Emotion recognition and social behavior in early and mid-stage parkinson's disease
No full textSocial cognition refers to the ability to assess one's own and others' emotions and behavior. It is essential for interpersonal relationship and is frequently impaired in Parkinson’s disease (PD), even in early stages. Three domains are relevant in social cognition: emotion recognition, social behavior and theory of mind. Many studies have investigated theory of mind processing, but few studies exist on emotion recognition and social behavior in patients with PD. Evidence from patients with neurodegenerative disease show that emotion recognition primarily involves the semantic-appraisal network (SAN), which includes the anterior temporal lobe, nucleus accumbens, caudate, putamen, and orbitofrontal cortex. On the other hand, social behavior predominantly corresponds with the salience network (SN) consisting of cortical (anterior insula, anterior cingulate cortex) and subcortical (amygdala, hypothalamus, midbrain PAG) regions. Dopamine is the major neurotransmitter of the SAN, which originates in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). While the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic system predominates in PD, the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathways that include regions of the SN and SAN are also often affected, although to a lesser extent. Due to the gradual impairment of the mesolimbic system, it is expected that social cognition will be mildly affected in early disease stages and more severely impaired in advanced PD, independent of cognitive decline. Few studies have investigated whether emotion recognition and social behavior change with disease progression in patients with dopaminergic medication and treatment fluctuations.
The goal of the study is to investigate social cognition with a focus on emotion recognition and social behavior in de novo patients with PD in the early stages before administration of a dopaminergic drug and in more advanced patients with wearing-OFF fluctuations that occur during treatment. The findings will be compared with age-, sex- and education-matched controls. We expect that emotion recognition will be impaired in early, mild cognitive impairment stages of PD, and that social behavior dysfunction occur in later disease stages. We also anticipate that degree of social cognitive impairment will be lower during ON- than OFF-medication.
30 non-demented de novo patients with PD and 30 matched healthy controls, 30 mid-stage patients with PD and 30 matched healthy controls will be included. Patients with severe depression measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and severe behavioral disorders measured by the UPDRS will be excluded. Emotion recognition will be assessed using the video-based Basel version of the Awareness of Social Inference Test – Emotion Recognition (BASIT-ER) test and the Facial Emotion Intensity Rating Test – Congruent and Incongruent (FEIRT-CIC) test. For the evaluation of social behavior the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS), the Behavioural Dysfunction Questionnaire (BDQ) and the Saarbrücker Persönlichkeitsfragebogen (SPF) will be used.
To distinguish between PD and controls, we will apply general linear models using the assessments of social cognition as explanatory variables, controlling for age, sex, depression, general cognitive and executive functioning, and daily levodopa equivalent dose
Medias and environmental technosolutionism (Study 2)
No full textEcological collapse is now widely recognized by climate scientists as a global and urgent issue. In this context, a growing proportion of the population believes that technology, and more recently artificial intelligence (AI), could be a key solution to climate and environmental challenges (IPSOS, 2022). AI is already integrated into certain climate policies, such as the European Green Deal (Gailhofer et al., 2021). This confidence is part of another, increasingly intensive use of digital technologies (Grinin et al., 2022): information. Indeed, the communication and information channels that people use are now the internet, social media, and AI systems rather than traditional media (Carman et al., 2025; Hancock et al., 2020; Ibrahim et al., 2023).
This development raises questions, because technologies and their media environments, whether “new” or “traditional,” are not neutral (Daminov, 2024; Swbodoa & Lauwaert, 2025) and, like any means of communication, they influence beliefs and attitudes (Kim et al., 2017). These influences are expressed in two complementary ways, one related to the media itself (i.e., form) and the other related to its content. For McLuhan (1964), the form of the media has a cognitive and structural impact on individuals and society. From this perspective, new information technologies and the resulting explosion in media offerings (the Internet, social networks, podcasts, etc.) have fragmented and individualized information systems. Here, information is becoming increasingly accessible, interactive, and personalized. In this sense, it may be reasonable to think that the media use of these new technologies promotes beliefs that are more individualistic (personalization and fragmentation of information channels) than collectivist and focused on the effectiveness of technological solutions. Media content also plays a key role in influencing public opinion. According to agenda-setting theory (Shaw et al., 1999), the media select topics and issues, frame them, and convey values, which helps shape what people perceive as relevant or desirable. Media exposure can, for example, influence political attitudes, although the results remain inconsistent across studies (Nadeau & Giasson, 2003; Daminov, 2024). Furthermore, the individualization and personalization of new information technologies would allow people to choose the content to which they want to be exposed (Shaw et al., 1999). In this sense, the content selected here could reinforce or even polarize beliefs and attitudes.
The influence of these technologies raises questions about the impact of their use on adherence to technosolutionist beliefs. For Nagpal et al. (2024), “technosolutionism represents the extent to which an individual believes that technology is in a unique position to solve organizational as well as larger societal problems (Johnston, 2018).” (p. 3). Their work shows that technosolutionist attitudes predict a preference for AI solutions in an organizational context.
Looking at a broader social context, Morozov (2023) shows that technosolutionism ignores the structural, political, and economic causes of social and environmental problems, reducing them to mere obstacles that can be solved by technical innovations. According to this researcher, technosolutionism can thus be likened to “digital neoliberalism,” which values efficiency and individual adaptation at the expense of structural and collective change.
