We examine the learning effects of borrowers' failures in online lending. Based on funding ratios of borrowers' loan listings in online lending, we first explore the role of failure degree in borrowers' future funding performance. Further, we disaggregate borrowers' funding failure into complete failure and incomplete failure, and compare theirs learning effects. Using a large sample of 610,000 online loan applications over six years from a Chinese leading online lending platform Renrendai, we use funding ratio to quantifiably measure each loan listing's failure degree and conduct a series of tests. The results show that: (1) Borrowers' failure degree of prior loan applications is negatively associated with one's subsequent funding performance. (2) Borrowers' complete failure cannot promote learning, while incomplete failure is good for future performance. (3) Both incomplete failure and complete failure interacted to influence the value of each type of experience and generate improved learning. Our results are robust across a variety of settings. The study sheds light for deeply understanding of failure learning phenomenon, and can also provide important implications for online lending managers to support successful financial transactions.

"It's OK for Me to Cry": Client and Therapist Perspectives on Change Processes in SPEAKS Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa.
J Clin Psychol
January 2025
Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology, Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury, Kent, UK.
Introduction And Aims: Existing therapies for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) have limited effectiveness, necessitating the development of novel therapies and interventions. Hypothesizing and targeting clear mechanisms of change within treatment offer potential opportunities to improve them. The SPEAKS program aimed to develop, trial, and evaluate a therapy which targets key emotional and social factors known to be relevant in the development and maintenance of AN.

Background: Despite its obvious relevance for clinical practice and research, it is surprising that presently no hope measure is available for use among Arabic-speaking populations, especially the most vulnerable ones who have been going through major humanitarian crises. This paper aimed to provide novel insights into psychometric information on the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the Perceived Hope Scale (PHS) in Palestinians living in Gaza who have endured several months of suffering since the war began in October 2023.
Method: This study had a cross-sectional design and applied a quantitative research approach.
Exploring the early experiences of assisted dying in Aotearoa New Zealand: a qualitative study protocol.
BMJ Open

Bioethics Centre, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Article Synopsis
- Increasing legalisation of assisted dying (AD) in various jurisdictions necessitates thorough research on its implementation and outcomes, focusing particularly on the New Zealand AD service to evaluate its safety, accessibility, and respect for dignity.
- The study employs appreciative inquiry through online semi-structured interviews and focus groups with diverse stakeholders, aiming to understand their experiences and identify areas for improvement in AD practices.
- Ethical approval for the study has been secured, and findings will be shared through various channels, including publications, conferences, and direct feedback to influence governmental reviews related to the End of Life Choice Act 2019.*
Evaluating the psychometric properties of three WHO instruments to assess knowledge about human rights, attitudes toward persons with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities, and practices related to substitute decision-making and coercion in mental health.

Background: Instruments to assess the knowledge about the rights of persons with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities, the attitudes toward their role as rights holders, and mental health professionals' practices related to substitute decision-making and coercion are either missing or lack evaluation of their validity and reliability.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of three instruments developed to fill this gap in the literature, the World Health Organization's QualityRights (WHO QR) Knowledge questionnaire, the WHO QR Attitudes questionnaire, and the WHO QR Practices questionnaire.
Methods: A sample of participants was recruited and completed an online survey.
You sound like an evil young man: A distributional semantic analysis of systematic form-meaning associations for polarity, gender, and age in fictional characters' names.

We detail a successful attempt in modeling associations about the age, gender, and polarity of fictional characters based on their names alone. We started by collecting ratings through an online survey on a sample of annotated names from young-adult, children, and fan-fiction stories. We collected ratings over three semantic differentials (gender: male-female; age: old-young; polarity: evil-good) using a slider bar.
