We are all ordinary: the shared visual narratives of daily life promote the patients' positive attitudes toward doctors.

Background: Current research on the doctor-patient relationship primarily focuses on the responsibilities of doctors, with relatively less emphasis on examining the contributions patients can make. As a result, there is an urgent demand for exploring innovative approaches that highlight the active role patients play in cultivating a robust doctor-patient relationship. The purpose of this study was to devise an intervention strategy centered around patients to enhance the doctor-patient relationship.

Evaluation of the reliability and validity of the health regulatory focus scale in Chinese samples.

This study sought to validate the psychometric properties of the Health Regulatory Focus Scale (HRFS), emphasizing its manifestation and association with personality traits in a Chinese context.

Unraveling controversies over civic honesty measurement: An extended field replication in China.

Cohn et al. (2019) conducted a wallet drop experiment in 40 countries to measure "civic honesty around the globe," which has received worldwide attention but also sparked controversies over using the email response rate as the sole metric of civic honesty. Relying on the lone measurement may overlook cultural differences in behaviors that demonstrate civic honesty.

Objectives: As an important part of health literacy, oral health literacy has been adapted to dental practice and research. The 14-item short version of the Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) scale demonstrated excellent reliability, validity and precision when tested among English-speaking populations. However, an appropriate and reliable assessment of this scale in other language contexts remains lacking.

Development and validation of a risk perception scale of medical help-seeking behavior in Chinese adults.