This conceptualization of technosolutionism provides a better understanding of why and how technosolutionist beliefs should be associated with lower environmental values. Indeed, a ubiquitous strategy for reducing climate action and support for it is the depoliticization of environmental issues, which consists of delaying or denigrating collective and political action by presenting it as unnecessary or irresponsible (Comby, 2019). This neoliberal way of framing ecological issues has become ubiquitous in most circles (Reuter & Frick, 2024). This depoliticization takes several forms, including individualizing collective problems, but also postponing difficult decisions under the guise of upcoming technological breakthroughs that will enable a supposed ecological transition (Fressoz, 2022). Thus, in the ecological domain, environmental technosolutionism is characterized by the belief that ecological collapse can be resolved primarily through technological innovations, to the detriment of structural approaches. Although sometimes cited as an obstacle to environmental actions and attitudes (Gifford, 2011), this concept is, to our knowledge, largely understudied in social psychology, even though there is every reason to believe that it should be associated with weaker environmental attitudes.
Based on data from the European Social Survey, the objective of this study is to examine whether the use of new technologies (the Internet, social networks) is linked to environmental technosolutionism. Furthermore, as we have seen, environmental technosolutionism is a particular form of neoliberal attitude, so we expect it to correlate with other neoliberal values and attitudes, such as low support for government intervention, the desire to be rich and autonomous, and low support for equality.
Finally, given that our study is correlational, it should be noted that the causality between attitudes and media remains debated: do the media influence attitudes, or do pre-existing attitudes guide the choice of media and content? (see, for example, Hoewe & Peacock, 2020, on political attitudes). In concrete terms, while we can accept that the use of new technologies leads to technosolutionist beliefs, the reverse is also possible. These links must, of course, be considered in light of other factors such as the specific characteristics of the media and the individual characteristics of the audience (age, gender, digital skills, etc.).
Main goals:
Identifying correlation between media use and technosolutionism
Identifying correlation between technosolutionism and social values
Using European Social Survey (Round 5_edition 3.6) and multilevel correlations this study aims to investigate how media use and in particular internet use is linked to environmental technosolutionism. Furthermore, we will explore how environmental technosolutionism is linked to low importance given to the environment.
Finaly, we aim to investigate how this environmental technosolutionism is linked to contextual social values, such as neoliberalism. We will thus test correlations between environmental technosolutionism and proxies of neoliberalism, namely: (non) support for government implication, importance to be rich, importance of own will and opposition to equality
Toxic speech, fragile trust: How hostile comments about women shape their trust? - Part 2
No full textThe study consists of two parts. In the first part, participants will be passively exposed to a series of misogynistic posts, i.e., they will be presented with misogynistic content not directed at them personally. In the second part of the study, the dependent variable—trust—will be measured, operationalized both as a self-reported response to questionnaire items and as the amount of money transferred by the participant in the so-called investment game (also referred to as the trust game). Participants will play three rounds of the game, serving as the investor in each round. In every round, participants will interact with a different partner, according to the following scenario: a man, a woman, and a person of unspecified gender. In the self-report measure, women will be asked to indicate their level of trust toward men, women, and people in general. The main independent variables subject to manipulation are:
1. Gender of the author of the comment: man vs. woman.
2. Type of comment received: misogynistic vs. neutral.
3. Gender of the person being evaluated by the participant in terms of perceived trustworthiness (in the second part of the study; three variants: man, woman, person of unspecified gender – both behavioral and self-report measures).
The study will be complemented with a questionnaire section measuring the following metrics: demographic characteristics (age, education, place of residence, native language), social media use, political preferences, and socioeconomic status
Comparative Study on the Effects of Different Optical Correction Methods on Astigmatism in Children and Their Myopia Prevention and Control Effect
No full textMyopia, as an ocular disorder characterized by abnormal axial elongation and increased refractive power, has become a significant global public health challenge. Astigmatism often coexists with myopia, not only impairing visual acuity but also reducing the efficacy of myopia control interventions. Consequently, exploring more effective approaches to synergistically control the progression of both myopia and astigmatism has emerged as a key research focus in the field of optometry. Against this backdrop, this study compared four correction modalities—single-focus glasses, point-diffusion technology (PDT) glasses, high non-micro-lens (HNM) frame glasses, and high-astigmatism lenses (HAL) combined with 0.01% atropine—to analyze their effects on total astigmatism and corneal astigmatism in patients, and systematically evaluated their differences in one-year control outcomes among children with myopia. The findings aim to provide a more comprehensive and targeted reference for clinical practice in controlling astigmatism progression and optimizing comprehensive myopia prevention strategies

The Mediating Role Of Global Export Strategic Mindset: Global Capabilities, Networks, And Global Export Mindset In Emerging Market Small And Medium Enterprises
No full textResearch on export performance has extensively examined the roles of export orientation, global networks, and dynamic capabilities in enhancing firms’ export outcomes, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, existing studies largely rely on direct-effect approaches and provide limited explanation of the internal mechanisms through which external resources and organizational capabilities are transformed into export performance. Moreover, the literature tends to treat global mindset, strategic cognition, and export orientation as separate constructs, resulting in fragmented insights and inconsistent empirical findings. Addressing these gaps, this study proposes the development and empirical examination of Global Export Strategic Mindset (GESM) as a conceptually derived construct that functions as a strategic mechanism linking global network and global dynamic capability to export performance. GESM is conceptualized as a cross-level strategic capability that integrates managerial global perspective, strategic cognitive processing, and organizational commitment to exporting. Operationally, GESM is modeled as a higher-order construct comprising three dimensions: Global Strategic Cognition, Strategic Export Commitment, and Global–Local Strategic Integration.
This study adopts a quantitative, explanatory research design. Data are planned to be collected through a survey of exporting SMEs in Indonesia and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the proposed structural relationships and the mediating role of GESM. The proposed research is expected to contribute to export performance and internationalization literature by providing a mechanism-based explanation of how global resources and capabilities are converted into effective export strategies, while offering practical insights for strengthening the strategic capacity of SMEs in emerging economies
