This study aimed to explore dysfunctional romantic beliefs among women undergraduate students and the meanings they attribute to romantic messages received from traditional media and social media. Using a qualitative research design, twenty heterosexual undergraduate women participated in in-depth semi-structured inte…

This study examined female athletes’ AI-based beauty perceptions by national athlete status, income, sports experience, age, and discipline. This cross-sectional comparative study included 657 active female athletes during the 2025–2026 season. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Artificial I…

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum neuroactive steroids (NAS) and oxytocin and craving and psychosocial functioning in men diagnosed with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, 40 men with MUD (PG) and 41 non-substance-use-disor…

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems prove their utility in various aspects of daily life, their potential risk to societal progress is still debated given the increasing rates of their discriminatory behaviors. Some preliminary evidence suggests that the same discriminatory behavior may be perceived differently wh…

Dynamic face perception depends on how local information from moving face parts is used within the broader configuration of the face. The present study used a temporal-direction discrimination task to examine the part-based neural contributions of the eyes and mouth during dynamic face processing. Across two experimen…

Behavioral observation offers a powerful approach for relationship science but is constrained by coder bias and resource demands. Using a widely employed couple conflict discussion paradigm, we illustrate how these challenges can be addressed. First, we show that thin-slice coding, a method commonly used in zero-acqua…

How the brain processes facial expressions and whether this process requires focal attention have been central topics of neurophysiological research on face processing. In a seminal study, using scalp-recorded event-related potentials (ERPs), Eimer, Holmes, and McGlone (2003) found that emotional and neutral faces wer…

Abstract Research focusing on first impression formation based on facial stimuli lacks a conclusion on whether there is a cross-cultural agreement and how deeply it has proliferated across distant populations. Social media may play an important role in the level of cross-cultural agreement as they provide us with over…
