Summary: Newborn domestic chicks quickly learn to recognize and prefer familiar individuals. We conducted experiments to examine if lack of physical contact or social feedback during familiarization would affect affiliative preference, and hypothesized the importance of social responsiveness. The results showed that despite the absence of haptic interaction or being seen by its cagemate, chicks still preferred the familiar individual. However, when the familiar individual was socially unresponsive, chicks developed a preference for the unfamiliar individual. These findings emphasize the significance of social interaction in the early stages of life, regardless of familiarity.

Summary: Through structured interviews, researchers explored the understanding and clinical application of practical wisdom among medical students and physicians. The findings suggest that practical wisdom is a multidimensional virtue that is closely related to ethics, professionalism, clinical judgment, and individualized patient care in medicine. Efforts to teach practical wisdom in medical education should clarify its dimensions and emphasize its relationship with other virtues.

Summary: The study compared the results of the MMS and TST, revealing that MMS captures a more comprehensive range of elements in individuals' self-concepts, including other people, school crowd labels, aspirations for the future, and undesirable selves. It was found that when other people are included in the self-concept, they are ranked as one of the most important elements. The study also discusses the limitations of MMS and provides directions for future research.

Summary: This study examines the influence of airport servicescape on passengers' emotional and behavioral responses, using environmental and positive psychology models. The results show that the servicescape significantly affects passengers' emotions and satisfaction, leading to intentions of repurchasing, recommending, paying more, and spending more at the airport. The study also finds that the strength of these effects is contingent upon passengers' travel frequency.
