The results indicate that algorithmic gamification is positively associated with proactive service behaviour through commitment attribution and negatively associated with it through control attribution. Further analyses revealed that the indirect effect through commitment attribution was larger in absolute magnitude than that through control attribution, yielding a statistically significant positive total indirect effect.

Specifically, higher-than-usual PIU at T1 was associated with higher subsequent DS at T2, and higher-than-usual DS at T2 was associated with higher subsequent PIU and FNE at T3; in contrast, FNE was not significantly associated with subsequent PIU in either of the two adjacent time periods.

Virtual pedagogical agents have gradually evolved from auxiliary tools into intelligent instructional media capable of affective interaction.

Integrating social agency theory and cognitive load theory, this study developed a model in which virtual pedagogical agent type was the independent variable; learning experience was the dependent variable; psychological distance, emotional attachment, and attentional engagement were mediators; and instructional content type was the moderator. A 2 (virtual pedagogical agent: human-like vs. non-human) × 2 (instructional content type: traditional knowledge vs. interest-oriented popular science) mixed design was used. Questionnaires, eye tracking, and electroencephalography (EEG) were combined to assess the learning processes of 40 university students. The results showed that the interaction between agent type and instructional content type significantly affected learning experience. Specifically, in learning contexts featuring traditional knowledge content, human-like virtual agents were associated with higher learning satisfaction, greater emotional attachment, and lower psychological distance. In contrast, during interest-oriented content learning, non-human agents achieved superior knowledge recall scores, along with higher learning satisfaction, stronger emotional attachment, and lower psychological distance. Furthermore, eye-tracking data showed that attentional allocation was also affected by this combination. EEG data showed that FCz spectral power varied with it as well, however, because power rose simultaneously in theta, alpha, beta, and gamma; this broadband pattern is not an unambiguous index of deeper processing and may partly reflect a general increase in signal amplitude. In addition, the moderated-mediation analysis revealed that psychological distance and emotional attachment mediated the relationship between virtual-agent type and learning experience, while knowledge type moderated these mediating paths.

This cross-sectional study assessed HIV/AIDS knowledge and stigmatizing attitudes toward PLHIV among healthcare workers and the factors associated with stigma. <b>Methods:</b> All physicians and nurses employed at three public hospitals in Mersin, Turkey (<i>N</i> = 2230), were invited to participate; because participation was voluntary and anonymous, the analysed sample was self-selected and is best characterised as a convenience sample. Data were collected over 45 days using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire hosted on an online survey platform, comprising a 10-item HIV/AIDS knowledge questionnaire adapted from a previously used instrument and the Health Care Provider HIV/AIDS Stigma Scale (HPASS; Turkish version), which measures stereotyping, discrimination, and prejudice.

Notably, 81.1% felt they would need to inform other staff when encountering a PLHIV, which may raise confidentiality concerns; 67.4% believed HIV is mostly acquired through risky behaviours, and only 69.1% were comfortable working with an HIV-positive colleague. <b>Conclusions:</b> Stigmatizing attitudes were common and were associated with age and professional experience rather than with knowledge assessment scores. These findings generate the hypothesis that interventions addressing the attitudinal and professional-culture dimensions of stigma-particularly among more senior staff-may be more effective than information provision alone.
