This study investigates how predictive analytics, when integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) and diverse data sources, can enhance firms' capacity to detect and respond to latent consumer demands. Drawing on a cross-national survey of 750 digitally active consumers in Jordan, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia, the research employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test a conceptual framework linking data diversity, interactive systems, and predictive analytics with market performance. The findings reveal that predictive analytics serves as a powerful mediator between heterogeneous data inputs and improved organizational responsiveness, significantly contributing to the identification of unexpressed needs and enhancement of market performance. Moreover, the study uncovers the moderating role of customer interface quality and the nuanced impact of technological innovation. By extending dynamic capabilities theory and addressing theoretical gaps in the detection of unconscious consumer intent, this research offers a novel perspective on anticipatory intelligence. The results underscore the importance of integrating human-centered design with algorithmic precision to translate predictive insights into actionable business value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 105089"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115685","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}

Wessel et al. (2022) showed that an error produced on a flanker-type task had a negative impact on a working memory span recognition. This effect is called ERIAM (Error Related Impairment of Active Working Memory) and consists of degradation of memory span following the production of an error on a conflict task concurrent to a memory task. In their study, the ERIAM effect is more pronounced in Low Span individuals. This suggests that these individuals have less stable Working Memory representations and are more likely to be impacted by an error. The presented study replicates the ERIAM protocol of Wessel et al. (2022) by adding variation of cognitive load. In addition, span recognition task is modified with a recall task. Results show a replication of ERIAM effect in our sample. Moreover, ERIAM effect is only significant in lowspan group in the moderate cognitive load condition and in highspan group in the increased load condition. In line with Lavie's load theory (Lavie et al., 2004), we explain these results by the fact that High and Low Span groups do not process cognitive load increase in the same way.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 105113"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115688","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}

Based on data from the China General Social Survey (2015–2021), this study employs a three-stage sampling design to systematically explore the impact of education level on parental gender preferences. There are four main findings. First, the maternal education level independently reduces the preference for sons, whereas the paternal education level's impact requires consideration of spousal education levels. Second, in educational assortative matching, the hypogamy model, dominated by highly educated women, significantly weakens fathers' preferences for sons, whereas the traditional hypergamy model strengthens gender bias. Third, education level primarily affects parental gender preferences by dismantling the logic of economic dependence rather than cultural inertia. Fourth, there were significant regional differences in the effectiveness of educational interventions on parental gender preferences. These findings fill a gap in the research on paternal roles and educational assortative matching and provide a new perspective for understanding the gender dynamics of family decision-making in China. This research advances the empirical evidence on parental gender preferences antecedents and provides empirical foundations for policies aimed at enhancing educational equity and dismantling patriarchal norms through targeted interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 105110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106005","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}

Unfortunately, this prior research has largely been amalgamated: it averages data from dozens of TRA pairs without accounting for important life experiences, including education (which has demonstrated a causal impact on IQ performance). In this paper, we gathered data from every available TRA case published in the academic literature over the last century that included both individualized IQ and biographical data. This data set (which we believe represents the entirety of the non-amalgamated TRA field) consists of 87 pairs. For our analysis, we split these pairs into three groups: similar, somewhat dissimilar, and very dissimilar schooling. Analyses reveals that schooling differences have a significant impact not only on the absolute IQ difference between TRA pairs (5.8, 12.1, and 15.1 points, respectively), but also the ICC (0.87, 0.80, 0.56, respectively). These findings raise an important question regarding the historic use of ICC as a measure of genetic influence on IQ and other psychological traits.

As a key psychological construct in the teaching profession, teacher emotional intelligence (TEI) has received increasing scholarly attention in recent years. This study employs bibliometric analysis to quantitatively and visually analyze 258 academic publications on TEI from the WOS core databases in the 21st century. The study reports some bibliometric characteristics of these publications, in which it found that the number of annual publications over the years went through two distinct phases: a nascent and early exploratory period (2000–2018) and a rapid growth period (2019–2023). Spain and China emerged as leading contributors, while Canada's studies demonstrated the highest citation impact (average citations per article). The study also shows other valuable information such as the primary sources of publications, the most prolific authors and institutions, and the most cited publications, etc. Moreover, the relationships among items of publications and keywords were identified and analyzed to present the research status of this field. “Burnout”, “job satisfaction” and “self-efficacy” are the high-frequency and core keywords. It can be found that research on TEI has constantly evolved into more diverse themes in the 21st century, with “EI”, “higher education” and “engagement” being consistent themes across different development periods. Notably, topics like “support”, “mindfulness” and “intention” are emerging, expected to continue gaining intention.
