Extant research documents the impact of meritocratic narratives in news media that justify economic inequality. This paper inductively explores whether popular music is a source cultural frames about We construct an original dataset combining user data from Spotify with lyrics Genius and employ unsupervised computational text analysis to classify content 3,660 most songs across 23 European countries. Drawing on Lizardo’s enculturation framework, we analyze through lens public culture explore...
The ubiquity of social media platforms fuels heated discussions about algorithms and selection biases leading people into online “echo chambers.” Scholars argue that deepen societal polarization fuel political extremism. However, studies often focus on effects, disregarding individual agency (sub)cultural values shape communication. As a strategic case study, this article, based mixed-methods analysis, including network qualitative analysis 1199 comments under four conspiracy theory comment...
Research has extensively studied the negative effects of digital communication on adolescents' well-being. However, positive experiences and behavior in adolescence are still poorly understood. The recently developed Digital Flourishing Scale addresses this gap focuses perceptions a user's behaviors among adults. In paper, we an adolescent version scale.

Previous research has mostly correlated screen time with adolescents’ social, cognitive, and emotional well-being outcomes, while overlooking subjective experiences of smartphone use. The present filled this gap by developing validating the Perceived Digital Well-Being in Adolescence Scale (PDWBA). This semantic differential scale was developed conducting a literature review five cognitive interviews Slovenian adolescents then tested two cross-sectional studies. A total 161 participated...

This was delivered via online across Belgium (n = 479), United Kingdom 445), and Italy 454). Parents from consistently accepted their children accessing digital material at youngest ages, whereas Italian participants selected oldest groups.

Much research documented the influence of music on various behaviors, including substance use and delinquency. Yet, less is known about its influences dimensions that are crucial for behavioral outcomes, namely beliefs attitudes. In this study, we reviewed meta-analyzed literature effects ( n = 82, published 1972–2021) by mapping theoretical methodological features literature, focusing effect size characteristics (e.g., age, design) open scientific practices. Results indicate a relationship...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNA that have key roles in the development of immune system and involved pathogenesis various autoimmune diseases. We previously demonstrated two members miR106b-25 cluster miR17-92 paralog were upregulated T regulatory cells from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim present work was to clarify impact clusters MS pathogenesis. Here, we show mice lacking or both (double knockout) protected Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) while...

Sociologists usually conceptualize events as unexpected occurrences bringing about long-lasting transformations of social structures. Following this definition, most empirical studies focus on pre/post-measurement strategies. Yet not all are (e.g., Eurovision, Oscar nominations, the Olympics). Moreover, pre/post-measurements cannot capture temporality in which meaning-making processes unfold nor account for overlap between various events. We address these shortcomings by introducing concept...
