Infants' Social Evaluation of Helpers and Hinderers: A Large-Scale, Multi-Lab, Coordinated Replication Study.

Evaluating whether someone's behavior is praiseworthy or blameworthy is a fundamental human trait. A seminal study by Hamlin and colleagues in 2007 suggested that the ability to form social evaluations based on third-party interactions emerges within the first year of life: infants preferred a character who helped, over hindered, another who tried but failed to climb a hill. This sparked a new line of inquiry into the origins of social evaluations; however, replication attempts have yielded mixed results.

Water-Triboelectrification-Complemented Moisture Electric Generator.

Energy harvesting from ubiquitous natural water vapor based on moisture electric generator (MEG) technology holds great potential to power portable electronics, the Internet of Things, and wireless transmission. However, most devices still encounter challenges of low output, and a single MEG complemented with another form of energy harvesting for achieving high power has seldom been demonstrated. Herein, we report a flexible and efficient hybrid generator capable of harvesting moisture and tribo energies simultaneously, both from the source of water droplets.

Ionic Hydrogel-Based Moisture Electric Generators for Underwater Electronics.

Ubiquitous moisture is of particular interest for sustainable power generation and self-powered electronics. However, current moisture electric generators (MEGs) can only harvest moisture energy in the air, which tremendously limits the energy harvesting efficiency and practical application scenarios. Herein, the operationality of MEG from air to underwater environment, through a sandwiched engineered-hydrogel device with an additional waterproof breathable membrane layer allowing water vapor exchange while preventing liquid water penetration, is expanded.

Effects of long-term exposure to high-altitude on episodic memory: The moderating role of daytime dysfunction.

Chronic exposure to high-altitude hypoxic environments may influence short-term memory and working memory. However, its impact on long-term memory, specifically episodic memory, remains understudied. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of long-term exposure to high altitude (3650 m) on episodic memory, including item memory and source memory.

Left-behind cumulative risk and academic adjustment in Chinese middle school students: The moderating effect of growth mindset.

Left-behind children, as a large-scale disadvantaged group, encounter an array of risk factors that impede their academic development because of parental migration. The current study aimed at investigating the roles of left-behind cumulative risk and growth mindset on academic adjustment and exploring whether growth mindset moderated the association between left-behind cumulative risk and academic adjustment in left-behind middle school students. A total of 1184 left-behind middle school students (615 males; 12-16 years) participated in the study.

Schadenfreude or empathy? Children's emotional responses to the physical pain and pleasure of prosocial and antisocial others.

Adults' emotional reactions to the pain and pleasure of others are influenced by the moral character of those individuals. However, it remains unclear whether children's emotional responses also show such selectivity. To investigate this, we compared 4- to 8-year-old children's emotional responses to the physical pain and pleasure of prosocial versus antisocial puppets.

The effects of long-term high-altitude exposure on cognition: A meta-analysis.

Long-term high altitudes (HA) exposure's impact on cognition has yielded inconsistent findings in previous research. To address this, we conducted a meta-analysis of 49 studies (6191 individuals) to comprehensively evaluate this effect. Moderating factors such as cognitive task type, altitude (1500-2500 m, 2500-4000 m, and above 4000 m), residential type (chronic and lifelong), adaptation level and demographic factors were analyzed.

Heuristic strategy of intuitive statistical inferences in 7- to 10-year-old children.

Intuitive statistical inferences refer to making inferences about uncertain events based on limited probabilistic information, which is crucial for both human and non-human species' survival and reproduction. Previous research found that 7- and 8-year-old children failed in intuitive statistical inference tasks after heuristic strategies had been controlled. However, few studies systematically explored children's heuristic strategies of intuitive statistical inferences and their potential numerical underpinnings.

Parental Burnout and Prosocial Behavior among Chinese Adolescents: The Role of Empathy.

Parental burnout refers to exhaustion caused by the parenting role. This devastating negative emotion can have repercussions for adolescent social development. Nevertheless, much remains unclear about the association between parental burnout and adolescent prosocial behavior and the potential mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Do Bad People Deserve Empathy? Selective Empathy Based on Targets' Moral Characteristics.

The relation between empathy and morality is a widely discussed topic. However, previous discussions mainly focused on whether and how empathy influences moral cognition and moral behaviors, with limited attention to the reverse influence of morality on empathy. This review summarized how morality influences empathy by drawing together a number of hitherto scattered studies illustrating the influence of targets' moral characteristics on empathy.

Outstanding Humidity Chemiresistors Based on Imine-Linked Covalent Organic Framework Films for Human Respiration Monitoring.

Human metabolite moisture detection is important in health monitoring and non-invasive diagnosis. However, ultra-sensitive quantitative extraction of respiration information in real-time remains a great challenge. Herein, chemiresistors based on imine-linked covalent organic framework (COF) films with dual-active sites are fabricated to address this issue, which demonstrates an amplified humidity-sensing signal performance.

