Objective: Numerous studies have demonstrated that religious belief is associated with prosocial behavior. However, how do they maintain cooperation in societies with a predominating atheist population, such as China? Different primings (explicit, subliminal, implicit) and a quasi-experiment are used to examine the link between communist authority and prosocial behaviors among college students in China.
Materials And Methods: In Study 1 ( = 398), the subjects' communist authority in the university lab was primed by a communist-authority video. In Study 2 ( = 296), we compared the priming effects of communist authority and religion on prosocial intention. Study 3 ( = 311) investigated the priming effect of communist authority on prosocial behaviors by employing a scrambled sentence task in the university lab. A quasi-experiment was conducted in Study 4 ( = 313).
Results: Results showed that communist-authority, a reminder of secular authorities, increased prosociality among college students. And empathy moderated the relationship between secular authorities and prosociality in Study 3 and Study 4.
Discussion: Communist authority, a secular authority prime, has a positive effect on promoting prosocial behaviors. These results provided a feasible yet novel way to reveal the mechanism of the relationship between secular authorities and prosociality in China.

The promotion of low-carbon and green development is emphasized in the report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, indicating that the deepening concept of green transformation is significant to Guangdong's modernization and development of environmental protection industries. The purpose of this study is to effectively enhance the green total factor energy productivity (TFEP) and narrow its spatial differences to achieve the coherent development of environmental protection. The GML and FGNZ decomposition methodologies are adopted to examine the TFEP in Guangdong Province.

Although there is a growing awareness of the co-occurrence of internet gaming disorder (IGD) with other mental health problems, the specific patterns of how these symptoms interact over time, especially across different age groups, remain unclear. The current study utilizes cross-lagged panel network modeling (CLPN) to investigate the dynamic, longitudinal relationships among symptoms of IGD, depression and anxiety among adolescents across time, and how these connections change with different developmental stages. A total of 3296 middle and late adolescents who have finished 3-time points research were included in the present study.

Article Synopsis
- Vietnam has prioritized preventing drug-related crimes and rehabilitating users since the 1990s, but has faced challenges in fully implementing harm reduction strategies.
- The country’s anti-narcotic approach emphasizes zero tolerance for traffickers and often leads to imprisonment of drug users instead of providing health support.
- Despite official commitments to harm minimization, discrepancies in policies and practices hinder effective implementation, with recommendations for improving harm reduction in policing being proposed.
