Over the past decade, a growing body of research has explored the relationships between WTC and the three components of the L2 motivational self system (L2MSS): the ideal L2 self, the ought-to L2 self, and the L2 learning experience. Although these studies generally report significant positive associations of the ideal L2 self and the L2 learning experience with WTC, the reported effect sizes vary considerably across samples and contexts. Additionally, these studies have yet to reach consensus regarding the association between the ought-to L2 self and WTC, with studies reporting non-significant, significant positive, or significant negative effects. To date, no study has systematically synthesized evidence on the relationship between L2MSS and WTC. To fill in the gaps, this meta-analysis extracted 152 effect sizes (correlation coefficient, r ) from 53 empirical studies. The results indicated that all three components of L2MSS were positively correlated with WTC, with moderate effects for the ideal L2 self ( r = .46) and the L2 learning experience ( r = .46), and a negligible effect size for the ought-to L2 self ( r = .20). The analysis further revealed that the effect size varied across regional contexts, educational levels, target languages, statistical procedures, communicative contexts, and construct validation methods. The findings of this study also provide evidence to support the facilitative role of the L2MSS in enhancing learners’ WTC and offer pedagogical implications for L2 teachers and directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":47852,"journal":{"name":"Language Teaching Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221353","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}

However, the application of secondary data analysis to qualitative data in L2 research remains limited. In this article, we aim to contribute to this underexplored area of L2 research by discussing the potential of secondary qualitative data analysis, with a particular focus on reanalysis-based secondary qualitative data analysis. We first provide an overview of open science and an introduction to the concept of secondary research. Then, we introduce a framework for conducting reanalysis-based secondary qualitative data analysis by using the actual dataset from Sunardi et al., (2025) as an illustrative example. The framework includes (a) clarifying research goals and plans, (b) preregistering the research, (c) conducting the analysis, and (d) presenting and reflecting on the results. The proposed framework integrates existing research and serves as an initial model for the secondary qualitative analysis of reanalyzed data. It aims to encourage further research into this approach as a valuable methodological avenue for advancing second language acquisition research.","PeriodicalId":22008,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Second Language Acquisition","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221352","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 first explain why Confucian ethics provides a normatively appropriate and socially salient framework for evaluating reproductive policy in the Chinese context. We then articulate a theoretical model that we term Confucian familist virtue ethics. A central contribution of the paper is to distinguish between Confucian ethical ideals and its minimal standards. While the ideals-such as timely marriage and childbearing within an intact family-are properly the objects of moral aspiration and voluntary cultivation, only violations of the minimal standards warrant legal prohibition. On this basis, we develop three lines of argument to show that although social egg freezing by single women may fall short of Confucian aspirational ideals, it does not violate the ethical minimum. Accordingly, it does not justify coercive state intervention. Finally, we examine the predictive concern that permitting social egg freezing would undermine marital norms or substantially increase single motherhood. We argue that such negative effects are empirically uncertain and in principle manageable through regulatory design. They therefore fail to provide sufficient grounds for a categorical prohibition.","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extending the Theory of Planned Behavior with topic-specific beliefs, we analyze how six key factors shape engagement intentions: attitudes toward public engagement, perceived institutional and peer climates, perceived self-efficacy, scientists' own attitude toward genetically modified foods, and their perception of public attitudes toward genetically modified foods. Results of partial least squares structural equation modeling reveal that attitude toward public engagement and perceived self-efficacy are the strongest predictors, while subjective norms play a limited role. Crucially, scientists' own favorable attitudes toward genetically modified foods exert an indirect, positive effect on their engagement intentions. We further examine disciplinary differences in public engagement beliefs and find that agricultural and biological scientists hold significantly more positive attitudes toward engaging the public on genetically modified foods than scientists in other disciplines.","PeriodicalId":48094,"journal":{"name":"Public Understanding of Science","volume":" ","pages":"9636625261491174"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this question through a large-scale, LLM-assisted observational analysis of online engagement with VSS posts and comments that support or counter such content using statistical versus narrative evidence in the Reddit community r/DebateVaccines . Building on Fisher’s distinction between rational and narrative paradigms , we theorize two paths of conversation through which evidentiary forms are associated with audience engagement with contentious vaccine discourses in a naturalistic social media setting: a rational pathway, marked by concentrated participation and corrective contestation around statistical claims and counterclaims, tending toward a single evidence-based truth “approved” by one-click reactions; and a narrative pathway, characterized by generative engagement featuring broader and more distributed participation, more discursive and generative engagement, and greater acceptance of competing viewpoints. These findings provide a springboard for theorizing evidentiary form as a key epistemic logic associated with how conversations evolve in real-world engagement with contentious, socially consequential issues such as vaccine misinformation, while informing hybrid approaches to addressing skepticism toward established vaccine science.","PeriodicalId":48323,"journal":{"name":"Communication Research","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198980","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}

Legal systems cannot operate on continuously variable metaphysical properties; they require discrete and administrable allocations of rights, duties, and powers. To address this gap, the paper proposes an institutional incidence framework, in which legal status is understood as the selective assignment of juridical incidents according to regulatory objectives without treating metaphysical classification as dispositive. On this view, the central question is not simply whether the fetus is a person (actual, potential, or imminent), but which incidents of legal status should attach at particular stages and for particular regulatory purposes. This reframes the legal regulation of abortion as a problem of institutional design rather than ontological determination. The paper argues that such an approach better explains existing legal practice, avoids threshold arbitrariness, and enables stable legal regulation amid persistent moral disagreement. While Cox's imminence proposal captures an important phenomenology of fetal development, an institutional incidence framework provides a more durable foundation for legal and policy architecture in pluralistic societies.","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
