Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TikTok's algorithm‐driven feed is reshaping electoral communication, yet a clear understanding of its effects is lacking. This study synthesizes and appraises evidence on how the platform's design and governance shape political (dis)information and may affect electoral dynamics.

Medical pluralism and kincentric care in Indigenous Australia: Yanyuwa experiences of illness and the importance of keeping company

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract For over four decades we have collaborated as a team of anthropologists and Indigenous Elders of the Yanyuwa language group. The Yanyuwa are the Indigenous owners of lands and waters in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria. While medicalized healthcare has not been our specific research focus, wellness and ill health have been recurring themes ...

Birth of a scapegoat: An actor‐affect‐affordance model of symbolic attribution in the digital age

Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract How do scapegoating narratives emerge, diffuse, and solidify within digital media ecosystems? This paper introduces an actor‐affect‐affordance (3A) model to explain how complex social problems become symbolically attributed to marginalized groups.

“It Was Like They'd Lit a Fuse”: A Mixed‐Methods Investigation Into Rage

Aggressive Behavior, Volume 52, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Impulsive acts of violence are perpetrated by a small proportion of society, which anecdotal evidence suggests often occurs in a rage state. Rage has generally been conceptualized as extreme anger, but it may be qualitatively different from extreme anger.

Mathematical Model of the Dynamics of Rumor Propagation

Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2019
In this study, we proposed a deterministic mathematical model that attempts to explain the propagation of a rumor using epidemiological models approach. The population is divided into four classes which consist of ignorant individuals, I(t), spreaders targeting community through media, M(t), spreaders targeting community through verbal communication, G(

Remarks on a rumor propagation model

, 2016
This short note contains a few comments and corrections about some recent models for the spread of rumors in a population. We consider a system of ordinary differential equations which describes the evolution of Ignorant-Spreaders-Stiflers in time. State of the art of analytical understanding of those equations is based on studying asymptotic solutions
