Debunking claims and prioritizing public health: India's bold stand against tobacco imagery on OTT platforms
India has taken a ground-breaking step in public health by mandating anti-tobacco warnings and disclaimers on over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Concerns over the prevalence of tobacco imagery in media, including OTT platforms, prompted this decision due to its role in normalizing and glamorizing smoking, particularly among the youth. The Indian government aims to comprehensively address this issue and protect public health. This article reviews recent news articles on the developments in the 2023 amendments to Cigarette and other tobacco products act COTPA 2004 and relevant studies on the ill effects of tobacco imagery to form the viewpoint. To effectively implement the new order, clear guidelines, and standards need to be established. Additionally, comprehensive awareness and education campaigns should be launched, while strict monitoring and enforcement mechanisms must be implemented. Supporting research initiatives should evaluate the impact of the warnings, and multiple stakeholders should be involved in the decision-making process. India's commitment to protecting public health and curbing tobacco advertisements on OTT platforms necessitates clear guidelines, awareness campaigns, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, research initiatives, and stakeholder engagement. This government order aligns with international public health frameworks and can serve as a precedent for other countries. By implementing these measures, we can counter the normalization and glamorization of tobacco use and create a healthier future
Individual Differences in asymmetry of updating emotion inferences - replication
This study is a replication of a prior study (registration link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/MB86V) to examine asymmetry in updating the inferred intensity of emotions. The study design is identical to the prior study, except that we combine the 6-item scale into 2 sub-dimensions (value and diagnosticity, instead of the original 3 sub-dimensions of value, specificity and invariability). This modification is based on the correlation of items observed in the prior study. In this study, we collect data from a sample sufficiently powered to examine whether there is an effect of people's lay beliefs about facial expressions on the asymmetry in updating inferred emotions
Individual differences in cue-integration in emotion inferences and STEU
This project is a replication of a previous study with a higher powered nationally representative sample. The study examines individual differences in cue-integration in emotion inferences and how that variation relates to other measures of individual differences in the emotion domain
Individual differences in cue-integration in emotion inferences
This project is a replication and extension of a previous study that examined individual differences in cue-integration in emotion inferences and how that variation relates to other measures of individual differences in the emotion domain
Updating of Emotion Inferences from faces and situations
This project contains all the data files and analysis code for our project examining asymmetry in updating of emotion inferences from facial and situational cues
Asymmetry in updating emotion inferences: Individual Differences replication
This study is a replication of a prior study (registration link: https://osf.io/xf4yu) to examine asymmetry in updating the inferred intensity of emotions and the relationship of beliefs about diagnosticity of faces with this asymmetry in updating. The study design is identical to the prior study and we collect data from a sample sufficiently powered to examine a small effect of people's lay beliefs about diagnosticity of facial expressions on the asymmetry in updating inferred emotions
Individual differences in the asymmetry of updating emotion inferences
This study examines whether people update the inferred intensity of emotions differently from facial and situational cues. Additionally, we examine whether people's lay beliefs about facial expressions relate to this asymmetry in updating of emotion inferences