Two-Dimensional Bimetallic Phthalocyanine Covalent-Organic-Framework-Based Chemiresistive Gas Sensor for ppb-Level NO Detection.

Two-dimensional (2D) phthalocyanine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) provide an ideal platform for efficient and rapid gas sensing-this can be attributed to their regular structure, moderate conductivity, and a large number of scalable metal active centers. However, there remains a need to explore structural modification strategies for optimizing the sluggish desorption process caused by the extensive porosity and strong adsorption effect of metal sites. Herein, we reported a 2D bimetallic phthalocyanine-based COF (COF-CuNiPc) as chemiresistive gas sensors that exhibited a high gas-sensing performance to nitrogen dioxide (NO).

Examining whether adults with autism spectrum disorder encounter multiple problems in theory of mind: a study based on meta-analysis.

Theory of mind (ToM) represents a complex ability, while persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encounter difficulties in the processing of ToM. The present ToM-focused studies on adults with ASD report inconsistent results, possibly owing to the differences between tasks. For instance, different ToM-related tasks involve different cognitive abilities, but the development of these cognitive abilities is different among adults with ASD, thereby leading to different behaviors by the same individual with ASD in different tasks.

Majestic tigers: personality structure in the great Amur cat.

We explore individual differences in tiger personality. We first asked-is there evidence of personality dimensions (analogous to the Big Five in human personality research) in the Amur tiger? We then asked, are any discoverable personality dimensions associated with measured outcomes, including group status, health and mating frequency? 152 of our participating tigers live in the world's largest semi-wild tiger sanctuary in North Eastern China. Our second sample of 96 tigers also lives in a sanctuary.

Molecular-level uniform graphene/polyaniline composite film for flexible supercapacitors with high-areal capacitance.

To increase the specific capacitance of supercapacitors, polyaniline (PANI) has been chosen as additive electrode material for the pseudocapacitive performance. Here, we synthesize a molecular-level uniform reduced graphene oxide/PANI (rGO/PANI) composite film with high flexibility and conductivity via self-assembly and specific thermal reduction, which performs great potential in flexible supercapacitors with high areal capacitance. Particularly, the electrode of rGO/PANI-42.

The concurrent and longitudinal impact of sleep on mind wandering in early adolescents.

Mind wandering refers to task-unrelated thoughts that can interfere with ongoing tasks and could be sleep-driven across childhood. The present study investigated the mechanisms of the association between early adolescents' sleep and mind wandering with emotional symptoms and executive function as potential mediators. A total of 257 early adolescents (baseline aged 9-13 years old; 131 boys) completed the questionnaires consisting of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, mind wandering, depression and anxiety symptoms, and executive function.

Culture, Aging, Self-Continuity, and Life Satisfaction.

The present work examines how culture and age interact to influence self-continuity and life satisfaction. Specifically, we compared Canadian and Chinese young (17-26 years old) and older adults (60-88 years old) in their sense of self-continuity and life satisfaction (N = 424). Consistent with past research, older adults reported greater self-continuity compared to their young counterparts, while cross-cultural comparisons showed that young Chinese reported greater self-continuity than young Canadians.

The guiding value of hybrid resting full-cycle ratio and fractional flow reserve strategy for percutaneous coronary intervention in a Chinese real-world cohort with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Objective: The study aimed to assess the correlation and agreement between resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR), and evaluate the guiding value of a hybrid RFR-FFR strategy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a Chinese real-world cohort with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 109 patients with NSTE-ACS (149 diseased vessels), who underwent an invasive physiological assessment in Cangzhou Central Hospital, Hebei Medical University, were prospectively enrolled from September 2021 to May 2022. FFR ≤ 0.

High-Performance Visible-Near-Infrared Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Photodetectors via Interfacial Charge-Transfer-Induced Improvement by Surface Doping.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are considered to be promising candidates for next-generation near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors due to their extraordinary electrical and optical properties. However, the low separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers limits the full utilization of the potential of pristine SWCNTs as photoactive materials. Herein, we report a novel high-performance visible-NIR SWCNT-based photodetector via interfacial charge-transfer-induced improvement by Au nanoparticle (AuNP) surface doping.

The relation between aggression and theory of mind in children: A meta-analysis.

Previous findings on the association between theory of mind (ToM) and aggression in children are mixed. The social skills deficit view regarded ToM as a single-edged sword and proposed that a lack of ToM can lead to aggression, while the double-edged sword view proposed that children with advanced ToM can still show much aggression because children can also leverage ToM to harm others. To resolve the dispute between the two views, we conducted a meta-analysis combining cross-sectional and longitudinal findings from 53 studies including a total of 11,579 children aged between 2 and 15 years.

A non-invasive smart scaffold for bone repair and monitoring.

Existing strategies for bone defect repair are difficult to monitor. Smart scaffold materials that can quantify the efficiency of new bone formation are important for bone regeneration and monitoring. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have promising bioactivity and electrical conductivity.
