Summary: Curiosity can promote learning and other benefits, but how highly curious people interpret and process uncertainty differently from their less curious counterparts is not well understood. We found that interest-type curiosity was associated with finding uncertainty enjoyable and focusing on positive possibilities, while deprivation-type curiosity was associated with lower tolerance for uncertainty and focusing on negative possibilities.

Summary: The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of global mood on cryptocurrencies trading activity. By constructing a real-time language-free proxy of sentiment based on songs chosen by investors, the study finds that music sentiment is a reliable indicator of individuals' mood swings. Interestingly, the research shows a negative and significant correlation between music sentiment and trading volume as well as price volatility, which is not influenced by recall bias or specific cryptocurrencies, and is robust to listeners' preferences. The effect persists for up to four lags in price volatility and reverses on day 3 for trading volume.

Summary: The warmth and conflict levels between parents and adolescents have a significant impact on how loved the adolescents feel on a daily basis. Higher levels of parent-reported warmth and closeness with parents are associated with increased feelings of love in adolescents. Additionally, fluctuations in parent-reported warmth and conflict can explain the day-to-day variability in how loved adolescents feel. On days with more warmth and less conflict, adolescents report feeling more loved.

Summary: This article explores the abilities, thoughts, and expectations of Italian students in classical high schools in facing the challenges of new educational changes. The study, conducted in a classical high school in Cagliari, Italy, utilized a mixed methods approach to gather data through a digital skills questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. The findings indicate that adolescents possess the necessary skills for transmedia learning but need to improve their collaboration skills. From a cognitive and affective standpoint, students exhibit positivity and enthusiasm towards the new possibilities of transmedia learning.

Summary: The discovery of the animal thermosensory channel TRPV1, which was awarded the 2021 Nobel prize, shares notable features with the higher plant thermosensory channel CNGC2/4. Both channels respond to changes in plasma membrane fluidity induced by temperature, leading to hyperphosphorylation of the HSF1 transcription factor via a specific heat-signaling cascade.

Summary: Climate change has a growing impact on the quality of life for organisms on Earth, particularly contributing to the extinction of complex life forms. From a human-centered perspective, global warming poses a major threat to human health and compromises crop yields and food security. Therefore, studying the heat-stress resistance mechanisms in plants is crucial for agricultural productivity under climate change.

Summary: The study found that feelings of hope significantly predicted greater intentions to engage in climate action, while feelings of boredom significantly decreased intention. The impact of anxiety and helplessness on intentions was not as pronounced. This highlights the previously underexplored link between emotional reactions to contemplating climate action and intentions to engage in it.

Summary: This article examines the meaning of "mood" in the context of pollsters, journalists, and politicians. It argues that the concept of mood differs from "public opinion" and reflects a shift away from the belief that political action is solely driven by rationality. The article emphasizes the impact of mood on public disposition, the disorienting effects of globalism, and the emergence of new spaces where emotions can freely travel and mutate.

Summary: This study uses projective techniques to investigate the existence and manifestations of socio-cultural aversions towards Indigenous tourism in Australia. The findings indicate the presence of both explicit and implicit aversions, including racial stereotypes, cultural distancing, avoidance, ambivalence, and indifference. The study contributes to Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) research on consumer identity, socio-historic patterning, and marketplace culture. Additionally, practical recommendations are provided for destination managers and tourism stakeholders regarding product repositioning and marketing strategies.

Summary: This study adopted a cumulative risk approach to examine the relationships between different risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic and carers' and children's mental health. The findings revealed that each domain of adversity contributed uniquely to mental health outcomes, and pre-existing psychosocial risk factors moderated the impact of pandemic-related factors on anxiety levels and well-being. The study highlights the importance of considering the implications of social isolation and confinement for families' mental health, especially for those with pre-existing vulnerabilities.

Summary: This study aimed to understand students' experiences and perceptions of interventions for self-harm. Three key themes were identified: 'understanding self-harm', 'barriers to seeking support', and 'preferences in support'. The study found that providing options and addressing factors beyond reducing self-harm frequency are important according to the students' perspectives.

Summary: University students are more likely to self-harm but less likely to seek help. Face-to-face support for self-harm may be a barrier, while smartphone applications like BlueIce are seen as alternative sources of support. This study assessed the acceptability of BlueIce among university students with a history of self-harm and found that it was viewed positively.

Summary: This study examined the acceptability and impact of digital cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBTi) on sleep and mental health in adolescents. The results showed that a significant number of adolescents accepted the digital CBTi intervention and those who completed at least half of the program experienced greater improvements in sleep. Furthermore, a high percentage of those who completed the program did not require further interventions. Despite some limitations, the findings suggest that digital CBTi may be an effective approach for improving sleep and mental health in adolescents with insomnia.

Summary: This study explored the associations between maladaptive cognitions and mood symptoms in bipolar disorder (BD) and found that maladaptive metacognitions predicted future depression severity. The relationship between maladaptive cognitions and depression was partially mediated by self-compassion, while the relationship with mania was weak and suggested that self-compassion could increase mania.

Summary: Dysfunctional attitudes (DA) are significantly higher in bipolar disorder (BD) compared to healthy controls, but no difference is observed between BD and unipolar participants. Mood state has a significant impact on DA scores in BD, with higher scores in depressed participants. Psychological therapies appear to reduce DA in BD.
