Summary: Existing literature on social media rumors has mainly focused on their sharing, neglecting studies on rumor refutation. This study proposes a dual-pathway model to examine the impact of different information sources on online rumor refutation. The findings suggest that individuals' health self-efficacy and infection risk perception mediate the relationship between seeking COVID-19-related information and rumor refutation, while peer condition and peer communication moderate these paths.

Summary: Based on a sample of Belgian young adults, the study found that although beheading videos are the most sought-after extremist materials online, they are not the most predictive of radicalization. On the other hand, static jihadist magazines, which are less popular, are actually more strongly associated with radicalization.

Summary: Emotion regulation choice refers to the process by which individuals choose different regulation strategies in different contexts. Executive control and the level of engagement-disengagement considerations are the cognitive mechanisms of emotion regulation choice, while the neural mechanisms of emotion regulation choice still need to be explored further. Affective, cognitive, and motivational factors have varying degrees of influence on emotion regulation choice, but there is a lack of a reliable framework to study the relationship between these influences and the outcome of their combined effect on emotion regulation choices.

Summary: Research suggests that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in India are hesitant to adopt leading management practices, which puts them at a competitive disadvantage against larger firms. Their reluctance may be explained by their satisficing behaviors, where they continue with business as usual and do not actively search for optimal solutions. Overcoming these biases may require SMEs to strive for strategic flexibility that allows for prompt adjustments in value creation activities.
