Specifically, a cognitive-structural approach to message design would suggest that messages targeting central concepts in an audience’s shared cognitive structure will have stronger persuasive effects than messages targeting more peripheral concepts. The present investigation, however, failed to provide support for this approach. The results of four studies revealed that attitude and semantic networks each provided a different estimate of cognitive structure and made competing claims about whether this structure differs for Republicans and Democrats. However, neither structure successfully predicted which messages would be most effective. Instead, both Democrats and Republicans were persuaded by a wide range of arguments targeting both central and peripheral concepts. The results have implications for future work on the role of cognitive structures in persuasion and theory-driven message development.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"108 6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We drew Frisian–Dutch bilinguals (n = 7,448) and Low Saxon–Dutch bilinguals (n = 10,114) from the Lifelines Cohort Study and included participants aged 20–80, enabling an adult lifespan perspective. Cognitive functioning was measured using the Cogstate Brief Battery, which assesses processing speed, attention, working memory and recognition memory. We did not observe a robust relationship between bilingual engagement and cognitive functioning. Our results suggest that bilingual engagement does not play a key role in processing speed, attention, working memory and recognition memory performance in Frisian–Dutch and Low Saxon–Dutch bilinguals. Implications for the bilingual engagement measurement and potential investigations into regional minority language bilingualism and cognition are discussed.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145277413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These systemic issues at Justus Liebig University in Gießen, Germany played a critical role in enabling widespread data falsification and ethical violations. Benno von Bormann, a former collaborator of Joachim Boldt involved in the misconduct, subsequently authored the semi-fictional novel Das Hospital, which depicts hierarchical power dynamics and ethical dilemmas within a hospital setting. This book review examines how von Bormann's narrative parallels the documented institutional weaknesses that facilitated the Boldt scandal. By comparing insights from the University of Gießen's investigation report, as summarized in publicly available sources, and the themes in Das Hospital, a unique interdisciplinary analysis of institutional responsibility is offered. The twin-pronged approach sheds light on the systemic conditions that may encourage unethical research behaviours, potentially leading to corresponding patterns of research withdrawals in areas and disciplines where such practices are notably prevalent. This study concludes by revisiting approaches to enhance transparency, accountability, and cultural changes in research management. This underscores the importance of combining literary analysis with factual examination of institutions to tackle ongoing issues in upholding research integrity.","PeriodicalId":50252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioethical Inquiry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantum technologies comprise the latest NEST attracting interest from scholarship in the social sciences and humanities. While there is a small community now emerging around broader discussion of quantum technologies in society, the concepts of ethics of quantum technologies and responsible innovation are still fluid. In this article, we argue that lessons from previous instances of NEST can offer important insights into the early stages of quantum technology discourse and development. In the embryonic stages of discourse around NEST, there is often an undue emphasis on the novelty of ethical issues, leading to speculation and misplaced resources and energy. Using a lens of continuity, we revisit experiences and lessons from nanotechnology discourse. Zooming in on key characteristics of the nanoethics discourse, we use these features as analytical tools with which to assess and analyse emerging discourse around quantum technologies. We point to continuities between nano and quantum discourse, including the focus on 'responsible' or 'good' technology; the intensification of ethical issues brought about by enabling technologies; the limitations and risks of speculative ethics; the effects of ambivalence on the framing of ethics; and the importance of paying attention to the present. These issues are taken forward to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' and to offer guidance in shaping the ethics discourse around quantum technologies into a more focused and effective debate.","PeriodicalId":49564,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering Ethics","volume":"31 5","pages":"31"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12518464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
