Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed numerous facets of both private and professional life. Understanding how people evaluate AI is crucial for predicting its future adoption and addressing potential barriers. However, existing instruments measuring attitudes towards AI often focus on specific technologies or cross-domain evaluat...
The origin of sexual reproduction represents a central problem in evolutionary biology. In this study, we develop a theoretical model that evaluates whether cellular fusion (syngamy) could have conferred an immediate selective advantage by reducing generation time. We employ a simplified framework in which a population of primitive, haploid cells-g...

The main objective of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the respondents’ demographic profile and their Job e...
Parenting behaviors that support and hinder adolescents’ developmental needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence are associated with adolescent self-control. However, less research has examined a range of parenting behaviors in relation to adolescent self-control within a single study. Moreover, these associations may vary based on adolescent...
This chapter explores two primary questions: What range of unwanted contact incidents do sex workers most frequently encounter? Moreover, how does the law influence their understanding, interpretation, and definition of these incidents? We highlight the concept of transactional legal consciousness, distinguishing it from rape consciousness, to expl...
While stereotypes are a rigid system of beliefs held by society about certain groups of people, gender stereotypes are a particular type of these beliefs, whereby socio-culture assigns certain characteristics or values to individuals based on their biological sex.
