Social support has long been associated with positive physical, behavioral, and mental health outcomes. However, contextual factors such as subjective social status and an individual’s cultural values, heavily influence social support behaviors (e.g., perceive available social support, accept support, seek support, provide support). We sought to determine the current state of social support behaviors and the association between these behaviors, cultural values, and subjective social support across regions of the world. Data from 6,366 participants were collected by collaborators from over 50 worldwide sites (67.4% or n = 4292, assigned female at birth; average age of 30.76). Our results show that individuals cultural values and subjective social status varied across world regions and were differentially associated with social support behaviors. For example, individuals with higher subjective social status were more likely to indicate more perceived and received social support and help-seeking behaviors; they also indicated more provision of social support to others than individuals with lower subjective social status. Further, horizontal, and vertical collectivism were related to higher help-seeking behavior, perceived support, received support, and provision of support, whereas horizontal individualism was associated with less perceived support and less help-seeking and vertical individualism was associated with less perceived and received support, but more help-seeking behavior. However, these effects were not consistently moderated by region. These findings highlight and advance the understanding of how cross-cultural complexities and contextual distinctions influence an individual's perception, processing, and practice of social support embedded in the changing social landscape.

Semantic priming has been studied for nearly 50 years across various experimental manipulations and theoretical frameworks. These studies provide insight into the cognitive underpinnings of semantic representations in both healthy and clinical populations; however, they have suffered from several issues including generally low sample sizes and a lack of diversity in linguistic implementations. Here, we will test the size and the variability of the semantic priming effect across ten languages by creating a large database of semantic priming values, based on an adaptive sampling procedure. Differences in response latencies between related word-pair conditions and unrelated word-pair conditions (i.e., difference score confidence interval is greater than zero) will allow quantifying evidence for semantic priming, whereas improvements in model fit with the addition of a random intercept for language will provide support for variability in semantic priming across languages.

... At present, the study of the impact of social behaviors and social support on mental health has garnered widespread attention (Bjørlykhaug et al., 2022;Yuan et al., 2023;Szkody et al., 2024;Chen et al., 2024). However, there is a scarcity of literature that examines depression from a social relationship standpoint, particularly regarding strong ties within social connections. ...

... I refer to this as a partial pre-registration. 1 More experienced researchers may wish to go further by attempting a full registration, which additionally includes the planned computational (e.g., how a linguistic feature is extracted) and statistical (e.g., what statistical tests will be used) procedures. 2 Full pre-registrations, in their maximum form, include also the analysis codes (e.g., R codes), which could be attached to the pre-registration document. 3 Typically, among empirical studies in psychology, those aimed at replicating prior findings or built on very established experimental procedures tend to use full preregistration with analysis codes attached (e.g., Mak et al., 2023b; see also Buchanan et al., 2024 for an example of a large-scale replication project). ...
