Article Abstract
The research examined the three constructs of Second Language Motivational Self System (L2MSS) and Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) as predictors of Motivated Behavior (MB) based on the participants (N = 335) of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in a Chinese education context. The exploratory factor analysis has been conducted to reveal the two components of Second Language Learning Experience (L2LE). By closer scrutiny of the theoretical model, we have found Ideal Second Language Self (Ideal L2 self), Emotional Engagement L2 Learning Experience (EEL2LE), Behavior Engagement L2 Learning Experience (BEL2LE), FLE as significant direct predictors of motivated behavior. Additionally, we also found that the Ideal L2 self can predict the motivated behavior mediated by EEL2LE and BEL2LE, and that EEL2LE can predict motivated behavior through FLE. Also, ought-to L2 self has been found to significantly predict motivated behavior mediated by BEL2LE. The results extended the scope of the L2MSS by integrating FLE and supplied suggestions for foreign language instruction based on the socio-educational context of China.

Principles of Industry-Academic Partnerships Informed by Digital Mental Health Collaboration: Mixed Methods Study.
JMIR Ment Health
September 2025
National Institute of Health and Care Research MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.
Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa-Improving Child Diet Quality and Parental Feeding Practices: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, United States.
Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Antimicrobial resistance is largely driven by overuse of antibiotics, which is particularly common in low- and middle-income countries. We combine provider knowledge assessments and over 2000 anonymous standardized patient visits to providers in India to examine why they overprescribe antibiotics for pediatric diarrhea and figure out how to reduce overprescribing. Seventy percent of providers prescribed antibiotics without indication of bacterial infection.

The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to long-lived oscillations. Despite the success of viewing scars from the perspectives of symmetry, commutant algebra, and quasiparticles, it remains a challenge to elucidate the mechanism underlying all QMBS and to distinguish them from other forms of ergodicity breaking.

Effectively motivating public action on climate change remains a central challenge for science communicators. This study investigated how message and messenger attributes shape viewers' motivation to act on climate change, and whether these effects vary as a function of political orientation. Using a policy-capturing design, 581 U.
