PET was calculated utilizing Rayman Software, and DTR was defined as the difference between daily maximum and minimum temperatures. GAM was employed to model the relationships and assess lag effects.Results: Over the six-year study period, 3112 suicides were recorded in Ilam City (mean: 1.42/day). Analysis revealed a linear exposure-response relationship for both PET and DTR on the same day (lag 0). The most notable finding was a consistent, cumulative increase in suicide risk associated with rising Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR). For each 1 °C increase in DTR, the risk escalated over successive lag periods, reaching a 3.24% increase (95% CI: 1.19, 5.33) over a 21-day period (lag 021).Conclusions: This study demonstrates that temperature variability, measured by DTR, significantly associates with suicide risk in Ilam City, Iran. These results highlight the importance of incorporating meteorological data into suicide prevention strategies and early-warning systems. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms of this relationship across different populations and climates.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106678"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Personal values and generalized beliefs about the world (social axioms) are among the defining elements surrounding culture that can expand our understanding of prosocial behavior. Scholars have extensively documented the value-behavior link, yet the contribution of social axioms in shaping complex social behaviors remains largely unknown. Few studies suggest that social axioms can enhance culture's predictive power in shaping social behavior, yet more research is needed in this regard. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study (N = 265) investigates the predictive power of values and social axioms in shaping self-reported prosocial behaviors in an underrepresented cultural context (Romania). Additionally, empathy (through perspective-taking and empathic concern) is suggested as a relevant factor in the relationship between social axioms and self-reported prosocial behavior. The results show that self-transcendence values, social complexity and reward for application positively predict prosocial behavior. Social complexity indirectly predicts prosocial behavior via perspective-taking, whereas empathic concern mediates the link between reward for application and prosocial behavior. The implications of the present findings are discussed while considering the specific Romanian context marked by societal distrust and high social cynicism.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106996"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a first phase of the study, 10-month-old infants participated in a saliency test for their attention. We used existing baseline data but applied a new analysis approach to model infants' attentional profiles-high and low preference group for salient stimuli. Afterwards, infants were exposed to the label of the referent and then participated in one of the two conditions of exploring it: In solo exploration condition (SE), infants were given the object to explore by their own; in the joint exploration condition (JE), infants could explore the object and its goal with the experimenter. In our new analysis of the test phase, we examined how differences in the sensitivity to the saliency influence infants' word learning based on the type of social interaction they receive. Our findings show that infants' looking behavior differed between JE and SE condition, with greater increases in target-directed looks over time in the JE condition. Moreover, only infants with low-preference for saliency in the JE condition successfully retrieved word-object links in all test trials. These results suggest that while joint actions can support attentional control, only infants with more balanced attention control benefit from joint actions in word learning. We conclude that early word learning is shaped by the sensitivity to the saliency in the environment, whereas social interaction helps infants to overcome the saliency bias.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106977"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using nationally representative data from the 2017-2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS), our findings reveal that relative to the respondents with a downward discrepancy in social class identification, both the overestimate (β = 0.13, P < 0.01) and consistent (β = 0.09, P < 0.01) groups exhibit significantly higher fertility intentions. These individuals also have a higher number of children and a stronger desire to have two children. Additionally, women, residents with stronger gender-inequality beliefs, people aged 30 to 39, and those living in rice-growing or rural areas are more sensitive to such effects. We also find that a discrepancy in social class identification influences fertility intentions through individuals' well-being, social trust, and perceived fairness. These results underscore the importance of helping residents accurately understand their social class identification.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106991"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey was conducted both online and offline. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the factors influencing the identification of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in children.Results: A total of 5191 questionnaires were administered in this study, of which 4431 valid responses were included in the final analysis. All Pearson correlations among variables were statistically significant. All variables demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.7), and the data were suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.952 Bartlett's test, p < 0.05). Confirmatory factor analysis supports the construction of the model. The structural equation model demonstrated a good fit to the data (CMIN/DF4.258, <5; RMSEA 0.027, <0.08; NFI、IFI、TLI、CFI、GFI > 0.9). As indicated by the structural equation model, children's ability to identify adverse drug reactions was positively influenced by self-efficacy (β = 0.199, p < 0.05), media use (β = 0.163, p < 0.05), psychological well-being (β = 0.151, p < 0.05), medication literacy (β = 0.142, p < 0.05) and family environment (β = 0.141, p < 0.05). Additionally, the family environment exerted a significant positive effect on psychological well-being, which in turn significantly enhanced self-efficacy.Conclusion: Positive mental state, high medication literacy, and favorable growth environment are all contribute to an enhanced ability to self-identify adverse drug reactions. Targeted interventions are essential for promoting lifelong health management and ensuring medication safety in children.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106993"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While SD has been originally studied in vision, it has recently been shown to occur in other sensory modalities, like hearing. Given its relative novelty, the mechanisms underlying auditory SD are still to be explored, particularly regarding how the characteristics of a stimulus, or its position in time, may or may not affect current perception. To shed light on the theme, we designed a series of temporal discrimination tasks in which participants judged whether the first of three sounds was longer than the third, with the second one serving as an inducer to elicit SD. In separate conditions, we directly manipulated both the stimulus type, using full or empty intervals, and the inter-stimulus interval (ISI) between the inducer and the third stimulus. Overall, our results suggest that SD can also be observed in the auditory timing domain. Interestingly, we found evidence that performance did not differ due to the stimulus type. Conversely, varying the ISI revealed that SD was significant at the shortest ISI, while it was not significant at the longer ISI.","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"266 ","pages":"106997"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147809519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
