期:2023-04-08Although several studies have explored the effects of the pandemic on aviation, little remains known about whether members of the public are willing to fly again after they have been vaccinated. The current study uses the Health Belief Model (HBM) to fill this missing gap by manipulating the following variables: 1) whether or not the participant is vaccinated; 2) whether or not airlines require that all passengers and crew receive vaccinations; 3) length of flight; 4) destination; and 5) the number of passengers. The data from 678 participants revealed that willingness to fly is much higher if the participants themselves have been vaccinated, if the airlines require all passengers to be vaccinated, if the flight is short, if the destination is domestic, and if the number of passengers is low. These findings did not appear to differ as a function of flying business pleasure. We discuss the practical implications of these data as airlines struggle to bring back their customer base.

6. High potential of technology to face new respiratory viruses: mechanical ventilation devices for effective healthcare to next pandemic emergencies.
6. 技术在应对新型呼吸道病毒方面具有巨大潜力：机械通气设备为下一次大流行病紧急情况提供有效的医疗保健PMID:日期:2023-03-21Some countries in the presence of unforeseen Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have experienced lower total deaths, though higher numbers of COVID-19 related infections. Results here suggest that one of the explanations is the critical role of ventilator technology in clinical health environment to cope with the initial stage of COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Statistical evidence shows that a large number of ventilators or breathing devices in countries (26.76 units per 100,000 inhabitants) is associated with a fatality rate of 1.44% (December 2020), whereas a higher fatality rate given by 2.46% is in nations with lower numbers of ventilator devices (10.38 average units per 100,000 people). These findings suggest that a large number of medical ventilators in clinical setting has a high potential for more efficient healthcare and improves the effective preparedness of crisis management to cope with new respiratory pandemic diseases in society. Hence, a forward-thinking and technology-oriented strategy in healthcare sector, based on investments in high-tech ventilator devices and other new medical technologies, can help clinicians deliver effective care and reduce negative effects of present and future respiratory infectious diseases, in particular when new drugs and appropriate treatments are missing in clinical environment to face unknown respiratory viral agents .

7. Digitalization, income inequality, and public health: Evidence from developing countries.
7. 数字化、收入不平等与公共健康：来自发展中国家的证据PMID:日期:2023-02-22The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the awareness and demand of public health worldwide. Based on the panel data of 81 developing countries from 2002 to 2019, this study probes into the effect of digitalization on public health and explores the mechanism through which digitalization affects public health from the perspective of income inequality. The results show that digitalization significantly enhances public health in developing countries, and this conclusion still holds after the robustness test. The heterogeneity analysis based on geographic location and income level indicates that the enhancing effect of digitalization on public health is most evident in Africa and middle-income countries. A further mechanism analysis suggests that digitalization can positively impact public health through the intermediary channel of suppressing income inequality. This study enriches the research on digitalization and public health and provides insights for comprehending public health needs and the powerful empowering effects of digitalization.

8. Governing AI during a pandemic crisis: Initiatives at the EU level.
8. 疫情期间的人工智能治理：欧盟层面的举措PMID:日期:2023-02-03After the outbreak of Covid-19, the European Commission (EC) promptly took the initiative to lead and coordinate a common European response. The actions unfolded in several directions, paving the way to the uptake of AI-related solutions and placing hope in these tools to face crises, namely of a public health and global nature. In this article, we focus on initiatives for the uptake of AI-related solutions from the experimental level towards implementation. The Repository of AI and Robotics solutions, launched in 2020, is an example of an initiative put forth to leverage and disseminate knowledge on AI, expanding the fields of application and fostering the development and adaptation of cutting-edge technologies to explore how they can assist in tackling specific tasks during a public health crisis. Using this database, the article outlines the promise of AI as a hope for handling specific needs and tasks and how the uptake of such technologies was accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic. In extension, we frame initiatives for the uptake of AI-enabled solutions from a governance perspective, focusing on the establishment of frameworks for ethical and trustworthy AI by defining principles and standards that aim to protect the underlying values deemed fundamental.

9. From Heroes to Scoundrels: Exploring the effects of online campaigns celebrating frontline workers on COVID-19 outcomes.
PMID:日期:2023-01-21This paper examines the effects of online campaigns celebrating frontline workers on COVID-19 outcomes regarding new cases, deaths, and vaccinations, using the United Kingdom as a case study. We implement text and sentiment analysis on Twitter data and feed the result into random regression forests and cointegration analysis. Our combined machine learning and econometric approach shows very weak effects of both the volume and the sentiment of Twitter discussions on new cases, deaths, and vaccinations. On the other hand, established relationships (such as between stringency measures and cases/deaths and between vaccinations and deaths) are confirmed. On the contrary, we find adverse lagged effects from negative sentiment to vaccinations and from new cases to negative sentiment posts. As we assess the knowledge acquired from the COVID-19 crisis, our findings can be used by policy makers, particularly in public health, and prepare for the next pandemic.

10. The digital divide in online learning in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.
PMID:日期:2022-09-13In recent years, online learning in the education sector has increasingly become prominent. While many believe that online learning has the potential to reduce inequity, the debate on whether it bridges the gap or widens it continues to persist. This study examined equity issues in online learning in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used data from the Online Learning Survey of High School Students in China to analyze the influencing factors of the first, second, and third-level digital divide. The study found that the digital divide existed in online learning during the pandemic. It was primarily presented as differences in equipment quantity and network quality, students' adaptability to online teaching, and their offline learning outcomes. These findings suggest that the development of online learning alone cannot eliminate achievement gaps. The promotion of education equity requires efforts from various stakeholders and interventions specifically targeting disadvantaged students.
